In a major reveal during today’s Pokémon Presents presentation, The Pokémon Company International officially unveiled Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua as the starter Pokémon for their highly anticipated titles, Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves.
These upcoming mainline entries in the Pokémon series are set for both retail and digital release on the Nintendo Switch 2 via the Nintendo eShop, with a global launch window slated for 2027. #### Meet the New Starter Pokémon: Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua As is tradition with new generations in the Pokémon franchise, trainers will choose one Pokémon to start their adventure.
In Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, the three starter Pokémon each offer distinct attributes and designs reflective of their elemental types: - **Browt**: Classified as the Bean Chick Pokémon, Browt is a Grass-type starter standing at 1 foot (0.3 meters) tall and weighing 7.7 lbs.
(3.5 kg).
Its designated ability is Overgrow, a fan-favorite returning mechanic that powers up Grass-type moves when Browt’s HP is low. - **Pombon**: The Fire-type option is Pombon, known as the Puppy Pokémon.
Pombon measures 1 foot 4 inches (0.4 meters) in height and weighs 14.8 lbs.
(6.7 kg).
Trainers who select Pombon will benefit from its Blaze ability, which boosts Fire-type attacks under similar circumstances. - **Gecqua**: For fans of Water-types, Gecqua takes the stage as the Water Gecko Pokémon.
Like Browt, it stands 1 foot (0.3 meters) tall but weighs 9.5 lbs.
(4.3 kg).
Gecqua features the Torrent ability, enhancing Water-type moves when its HP dips below a certain threshold. In a statement shared during the Pokémon Presents stream, The Pokémon Company International highlighted the excitement surrounding the new starters, noting that each Pokémon was carefully designed to both surprise and resonate with players old and new.
Representatives emphasized that these unique creatures will "shape the journeys and strategies of trainers on the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2." #### Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves: Next-Gen Adventures Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves represent the next evolution for the franchise, being among the first titles specifically developed for Nintendo’s forthcoming Switch 2 hardware.
Leveraging advancements in performance and graphics, these games aim to deliver the most immersive Pokémon world to date.
