Prinplup (Japanese: ポッタイシ Pottaishi) is the Water-type Starter Pokémon of the Sinnoh region, evolved from Piplup. Introduced in Generation IV.
Biology
Physiology
Prinplup is a penguin that is considerably larger than its pre-evolved form, Piplup. It has two large wings that are about half the length of Piplup. On Prinplup's head is a yellow crown that lies above the eyes. Prinplup's chubby torso is a light blue with four white spots, two on each side. The feet of Prinplup are more webbed than Piplup's and are yellow. Its fins are tipped with light blue. It also has a dark blue tail in the shape of a fin.
Natural abilities
Prinplup, like all the other Water-type starters, has the ability Torrent. When Prinplup's HP is below 1/3, its Water-type moves increase in strength. Hunting in icy waters, Prinplup's most effective weapons are its flippers, which are strong enough to snap a tree in two.
Evolution
Prinplup is the evolved form of Piplup as of level 16. It evolves into Empoleon at level 36.

Trivia
Origin
Prinplup is based on a crested penguin.
Etymology
Prinplup is a mix of the words prince(ss), plump (fat, referring to its chubby appearance and the thick layers of blubber real penguins (and thus presumably Prinplup) have evolved as insulation and energy storage) and plup (sound of a tiny splash).
Pottaishi is a portmanteau of ポチャポチャ (onomatopoeia for splashing, as well as a word meaning "plump"), "potbelly" (as it's a rather fat Pokémon), and 皇太子 (kōtaishi, "crown prince," whose second kanji means "fat").
