Popplio

Popplio, also known as Ashimari, is a character from the Pokemon series.
== Charactah Account ==
Alola's Water-type Starter, Popplio is a Water-type sea lion. It uses the water from its nose to attack.
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.
These Pokémon are also playful when not practicing; they love to perform acrobatic tricks with their bubbles in front of others, which also serve as trial runs for new strategies in battle. After gaining height by bouncing on these bubbles, they can attack opponents from the air in highly technical maneuvers. They can also pop their bubbles to damage foes with surprising force. Because of their dedication, playfulness, and acrobatic capabilities in battle, Popplio make an excellent choice of starter Pokémon for any Alolan trainer.

== Trivia ==
* Popplio, Seel & Dewgong all share the same species; they're all known as the Sea Lion Pokémon.
* Popplio and its evolutions are the first (and so far only) First partner Pokémon with Body Shape 3.
* Popplio is the only Alola starter that follows the usual traditional formula of having the highest base stat in its pre-evolved state correspond to the highest base stat in its fully evolved state.
** Rowlet's highest base stat is its HP stat of 68, but Decidueye has only an average HP stat due to undergoing the smallest increase in HP of all starter Pokémon lines.
** Litten's highest base stat is its Speed stat of 70, but actually becomes slower upon reaching its final form. Incineroar has a base Speed stat of 60, a net loss of 10 points in Speed.
** This leaves Popplio as the only Alola starter that does not deviate from the norm. Popplio's highest base stat is its Special Attack stat of 66, and Primarina's highest stat is also its Special Attack stat. At 126, it is the highest Special Attack stat of all fully evolved starter Pokémon, as well as the highest single stat of any fully evolved starter Pokémon, surpassing Rillaboom's base Attack stat by one point (126 compared to 125).
* Popplio is the only Alola starter not caught by Ash.
