Klawf, Armarouge, And Ceruledge Revealed For Pokemon Scarlet/Violet
In the latest trailer for Pokemon Scarlet And Violet, some brand new Pokemon were revealed for the games.
The three Pokemon are the Rock-Type Klawf, the Fire/Psychic Type Armarouge, and the Fire/Ghost Type Ceruledge. Each of these Pokemon have new signature abilities or moves, with Klawf in particular serving an important role in one of the game’s three story paths. You can check out all the details below:
Klawf
- Category: Ambush Pokémon
- Type: Rock
- Height: 4’3″
- Weight: 174.2 lbs.
- Ability: Anger Shell/Shell Armor
Spinning Eyes That Leave No Blind Spots
Klawf can rotate its protruding eyeballs to see everything around it, eliminating all blind spots. It latches upside down onto cliffs to ambush its prey from above. However, Klawf eventually gets dizzy from the blood rushing to its head, so it can’t stay upside down too long.
Claws That Are Both Strong and Dexterous
Klawf’s claws can hold onto things very tightly, not letting prey go once within its grasp. It uses one claw to hold its opponent in place while using the other to break its guard and hit it where it hurts. Even if a Klawf loses a claw in battle or elsewhere, it will grow back after a while. In certain parts of the Paldea region, Klawf claws are considered a valuable cooking ingredient.
Ability: Anger Shell
Klawf’s Anger Shell Ability is making its first appearance in the Pokémon series.
When Klawf’s HP drops to half or less, the Pokémon gets angry. This lowers its Defense and Sp. Def stats but boosts its Attack, Sp. Atk, and Speed stats.
Armarouge (Scarlet Exclusive)
- Category: Fire Warrior Pokémon
- Type: Fire/Psychic
- Height: 4’11”
- Weight: 187.4 lbs.
- Ability: Flash Fire
Its Armor Is the Source of Its Psychic Power
Armarouge’s set of armor belonged to a distinguished warrior, and is the source of the energy used for its Psychic-type moves. It also uses the psychic capabilities of this armor to control the fire energy within its body and unleash attacks.
It Lives by the Principles of a Fair Fight
Armarouge believes in a fair fight and will challenge an opponent head-on no matter how much stronger that opponent is. It specializes in using its sturdy armor to bolster its defenses and take down enemies with its high firepower.
A Move Armarouge Can Learn: Armor Cannon
Armor Cannon is a Fire-type special move in which Armarouge moves both its pauldrons to its hands and puts its arms together to form a cannon, allowing it to shoot its own armor out as blazing projectiles.
This is one of the more powerful moves that Armarouge can learn, but it lowers Armorouge’s Defense and Sp. Defense stats in exchange for that power.
Ceruledge (Violet Exclusive)
- Category: Fire Blades Pokémon
- Type: Fire/Ghost
- Height: 5’3″
- Weight: 136.7 lbs.
- Ability: Flash Fire
Its Flaming Great Swords Absorb Life Energy
Ceruledge dons an old set of armor steeped in grudges and wields blades made of fire and ghost energy. In battle, these blades transform into great swords to increase Ceruledge’s power. Cuts from these great swords leave wounds from which life energy will flow.
Willing to Do Anything to Win
Ceruledge prefers close-quarters combat and isn’t above using tactics such as sneak attacks and surprise attacks to win a battle. It uses its quick movements to capitalize on its opponent’s blind spots, then closes the distance to slash its opponent with its large blades.
A Move Ceruledge Can Learn: Bitter Blade
Bitter Blade is a Fire-type physical move that gathers the lingering regrets of the fallen into Ceruledge’s swords, allowing it to focus that bitterness into a slashing attack.
The swords then absorb life energy from wounds they made, and the user’s HP is restored by up to half the damage taken by the target.
Pokemon Scarlet And Violet launches on November 18th 2022 for Switch.
