Introducing the Winds & Waves Starter Pokémon This new adventure introduces three charismatic starters: Browt, the Grass-type Bean Chick Pokémon; Pombon, the Fire-type Puppy Pokémon; and Gecqua, the Water-type Gecko Pokémon.
Each has its own distinct personality, appearance, and in-game abilities, providing fans with early favorites as they prepare for the region's journey. Browt – The Bean Chick Pokémon Standing at just 1’ (0.3 meters) and weighing 7.7 lbs.
(3.5 kg), Browt is the second Grass-type bird starter in franchise history after Rowlet from Pokémon Sun & Moon.
It possesses the Overgrow ability, enhancing its Grass-type moves in critical moments.
According to The Pokémon Company, Browt is energetic and thrives on photosynthesis thanks to the leafy growth on its brow.
Its lively nature is matched by a touch of clumsiness, while its lime green feathers and prominent eyebrows immediately stand out to fans. Pombon – The Puppy Pokémon Dog lovers may find their top pick in Pombon, the pomeranian-inspired Fire starter.
At 1’4” (0.4 meters) tall and weighing 14.8 lbs.
(6.7 kg), Pombon comes equipped with the Blaze ability, powering up its Fire-type attacks when the pressure's on.
Official statements highlight Pombon’s friendly and guileless demeanor, with a heat-emitting organ that makes the area beneath its throat gently glow.
Its fluffy coat and cheerful appearance are already winning hearts across the community. Gecqua – The Water Gecko Pokémon Completing the trio is Gecqua, a Water-type gecko Pokémon measuring 1’ (0.3 meters) and weighing 9.5 lbs.
(4.3 kg).
Gecqua holds the Torrent ability, boosting Water-type attacks at crucial times.
The Pokémon Company describes Gecqua as intelligent and strategic, capable of launching elastic water balls from its tail.
Its sleek design and expressive eyebrows mark another creative leap for starter designs, drawing comparisons to past favorites like Sobble. Building the Next Pokémon Team As of now, these three are the only fully unveiled new Pokémon for Winds & Waves.
While many familiar faces from previous generations are set to return, The Pokémon Company has reserved further reveals for future Nintendo Direct presentations and official updates.
