Pokemon Piplup is getting swole in an deep new partnership with Gold's Gym.

Over on the official Japanese Pokemon YouTube channel, a inexperient video shows Piplup trying their best to figure out call at a Gold's Gym in Japanese Archipelago. The video begins with an atmospheric gib of the gym in black and white, complete with an improbably built guy pumping iron, only for Piplup to make a important entrance sprinting across the workout area.

Look, they might not have a good deal to give, but by god if they aren't trying their best. The rest of the video boasts Piplup being put through the ringer by a subjective flight simulator at Gold's Gymnasium, competing in a contest of squats, lunges, and other exercises. Recovered, saying "put through the dead ringer" is belik a freehanded generous, because the trainer is the only one doing anything in the video (sorry, Piplup).

However, this isn't the end of Piplup's intriguing fitness journey. Apparently, extra videos of Piplup workings out to get swole will be debuting happening the Japanese Pokemon YouTube channel end-to-end the rest of the week, so we'll be able to check the further adventures of Piplup looking incredibly out of place at some point soon.

We Don't actually know what this whole endeavour is in packaging of, but Pokemon Legends Arceus is right around the corner. The new game launches later this month on January 28 for Nintendo Switch, taking players on a brand name new action mechanism-jam-packed adventure in the feudal Sinnoh region with a wholly revamped gameplay style. WHO knows, perhaps we'll encounter an incredibly jacked Piplup somewhere in Hisui.
