    I understand that Dawn dedicates her Pokemon training for contests, so her Pokemon might not grow stronger that fast. However, Dawn has had Piplup since the first season of the Diamond & Pearl series. Why hasn't it evolved yet? Dawn's Swinub is already a Mamoswine. Same goes for Buneary, actually. It hasn't evolved yet either. I guess Dawn doesn't spend too much time raising them. What do you think?

    Well, the reason for that is because Piplup refused to evolve. There was an episode dedicated to Piplup's evolution and his resistence towards it. He eventually took a stone which stopped him evolving for good.

    Piplup, as said, refused to evolve and got an Everstone so that's why it didn't evolve.

    I believe Buneary hasn't evolved because it has a role as liking Ash's Pikachu which would be weird if it turned into a Lopunny. It's also a sort of Dawn's icon Pokemon, or at least in my opinion it is.

    Well, Pipulp's not the only one of Dawn's Pokemon that hasn't evolved. Why? Cuz they don't want to???

    With Kenny and Barry already having evolved forms of Piplup... do we really want 3 Prinplups/Empoleons running around?

    But yeah, Piplup's holding an Everstone. This is also discussed in the episode:
    "Stopped in the Name of Love".

    Is this really a serious question? Dawn's Piplup hasn't evolve becoz it's holding an everstone

    I started this discussion because I hadn't seen the episode where Piplup refused to evolve. Now I know, and the fact that Piplup is holding an everstone has already been established.
