As with any of our rumor posts, we do NOT recommend people put any faith in speculative information. These are used to spark discussion and entertain only.
This month is rather unusual in that CoroCoro will be coming out on Saturday, July 13th not Monday, July 15th. This is due to a Japanese holiday that falls on the latter date. Luckily for us this means that the leaks will potentially come a few days earlier, possibly today even. With that in mind, there has been information posted on what the August issue allegedly contains. This was found on 2ch so be very very skeptical. We’re not taking any of this to heart and we don’t recommend you do either. It is fun to enjoy speculating about what we’ll see though 🙂 Without further ado, here’s the translated info:
New Pokemon
- Honedge (Steel/Ghost)- The move used by Honedge, seen in the Message to fans at the Japan Expo in France, is called “Soul Smash”
- Panpura (Grass/Ghost) – Pumpkin ghost Pokemon, may be based on a Jack ‘O Lantern, likes to prank and uses Astonish
- Yotsurun (Ice/Fighting) – Giant with a horn, uses the move Ice Hammer
- Syoomai (Water/Bug) – Snail-like evolution of split evolution of Shellos which gains an actual shell
- Myuujii (Psychic) – Pokemon based on a quarter note which has a move or ability called Battle Melody which lowers opponent’s stats and raises user’s
Interesting, huh? Chatot might get a musical companion!

Featured Thread: If You Could Create One Pokemon… by Ranger
Well so Grass / Fire pumpkin is not going to happen … :,( (if the rumours are true)
Who says that they didn’t invent something similar and aren’t in the mood to leak it?
OMG GEN 6 IS FULFILLING ALL THE TYPINGS I WANTED.
steel/ghost, grass/ghost, ice/fighting and a water/bug type which is not surskit! split evo for shellos
come at me gen 6
I hope we do get a Ghost Pumpkin Pokemon, cause that would be all sorts of awesome
if i wanted a pumkin type it would bwe ghost first stage, Fire/ghost the next to based of jack o laterns
Maybe this is just a small pumpkin with vines all over it from where it was still growing. When/If it evolves, it could lose the vines and become more like a Jack-O-Lantern with a flame inside it. This might change it from Grass/Ghost to Fire/Ghost. It’s a bit bizarre for a Pokemon to completely change types, but just look at Surskit, Gloom, and Azurril. 🙂
All I want this Gen is an Electric-type elephant with lightning bolts for tusks. 😀
I can already see the fan art of Panpura eating a Litwick. O.o
Ice Hammer seems unlikely cuz we have Wood Hammer and The Honedge move seems to be wrong because he is not smashing
I don’t think it’s that unlikely, I mean we have Ice Beam, Hyper Beam, Bubblebeam, Psybeam, Charge Beam, Aurora Beam and Aurora Beam. One more Hammer move would be fine. 🙂
Crab hammer
Hammer arm
True! Your right! 🙂
Myuujii seems really scary
Sould Smash sounds awesome
a powerful physical Ghost attack that is not Shadow Force FINALLY !!!!!
A Physical Attack that does Special Damage? That would be great.
A Grass/Ghost pumpkin seems to be a popular idea among fans….and I think some wish Beartic had been Ice/Fighting. Also many wish Surksit had kept it’s Bug/Water typing so there isn’t really any viable pokemon of that type. So I’m inclined to think these are fake because game freak wouldn’t be so in line with what fans want.
I’m hoping for a Grass/Flying this Gen that’s based on a Hummingbird and a Grass/Dragon that’s based on a Chinese Dragon. You know one of those green serpents.
Idk…I just have a gut feeling this is fake. There will likely be some feature-related news in CoroCoro, not JUST new Pokemon news.
Though I do like the sound of the music Pokemon.
Ahh, yes. I have long awaited the day for a Grass/Ghost type. My two favorites smushed into one 🙂
Let’s hope it’s not a rumor, and lets hope it’s design is super awesome ;D
Pokemon X and Pokemon Y needs to create a eeveevolution as dragon type because I’t will be really awesome because Eevee with Dragon type will be the enemy of silvion
I agree. A Eevee-esque Dragon line would be cool:
Dragon-Electric (Thunder Stone)
Dragon-Fire (Fire Stone)
Dragon-Water (Water Stone)
Dragon-Grass (Leaf Stone)
Dragon-Fairy (Shiny Stone)
Dragon-Dark (Dusk Stone)
No…he meant a Dragon Type evolution to Eevee, not an Eevee like Dragon type Pokemon who evolves by different stones. XD
Nice concept though. I’ve tried the same with birds once.
i think this is fake or at the very least the last one. Myuujii makes me think of this http://myanimelist.net/character/18752/Myuujii
the fact that they have the same name,coincident i think not
If gamefreak were to release a ghost/fire pumpkin pokemon this region would be the perfect timing. JackOLanterns originated from around the region of Europe, I think It was Ireland.
Plus it doesn’t hurt that the game is released in October (month of Halloween).
Seems kinda fake, especially this “Battle Melody” move, but the ideas are nice!
hey, do you guys think we’ll see the new sableye evolution when the movie comes out in 3 days? just speculatin’ 😀
If Honedge was real, maybe the others are…
I really like that Shellos rumored evolution. It reminds me of the beta Gastrodon back sprite.
Fennekin confirmed bulky with 55 hp at lvl 5
This concerns the upcoming issue right? (The august edition is being released in July?)
Yes. The August issue releases in July. The July issue released in June, etc., etc. I have no idea why though. :/
That’s how most Magazines are. They are dated a month ahead that way the info is current as you go into the month. Things like Shonen Jump were like that, even US magazines like Time, or Electronic Gaming monthly.
A lot of magazines come out during the beginning of the month and some come out the end of a month, both still date a month ahead to keep the info relevant into the next month.
Ok, that makes sense.
I don’t read magazines and such. :p
Please be real !!
Wow I really hope it’s real ’cause that looks really good it’s exactly what I’d want Skrelp to evolve into! 😀
I. Love. It.
I. Must. Have. It.
IT. SHALL. BE. REAL.
It doesn’t look real to me. It just doesn’t seem to fit what they seem to be going for with Skrelp….plus the art itself I’m not sure it’s sugis…
True, but if it does evolve I hope it’s something like this.
It’s real, it’s model is encoded into the site!!!
yes! skrelp is definitely in my team
It seems like this could really change things for Skrelp in terms of popularity then.
Link to where it’s encoded please? 🙂
Where did you find it exactly, what page?
8D <-my face when I saw this
Question:
If all new Pokémon images are accessible like this on the site. Why haven’t we looked at them all yet?
Just think about that for a bit guys XD
Basically, I think it being “viewable on the site” has given this story less credit.
Why didn’t I think of that x’D *Facepalms.*
Even so, it has the background that all the Pokemon from X/Y have on the official site, not to mention that the artwork is clear unlike the other image. But that could just be from the creator.
As it stands, I’m not gonna call it just yet.
The Japanese in the scan is really suspicious. I see a trend in these recent alleged Corocoro scans where they zoom up to the artwork to the point where a lot of the would-be incorrect Japanese is cut off, making it hard to say if the Japanese is actually right or wrong. However, you can guess to some extent what the sentence will be. In this case, it would probably be”(新)ポケモンを進化させる方法！” The parenthesis is there to acknowledge the fact that the word new might be in front of the next word, Pokemon. Either way, although not a grammatically wrong sentence, it is very suspicious context-wise. Corocoro usually has the name of the Pokemon evolving, in this case “クズモー,” But alas, it does not. Another thing I noticed looking at that scan is that the in-game 3D model screenshot next to the artwork is completely cut off at the point where one would probably be able to see this Skrelp evo. I don’t think a leaker would simply do that. Typical captions seen for Corocoro aren’t seen here either, the background is bland, and not much going on text wise. I have to say that I wouldn’t count on this being real.TLDR; The Japanese is off, how the scan is taken is unheard of, and the structure of the supposed page itself is not what we see in Corocoro, although similar.
Serebii already has it down as fake.
Aww… That’s too bad, it’s one of the most awesome fakes I’ve ever seen.
the biggest note is that the file is saved as .png, while all of the website images are saved as .jpg
You know that it wouldn’t have always been up there right? It’s not like all 100 new pokemon are waiting on the site for us to pull out…just whatever ones they’re getting ready to announce.
Anyway I think somebody is telling fibs. I wasn’t able to find this.
Yes, but I was trying to be tactful for the sake of the believers lol
Well something must be accessible ’cause more than one person seem to have found the file (and taken a picture of it). I can’t see how someone could have made this out of the “fake” in such a short space of time after this scan was leaked. Anyways I may have been a bit too hasty in declaring it to be real but I do hope it is 🙂
But they could be the same person or working together for all we know.
If it was accessible via jpeg, no one would have bothered to print screen and upload it. They would have just linked to it directly.
That being said, good job posting it here. We like discussing rumours. And of course that includes trying to figure out their legitimacy 🙂
Even though its probably fake, it still looks really bad-ass!
I honestly love the design, it’s awesome but It’s probably fake but Thanks for sharing! (^-^)
what do you mean the modes is encoded into the site? what site? could you be more specific please? that design is really great.
In what site can I see this?
This one is really awesome! I hope it will be real!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Goodness graces…!
That shits awesome. :O
This is a very fake, failed attempt at sugi style. Fake~
I’ve inspected the site with chrome and there aren’t such semi-transparent images. All of them are merged with the background and in jpg format. So most probably it’s a fake. But I love it, I’d love to have a POISON/DRAGON sea weed pkm!
I hope these rumors are true. I really like the sound of the music note pokemon. And if Shellos gets a new evo I want Burmy to get another Wormadam evo considering the Dex is split lol
Has anyone proven this one legit or fake?
[IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/3483fkj.jpg[/IMG]
I pretty sure this was proven fake back a few months ago. To me it looks like an evolution for Flabébé.
I thought it might have been proven fake but I wanted to be sure. 🙂
I hope it’s not real and especially not an evolution of Flabebe. I don’t think it does it justice. It looks more like it’s related to Cherrim. Like Cherrim and Weepinbell had a baby together.
As Mark said below, it was indeed proven fake a few month back.
