Pokémon the Movie Hoopa and the Clash of Legends opened today in Japan and its screening has brought the reveal of a brand new Pokémon. At the end of the movie a preview for next year’s film is shown and a bright green creature bounces around the logo. This is in addition to the new shadowy form that was shown in this month’sCoroCoro, which is believed to be a Zygarde forme.
There are no screenshots, but Serebii’s friend has drawn an ‘accurate’ picture (left) and Gin from Sunyshore has quickly drawn what it looked like (right).
Hopefully we’ll get a clearer view of what was actually shown soon.

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Just join already!
Hey all, I think I know what the two forms
are, at least as much as I can based on existing evidence. Both pokemon shown
in the teaser are forms of zygarde.
Firstly,
and this may seem like sidetracking but I promise it isn’t, a few months ago,
Pokebeach revealed that the next TCG set will be the start of the “XY
Break” era. It will be a split set called XY Break: Blue Impact and XY
Break: Red Flash, starring Mewtwo’s megas. This new set introduces a new
mechanic called Break Evolution: “In
order to Break Evolve, you need the BREAK card, the pre-evolved Pokemon, and
the Evolved Pokemon”. I think that Break evolution will be a
new form of mega evolution, that uses the pre-evolved form in place of a mega
stone (All break evolvable pokemon revealed so far are at the end of their
evolution chain, Raichu, Golduck, Luxray, Zoroark, Chesnaught and Noivern). But
Zygarde doesn’t have Pre-evolutions, I hear you say. But we don’t know it’s
connection to Xerneas and Yveltal. They could potentially allow Zygarde to
Break evolve into more powerful forms.
Going into Zygarde’s mythology, it maintains the balance between life and
death. It also has two signature moves that seem to be designed to counter land
based oppponents (Thousand Waves) and airborne ones (Thousand Arrows).
It seems to be common consensus amongst
the fandom, that the giant pokemon is the Thousand Arrows form. I agree with
this, as it appears to have several spikes on its head, along with the four
arms. The Giant is Zygarde Break X, which borrows power from Xerneas. This makes
sense, if you consider that Zygarde is taking power from life (which is why it
grows), to defeat death.
The blob is the opposite. If you watch the animation for Thousand Waves, the
user turns into several small particles (or blobs, perhaps) and attacks the
opponent. If the population of the ecosystem gets too large, Zygarde becomes a
bacterium using Yveltal’s powers, to reduce it. It’s also worth pointing out that the blob pokemon has a red stomach. Which member is red? Yveltal!
Something with the doors we can’t open at the sandstorm place in Kalos?
