Meet Turtonator!

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?

  1. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. That Pokemon could’ve been a perfect Team Flare Pokemon. Imagine Lysandre with a Turtonator. Match made in heaven right there.

  5. 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.
