The latest issue of Corocoro has begun appearing online, and with it comes a stash of new information, including new Pokémon, characters and even more!
The scans and our translations can be found below. Remember! These are the Japanese names and it’s almost certain that we’ll get the official English reveal of these Pokémon in a couple of days.
Pokémon Information
- Maaiika: “Rotate Pokemon”, Dark/Psychic with Contrary or Suction cups. It flashes the lights above its eyes and confuses its opponents. As its classification suggests, this Pokémon actually rotates it battle.
- Kalamanero: the “Turnabout Pokemon”, an Evolution of Maiika. Has either the ability ‘Contrary’ or ‘Suction Cups’. It knows the move ‘Flip Around’ which flips the stats of the afflicted Pokémon, much like it’s ability.
- This may actually work through the 3DS’s gyroscope?
- Goronda: “Tough-Looking Pokemon”, Fighting/Dark Knows Arm Hammer. Ability is Mold Breaker or Iron fist. Pancham is hinted at evolving in a special way. It is described as “looking like it has a rough temperament, but cannot stand to see the weak getting bullied. It has a warm heart”.
- Shushuppu: the “Perfume Pokemon” is Fairy Exclusive to Pokemon Y and looks like a pink bird. It has the ability ‘healer’. “It releases a special aroma from its body to fascinate the opponent”.
- Skrelp is a Pokemon Y exclusive, Clauncher is an X-exclusive
- Peroppuff: “Cotton Candy Pokemon”, Fairy type, has an ability called Sweet Veil which protects team members battling from sleep. Exclusive to Pokemon X
- Xerneas: “Life Pokemon”, Fairy type and has the ability Fairy Aura which powers Fairy-type moves. Has a new move called Geo Control
- Yveltal: “Destruction Pokemon”, Dark/Flying type and has the ability Dark Aura which powers up Dark-type moves. Has a new move called Death Wing
- Honedge has the ability ‘No Guard’
Character Information
- Team Flare are the new antagonists, they aim to make big money, but doesn’t seem like their only aim
- Prof. Platane is the new Professor, may battle you
- “The Tree of Hippocrates is the plane tree (or platane, in Europe)” -Wikipedia, This could refer to a 3D plane which has X and Y coordinates, infers third game will definitely be Z.
- Two new Gym Leaders: Citron (likes to invent things) and Zakuro (good at sports)
Game Information
- New “O-Power” which can help you throughout the game, similar to Pass Powers
- “Holocaster” allows you to receive updates on WiFi tournaments through the PSS
- Drain Kiss is a new Fairy-type attack which attacks the opponent whilst recovering HP
- New attack “Flip around” switches around the opponents stats.
Miscellaneous Information
- Maaiika is from Maika, a common Japanese squid, as well as being from the common Japanese phrase “Maa, ii ka!” used to ‘leave something as it is’ and to ‘not bother yourself with it further’
- Karamanero is Calamari (squid), Karamasu (to entangle/entwine)
- Goronda is Gorogoro (the onomatopeia of rumbling or something big rolling), and Panda
- Shushupu is Syusyu (a scrunchie or haritie covered in fabric or lack on innovation/stupidity) and Puchi (french preffix Petit.)
- Shitoron to come from Citron, and Zakuro is clearly from Pomegranate
***
OK, so we got Pangoro, Inkay, Malimar, Draining Kiss… Anyone still want to argue against the Pokebeach leaks?
Nope. I believe everything that pokebeach leaked lol
[EDIT – ADDED IMAGE]
They could be wrong about the professor being called Patrice since his Japanese name is Purataanu プラターヌ which can possibly romanised into Platane, which can also be Platanus. Plantanus is a genus comprising a small number of tree species native to the Northern Hemisphere (where france is located). And here is an image and description of a tree in this genus that is from France
Platanus dating from 1797, Bayeux,
Normandie, France
They could also be wrong about the second gym being fairy considering that the gym leaders shown in the Coro Coro don’t resemble someone who battles solely or with fairy types at all, “Citron (likes to invent things) and Zakuro (good at sports)”.
This is just what I think but I seem to have backed it up with some evidence. The other Pokebeach leaks are either uninformed, have been confirmed or they are most likely true.
i will slightly cause it says that koronda(not gonna call it pangoro till the u.s release it) evolves with a new method. while the leak say he evolves in the early level 30s. and In order to evolve, you need to have one other Dark-type Pokemon in your party. doing it with a dark type may be different but evolving while having a certain pokemon in your party is not. now what the leaker provided seems pretty true but i i will hold out on the names till the u.s release it but i am glad most of it is true cause i so want Starter final evolutions to be Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark, and Water/Fighting
I really want chespin to evolve into grass/dark
i want my fire /psychic fennekin
Who is voted this down, just because he is presenting his opinion towards Hiro’s Leaks (which aren’t 100% correct) doesn’t mean you can just vote it down because you don’t like it. This may seem like an extreme comparison but it still expresses my point, it’s like the KKK lynching African Americans just because they don’t like them.
Ok first came down, stop cursing and I never said there was any relation between voting down and the KKK. I merely said that I think that the people who voted this comment down did that because he was arguing that the PokeBeach leaks aren’t 100% true. It may be true that people can vote down as much as they like, I’m just saying that to me it’s stupid to vote it down just because someone has discredited something you believe to be true when you can just argue why you believe that it’s true. I admit it may have been a stretch to compare voting that down to the KKK lynching Black Americans but that is no reason to to start insulting me.
The PokéBeach leaks don’t come from Hiro, they come from MageLeaf. WPM said Hiro doesn’t have any info abou this Gen other than Xerneas, Yveltal, and Ninphia (Sylveon)’s types and Clefairy having its type altered (the latter info being still unconfirmed).
Thank you for the clarification.
if they wanna vote me down let them. cause i ain’t gonna put 100% in the leak more like 95%. i don’t want to expect some thing from the leak and then not get it. if every one wants to blindly fallow some thing let them
…. What is wrong with you? I find it very problematic that you felt the need to compare such a HUGE True event in the worlds history, to all the “realness” of a Pokémon video game. Sounds like you need to grow up and learn what’s fake and reality ( -_-)
Source: A black Pokémon player
I have apologised for doing that, and it wasn’t compared to pokeman at all. I compared it to people voting down a comment just because the comment discredits the belief of something which isn’t 100% fact.
And I am also a Black Pokemon Player.
so mewtwo is getting two forms 0_o
That looks like the case. Seeing as the Japanese site data says “M2X” for Mewtwo X’s section. Apparently, Mewtwo Y looks more like Mew.
yeah, it will be interesting to see how it will look.
M2X is just a file name cause M2 is already taken by the other mewtwo
CHECK OTHER COMMENT, IT CONTAINS AN IMAGE WHICH IS IMPORTANT!
A second form for Mewtwo?? Now I want see it!!
The only rumors i dont see coming true is mewtwo getting another new form, turning your 3ds upside down to evolve the squid and dual typed moves. I say the other new mewtwo form because i think they would have showcased that form as well in the new genesect movie in japan but they didn’t thats why i doubt that one. i doubt turning your 3ds upside down to evolve the squid because 1) Coro coro didnt say it evolved in a special way like pancham to goronda and 2) It has that new move that reverses stat changes so i think the squid evolves once it has learned that move and leveled up that makes a lot more sense than turning your 3ds upside down. And by dual type moves i think it might be moves like scald. That are a certain type but cause the status effect of another type. For example an electric type move that burns. Or a water type move that freezes.
Looks like MageLeaf got it mixed up when they told Pokebeach that the professor’s english name was patrice and the other professor who gives you the gen 1 starters name was sycamore. Check the x and y official website for the english names of everything that was leaked.
Pokebeach rumours are proven true yet again!
Pancham’s evolution, Goronda is called Pangoro in English, Maika is called Inkay, Karamanero is called Malamar, also the way Pancham evolves is said to be done using a new method (could be the one mentioned in the Pokebeach leaks) according to the official x and y website, “There appear to be Pokémon in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y that evolve in ways never before seen! One example is Pancham and Pangoro, but how do they evolve?”.
The only thing that was wrong was that they mixed up the names of the professors that they leaked, it’s actually professor Sycamore who gives you your starters and if there will be another professor their name will most likely be Patrice and they will most likely give you one of the gen 1 starters.
I’m just gonna list the english names of the leaked Pokemon and everything else:
Goronda – Pangoro
Maika – Inkay
Karamanero – Malamar
Peroppafu – Swirlix
Shushup – Spritzee
Geo control – Geomancy
Death WIng – Oblivion Wing
Professor Purataanu – Professor Sycamore
Gym Leader Shitoron – Gym Leader Clemont
Gym Leader Zakuro – Gym Leader Grant
Here are my predictions for what type Grant’s gym will be. I think it will be a rock type gym, one reason I have to assume this is that his hair sort of resembles stalagmites which are a conical mineral deposit, usu. calcite or aragonite, built up on the floor of a cavern, formed from the dripping of mineral-rich water. Another reason is that he like mountain climbing, but that one can be cancelled out by that fact that he also likes playing sports and cycling. One more reason is that when you battle him you see what could be the gym badge and the colour of it looks like it is rocky colour scheme. And that’s pretty all I got about him.
Clemont’s gym as we’ve all guessed is most likely an electric type gym, considering that fact that he likes to invent think and his inventions look as if they are electronically powered. And when you battle him the image behind him looks like a gym badge and it’s bright yellow which could be the colour of many electric type attacks. If he’s not an electric type gym leader then he has to be a Steel type gym leader because the inventions we have seen are very mechanical.
Visual Proof:
Is it just me, or are these new Pokemon a little off compared to the other 6th gen Pokemon they revealed…. The best word to describe these new Pokemon would be “Controversial.”
I like the new Gym leaders, hoping the one dark skinned one is a Dark Type gym leader and not a ground/rock type.. (No racist joke intended, I’m basing the idea off the jewels on his hair.)
Oh, and the leaker about Pancham’s evolution to a Fighting/Dark type is true as well… Seems like that leaker was legit for sure. :/ I hope he can come back and leak the rest of the info he has….
Meh. I guess you can’t agree with every design. I never have in any generation of pokemon. I do like the squids and the Pancham evolution. Not to high and mighty on the new fairy types that were leaked today. Here’s to hoping there evolution’s are cooler!
The dark skinned trainer is most likely a rock-type leader, as he’s wearing rock climbing gear and his badge looks very much like bricks. The background also seems to resemble mountains or hills.
I saw the Gym Leader´s shirt and automatically thought she would be our expected dark type leader! But now I feel defrauded seeing she is sort of climbing a mountain and the background points that she might probably be rock or ground specialist. We can just wait and hope.
If you zoom in the picture with the gym leaders…. you may see something like a gym badge beside the gym leader… It looks more Rock / Ground than Dark. Also, he has a ring lock thing for abselling
I would lean more too the rumoured Fighting-type Fourth Gym. In their description, it does say they are a sporty gym leader as well as Rock Climbing being a physical activity.
OMG yveltals move “death wing” O.O epic!
This is why I Love Dark Types!
Omg omg omg !!!!! *screeching*
Same! This is the best X and Y news yet!
Right! I was on tumblr and all of the sudden I get an email/notification and I saw pokejungle on it and I screeched (cuz I new it would be the leaks) and my mom came in the room and told me to shut up lol (it’s 1:16 am over here
Wow this is great stuff, I love skrelp I’m so happy I picked Y! And i Love all the new Fairy-types!! So, did we confirm any rumours here, debatable. Ho hum I guess I can go to sleep now. But wait what does the picture of kids trading whilst battling mean?! Please translate soon!!
I know right!! I pre-ordered Y and now today I find out that Skrelp (and the new pink flamingo cutie, who I love) are version exclusive! F YEAH!!! <3 *high fives for Y version*
definitely getting Xerneas because its fairy and majestic
Guys that pink bird makes me believe that we’re finally gonna get a flamingo pokemon wooooo!
Dark/psychic! Ghost/steel! More awesome combos please!!!
A panda with a cape!!!
That would be awesome, a flamingo pokemon!!
I really really really hope it evolves into a flamingo!
I’m pretty sure that it’s actually (Also?) based on a plague doctor. They would wear masks exactly like Shushuppu’s, that were filled with perfume. They thought that illnesses passed via odor, so by blocking the odor, they’d be safe from disease.
The version that has the Destruction Pokémon as its mascot also gets the plague doctor Pokémon? Sounds like a fun theme for the game.
As well as the poisonous seahorse, while the other version has the Life Pokémon and a sugary dog-candy Pokémon. I’m definitely getting a Light vs. Dark kind of theme for the games.
Flamingo pokemon, Sylveon, Cotton Candy pokemon… I can finally have a Kawaii team 😀
I honestly think that just the possibility of Shushup evolving into some Fairy/Flying flamingo has made me decide to choose Pokemon Y over Pokemon X. I’ve never had that happen before. hahaha
Haha, the opposite here– my love of Clauncher almost makes me want to change from getting Pokemon Y to getting Pokemon X!
That said, I almost always choose based on legendaries, so I’ll probably stick with Y.
i agree with you but my wife is getting pokemon X so i can just use her’s to get my clauncher
Similar situation here– my brother is getting Pokemon X!
Trading and using Pokemon in X/Y will probably be some of the only contact I have with him, since he’s at college.
I’m in college, but my younger brother doesn’t play Pokemon, so I have to trade with my cousins
I usually choose that way, too. I’ve looked long and hard at Swirlix, and can see some good it in. Spritzee will have to be traded for.
OMG!!! Xerneas is Fairy!!! Yay I new it all along! (In my thoughts lol) I am soo getting X
I came to look at the scans, only to discover that the site isn’t letting me view the pictures (in both Firefox and Chrome).
Anyone else having this problem?
same here…and on serebii the pictures are HUGE
It’s a WordPress issue. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. You could try refreshing, and if that doesn’t work: right click -> open link in new tab
It’s fixed, thanks
that panda is by far the coolest looking fighting type pokemon ever imo. definitely using it on my team now
I have to say, DEATH WING!? That is freakin awesome!! In other news, I LOVE Karamanero. I can’t stress that enough. Now I sit and wait for a Tasmanian Devil Pokemon.
I’m wondering what that’ll be changed to over here heh. I’d also like to know in what way moves are powered up by Fairy Aura and Dark Aura. just a straight up damage boost? Something more like the starter abilities? Who knows. Honestly though, I’m disappointed there doesn’t seem to be anything on confirming the rest of Fairy’s type matchups. There is that rumor, yes, but that lacks resistances, and I kind of find it unlikely that Fairy will have NO resistance’s. And then there is whatever the heck Pokemon Smash meant by it being ‘strong’ against ice type, which the leaker didn’t mention. However, NOT doubting the leaker. Seriously, completely called these things. Just, the question is, how much may have changed since he got to play it.
I would imagine it resists Fighting types, at least to me it makes sense. Plus, if it supports life, wouldn’t it resist Fighting. Fighting only destroys, and the Fairy type is known to be a supporter (so far), I think it would only make sense. Not to mention Fighting types already can take down a number of types, it would only be fair if it had two resistants Well I don’t even mean resistant, but wouldn’t have an effect on it. .
It’s happening again. Old abilities with new names.
Mold Breaker –> Turboblaze / Teravolt
Adaptability –> Fairy Aura / Dark Aura
One rumor mentioned that Xerneas and Yveltal have two sub-ordinate legendaries with them (Two fairies and two birds respectively). So, I’ll just guess the Aura abilities will boost the Dark and Fairy attacks of all Pokemon on the field. Hence, it’s not similar to Adaptability. Then again, if we assume that Dark Aura boosts 50%, and Yveltal uses, say Crunch, it will have 180 BP (80×1.5×1.5). While with Adaptability, it would only have 160 BP.
Also, it’d be interesting if you had to defeat the “sub-ordinates” first in order to get to the Legendaries.. or maybe a triple battle in which you should KO the subordinates and then get to the Legendary? Nah, that would be overkill.
But I actually don’t think so. Because their abilities activated when they are sent into battles. Like “Weavile’s Pressure”…. So it’s less likely to be another Adaptability
this looks so awesome i like how the professor looks and the fact that he battles you from time to time is cool and the only sad part is that i know the attack ‘death wing’ will not stick in the eng ver.
I’m still foaming out of the mouth. That Pancham evolution. Those Squids. That professor. That Team Flare. Those Gym Leaders. That everything.
I can honestly say I am a bit disappointed knowing Clauncher and Skrelp are exclusives, but I can say I did see it coming.
me too. i wanted skrelp. i have to trade with someone who is getting Y now -_-
I’ll trade. I prefer Y over X, honestly, but I prefer Clauncher. It’s like Black and White all over again. Frickin Whimsicott.
ill trade with you too if i remember too =)
ill trade 🙂
sweet! hopefully i remember this post by the time the game comes out lol
Dont worry ill come find you for that clauncher x)
lol not sure if i should be scared or happy to be trading for a skrelp
OMG is that that turn upside down pokemon from Long ago rumor post????
Looks like it. Clearly, that little owl thingy had its hat and ribbons turned upside down. Also, it seems that Maika has Contrary for a primary ability. Interesting.
naming the puffball pokemon LSP
I’ll die if the cotton candy pokemon evolves in something like this
lol a flying puffball? that sounds pretty awesome. i also hope it becomes like a giant man-eating cotton candy monster
flying puffball…isn’t that what woobat is???
oh yeah, forgot about that annoying pokemon xD
What game is that from?
Angels online
for some reason karamanero reminds me of empoleon just the shape just says regale to me
I think they should limit past Pokemon to exclusives.. making the new ones like that SUX! Exclusives don’t really make sense anyways just a gimmick to get people to buy both types
It’s not a gimmick to make people buy both games. They make it like that because the games are meant to bring the fans together and trade between their games.
Truthfully… Its both. Cant pretend they don’t care about money also.
I don’t know what the share is of the people that buy both version though. Could be an only 10% increase in sales.
So we have the turning squids (maybe turn upside down for evolution) and fighting/dark Panda (add dark to your team to evolve Pancham)….it could be true then
I’m so getting X now, the Clauncher thing kinda made the whole thing for me
(No guard…Honedge…funny Gamefreak!)
For the characters…how will the Team exploit and get money…hmmmm
And Prof Pantane (well Plantain is something plant related right?)
Robot boy electric gym leader and the gym leader who looks like dancer from gen V looks like a rock Gym Leader (safety clips, harness and water bottle)
a plantain is like a banana
I think the cotton candy one is the awesomist food Pokemon EVER… or even just object… it doesn’t look 100% like cotton candy but like a monster how it should =]
Let’s see if it has good stats tho.
Probably not the best Attack or Speed, but makes up for it in Defense. That’s my guess.
Betting it knows cotton guard too
Last generation pokemon served you Ice Cream!!! This gen we give you Cotton Candy!!! Gen 7 you ask…Funnel Cake!!!
I’m just being silly, but man this is awesome! Glad I chose X because I really need that Cotton Candy pokemon in my life.
It looks less like Cotton Candy and more like a fluffy puppy to me. It could just be the ways its tongue is lolling out, though 🙂
can’t forget… Gen 1 gave you a dozen eggs, Gen 2 gave us alphabet soup, Gen 5 Ice cream, Gen 6 cotton candy lol.
Then we have the random haunted items. The haunted dollbaby (shuppet), the haunted chandelier (chandelure), the haunted sword (honedge). The haunted TV that rotom comes out of LOOOL.
God I love Pokemon.
Wow, so WPM’s Source is 100% legit.
My only gripe with this news is that Xerneas doesn’t have Steel as a second typing but the fact it is a Fairy type and not a Psychic or Grass type HEAVILY outweighs it not being Dual typed. This also sums up that Fairy is the opposite of Dark and NOT Psychic or Fighting.
GameFreak loves to throw curveballs. Samurott could have easily been Water/Fighting and Empoleon Water/Ice. But their main intention is to do stuff that’s not too obvious.
I think in one of the Generation V interviews, someone explained why they drew Oshawott like a clown: That they didn’t want people to guess it’d evolve into an awesome Samurai-ish Pokemon. The same reason can be applied to this. Then again, I wish Xerneas is Grass/Fairy too (Which would also complete the reverse effectiveness.. Fairy-Dark and Flying-Grass).
So I had to look at another site because Pokejungle failed to load the pics for me…
I like how Goronda/Pangoro is based on a Bancho basically, looks cool
And the squid, I hope I can use the squid
Fairy Aura and Dark Aura power up respective moves for all allies on field, it looks like
