The cute, penguin-like Piplup is a popular choice of Starter for many Trainers tackling the Sinnoh Region, as its Water typing gives it an advantage over many of the region's Gyms. Its evolved forms, Prinplup and Empoleon, likewise maintain a strong presence in battles.
As revealed by Serebii, Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl players can get their hands on Dawn's Piplup - but only those in South Korea will have a chance to obtain the Starter for themselves. The distribution event is in honor of South Korea now seeing the release of Giratina The Sky Warrior, the eleventh Pokémon movie. Giratina The Sky Warrior was originally released in 2008, meaning that South Korean audiences have been waiting 14 years for this theatrical debut. The special Piplup will be available to download for both Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, but will have different movesets for each game. With Dawn being the anime equivalent of Diamond and Pearl's female protagonist, this Piplup is sure to be a perfect Pokémon companion for any BDSP player's journey.
However, unlike most distribution events, where players can usually obtain their gift items or Pokémon for free, this Pokémon event requires fans to pay for the opportunity. According to Serebii, fans will have to pay 35,000 Won (about $27) at the Pokémon Store Online in order to receive a redeemable download code, and can even obtain two codes at the slightly discounted rate of 60,000 Won (about $47). This might be a high price to pay for some, but avid collectors of Pokémon and their event-specific variants may still find it to be worth the cost. And it should be noted that this is not the most expensive Piplup out there in any case; Pokémon Center's giant Piplup plush costs a similarly enormous $350.
Where to use the Pokemon BDSP Member Card
After you get your Member Card, you need to go to Canalave City. Here, look for the blue-roofed house due north of the Pokémon Center. Then you can go in and the NPC will talk to you and say they have booked you for a long time. He will then guide you to bed and you will wake up on Newmoon Island. Follow the path and interact with Darkrai before you can fight and catch this legendary Pokemon. PKMBuy has Cheap BDSP Pokemon for sale.
Darkrai is a level 50 Dark-type Pokémon.
