Pokken: Three New Fighters Confirmed, Not Including The Friday Reveal

January 13, 2016 by Ryan Parreno

Famitsu got the 411 but not on that one Pokemon.

Japanese gaming magazine Corocoro has outed three more entrants in Pokken Tournament.

Namely, these are Braixen, Garchomp, and the normal version of Mewtwo. These three Pokemon will only be playable on the Wii U version of Pokken.

Mewtwo needs no introduction. As one of the first artificially created Pokemon, it exhibits unusual powers, including psychic abilities and highly developed contact skills. Mewtwo was hotly anticipated for Super Smash Bros, and he is of course a welcome (dare I say expected) addition here.

Braixen, of course, is the evolution from Pokemon XY starter Fennekin. Seemingly inspired by fennec foxes and witches, it hides a stick in its tail, which it uses to communicate and fight.

Garchomp is probably the biggest crowd pleasing announcement. As if coming straight out of a kaiju movie, Garchomp has physical characteristics seemingly lifted from dragons and sharks. Aside from its spikes and fearsome teeth, Garchomp’s wings are functional and can help it travel fast.

Our source’s webmaster, Joe Merrick, has an interesting piece of trivia for Pokken fans:

The thing about these three Pokkén characters is that none of them have ラ in their name so we're getting ANOTHER one on Friday. Yikes.

Yes, the Pokken fighter teased a week ago was not part of this reveal! Care to share your current guesses which Pokemon it is? Let us know in the comments.

Pokken Tournament will be released on Wii U in Q2 2016.
