Last night, Zeraora was officially unveiled as the latest Pokemon. The Pokemon Company has now put out an official press release that shares some of the first details about the creature.

Here’s the announcement in full:

BELLEVUE, WA—April 9, 2018—The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo announced today that a new Mythical Pokémon has been discovered in the world of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon: Zeraora, the Thunderclap Pokémon!

Zeraora is an Electric-type Pokémon that gathers electric energy from outside sources, emitting strong electrical currents from the pads on its hands and feet to create a powerful magnetic field. Zeraora uses this magnetic field to levitate and move through the air with extreme speed.

Name: Zeraora

Category: Thunderclap Pokémon

Height: 4’11”

Weight: 98.1 lb.

Type: Electric

This Mythical Pokémon is said to be so fast that its maximum speed is the same as that of lightning strikes. When using massive amounts of electric energy for a powerful attack, Zeraora’s fur stands on end all over its body!

Zeraora is only available in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, and cannot be encountered in regular gameplay. Launched in November, 2017, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon are the latest titles in the core Pokémon video game series available exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.
