This post contains potential spoilers for Sun & Moon
An unknown source has seemingly started to leak a handful of new Pokémon from Sun & Moon. These leaks are currently unconfirmed but appear to be source from an online video.
Could this be our first look at Grubbin’s evolutions?
[UPD] One of the new Pokémon appears to be an Island Guardian called Tapukoko

Guess each of the 4 islands will have a guardian and Tapukoko is one of them. As for typing fighting/electric.
I’m honestly just so happy to see new pokemon. None of the designs are bad in my opinion but I still don’t see myself ever using any of these guys. But I like them, except for grubins cocoon stage.. Wtf is that? A fucking block? I know it’s based on an electrical plug but come on? Wtf?
Grubbin’s cocoon stage likes like a cross between a plug and large battery imo
lol I thought it resembles some kind of an undeground train at first..

??
Just looks like a school bus without wheels to me
The new electric rodent could’ve been pre inspired as well but eh, ya win some, you lose some
*more inspired
Well at least it ain’t the spawn of hell like Emolga…
I would call it Egglectric if it didn’t have an official name yet.
If Cutiefly is Bug/Fairy, I will burst into tears of happiness.
So do you all really think this real I’m on the edge but the videos are so well made it’s crazy
I love the new ones still hope we get some Megas tomorrow. Just 2 or 3.
His tail confuse me actually Hedgehog suppose not have tail like this ,but he still the best electric rodent for me. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1467271412539.png
Getting a Togepi vibe from it. Might be a new evolution?
Pretty sure it’s because of the name
Obviously, but idk its face sort of reminds me of it. I’m probably wrong though. Not a Togepi fan or anything by the way.
Kinda looks like a chinchilla to me.
Chinchillas=unconditional love
I’m getting a lemming vibe from it for some reason
nope he have spikes.
he did eject dust from his body, and chinchillas are known to do that after rolling around in dirt. not to mention his posture, body shape and tail.
I am not chinchilla expert but can look at his name carefully.
It is totally like this!
Pikachu used quick attack!
Bruxish’s Dazzling!
Pikachu can’t use Quick Attack!
possible priority negation?
So Bruxish is a walking Quick Guard… every turn.
Mixed feelings about these but I’m sure they’ll grow on me.
I love minimalism but in all honesty, I want…less softer colours? Like Drampa, Togedemaru (what is that name btw) and Bruxish are all quite pale, while Vikavolt is lacking some striking yellow. I’m happy with simple but hopefully there’ll be more where the colours do stand out!
Thinking back at now I wonder if this is what they meant with going back the to basic because I mean some of the first and second gen Pokemon were kind of simple and didn’t stand out that much
Yeah they were simple (looking at you Voltorb) but maybe cause we’ve lived with them, they grew on us haha
I just want colour cause it’s Hawaii yanno?
Yeah I know for me even the whole charmander line is basic to be honest just a lizard with its tail on fire still AWESOME but basic
This is the article I was talking about
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/11/07/pokmon-art-director-wants-next-generation-simpler/
I do remember reading that and even then I was feeling a tad anxious cause I like having awesome tough looking Pokemon on my team too, haha
Well we’ve gotta wait and see. Maybe the simple designs will get a bit more complex as the Pokemon evolves (I mean Vikavolt, lacking colour but has an interesting design & concept)
Damn it that’s why I hate checking on updates when I was about to go to sleep now it’s 3:25 am and I keep checking to see if any more leaks come out.
On another note I like cutiefly,tapukoko and togedemaru but the other new mons need to grow on me especially charjabug
Got a feeling Trampa will be this gens Dragalge. Coming out of nowhere.
After looking at Tapukoko, I’m starting to think it could be a stylized Man o’ war jellyfish
Charjabug looks like it came from Minecraft…
This may be the basis of Bruxish. The Hawaiian state fish called Humuhumunukunukuapua’a (rf)
Oh, yeah, look at those plump lips. Think you’re right.
That’s a long ass name
Bruxish
This way less ugly than the in-game pic…
How the hell do people draw so fast?!
I only found out about this NOW.
Wasn’t the news supposed to some in July 1st?
Im soooo in love with all of this!! If your complaining I feel like your just being negative…
Russian leaker?
I think so.
the rectangle bug and the ball pikaclone look like living hurts for them.
the fish looks like the bastard child of gorebyss and feebas.
the valoo lookin dragon fella looks silly but it’s starting to grow on me.
the rest are pretty heckin lit though, especially the totem guy and the lil buggo thing. the flying bug looks a bit shape-y, but in this case it works in favor if its design.
Well, to be fair, the mid evos of bugs are usually cocoons or pupas, and they’re supposed to be protected and not move around.
I like the dragon.
Same here
I’m naming the hedgehog Pelswick.
4 hours till Animerush uploads the new episode!!
That fish’s ability blocks priority moves.
Tapukoko: Fairy, Fighting, possibly Steel (it’s a helmet)
Togedemaru: Electric, maybe Electric/Normal
Drampa: Dragon, but it looks like it’s supposed to be Wind personified
Bruxfish: Water/Psychic
Charjabug + Vikavolt: Bug/Electric, Vikavolt probably has Levitate
Cutiefly: Bug/Fairy
Wat kind of move Tapukoko did in this video ?…..it’s look like a psychic one.
Now that you mention it, it looks like Litten was turned into a sphere for a moment. That’s very Psychic-y.
Nice eye ….it could be Psychic though.
I want to see this pause in the video …. maybe the other guardians look the same or maybe if this one represent the head the other represent the rest parts of the body,then they can combined together. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1467273984320.png
that would be cool!
I wonder if Tapukoko is an Electric/Fighting type?
Look at this mansard mouth, almost the same. Although the color a bit different, but this is not a precedent, for example Tynamo→Eelektrik。
