Piplup Evolution: Q4: How To Get Piplup

Piplup can lurk in the third Pokemon Legends area: Arceus called the Cobalt Coastlands. More specifically, Piplup will be found at a pond close to the Islepsy Shore. This water Pokemon is essential for you to catch if you want to explore the Coastlands thoroughly. Piplup is a bit hasty, so you need to be patient in catching it. Here’s how to do it.

  • Go to a place called the Spring Path to try and find Piplup. Since there is water all around the place, you will need to whip out your Basculegion Pokemon to get a ride over the water and towards Spring Path.
  • You will have to cross Lunker’s Lair and Seagrass Haven to finally reach the Islepsy Shore.
  • You will find some very strong Pokemons, such as Alpha Empoleon on the Islepsy Shore, but try to avoid the stronger Pokemons as you won’t be ready to catch them on the lower level and a lower star rank.
  • Next, you need to locate a pond and a white cave icon towards the north side of the map. That white cave on the map is Spring Path.
  • Skip the white cave icon and go towards the pond in Islepsy Shore. You will find at least one Piplup among several Bibarels.
  • Piplups are easy to get away with, so avid engaging in a battle and approach in a subtle way. Your best shot is capturing it by a back strike catch.
