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?
Idk if this has been suggested, but here we go: So guys, what if the reason Eevee’s lack of new Eeveelutions was revealed so early… because its Eeveelutions have Alola Forms and they wanted us to stop thinking about Eevee by making us disinterested early on? <.<
Nobody even cares about Eevee.
Pssh, a lot of people were hoping for a new eeveelution until the Alola pokedex showed that it wouldn’t have one.
I’ve been wanting Mata Mata forever. This is Amazing!
The shell on it’s back kinda makes me think of fruit (I’d say dragon fruit but there’s only a bit of similarity there). I mean it does look like a comic explosion with shrapnel flying out which I guess is cool
At least that previous “leak” has been debunked
Have to say, I find it funny how “leaks” on 4chan implement some of the Chinese Leakers stuff (mainly the cat who’s secondary typing changes when bred)
Why is the previous leak debunked? It didn’t mention anything related to this.
Did it not say that Rainbow Greninja would be shown? Or am I just very tired and that was gonna be revealed on another date?
I thought it said it would be revealed at world’s
Whoops my bad clearly very tired
The 21st I think
The turtle actually reminds me of one of those Japanese monsters that fight Godzilla
Are you talking about Gamora? o.o… Welp, got my nickname for it xP
MoistRowlett. Everything is MoistRowlett.
and it coudn’t be as moist as this…

It won’t let me see it due to content filter. And I don’t think I want to see it either.
It’s a female Robinhoot having a shower
Oh. O_0
It’s Gamera
Right right, thanks. My name was the Guardians of the Galaxy chick xD
like all pokemon are based on godzilla monster. In fact! all Pokemon movies were made by Toho, the very same company that made the Godzilla movies.
So I’ve decided that these factors decide whether it is on my team or not:
1. How late in the game you get it (or a supposed prevo)
2. Whether Salandit has a cool evo (or one at all)
3. If something better gets revealed, but that was an obvious one.
———————————
On a side note, I can’t wait to shell trap sweepers. Wait, as I was typing that, I realized that this thing will probably be really slow, so shell trap is next to useless.
Maybe Shell Trap stays until something hits you?
Naw, it’s a one-turn move. But maybe it’s priority like protect.
It’s gotta be otherwise it’s useless.
Wait is it just spiky sheild?
Well it’d just be a better spiky shield then.
Unless it does fire damage.
Probably more like a priority Counter, but with fire… And probably not double the damage or else OP
That’d be sweet, but OP. That’d force them to switch into a special Pokemon, which is like a free turn.
Quick Claw Turtonator. Too OP
I keep pronouncing it Tur-tuna-tor. Watching the German trailer first messed me up. I don’t want to think of a fish when I see this thing.
Now I can’t stop pronouncing it Tuna…
We need therapy.
Yeah. Therapy won’t help….
I just think terminator but turtle, even though is turtle + detonator.
Just think of a something created by Dr. D that makes poop. The TURDINATOR!
At first, Turtonator, I hated. But now of course, it grows on me. Apparently it’s based on the mata mata Turtle and a snapping turtle. We have another new Fire type to the cast of Alola introduced Pokemon. And another Dragon type. I have a feeling this guy will get a pre-evo because of his appearance, like the Mudsdale family. Most Pokemon that look this powerful, usually do. I’ll be interested to see what it looks like if so. I have a feeling it’ll stand on four legs or something. Idk. I just get the feeling.
Something small where its shell takes up most of its appearance.
I can see the pre-evo being based on a small snapping turtle and the mata mata and kinda being based on a land mine. o.O
It is my Third favorite Popplio and Komala can’t be replaced!
I have to admit. I’m stuck between Salandit and Turtonator as my Fire type choices. I’m gonna wait and see to what Salandit evolves into because I have a feeling it will evolve at least once. And of course, if there are other Fire types down the line that I like even more. Have to admit. We have a very diverse cast of Alola characters here and it’s growing. August has been a great month for Pokemon news!
Me too this is the first region I’m loving all fire types yet Popplio out matched them all
Popplio, I don’t care how many manily points I lose, I love the final evolution so much!
I hope it has typing
Water or Water/Psychic cause if it’s water/Fairy it’s gonna be another Azumarril
The only way Shell Trap is a good move is if it gets Priority.
It’s interesting cos if it does, we now have 2 Pokemon that can potentially counter sweepers that have already set up. Pyukumuku and Turtonator.
Am I the only one who thought he is the Terminator of Pokemon?
nope
is that mean it;s very op …..could be pseudo legendary?
Right!
I hope it gets an evolution, called Turtonator 2: Judgement Day
Turtonator’s pre evo (rf)
http://img03.deviantart.net/d7bc/i/2012/217/3/8/mine_turtle____by_stampersmedia-d59y8ik.jpg
I can see the pre-evo being pure Fire type and having it’s shell take up most of it’s body and being based on a land mine. o.O
Yes it’s Mine Turtle!
well guys,looks like all we have to do is wait until the 21st and see what we’re going to get in Pokemon Sun and Moon next.
or not
What?
From the rumors said something about on the 21st.
What happens on the 21st?
The rumors.
Oh i thought those were confirmed fake xD
i will wait and see what happens on the 21st. 🙂
it IS fake, plain and simple You can tell from the way it’s written.
Well im certainly quite happy with this awesome beast of a pokemon!
How does this line up with the “leaked” info?
Also it should’ve been named Tortonator instead of Turtonator. Turtles are water, torts are land
Oh wow I forgot about that! Somebody check for mine turtle!
I don’t think they mentioned anything relating to Turtle Terminator
Turtle Detonator?
We already have a Fire Tortoise in Torkoal. Turtle doesn’t get used much.
What leaked info? What I missed?
Endive is that u
Welcome to the jungle! 🙂
hello and welcome.
LIVE: Nintendo @ gamescom 2016 Pokemon Sun and Moon, Turtonator Revealed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuHxM3pgIfU
Are you really advertising your channel here. There is no need of that.
even tho there is no victory road this time around Turtonator looks like a mon that will appear real late in the game like victory road mons do. possibly during the last of the trails or before encountering the legend
perhaps near the volcano on the top N/E island or maybe in the black shoal type area on the bottom S/W island
hm since we start off in the 2nd island on the map the order could be very odd who knows
opps wrong pic, imma try again
I figured this would be the order personally
but the last two I’m not sure, you could end up going to the man made one before the final real one where you get the legends
hm makes sense that big one is the 3rd it makes so the middle of the game is long, we already know that the 4 captains are for the second island it looks like.
kwekie or however you spell it definitely is
ill show u where the others are
even tho this seems right i think Lana is more towards the weird water area
https://i.redd.it/eid7u5xyf1dx.png
Why is sophocles on the battle royale arena and the water girl on the hotel? xD i see sophocles as being on the power plant in the south eastern island and the water girl being around the springs in this island but who knows
maybe Sphocles created the battle royale?
I think Luna is actual in the area with the numerous waterfall, circle pool place.
I think they just meant in that general area
makes sense, I thought Sophocles would be up at the observatory near the ice mountains myself but I cant argue with this map
My last anime-related comment: Someone just reminded me that 2016 is the games’s 20th anniversary, and not the anime’s. Indigo arc started in 1997, which makes 2017 the anime’s 20th anniversary. Let the speculation commense!
Mewtwo will come back and realize he was right to kill ash the first time and finish the job.
jk
not really though
That scene legit made me cry, like I was actually devastated.
I was only sad that pikachu was sad, much like when they broke his ketchup bottle
This looks Exactly like the “ugly” Fakemon YouTubers use in their thumbnails to somehow attract people in to watching.
Like who Ok’d this!?
It’s hideous… And boring looking TO ME.
Unless it’s stats are amazing.. it guaranteed won’t be seen on the Battle field for long.
They’re getting loose with the Dragon typing as well.. .
You don’t have to like every Pokemon, but I think this one is alright. It’s a mash between a kappa and a turtle. It’s an interesting Pokemon to say the least. Also, I love the more neat Dragon-Types were getting. Alolan Exeggutor is best!
Errr…that comment about the battle field applies to all Pokemon. Not specific to this one. At least this one could possible have a niche with Shell Trap.
Also I think it’s fine, and I’m happy they’re branching out from the generic dragons. Can’t have all of them look exactly the same.
Its hideous
Ok
I really like what they’re doing with the dragon type. Now we can have cool dragon types without being repetive.
GameXplain might be on to something as they explained Z-Moves. They stated that Z-Moves might be based on the power of moves and whether their special or physical. So, since Pikachu used a Normal-Type Z-Move, which was obviously physical, it was based on a physical attack. Yet, I think there might be two types of Z-Moves based on physical and special moves, with independent power. Pikachu is has a rather low physical attack stat, so that might be why the move didn’t destroy Rowlet. I sorta wish that GameFreak would explain how Z-Moves work more. It seems like a rather interesting concept.
Even though i would like for them to explain more about z moves i would really like for it to keep a little bit of surprise element to it
Also. .. I Really wish we could get over nostalgia in USA and Change the Pokemon Logo here in North America.
The Japanese logo is always Way cooler than our outdated art
I usually don’t agree with you, but I second this. It’s time for a new logo already. I’d like something more modern. The Japanese logos are always a billion times better.
What a great way to start your comment.
I dont understand, arent they the same logos? I cant see a difference
i think Reece means that the Pokemon Logo has never changed for 20 years (Yellow and blue in america) but japan has always switched up the Pokemon on the logos
http://i.imgur.com/1I1KaTE.png
I’m talking in terms of games. Just compare the logos of English S/M and Japanese S/M.
Lmao did you guys mean this? (rf)
http://archive.pokedit.com/boards/ckfinder/userfiles/2/images/japan-vs-west-pokemon-logos-post.jpg
yea they did
???
Ummm.. k.
Yes, I love when Dragon type gets some variety. That is, Tortonotor does not have an ordinary dragon appearance.
Goomy is still special dragon :3
Goomy is the best Pokemon from X&Y.
http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/631/812/49d.png (rf)
(o’~’o)
Well hes a kappa,I wonder why hes not dragon water
because variety because we already have a dual type water kappa
In the September 1st update of Pokemon Sun and Moon, more new Pokemon will be revealed as well as the Alola Guardian of Akala Island, more Alolan forms, starter evolutions, a few new Mega Evolutions, and Marshadow. What is going on with Pokemon Sun and Moon?
Honestly Idk if i believe this, Megas seem like they will be there but no new ones will be introduce
am i the only one who is surprise that we have yet to have another poison/flying other then the zubat line?
I’m surprised.
Im looking at the list and im surprised by how many type combos have never been used twice.
ya cant top perfection, lol
for real though i love its line
it is a good line.
That being?
We need a mosquito Pokemon that’s Bug/ Dark or Poison
Bug/Dark! Also if we ever get a Bug/Ice type I don’t want it to be a butterfly or moth
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upis_ceramboides
How in the world have we not had a bug/dark or bug/psychic type yet? Almost as dumb as not having a ground/fighting type
Butterfree should be Bug/sychic
On what grounds, s’plain it
It’s eyes could mesmerize enemies
So can anything but that just doesn’t do it
Shiverpillar Bug/Ice White Silkworm with thick thread that protects it from cold
Coldcoon Bug/Ice a heavily wrapped chrysalis that has a icy shell
Mothedral Bug/Ice a pale aqua and Snow White moth with stain glass wings
And my trademarked Pestuzz and Vamsipher Mosquitos
Or a Dementor Wasp.
No one cares about my Bug/Dark leech idea
I’ve never seen it. But that would be cool. And it could evolve into a lamprey
