The latest Pokemon Scarlet and Violet gym leader has been revealed, and they're the sickly sweet streamer we thought they could be.

As teased (opens in new tab) yesterday by the Japanese Pokemon Twitter account, the new Levincia gym leader in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is a streamer called Iono. As demonstrated in the short video, Iono is hosting a regular segment on the official Pokemon YouTube channel where she is literally playing Who's that Pokemon?

In the video, the Electric-type gym leader - who is also an influencer, by the way - played a game with her viewers called 'Who's Iono's Partner? I 'unno!' which sees viewers try and guess what Pokemon the influencer is describing. 

The clues given were that the Pokemon is an Electric-type, feels squishy, is not Magnemite (the ones on her head are just hairclips), is a little sluggish, and has two big lumps on its head that people often mistake for eyes. The final clue is that: "Its body expands and contracts to generate electricity in its belly." Pokemon fans were then encouraged to guess which Pokemon Iono is talking about in the comments of the video and to return for the reveal at a later date.
