Volcanion is a Fire/Water-type Mythical Pokémon, introduced in Pokémon X and Y. It is the Mythical for the sixth generation.
Biology[]
Volcanion is a primarily maroon, quadrupedal Pokémon. It has pointed ears with blue interiors, bright blue eyes, yellow markings over and behind its eyes that resemble eyebrows and eyelashes, a pointed, yellow mandible, and a spike-like protrusion on each cheek. Its body is divided into three segments: a considerably larger front portion that has a hunched back, a thin, blue waist, and smaller hips that resemble its front portion. On its chest are four yellow, diamond-shaped bumps. There is a thin, yellow band around each of its leg joints and the lower, maroon portions of its legs are larger than the thin, blue upper portions. Each ankle has a short, blunt growth, while each foot has three yellow claws. Volcanion has a short, tapering tail with a slightly shorter blue bump along the top. On the back of the front portion of its body are two arm-like cannons. These cannons are normally held together and form a ring around the back. Each cannon is separated into three segments by bright blue lines and each segment has a single blue dot and a short, blunt growth. The topmost segments also have four small, yellow bumps around the ends.
The arms on Volcanion's back expel steam from inside its body. It can expel steam of superbly high pressure and has the ability to blow away mountains.

Origin[]
Volcanion is based on a steam engine with some elements of an artillery weapon. It also shares some similarities with the komainu. a mythical creature that has traits of a dog, tiger, and lion. Volcanion's ability to shoot out blasts of super-heated water may also be based on geysers.
