A new Pokémon from Sun and Moon was announced during Thursday’s Gamescom and boy, is it a doozy!
Turtonator
Category: Blast Turtle Pokémon
Type: Fire/Dragon
Ability: Shell Armor
Height: 6’07”
Weight: 467.4 lbs.
Turtonator live on volcanoes where they feed on sulfur, giving their shells a layer of explosive material. When other Pokémon attack Turtonator sparks fly from their shells, igniting explosions! These blasts are released through an orifice located on the middle of their fronts, serving as a weak point.
Pokemon.com describes how Turtonator hunt.
In areas around volcanic craters, this Pokémon camouflages itself as a rock and waits for prey. At the moment when its prey steps onto the back of its shell, Turtonator strikes its shell with its own tail, triggering an explosion!
Turtonator learns a new move that is exclusive to it. Shell Trap allows Turtonator to set a trap at the beginning of a turn. If it’s attacked with a physical attack within the same turn an explosion takes place, dealing much more damage to the opponent.
