An explosive new Pokemon was announced earlier today at Gamescom. Turtonator is a Fire/Dragon type Pokemon that resembles an armored turtle with a spiked shell and a long, cannon-like mouth. According to Pokemon Sun and Moon's official website description, Turtonator lives on volcanoes and eats sulfur and other volcanic materials. Turtonator's shell is also covered with sulfur, which fuels an explosive backlash whenever a Pokemon strikes it. These explosions can be directed through Turtonator's shell to a hole on the Pokemon's chest, which also acts as the Pokemon's weak point.

Trainers fighting Turtonator will need to carefully choose their attack, as Turtonator has a special move called "Shell Trap". If Turtonator uses its Shell Trap, any physical attack will trigger an explosion that will do massive damage to its attacking Pokemon.

We could see more new information as early as tomorrow, when the annual Pokemon World Championships begins. Traditionally, the Pokemon Company has made at least one major Pokemon announcement to kick off their annual tournaments.

Stay tuned to ComicBook.com for more Pokemon Sun and Moon information as it happens.
