Popplio (Japanese: アシマリ Ashimari) is a Water-type Pokémon.

It is currently not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with Rowlet and Litten, Popplio is one of three starter Pokémon of Alola available at the beginning of Pokémon Sun and Moon.

Biology

Popplio is a pinniped Pokémon that is primarily blue. It has large eyes, a long, white snout with black whiskers, and round, pink nose. There is a small, rounded earflap on each side of its head. Around its neck is a light blue ruff, which extends past its shoulders. It has four flippers. The front flippers are larger than the hind, and have white markings separating its toes. Popplio is able to snort bubbles of water from its nose, which it uses as part of its battle strategy. ^[1]

Trivia

Origin

Popplio is based on the Hawaiian Monk Seal.

Name origin

Popplio's name seems to be a combination of pop and lio from Ilio-holo-i-ka-uaua the Hawaiian name for the Hawaiian Monk Seal, meaning "dog that runs in rough water".

Ashimari may be a combination of 海驢 ashika (sea lion) and 鞠 mari (ball).
