Honedge, the Steel/Ghost Type Sword Looking Pokémon Revealed


First announced in France's Japan Expo 2013, here's more information about the new Steel/Ghost Pokémon  for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y called Honedge, and yes, he looks like a sword.


It is now known that Honedge comes into being when a departed spirit possesses a sword that once belonged to humans. It can use the blue cloth attached to its hilt as nimbly as an arm. Pokémon Trainers who carelessly take this blade in hand may find the blue cloth wrapping itself around them and draining their energy!


Honedge can learn the attack Swords Dance, a Normal-type move. Swords Dance is a frenetic dance that uplifts the fighting spirit and sharply raises the user’s Attack stat. The effect can be increased by using this move multiple times in succession, helping Trainers who deploy this move at the beginning of a battle to overwhelm one opponent after another!

Pokémon X and Pokémon Y will be released worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS in both retail and on the Nintendo eShop starting this October 12th. Pre-orders are now available via Play-Asia. You can start pre-ordering by clicking the links found below.
