Niantic recently posted a video that shows a silhouette of Pawmi on Pokemon GO’s official X page. The post confirms that this koala-like critter will be making its debut soon. Pawmi will most likely come with the next batch of Paldean Pocket Monsters that are going to be added to the game. There are three creatures in the family: Pawmi, Pawmo, and Pawmot. With an Electric/Fighting elemental typing, Pawmot surely seems promising.

This creature is a glass cannon on the battlefield. Where it lacks in bulkiness, it compensates with its Charged moves that possess immense nuking potential.
