Additionally, it has bushy yellow eyebrows and a yellow mandible. There are spike-protrusions on each cheek that extend downward over its lower jaw. Volcanion's body has two oval segments separated by a thinner, blue portion. The front portion the body is larger and has two large, arm-like cannons on the back. These cannons are usually held together, forming a ring. Each cannon is separated into three segments by bright blue lines, and each segment has a single blue dot and short, blunt growth. The topmost segments also have four small, yellow bumps around the end. On its chest are four yellow, diamond-shaped markings. There is a thin, yellow band around each of its leg joints. The upper portion of its legs is black and smaller than the large, red lower portion. Each ankle has a short, blunt growth, while each foot has three yellow claws. Volcanion has a short, tapering tail with a blue stripe on top.
Volcanion is a primarily maroon, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. 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.


Volcanion has a unique organ capable of turning water vapor around it into hot steam in an instant. It can {{m|Steam Eruption|expel steam}} of superbly high pressure and has the ability to blow away mountains, and is worshiped in southern parts of [[Kalos]] for creating the plain in that part of Kalos. As shown in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', Volcanion is able to run out of water; when it does, a sound similar to a starting bell in boxing is heard, the lines and dots on its cannons become red, and it is unable to use any Water-type move until it refills its water supply from any source of water.
Volcanion has an organ that allows it to vaporize the water it absorbs instantly with extremely high temperatures. The arms on Volcanion's back expel the resulting steam from inside its body, allowing it to disappear into the dense fog. It can expel steam of superbly high pressure and has the ability to blow away mountains. Volcanism is capable of creating explosive shockwaves<ref> https://web.archive.org/web/20160220041348/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/volcanion </ref>. This power also allows Volcanion to gouge out the earth and changing the land by reshaping it. It's said to live in mountains where humans do not tread. Volcanion can run out of water within its body to use, as depicted in the movie ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. When it does, a sound similar to a bell is heard, the lines and dots on its cannons turn red, and it is unable to use any {{type|Water}} moves until it refills its water supply from another source. It was also shown that Volcanion can live for several centuries.  


As shown in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', Volcanion has a very long lifespan compared to human's, as it has lived for at least 500 years.
Volcanion is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Steam Eruption}}.

Volcanion played a major role in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. The plot summary included in the January 2016 issue of CoroCoro revealed that it had hatred of humans, that it was targeting the Azoth Kingdom, and that it ended up connected to Ash due to a strange device that activated when it and Ash's group encountered each other. The February 2016 issue later revealed its motive for targeting the Azoth Kingdom: It was trying to retrieve the man-made Pokémon [[Magearna_(M19)|Magearna]], of whom only it knew its true identity.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Volcanion.
* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Volcanion.
* Volcanion is the only Pokémon from the first six [[generation]]s to not appear in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], as it was not yet officially introduced at the time of game's release.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it is revealed that Volcanion has been sighted in [[Kalos]], [[Johto]], and [[Sinnoh]], with [[Brandon]] having led expeditions to search for it in those regions.
 


===Origin===
===Origin===
Volcanion appears to be based on the Ryukyuan シーサー ''{{wp|shisa}}'', or 狛犬 ''{{wp|komainu}}'', mythical creatures inspired by lions, tigers, and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians that invite good spirits and repel evil ones. Its mechanical appearance and cannon-like "arms" may also draw inspiration from {{wp|tank}}s. Its typing and signature move may refer to {{wp|geyser}}s. Its ability to fly using its cannon-like "arms" may also draw inspiration from a {{wp|steam engine}}.
Given Volcanion's mechanical appearance, type combination, and ability to boil water into steam, it may be based on {{wp|steam engine}}s and other {{wp|boiler}}s, while its "arms" function as {{wp|artillery}} weapons. It may also pull from the {{wp|brazen bull}}, a hollow, bronze statue of a bull that would be heated over a flame to kill a person locked inside; or the {{wp|Ryukyu Islands|Ryukyuan}} ''{{wp|shisa}}'' and ''{{wp|komainu}}'', mythical creatures inspired by lions, tigers, and dogs. Its signature move may refer to {{wp|geyser}}s.


====Name origin====

Volcanion may be a combination of ''volcano'' and ''lion''. It may also include ''canyon'', referring to its ability to break large landmasses. "Canion" may also be a corruption of ''cannon''.
Volcanion may be a combination of ''volcano'' or ''volcanic'' and ''lion''. It may also involve ''cañón'' (Spanish for cannon).

Volcanion (Japanese: ボルケニオン Volcanion) is a dual-type Fire/Water Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Volcanion was leaked in the January 2016 issue of CoroCoro magazine on December 12, 2015, and it was officially revealed on December 14, 2015.

Volcanion is the last Pokémon in the Central Kalos Pokédex.

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.

Volcanion has an organ that allows it to vaporize the water it absorbs instantly with extremely high temperatures. The arms on Volcanion's back expel the resulting steam from inside its body, allowing it to disappear into the dense fog. It can expel steam of superbly high pressure and has the ability to blow away mountains. Volcanism is capable of creating explosive shockwaves[1]. This power also allows Volcanion to gouge out the earth and changing the land by reshaping it. It's said to live in mountains where humans do not tread. Volcanion can run out of water within its body to use, as depicted in the movie Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel. When it does, a sound similar to a bell is heard, the lines and dots on its cannons turn red, and it is unable to use any Water-type moves until it refills its water supply from another source. It was also shown that Volcanion can live for several centuries.

Volcanion is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Steam Eruption.

Trivia


Origin

Given Volcanion's mechanical appearance, type combination, and ability to boil water into steam, it may be based on steam engines and other boilers, while its "arms" function as artillery weapons. It may also pull from the brazen bull, a hollow, bronze statue of a bull that would be heated over a flame to kill a person locked inside; or the Ryukyuan shisa and komainu, mythical creatures inspired by lions, tigers, and dogs. Its signature move may refer to geysers.

Name origin

Volcanion may be a combination of volcano or volcanic and lion. It may also involve cañón (Spanish for cannon).
