Turtonator GxGuardians Rising #148 Pokémon Card

Turtonator is a dual Fire/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII, native to the Alola region. Known as the Blast Turtle Pokémon, Turtonator’s shell is composed of explosive material, which it uses defensively by waiting for prey to step on its back, then detonating the spikes on its shell. It lives in volcanic areas and feeds on sulfur, which contributes to the explosive nature of its shell. Turtonator is solitary and territorial, often found basking near lava flows to harden its shell. Its unique ability, Shell Trap, reflects damage back to attackers, echoing its in-game mechanic. In the anime, Turtonator is famously owned by Kiawe, one of Ash's classmates in the Alola region, where it showcases its powerful fire attacks and sturdy defense. Its design, resembling a landmine or a turtle with a fiery shell, makes it a memorable addition to the Pokémon roster.
