All Pokemon Winds and Waves starters

The starters for Pokemon Winds and Waves have been revealed: Pombon, Gecqua and Browt, inspired by the pomeranian, the gecko and the owl respectively. Right now these are the only original Pokemon we've seen from Gen 10 (though we don't doubt that more will be coming soon), and already we've got a few details regarding them, like typing and their innate abilities. To find out more, here's every starter Pokemon in Winds and Waves.

What are the starters in Pokemon Winds and Waves?

The three starters in Generation 10 of Pokemon, Winds and Waves, have been announced as follows:

Pombon: A smiley orange-and-red dog clearly based on the real-life pomeranian species.
- Type: Fire
- Ability: Blaze (Increases damage of Fire attacks when at low health)

Gecqua: A large-headed blue gecko with a teardrop mark between its eyes.
- Type: Water
- Ability: Torrent (Increases damage of Water attacks when at low health)

Browt: A surly-looking green owl with a pair of leaves rising from its beak.
- Type: Grass
- Ability: Overgrow (Increases damage of Grass attacks when at low health)

These are completely new Pokemon added to the official Pokedex as part of Pokemon Winds and Waves, which makes sense: the starters tend to be new Pokemon in every mainline addition to the franchise.

Right now there's no indication about what they'll evolve into or what their final evolutions will be like, or what dual-typing we can potentially expect. Of course, we'll update this page as more information is revealed about the starters and their evolutions, which we expect to see emerge as we get closer to the release of Generation 10.
