Prinplup

() is the -type First partner Pokémon of the Sinnoh region, which evolved from Piplup. It was 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.
===Behavior===
Prinplup normally prefer a solitary life. This is because they are all dignified and proud of themselves, which makes them difficult to form groups with one another.When two Prinplup meet, they will engage in displays of dominance to assert control over disputed territory. By puffing out their chests and waving around their wings, each Prinplup will attempt to appear larger than the other in order to “win” the fight. 
===Natural abilities===
Hunting in icy waters, Prinplup's most effective weapons are their 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==
*Prinplup resembles a crested penguin, genus Eudyptes.
===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").
