According to Rocket News 24, it also featured a steampunk-inspired setting that resembled a city filled with gear work and other mechanical devices. The stunning architectural landscape is then cut short when a colossal fire/water Pokemon, the Volcanion, storms the city in all its maroon and yellow glory.

Volcanion was first introduced in Generation VI and was featured in the December 2015 issue of CoroCoro. It is a maroon quadruped with distinct blue and yellow markings and is endowed with cat-like attributes. It has the ability to turn water vapor into powerful pressurized steam that can blow away mountains as well as shoot lasers.
