Bandai Namco and The Pokémon Company have revealed the previously teased combatant heading to Pokken Tournament.
Featured above, the new fighter is Chandelure (or シャンデラ/Chandela in Japanese). This fits in with the previous tease, which focused on the character “ラ” (ra/la) in its original Japanese name,
In case you missed it, three other Pokemon were confirmed for the game in the form of Braixen, Garchomp, and Mewtwo (Editor’s Note: They appear to be exclusive to the Wii U release).
Pokken Tournament has been available in Japanese arcades, while the Wii U release is set for March 18th in Japan, and sometime this spring for both North America and Europe.

Now I’m just curious as to how it plays.

January 16, 2016 at 11:16 amPretty fun to use in X/Y, but surprised to see it here. Then again, I was surprised to see Suicune. Still kinda bummed some “obvious” choices won’t appear (Snorlax, Zoroark, Scizor, et al) but with obvious mon, there could be 50+ fighters. A smaller and better balanced roster makes sense.
