Generation VII
This Pokémon snorts body fluids from its nose, blowing balloons to smash into its foes. It’s famous for being a hard worker.
This Pokémon can control water bubbles. It practices diligently so it can learn to make big bubbles.
The balloons it inflates with its nose grow larger and larger as it practices day by day.
Popplio gets on top of its bouncy water balloons to jump higher. It’s quite the acrobatic fighter!
Generation VIII
It creates special bouncy balloons to send at its opponents. When the balloons pop, the sheer force of their bursting is what deals damage.
If Popplio want to create big, powerful balloons, they must be persistent. It takes daily practice for these Pokémon to develop their skills.
