The table above provides information on different moves Popplio has in Pokémon GO, along with their corresponding DPS (Damage per Second) and TDO (Total Damage Output).

      Recommended moves

      ⚔️ Raids

      Popplio is the first stage of the Water-type starter from Alola. Needless to say, Popplio isn’t close to reaching the full potential of its evolution line and should not be used as a raid attacker.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Popplio’s max CP and base stats are too low for any of the main metas. It also does not perform particularly well in the 500 CP Little Cup, as Popplio is too frail, with a base stat total far lower than the Pokémon that typically excel in that league.
