How it forages

Piplups are expert divers, using their powerful flippers to 'fly' through the water in pursuit of prey. Their diet consists mainly of small fish (e.g., krill, anchovies, sardines), squid, and crustaceans. They can hold their breath for several minutes and dive to considerable depths.

When it feeds

Diurnal. They are active during daylight hours, foraging in the ocean and returning to land to rest or breed.
