How to Evolve Piplup in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Piplup is the Water-type starter of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, as well as of the Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearls remakes, but in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it is just one more Pokémon that can be found roaming around the Hisui region, waiting only for you to catch it.

Unlike other Pokémon which require specific items or procedures to evolve, Piplup can evolve in Pokémon Legends: Arceus by simply reaching the required levels. Once at Level 16, Piplup will evolve into Prinplup. Prinplup will then evolve into Empoleon after reaching Level 36. To make the Pokémon evolve, all you need to do is let it evolve from the main menu.
