We don't know that for sure because it was only discovered in 1930, but it has a reasonably stable orbit of 248 years. It has probably been doing that for a billion years.
I think the answer is: No.
Pluto has not been classed as a planet since 2006. It was discovered in 1930.
So, it only orbited "as a planet" for about 76 years. That's a lot less than it's orbital period of 248 years.
It's a bit of a "trick question", but I think that's the required answer.
While Pluto was discovered in 1930 and was considered fully a planet for 76 years, and it takes 248 years for it to complete one revolution, it did not complete one full revolution in the time those on Earth have known of it. But, Pluto has existed for about four and a half billion years, and in that time can be expected to have completed 18,145,161.3 orbits of Sol.
The planet Neptune has not completed a full orbit since its discovery in 1846. It takes Neptune approximately 165 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun, so it has only completed a fraction of its first orbit since its discovery.
Charon takes around 6.4 Earth days to complete one orbit around Pluto. It is tidally locked with Pluto, meaning that one side always faces the planet.
To witness one complete revolution of the planet Pluto, you would have to be at least 248 years old.

Neptune (the eighth and outermost planet) was discovered on September 23, 1846. It takes 164.79 Earth years to complete one orbit and will therefore only complete its first orbit since its discovery in 2011. It is also worth noting that while Pluto is not longer regarded as a planet (it is now a minor planet) it was discovered in 1930 and takes 248.09 Earth years to complete an orbit.
Charon takes around 6.4 Earth days to complete one orbit around Pluto. It is tidally locked with Pluto, meaning that one side always faces the planet.

Pluto's month, defined as the time it takes for the dwarf planet to complete one orbit around the sun, is about 248 Earth years. This means that it takes that long for Pluto to complete a full cycle of seasons.
248 years. Since its discovery in 1930, Pluto has only completed a little less than 1/3rd of a complete revolution.
Pluto, the dwarf planet, is the smallest planet in our solar system. In 2006 scientists confirmed that Pluto was a dwarf planet. They confirmed this because Pluto does not have a clear orbit around the sun. The things that a planet must have in order to be a planet is that it MUST have a clear orbit around a star. FUN FACT: Pluto's moon is almost as big as itself! Pluto is the coldest planet in our solar planet. Pluto is an outer planet.
If you still consider Pluto to be a planet, then the answer is Pluto, which completes one revolution around the sun in 248 years. If you agree with the downgrading of Pluto to something less than a full-fledged planet, then the answer is Neptune. The general rule is: The farther a planet is from the sun on the average, the longer it takes to complete its orbital revolution.
