Why is Pode not in the conjugation table for Poder?

[Mallowigi]

What do you mean? Pode is the third singular person of poder...

Sorry! There was dust on my screen and it looked like it said Poda in the conjugation table instead of Pode. Better wipe down my computer!

What is the difference between using "pode" and "poderia" in this case? using the basic sense of "poder" (to be able) in the present seems much simpler than using the conditional, but I'm just curious which is more common? In english, it would be very strange to say "it can rain today" (and "might" isn't really the same as "poder")
