PiplupBrawl — Piplup's artwork from *Super Smash Bros. Brawl*.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii, Piplup was a Pokémon that could be released from a Pokéball. Once released, it would use Surf to knock players off of the stage. It's not as dramatic as other attacks can be, though it can cause players to get KO'ed if they're not careful and don't recover to get back onto the stage. Piplup also appears as a trophy and a sticker.
