Read more ↓Empoleon is a dual-type Water/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It is the final evolution of Piplup, evolving from Prinplup starting at level 36. Empoleon is known for its regal appearance, resembling an emperor penguin with large, trident-like horns on its head and sharp, metallic wings. These wings can cut through ice floes, giving it a formidable presence in its natural habitat, which typically includes colder, coastal regions. Empoleon is depicted as a proud and powerful Pokémon, often leading its colonies with dignity. In the games, it is the signature Pokémon of Barry, one of the player's rivals in the Sinnoh region, and it has played significant roles in the Pokémon anime, often showcasing its mastery over water and steel attacks. Its unique type combination gives it a distinct set of resistances and weaknesses, making it a strategic choice for many trainers. Empoleon's design draws heavily from imperial and aquatic themes, embodying both elegance and strength.
