Overview

Once Prinplup evolve, they retain their prideful personalities as Empoleon; trainers who have raised them from Piplup will have finally earned their respect and loyalty. Traded or wild-caught Empoleon, on the other hand, are notoriously difficult to train due to their pride. Empoleon live in small groups. While each member retains its own individuality and sense of self-worth, they have learned that teamwork in hunting yields far superior results when compared to solitary attempts. The Empoleon with the largest horns on their heads are the leaders of the groups. Empoleon can swim as fast as a jet boat, using their steel-hard wings to slice through ice floes. They are too proud to involve themselves in petty disputes, instead appearing aloof in most conflicts; however, they will viciously attack anyone that hurts their pride with the powerful Hydro Pump or devastating slashes with their wings. Though known for the hard work it takes to train one, their strength and willpower have made Empoleon mainstays for Sinnoh trainers able to handle the challenge.
