Where to find Popplio in the wild

Location	Method / conditions	Level	Chance
Pal Park, Fixed Catch mode: Thursday	Grass/cave, any time	20	1%
Route 32	Grass/cave, night	4	1%

Pal Park: The wild table changes with the day of the week (by the DS clock). You get in through the Catching Show's Fixed Catch mode at the Pal Park reception ($10,000; bring your own Poké Balls). Sunday's table is the same as Cerulean Cave's, probably by mistake in the hack, so it also has Surf and fishing slots: the park has a pond and a stretch of sea.

Evolution

Evolves into Brionne at Lv 17.
