The Pokémon Company is slowly rolling out its lineup of new Pokémon ahead of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s November release. Last week, eager players met Grafaiai — a poisonous, painting Pokémon — and this week, there’s three more: Armarouge, Ceruledge, and Klawf.
Armarouge and Ceruledge are version-specific creatures tied to Scarlet and Violet, respectively. Armarouge is the mostly yellow humanoid knight Pokémon with flames coming out of its helmet — not to forgot the Samus-like canon, too. Ceruledge is the blue creature made of fire and ghost energy. Here are their stats, straight from The Pokémon Company.

Armarouge
Armarouge’s set of armor belonged to a distinguished warrior and is the source of the energy used for its Psychic-type moves. It also uses the psychic capabilities of this armor to control the fire energy within its body and unleash attacks.
Category: Fire Warrior Pokemon
Type: Fire/Psychic
Height: 4’11”
Weight: 187.4 lbs.
Ability: Flash Fire
It Lives by the Principles of a Fair Fight
Armarouge believes in a fair fight and will challenge an opponent head-on no matter how much stronger that opponent is. It specializes in using its sturdy armor to bolster its defenses and take down enemies with its high firepower.
A Move Armarouge Can Learn: Armor Cannon
Armor Cannon is a Fire-type special move in which Armarouge moves both its pauldrons to its hands and puts its arms together to form a cannon, allowing it to shoot its own armor out as blazing projectiles.
This is one of the more powerful moves that Armarouge can learn, but it lowers Armorouge’s Defense and Sp. Defense stats in exchange for that power.

Ceruledge
Ceruledge dons an old set of armor steeped in grudges and wields blades made of fire and ghost energy. In battle, these blades transform into great swords to increase Ceruledge’s power. Cuts from these great swords leave wounds from which life energy will flow.
Category: Fire Blades Pokémon
Type: Fire/Ghost
Height: 5’3”
Weight: 136.7 lbs.
Ability: Flash Fire
Willing to Do Anything to Win
Ceruledge prefers close-quarters combat and isn’t above using tactics such as sneak attacks and surprise attacks to win a battle. It uses its quick movements to capitalize on its opponent’s blind spots, then closes the distance to slash its opponent with its large blades.
A Move Ceruledge Can Learn: Bitter Blade
Bitter Blade is a Fire-type physical move that gathers the lingering regrets of the fallen into Ceruledge’s swords, allowing it to focus that bitterness into a slashing attack.
The swords then absorb life energy from wounds…
