Meet Bellibolt, The Newest Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet

gameinformer.com:

In a new trailer, the Pokémon Company and Nintendo unveiled the mystery Pokémon teased in a video earlier this week. Their name is Bellibolt, and they’re the signature partner of Iono, the newest gym leader from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

In Wednesday’s initial video, Iono introduced herself as not just a gym leader but also a streamer. She then asked her fictional followers to guess what her mystery partner Pokémon was based on a handful of details, including its type, the placement of its eyes, and the fact that it’s “so cute.” If you had trouble guessing, don't feel bad; today, we’ve learned that her partner is a new Pokémon altogether.

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company released a series of follow-up tweets, giving us new information about Bellibolt that sounds like it was pulled right from the Pokédex. One of the images reveals that they have a new ability called «Electromorphosis,» which allows Bellibolt to power up their next electric-type move after being hit by an attack.

Say hello to the new EleFrog Pokémon, Bellibolt! Bellibolt expands its elastic body generating electricity in an organ that looks like a belly button. Overall, it's pretty easygoing and won’t notice an opponent until attacked. <a href=«https://twitter.com/hashtag/PokemonScarletViolet?src=hash&ref_src=» https:>#PokemonScarletViolet
