Piplup to Empoleon: Your Ultimate Guide to Evolving Your Pokemon Go Partner
Piplup is a semi-rare Pokemon in Pokemon Go which is loved by players for its adorable appearance and its drastic evolution. Piplup evolution takes it from a water-type Pokemon to a Water and Steel-type Pokemon which makes it resistant to most types of attacks.
So if you are planning on evolving your Piplup then it is definitely a good idea to spend time and resources in evolving this water-type Pokemon to its final form. However, you can’t just stumble upon a Piplup while walking in random places. This Pokemon has very specific spawn locations and it may not be simple to enter an encounter with it.
Part 1: What Level Does Piplup Evolve?
Pilpup being a water-type Pokemon is weak to electric and grass-type Pokemon however it is more durable against fire, ice, steel, and water attacks. With a max CP of 1215, it is worth spending your hard-earned candies to evolve your Piplup. Pilpup’s best attacks are called the pound, and drill peck and its attacks are amplified in rain. This Pokemon also has a shiny version which is similar to the normal one in stats but has significant cosmetic differences that make it highly sought after.
As far as the evolution levels are concerned Piplup can evolve to Prinplup at level 16 and then further evolve to its peak form called Empoleon at level 36. Piplup evolution also alters its type and it reaches its max CP of 1215 at level 50. So you will have to enter a lot of gym battles and capture plenty of Piplups in order to get enough Stardust and Piplup Candy to level up your Pokemon.
Part 2: How Do I Evolve Piplup in Pokemon Go?
As mentioned earlier you need Piplup-specific candy and stardust to evolve your Piplup. Keep in mind that you can’t just buy candies or stardust in Pokemon Go and you have to acquire them by catching lots of Pokemon. That means you have to do a lot of walking to make sure you have enough of these two materials to evolve your Piplup.
- First, you have to use Stardust to level up your Piplup to level 16 and then use 25 Candy to evolve it into Prinpulp.
- For the second and final evolution, you will need to level up your Piplup to level 36 and then use 100 Candy to evolve it to Empolon.
So in short Piplup evolution is a multi-step process where you have to collect candy and stardust before you are ready to evolve it. Luckily stardust in Pokemon Go is universal which means you don’t need to collect a specific type of stardust to evolve each type of Pokemon. So if you have collected enough stardust all you need to do is collect enough candy to start Piplup evolution.
Part 3: How to Catch Piplup in Pokemon Go?
Before you begin Piplup evolution you have to catch it and as mentioned earlier Piplups only spawn at specific locations on the map. Here are the two methods that you can use to catch Piplup in Pokemon Go:
Method 1. Near water bodies (Rivers, lakes, and beaches)
Being a water-type Pokemon Piplup lives in or near water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and beaches. So it is no surprise that you have the best chance of finding and catching a Piplup if you look for them near water. There are certain events and spotlight hours in Pokemon Go that increase the spawn rate of a Piplup and you have a higher chance of finding them while these events are active.
Once you find a Piplup you will have to use either Great Balls or Ultra Balls to capture it. You can catch duplicate Piplups using this method to increase the amount of candy you obtain for Piplup evolution.
Method 2. Hatch Piplup from 5 km Eggs
You have a chance of hatching Piplup from 5 km eggs as well. The more 5 km eggs you hatch the higher your chances of hatching a Piplup.
How to catch Piplup faster?
Whether you are trying to find a Piplup in the wild or want to hatch it from a 5km egg you have to walk long distances which takes a lot of time. Not to mention you may have to catch multiple Piplups in order to gather enough candy to Pokemon Piplup evolve.
