Kinda underrated tbh

It’s good, I guess.

Which translates to “not too great.”

Piplup is boring

Prinplup my beloved middle stage, super s l a y

And of course Empoleon is cool

10/10 is it was just piplup and empoleon but priplup brings it down to a 8/10

Why aren't they ice type

Piplup is cute and Empoleon is cool, and Prinplup is alright, but it didn't translate well to 3D.

When Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Series began with Dawn as Ash's next female traveling companion I thought back then that Dawn's Piplup will later evolved into Prinplup then into Empoleon just May's Blaziken, Serena's Delphox, Lana's Primarina and Goh's Cinderace and Inteleon unfortunely that never really happen which is a huge disappointment and waste of this Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Series.

The real reason why the Japanese writers never wanted to have Dawn's Piplup evolved in the first place is because they don't like it's evolution design as to them they think Empoleon is ugly and perfect a cute unevolved Pokemon like Piplup for Dawn in the Pokemon Contest. Well I disagree and they're wrong because I don't really see Empoleon ugly at all in fact I think it's powerful and awsome which is perfect Dawn's team in the Pokemon contest.

Piplup is the only good member of the line. It falls off immediately after Piplup becomes Prinplup.

Turtwig is the only Sinnoh Starter that stays good when it evolves. Chimchar isn’t good in any form, and Empoleon and Prinplup suck.

And because it’s weak to the other two because Fighting beats Steel, while Ground also beats Steel.
