The Popplio community day on Pokemon Go is going live globally and will run from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. During the community day event, players will be able to encounter a shiny Popplio in the wild. Also, evolving Brionne to Primarina during the event will result in Primarina learning the exclusive move, Hydro Cannon.
