Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Sun | This Pokémon snorts body fluids from its nose, blowing balloons to smash into its foes. It’s famous for being a hard worker. |
| Moon | This Pokémon can control water bubbles. It practices diligently so it can learn to make big bubbles. |
| Ultra Sun | The balloons it inflates with its nose grow larger and larger as it practices day by day. |
| Ultra Moon | Popplio gets on top of its bouncy water balloons to jump higher. It’s quite the acrobatic fighter! |

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
