« Sceptile Rumored to be Pokkén Tournament's New Fighter »

One week ago, the official Pokkén Tournmanet Twitter account announced that the game will be receiving a new playable character as well as a new support Pokémon on Dec. 10 and it appears that character may be Sceptile.

A new image has surfaced showing the presenter of a Japanese Pokémon show playing the arcade game, and below the game's marquee there is an introductory move list for Sceptile that also names Electrode and Farfetch'd as supports in the game.

The original Pokkén Tournament tweet suggested the new addition to the game "contains the “ン” character (an “n” by itself, without a vowel)" in Japanese, and Sceptile's name in that language is "ジュカイン," or Jukain.

While this is certainly not a confirmation of the upcoming announcement, it seems like a pretty good guess before the official reveal on Dec. 10.
