Popplio (Japanese: アシマリ, Hepburn: Ashimari) is a Water-type Pokémon. It is one of the three Starter Pokémon of the Alola region, the other two being Litten and Rowlet.

Biology

Physiology

Popplio is a blue sea lion Pokémon. It has large eyes, a long white snout with a pink round nose and black whiskers. It has two ears on each side of its head. Around its neck is a light blue ruff collar which extends out past its shoulders. It has four flippers which are the large ones with white markings isolating its toes and the small rear ones. It also loves to blow bubbles and bounce them around.

Behavior

Popplio will frequently work on blowing bubbles and try to get them larger than their bodies. Instead of walking, Popplio will generate and use their bubbles as a springboard, popping as they leap on top of them in order to get a bounce out of them as they pop, in turn allowing them to perform acrobatic stunts in their leaps to please those they enjoy playing with.

Natural abilities

It can blow out many balloons with its nose. It can swim at 25 mph (40 km/h).

Evolution

Popplio evolves into Brionne at level 17 and then Primarina at level 34.

Lana's Popplio

Popplio first appeared in Alola to New Adventure! under the ownership of Lana, later evolves into Brionne in Evolving Research! and into Primarina in The One that Didn't Get Away!.

Trivia

• Popplio when standing on its fins bears some resemblance to the alchemic symbol of mercury (representing Water).
• Popplio, Seel & Dewgong all share the same species; they're all known as the Sea Lion Pokémon.

Origin

Popplio is a combination of the classical depictions of a performing sea lion and a circus clown, with the collar around its neck, white face, and nose resembling a clown nose. It could also be a reference to the Hawaiian monk seal.

Etymology

Popplio is a combination of pop (as in popping bubbles) and lio, the first three letters of lion in sea lion. It might also use "ilio-holo-i-ka-uaua" which is a species of Hawaiian monk seal. It might also come from pōpō, Hawaiian for ball (seeing how Popplio balances bubbles on its nose like a circus seal would do to a ball). It may also come from Popee the Performer, an obscure CGI anime centering around an aspiring clown.
