11Overview22Piplup is a Water-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Penguin Pokemon (Dex #128). Piplup is a proud little Pokemon that has a hard time accepting food from people, but it is loyal to those it trusts. Piplup is the first stage in a three-member family that includes Prinplup (Dex #129) and Empoleon (Dex #130). While there is no evolution mechanic in Pokopia, all three can be found independently across different habitats. Piplup carries the Water specialty, making it a helpful partner for watering plants and maintaining crops.44Habitat66Piplup is found at the Hydrated Yellow Tall Grass habitat. This is a specific variant of the Yellow Tall Grass habitat that requires water tiles nearby.88Hydrated Yellow Tall Grass1111A patch of yellow tall grass that is kept moist by adjacent water tiles.

They can be arranged in a line or L-shape.Add Water: Make sure at least two of the grass tiles are touching a freshwater source. Do not build too close to the ocean, or you will create a Seaside Tall Grass habitat instead, which attracts Slowpoke rather than Piplup.2626How to Befriend2828After creating the Hydrated Yellow Tall Grass habitat with the correct water placement, Piplup will appear as a Common visitor. Walk up to it and interact to befriend it.3030Specialty: Water3232Piplup has the Water specialty. Pokemon with this specialty can spray water on nearby fields and plants.

In the main Pokemon series, Piplup evolves into Prinplup at level 16, and Prinplup evolves into Empoleon at level 36. In Pokopia, there is no evolution mechanic, so each member must be found at its own habitat independently. Piplup and Prinplup both appear at the Hydrated Yellow Tall Grass habitat, with Piplup as Common and Prinplup as Rare.4848Tips5050Make sure you use freshwater tiles, not ocean water, when building Piplup's habitat.
