Prinplup live by themselves in their own "colony", as each considers itself to be the most important. In the anime, it is owned by Kenny, Dawn's rival. It is known to have a very proud personality.

On Prinplup's head is a yellow crown that lies above the eyes. Prinplup's torso is a light blue with four white spots, two on each side. The feet of Prinplup are more webbed than Piplup's and are yellow. It's fins are tipped with light blue. It also has a dark blue tail in the shape of a fin.
