A new Pokemon fighter arrives at fighting video game "Pokken Tournament DX." Generation VI dual-type Pokemon Aegilash is now a playable character in the game as part of its Battle Pack Wave 1.

Update 1.2.0 is now live bringing Aegilash, two new support Pokemon, and new avatar items. Pokemon's official YouTube account released a short introduction video highlighting Aegilash's ability. Gamers are astounded with Aegilash's extensive range and ability to freely shift from sword to shield form. The Ghost and Steel Pokemon is suitable for both long range and melee combat. As shown in the video, Aegilash's ability to block and counter comes in efficiently especially against short range Pokemon. The Pokemon's burst attack was also showed during the final seconds of the video.

Aegilash's is accompanied by two new Support Pokemon, the powerful Mega Rayquaza and the adorable Mimikyu. The arrival of Aegilash was announced earlier in January during the Mini Nintendo Direct presentation.

Aegilash, Mega Rayquaza, and Mimikyu are all part of the Battle Pack's first wave. "Pokken Tournament DX" gamers are more excited for the second wave. Generation I's very own Blastoise is coming to the roster with his cannons. Legedary Pokemon Mew and Celebi are also joining the Support Pokemon list. Nintendo has not released any information about the release date for wave 2.

The downloadable content pack is now available at the Nintendo eShop for only $19 or £13.49. It contains both waves, with the second one awaiting its release. There are still no further updates if Nintendo will add more Pokemon to the title.

"Pokken Tournament DX" keeps its gamers entertained and engaged with new updates bringing in new Pokemon to the arena.

"Pokken Tournament DX" got impressive reviews from both critics and gamers. The fighting game received an eight out of 10 score from IGN and a 79% score rating from Metacritic.
