Appearance of Emploeon

Empoleon is a large, penguin-like Pokemon. The primary color for it is navy blue. It has a wide, yellow beak that extends upwards and forms a trident with three pointed horns. It has a sort of blue, crown-like shape above its eyes. It has a blue-collar that runs around its neck and down its midsection. It has wide arms that are much like flippers and webbed feet.

Behavior of Empoleon

Empoleon is an incredibly proud Pokemon. This Pokemon is said to use its massive arms as a weapon on anyone who hurts its pride. The edge of these wings slices through ice, so hurting its pride is a dangerous idea.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Empoleon is strong against Poison, Steel, Ice, Water, Rock, Dragon, Normal, Bug, Fairy, Flying, and Psychic types. Empoleon takes no damage from Poison-types, half the damage from Water, Rock, Dragon, Normal, Bug, Fairy, Flying, and Psychic types, and a quarter the damage from Steel and Ice types. Empoleon is weak against Electric, Fighting and Ground-type Pokemon. These all do twice the damage to Empoleon. Empoleon’s strengths far outweigh its weaknesses, making it a good choice for most battles.

Mega Empoleon

Mega Empoleon has a different color scheme and features than the standard Empoleon. Mega Empoleon’s main color is red, with some yellow. It has a shiny counterpart, but Mega Empoleon is rare enough. It is stronger and has more pronounced features. The collar is more pronounced and red. Its wings have sharper edges and its feet aren’t webbed. This form is arguably more fearsome than the original Empoleon.

How to catch Empoleon in Pokemon Go?

Empoleon can be found in canals, docks, lakes, oceans, streams, oceans, industrial areas and cities. Since this is the fully evolved form of Piplup, it is pretty rare and difficult to catch. The previous evolutionary stage, Prinplup, can be found in similar areas and reservoirs. The starter form, Piplup, can be found in harbors, rivers and wetlands. None of these can be hatched from eggs, making these fairly difficult to come by. Walking with a Piplup as your buddy is likely the best way to go about this, as earning candy for it is easier than finding them in the wild.
