Because Turtonator lives on volcanoes, feeding on sulfur and other materials found near volcanic craters, its shell has a layer of explosive material—mostly sulfur. When something strikes this Pokémon, sparks fly from the horns on its shell, igniting an explosion!
In areas around volcanic craters, this Pokémon camouflages itself as a rock and waits for prey. At the moment when its prey steps onto the back of its shell, Turtonator strikes its shell with its own tail, triggering an explosion!
The explosive blasts triggered from Turtonator’s back are released through an orifice located on the middle front of the Pokémon’s body. This is Turtonator’s weak point. Attacks landing on its stomach will cause it a great deal of damage.
Shell Trap is a move that only Turtonator is able to learn. With this move, the Pokémon can set a trap at the beginning of the turn, and if Turtonator is hit by an opponent’s physical attack during that turn, Shell Trap triggers an explosion that will deal much greater damage to the opponent.

Oh, I get it. It's a mata mata turtle but with EXPLOSIONS. The drab coloration and head ornaments that the mata mata has is replaced with EXPLOSIONS. Its shell is made of sulfur so it can EXPLODE. It waits for prey to step on it so it can strike its shell with its tail to EXPLODE. Its design has EXPLOSIONS on the tail and head. It's basically a mata mata but with E X P L O S I O N S

The fact that it camouflages as a rock reminds me more of Gravios/Basarios. Speaking of which:
>Attacks landing on its stomach will cause it a great deal of damage
Why the hell do they need to detail this?It makes me crave for MonHun-style Pokemon game.
I love that it's now a tradition for them to reveal some bipedal single stage fire type weirdo every so often.
Also a dragon that resists both of its main weaknesses. This is main team material.

In the video, the back of Turtonator shows that it does indeed have a black hole on its stomach. It's probably for anime reasons
