Today brings another new Pokémon set to debut in the upcoming Scarlet and Violet games for Nintendo Switch: Bellibolt, an electric-type frog.was released where Iono, a new gym leader character described as an influencer and livestreamer within the Pokémon universe, asked viewers to guess what her partner Pokémon was.
We were given the following clues: appearance-wise it's squishy, sluggish with an easygoing vibe, and has"two big ol' bumps on its noggin that people always mistake for eyes". And it's"so cute", according to Iono.Today, a video containing the answer was uploaded. Meet Bellibolt!Those suspiciously eye-looking things on either side of its head aren't eyes, they're just some small lumps. Its actual eyes are the two dots above its mouth.
Bellibolt has a new ability called Electromorphosis. Whenever it is hit by an attack it gets charged up, boosting the power of the next electric-type move it uses. I will admit Bellibolt is very round. In the video it does make some sort of boing-y noises as it moves. I find it quite cute, but I just can't get past its not-eyes-but-antennas.Iono’s partner Pokémon is Bellibolt, the EleFrog Pokémon! 🐸⚡️
Bellibolt expands and contracts its body to generate electricity in an organ that looks like a belly button. Electricity is then discharged from the two bumps on either side of its head that resemble eyeballs.
