New Volcanic Legendary Pokémon Announced!

A new legendary Pokémon has been announced, Volcanion!  This is the first Pokémon that is both Fire and Water typing!  As such, steam will be its main theme.  The only announced competitive attribute is that its ability will be Water Absorb, which is an ability that absorbs water attacks to heal HP.  We are sure they will announce the details on how to get it soon; traditional legendary Pokémon distributions have taken place at Mcdonald’s restaurants using the 3DS SpotPass feature.

The Pokémon Company has recently announced that they’re changing the official format for Pokémon tournaments, namely trainers can now use up to two legendary Pokémon on their team (some restrictions apply), so this will definitely shake up the metagame at Premier Events!

Pokémon is a franchise in the RPG genre of gaming, where you assume the role of a child embarking on an adventure from home, and training native creatures called Pokémon to progress through the game.  Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire are remakes of the third generation of Pokémon games, Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald.
