Every Piplup card

The short version

Piplup has five printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across four expansions — the earliest in Space-Time Smackdown and the most recent in Promo A. It is a Basic Water-type Pokémon with 60 HP, weak to Lightning, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to two rarities — three Commons and two Art Rares. The hardest to pull is the Art Rare from Everyday Wonders, at about 1 in 62 packs, or 400 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 142 packs, which is about 2 months at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of the Everyday Wonders, Mega Shine and Palkia packs. The most recent is Piplup #034, from an expansion that shipped in October 2024. That printing attacks with Nap. The card’s own words: “It doesn’t like to be taken care of. It’s difficult to bond with since it won’t listen to its Trainer.” It has been drawn by five artists.
