Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will feature new Electric-type, and it’s a frog called Bellibolt

The Pokémon Company and Nintendo have revealed a new Trainer and Pokémon duo for scarlet and violet pokemon.

The gym leader is Iono, and his partner is the Electric-type Pokémon Bellibolt found in the Paldea region.

Iono is the Gym Leader of Levincia, one of the most prominent cities in the Paldea region, and he specializes in Electric-type Pokémon. She is also known as the Supercharged Streamer and hosts a show called Iono Zone.

His partner Bellibolt expands and contracts his elastic body to generate electricity in an organ that looks like a navel. The huge amount of electricity generated in this way is then discharged from the two protrusions on each side of its head that resemble eyeballs.

Bellibolt’s ability, Electromorphosis, appears for the first time in a Pokémon game. The way it works is that the Pokemon charges up when hit by an attack, increasing the power of the next Electric-type move it uses. His other move is Static.

Check out the duo in the trailer above.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet release on November 18.
