Following leaks in the January 2016 issue of CoroCoro magazine, the "discovery" of new Pokemon Volcanion that is currently not available on any of the Pokemon video games has now been confirmed.
The Pokemon Company revealed the existence of Pokemon Volcanion, which belongs to the Fire and Water type and has the "Water Absorb" ability. It is the first ever Pokemon that belongs to the Fire and Water type.
The Pokemon Company notes in an official post that Pokemon Volcanion uses fire and water to create steam within its body. It can discharge shock waves and boiling steam using the ring-like structure on its back. It is believed that it has the power to "blow away an entire mountain".
It is not yet known if the Pokemon can evolve into any other form of Pokemon. The Pokemon Company has said further details of Volcanion will be "coming soon".
