Turtonator has just been revealed during the Nintendo House Party segment at Gamescom 2016. The new Pokémon is Fire/Dragon-type and has the ability Shell Armor. Turtonator can also use a new move called Shell Trap
Shell Trap is exclusive to Turtonator and allows it to set a trap at the beginning of a turn, and if Turtonator is hit by a physical attack during the turn, Shell Trap will trigger an explosion that will deal huge damage to the opponent.
What do you think of Turtonator? Cool or not?










That Pokemon is really.. edgy
Still no ice or dark type original pokemon.
Neat! Love it. looks powerful.
That turtle looks awesome!
Fugly as trash
Mata Mata Turtle?
“…beginning of a turd” ?
New move “Crap Trap” confirmed! XD lol
Turdonator!
Disgusting
Well at least I can use Reshiram-like type in OU fights now.
Because Turtonator lives on volcanoes, feeding on sulfur and other materials found near volcanic craters, its shell has a layer of explosive material—mostly sulfur. When something strikes this Pokémon, sparks fly from the horns on its shell, igniting an explosion!
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!
The explosive blasts triggered from Turtonator’s back are released through an orifice located on the middle front of the Pokémon’s body. This is Turtonator’s weak point. Attacks landing on its stomach will cause it a great deal of damage.
Shell Trap is a move that only Turtonator is able to learn. With this move, the Pokémon can set a trap at the beginning of the turn, and if Turtonator is hit by an opponent’s physical attack during that turn, Shell Trap triggers an explosion that will deal much greater damage to the opponent.
thanks for this dude! 🙂

I like this Pokemon I think it looks like a snapping turtle but with a cool design…
epic pokemon!! watched this on livestream, and everything about it looks incredible! great typing, great ability, anf the new move shell trap is powerful!! LOVED everything about it! Tortonator is going on my freakin team D
I’m not really feeling it.
It’s got aspects of good, but it doesn’t feel quite right.
I think it’s pretty cool 🙂
I like it a lot. The only thing I hate is it’s mouth (TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT SNOUT). Could be worse. Could look like Drampa. I’ll probably use this on my team and I don’t even plan teams. That’s how much I like it. LOOK AT IT It’s going to be so defensive!
Well it’s like a reverse bastiodon… or a mawile with a shield instead of a mouth…
DRAMPA IS AWESOME!
Drampa is the worst design yet.
well, id have to say that the worst (in my opinion at least) is bruxish, but hey we can have different opinions.
Bruxish is a beautiful angel
I have mixed feelings about Bruxish but Drampa doesn’t even look like it belongs in the Pokémon world
a kid in middle school told me i didn’t belong in this world
You spelled Bewear wrong. Also how dare you make of the snout! Turt is gonna noot noot some punks!
Yeah, that is true about opinions, since Bruxish is my favorite so far HEH HEH HEH.
The difference is Bruxish is meant to look weird
TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT SNOUT
I read that in the Voice it belongs to xD
moving, the typo’s bro. lol, it sets up a shell trap at the beginning of a turd.
Don’t you love turds?
TORDOISES
depends on the context
Well, this Pokémon sets a trap at the start of a turd.
Aww you wrote it earlier xD
maybe it gets startled when its doing its number 2?
I wanna see his front tho
is he squishy lol
Hold on. Ill post a picture
You do.
Apparently, there’s a hole in front
Here (refresh)
ik i didnt realize it was in the trailer. maybe its like iron man 😮
We’ll see more in the Japanese trailer because in that they show it off as owned by the trainer.
I know it’s a Typo but still I couldn’t stop laughing about it xD
‘Cause every turd is a Trap 😀
you guys think its a typo, but its really what moving meant 😉
I love it
Kriffix has spoken. We love it too because you love it 🙂
Same here
SM dex entry really have mature concept and better than previous gen. http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/turtonator/
Well SM on itself is also a short version for a mature thing ^^”
You mean… S&M!
(Don’t google that, any kids that may be looking.)
What do you mean? Because they used the word “orifice”?
Probably cuz of the prey and explosion thing
And the sulfur stuff
So they actually mentioned predation eh?
Well Yungoos also had that. First gen ever with confirmed pokemon eat each other?
Im pretty sure Fearow or one of the gen 1 pokes talked about predation.
Pigeot, pokemon Red: “When hunting, it skims the surface of water at high speed to pick off unwary prey such as Magikarp.”
I said mature concept ……I didn’t hint any sexual stuff.
True.
Orifice literally just means “hole” though. Any extra meaning is connotation. <3
I mean i think these will be sorta different from the actual dex
That Pokemon could’ve been a perfect Team Flare Pokemon. Imagine Lysandre with a Turtonator. Match made in heaven right there.
I feel like this could be on Ash’s team in the Alola region. I believe he has used a turtle Pokemon on his team each time there was one (3 times) except for the Carracosta line-but that was a fossil Pokemon.
Cool!!! Mata mata
Anyone see how bulky Komala is?
yupe …..I am afraid it don’t have an evloution ……but mentioning its parents in dex entry …..that could a hint for an evolution.
I was thinking of a cross evolution
Been on my list for weeks.
Wake up and smell the Eucalyptus.
