Keldeo, the 647th Pokemon, has been officially unveiled.
Japanese magazine Coro Coro has the scoop on this new Pokemon which joins the Legendary Musketeer Pokemon Virizion, Cobalion and Terrakion, all of whom are in Pokemon Black and White.
Keldeo is a Water/Fighting Pokemon and belongs to the Colt Pokemon species. Take a look at the first artwork and let us know what you think is this Pokemon.

Hardlys new, we've known about Keldeo for ages, it's just the first time it has been publicly used. Still, can't wait for the event for this.
FIRST
And this was obvious. If you look on the Bulbapedia website at the pokemon list it shows all pokemon that haven't been released yet. If you have an Action Replay (yeah I know...I feel shame) you can obtain the pokemon early. Yeah...I may or may not have got this Pokemon already but I guess it was worth it
it's good to see him finally revealed
just 2 to go
They will never change their plans just because we have revealed it by hacking the game. They will always run it like this. Hopefully, with Gen VI, they won't include them in the game but as patches released so we'll actually be surprised when they're revealed
Not everyone follows fansites like mine and so, to them, this is a brand new Pokémon.
I'm liking the look of this Pokémon,
Especially as its a fire type - my favourite!
Looking forward to being able to catch it!
It's Water/Fighting, not Fire
No surprise, obviously which is a shame, hopefully Nintendo and Game Freak embrace DLC and make sure we don't find out about the Event Legendaries until necessary next gen!
Well, it's news to me at least. I missed out on B/W so I'll most definitely get the next 'main' game released.
Enter d'Artagnan.
This time 4 years ago, Shaymin was officially revealed & Pokemon Platinum was announced on May 2008, so Pokemon Gray could be announced in May this year.
Very excited here! Gonna use that one lots when it comes to our games.
On another note - I dislike people who feel the need to put 'FIRST' on a comment. Let alone the fact it was second..
I'd say they fully embrace DLC as it is. It's free, they do loads of downloads...I'd say they fully embrace it now
yeah i have seen it before
Before I saw this Pokemon I wasn't really keen on it. But now, I love it!!! Keldeo FTW
water/fighting pokemon? seriously, these new pokemon from this generation aren't balanced in their types at all, and ruining the game.
Yeah, but this is the official unveiling
You do realise that one of the first generation's Pokémon was that type: Poliwrath.
The fighting-type fits as all the Pokémon of this group are it
Cobalion: Steel/Fighting
Terrakion: Rock/Fighting
Virizion: Grass/Fighting
Keldeo: Water/Fighting
Trust me, it fits and it doesn't screw balance or ruin the game. New and unique type combinations prevent it being stagnated
seribii, well said about poliwrath. but some of the types in black and white are ridiculous - look at scraggy - dark and fighting, basically covers all bases. pokemon are meant to have weaknesses, and if you remove almost all of them it all falls apart - the combination of dark and fighting negates the physic weakness of the fighting, and since fighting is probably the best type in the game, with lots of advantages and few weaknesses, they effectively made a type tank.
same goes for a lot of the new pokemon. like, emolga - wow, thats fair. its a beast of pokemon weak to ice and little else.
eventually we'll be getting ice/fighting and then no one has a chance.
But they still have weaknesses
Scraggy is weak to Flying and Fighting
Emolga has the same typing as Zapdos. Weak to Ice and Rock.
These type combinations have their own strengths and weaknesses. That's the whole point. There is nothing that is without fault.
It's not just about type, it's about stats, movepool etc.
This pokemon looks cool and I cant wait for the event,but it looks alot like one of them my little pony
Type wise I like it but it lacks in the looks department. Terrikion, Virizion and Cobalion look a thousand times cooler. And it isn't as strong as it's made out to be.
Can't wait for the Keldeo event to arrive
I hope Keldeo is a wi-fi event when they eventually release it, that makes it so much easier to get one rather than the in-store events, since many places are often left in the dark. Keldeo is awesome by the way.
when i saw this, just went oo ooo!
Wow! New Pokemon! Oh... It's Keldeo...
Huh? It's exactly as strong as Terrakion, except it's Special-focused rather than Physical
This made me chuckle. If you think types are so important, you should at least check that they haven't been seen before. And I'd love to see you try out in Ubers with a team of Emolga.
shmilly, okay, fine, funny, but my main beef is pokemon having new types to negate weaknesses, like emolga (having flying to evade weakness to ground) and gallade (losing its weakness to dark) and other pokemon of that vein. because if you're adding another type, you should add both to its weaknesses and its strengths to make it more balanced, but these dont level the playing field. as for the team of ubers -
lets take red's pokemon from hg/ss:
emolga beats lapras, because lapras gets owned by electricity, and wouldnt get a chance to use its ice capabilities, or just get one emolga at most.
venasaur gets owned by flying
blastoise gets owned by electricity
snorlax has level field - but considering it uses earthquake a lot, not as much attacking capability
pikachu has no advantage over emolga
charizard has no advantage over emolga
okay, you're not going to beat him just with emolgas, but you shouldnt get that close with one pokemon
plus, emolga has type advantage over all the unova starting pokemon final forms.
advantages shouldnt negate disadvantages - its meant to be a level playing field.
okay, fine, you're not going to win the battle with just emolga, but you shouldnt be able to just be able to do that.
Oh when the title said 'new Pokemon', I thought it meant one that NOBODY has seen
I love it when stuff like this happens. But that's because I know we're one step closer to Pokemon Grey, and therefore Gen 6. I'm impatient for them already.
Let's see how long Masuda keeps this up when he reveals Maloetta, then genesect. Stupid cheaters.
Then again, why do these events already have to be built into the game? That way, every time Masuda announces something on pokemon smash, the crowd actually ooh and aah.
Awesome. Didn't get black and white because of their release date. (A month before the 3DS launch). I will get Gray though.
They ignore the fact that we delve into the game, as they should.
We knew about Arceus at launch of DP in 2006, yet they still didn't reveal it until 2009.
This is nothing new. I don't get why people are suddenly acting like it
All we need now is for them to reveal Kyurem's second forme. The game data for Black & White lists the number of formes a Pokemon has, so that the game can differentiate each forme. For Kyurem - it says "1", meaning it has 1 alternate forme - despite a sprite not existing in the game's data.
Its hardly new everybody has known about Keldeo for ages!!!
But I am excited about new movie still waiting for 14th Movie: Black Hero and White Hero to come to the UK
Did I say they were stronger?!
I said they look cooler.
He looks like he wandered off the set of Friendship is Magic.
Not everyone follows the fansites to learn about these things. We were not meant to know about it
This is not really news. Anyone using pokemon online or playing pokemon competitivly will have heard of/seen/used keldeo already.
When will we get the legitimate keldeo?
Emolga may have decent typing, but it still has rubbish stats. In battles against other people, it is extremely unlikely that emolga will be used, even if you are playing in that tier. If it is, most things can deal with it.
Also, emolga isn't available in HG/SS, which is why Ash's Team being weak to it is not relevant. You will struggle to find a single pokemon that is equipped to deal with the final boss completely and is available in the game, unless you just level something to 100 and then just own everything.
I'm really starting to think I shouldn't have sold my pokemon black for Ł18.
