Empoleon (Japanese: エンペルト Emperte) is a Water/Steel-type Pokémon.

Empoleon comes with the ability Torrent, which increases the power of Water-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Empoleon evolves from Prinplup starting at level 36.

Biology

Physiology

Empoleon is a large penguin-like Pokémon. In terms of color, Empoleon has a closer resemblance to a "real-world" penguin than it's pre-evolved forms have because Empoleon is mostly black as opposed to being blue. Empoleon's feet actually appear to have webbing on them. Empoleon's wings are tipped with blue metal and have three golden claws sticking out at the bottom. Empoleon has a short, blue, metal "fin" sticking out of it's back and another "fin" that's on the front of it's body that extends to where its chin would be an then splits to form some sort of collar. Empoleon has two gold-colored spots on its upper-back. Empoleon's most prominent feature is the three-horned triton-like crest that extends from its beak. This crest represents an Empoleon's power and the leader of a colony of Empoleon, Prinplup, and Piplup will have the largest horns.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Empoleon can learn any attack that it's pre-evolutions can learn, but Empoleon's attacks are stronger. As a fully-evolved Pokémon (and the final evolution of a Water-typed starter Pokémon), Empoleon can learn Hyper Beam, Giga Impact and Hydro Cannon.

Habitat

Wild Empoleon live near glaciers in cold climates.
