Bellibolt is the latest pocket monster announced for the upcomingPokemon Scarlet and Violet. This Electric-type Pokemon is a rotund and squishy amphibian with a green body and orange patterns on its head, back, lower body, and feet. Its belly button produces a tremendous amount of electricity that unleashes a devastating attack when it is discharged by the two bumps on its head that look like eyeballs. Bellibolt also introduces a new ability to thePokemonseries called Electromorphosis. When an enemy hits Bellibolt, it boosts the power of its next Electric-type attack.

On Reddit, The_Internet_Goblin shared an original artwork of Bellibolt in the style ofPokemon Gold,Silver, andCrystal. The pixel-art version of Bellibolt bears its main features, with its round body, the bumps on its head that look like eyeballs, and its actual eyes right above its smiling mouth. Along with this image, the artist shared an animated version of a wild encounter with Bellibolt, just as it would appear inPokemon Gold,Silver, andCrystal.
The animated pixel-art from The_Internet_Goblin can be viewed onReddit.
Some Pokemon fans noticed aresemblance between Bellibolt and an early design of Politoad, fromPokemon Gold,Silver, andCrystal. Before turning into a cute baby toad, the early designs of Politoad made it look like a sitting frog with its eyes placed as bumps on its head. The nostrils of Politoad’s early design, placed above a smiling mouth, are similar to Bellibolt’s eyes. Moreover, Politoad had a circular pattern on its belly while Bellibolt has a round gray circle with its electric belly button.
Bellitoad is not the only Pokemon with a similar design to another Pokemon from a previous Generation. Last month, The Pokemon Company broadcasted a fake webinar to introduce anew Water-type Pokemon Wiglett. This creature looks like a long, white version of Diglett, a popular Pokemon introduced in the first Generation withPokemon Red,Blue, andYellow. During the fake webinar, The Pokemon Company explained that Wiglett wasn’t a regional version of Diglett, despite their resemblance.
Including Bellitoad and Wiglett, there have been19 Pokemon announced forPokemon Scarlet and Violet. To begin their adventure in the Paldea region, players can pick either Sprigatito, Fuecoco, or Quaxly, which are respectively the Grass-type, Fire-type, and Water-type starter Pokemon for Generation 9. Fidough and Lechonk already took over the hearts of Pokemon fans, while Koraidon and Miraidon feature on the covers ofPokemon ScarletandPokemon Violet.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violetwill release for the Nintendo Switch on November 18.
