Pombon — Pokémon Winds & Waves Fire Starter Profile

Who is Pombon?

Pombon is the Fire-type starter of Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves — officially the Puppy Pokémon. It’s a small, fluffy fire pup; media coverage consistently reads the design as Pomeranian-inspired, and the official blurb calls it “guileless and friendly.” If you want the warm-hearted pick of the trio, this is it.

Pombon’s official stats

The name compresses “Pomeranian” + “ken” (Japanese for dog — or possibly “bonfire” wordplay; the official reading isn’t stated).

Where does Pombon appear in the reveal?

Pombon is easiest to spot in the beach-house scene — padding along outside a tropical hut — and standing with Browt and Gecqua in the trio shot. Its evolutions, move set and base stats haven’t been revealed.

Should you pick Pombon?

Fire starters tend to be the aggressive offensive pick, and Pombon’s design suggests a speedier line — unconfirmed, obviously. Compare all three in which starter should you choose, or see the running confirmed roster at all confirmed Pokémon.
