Maaaaan that has gotta be the ugliest pokemon they've leaked for this generation so far. XD I was hoping for something better.

No one says all Pokemon have to be cute, fluffy, or cool looking you know. It was based on a certain turtle, which is not that aesthetically pleasant, so...

 

[Peachy]

I like Turtonator. The design's kinda weird and it's not really obvious that it's supposed to be a turtle at first but I like it. Although I'm kinda confused as to why it doesn't also have Aftermath as an ability since this thing's gimmick seems to be centered around exploding. Shell Armor seems like such a boring choice.

 

[Pyrax]

I like the design of its shell, particularly the jagged edges and the spikes. Really sets it apart from existing turtle Pokemon.

 

[Sakuraa]

Haven't seen all of the footage yet, but I did see the trailer of the new turtle Pokemon. I don't like it. Its face looks so ugly and gross. I am pleased that they keep making more Pokemon dragon-typed that aren't actual dragons though.

 

[Proxima Centauri B]

I guess Turtonator's design is cool. I was also a little confused about what it was supposed to be at first though.

There sure are some interesting Pokemon this time which is always fun to see.

 

[Guzma]

Wow, never expected that we'd get a fire-breathing mata mata.

 

[Tensho]

Assuming that Mega Rayquaza can also use Z-moves, then it either have to Mega Evolve first or use the move and Mega Evolve the 2nd turn because of the battle scene.

 

[Mitchman]

Oh cool, didn't see Turtonator. A fire type counter based dealt damage sounds deliciously evil, and the entire design is prettt cool. Its a Mata-Mata/Soft Shell Turtle hybrid that looks like a giant explosion, and its the first non legendary/mega Fire/Dragon, which means I can actually use it on my playthrough.



I love how this gen there are all these aubtle design philosophy nods to gen 1. Solgaleo and its muscle tonage, dual type grass starter, and now the Horsea snout makes a comeback even!

 

[Tensho]

Dang, we don't have enough data to estimate the Power of the Normal Z-move, missing Rowlet HP at level 50.

Sure I know that. Just commenting that I think this has to be the ugliest pokemon of this generation so far. Nothing really wrong with ugly pokemon- it just is an ugly pokemon. XD And I was hoping for something better or at least more interesting than just yet another turtle.

 

[Dizzard]

After having a look at a picture of what it's based on (the mata mata turtle) I feel like I can understand it's design a bit more.

I probably won't use it on my team but it's still a pretty cool addition.

 

[Oriden]

Now what would be interesting is if it has an evolution or pre-evolution. It doesn't look like it would evolve, but it would be cool to see how they could possibly build up or down from that design.

 

[Oriden]

So now we have a water turtle Blastoise, grass turtle Torterra and a fire turtle Turtonator. The triangle is complete!

We already had a fire turtle. D= You forgot poor Torkoal.

 

[Boss1708]

Turtonator is boss.

 

[PurplePopplio]

I did. That's why I deleted my comment. But Turtonator seems way hotter. I think that it's a combination of turtle + detonator.

I gotta wonder.

Are all Z-moves either just physical or special? It's weird that some of them are simply special and other simply physical.

 

[Esserise]

Trying to figure out what the heck it was a silhouette of before it unveiled the Sugimori art was pretty fun. Such a jagged, pointy design... I like it though. It fits the setting and is another entry in the growing line of non-draconic Dragon-types, which I am a fan of. Also, I am guessing that it will be a little more on the defensive side, and that is a style that I have taken more of an interest in lately.

May be it's calculated based on your higher stat, who know!!!
I hope whoever does the datamining do it quick after the game come out so we can have all the answer. Pretty sure official strategy guides does not answer those technical questions.
