How Do You Get and Catch a Piplup SP in the Pokemon Soul Silver Game?

Piplup is a Water-type Pokemon in Nintendo's "Pokemon" video game series. Piplup does not occur in the wild in "Pokemon SoulSilver," but you can get it by trading it across from "Pokemon Diamond" or "Pearl," where it is a starter Pokemon. You can trade between these games as soon as you have a Pokedex and at least two Pokemon, making it easy to start a new game of "Diamond" or "Pearl" and immediately trade Piplup across.
