A widely shared but still unconfirmed starter leak for Pokémon Winds & Waves is making the rounds, mostly through the social media user “Light,” and it gives the clearest alleged picture so far of the final typings for Browt, Gecqua, and Pombon. If the rumor is right, Browt ends up Grass/Ground, Gecqua becomes Water/Psychic, and Pombon lands on Fire/Fairy. None of that has been confirmed by The Pokémon Company or Game Freak, so take it for what it is: a rumor.
Fire/Fairy would be a first for a starter if Pombon really goes that way. Gecqua’s Water/Psychic combo is getting a lot of praise for looking flexible and well rounded. Browt’s supposed Grass/Ground typing has people interested too, even with the nasty 4x Ice weakness hanging over it.
If you keep up with Pokémon leaks, this one is worth keeping an eye on. The same rumor linked to “Light” also says Pombon stays quadrupedal and leans into a lion- or dog-like design, which is going to sound pretty good to anyone who’s tired of Fire starters drifting toward humanoid final evolutions.
People are already theorycrafting around offensive matchups, resistances, utility, and the same leak’s claims about box Legendaries inspired by Garuda and Naga.
For the official side of things, The Pokémon Company announced Pokémon Winds & Waves on February 27, 2026, as Generation 10 during Pokémon’s 30th anniversary celebration, and it’s currently expected to arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027.
