Piplup
Diamond

Because it is very proud, it hates accepting food from people. Its thick down guards it from cold.

Pearl

It lives along shores in northern countries. A skilled swimmer, it dives for over 10 minutes to hunt.

Platinum

A poor walker, it often falls down. However, its strong pride makes it puff up its chest without a care.

Heartgold/Soulsilver

It doesn’t like to be taken care of. It’s difficult to bond with since it won’t listen to its Trainer.
