The latest edition of Japanese comic magazine CoroCoro has been leaked and we are currently translating it for any new information 🙂
- Bear is called Kiteruguma. It is described as cute yet deadly. It is classified as the powerful-arms Pokémon. It’s hug is dangerously strong and people in the Alola region regularly put warning signs out. It is Normal/Fighting with abilities Fluffy/Klutz. It’s name is possibly a play on words for “to wear” and “it’s here!”
- Deflated Pikachu-esque Pokémon is Mimikkyu. It is a Ghost/Fairy type with the ability Disguise and is said to lurk in the darkness. It is classified as the bakenokawa (a veil hiding a monster) Pokémon. The body is black and the Pikachu-looking part is actually cloth-like and covers it from the sun. The article warns people about looking under its veil. It’s name seems to come from ears, mimic and ~kkyu (cute/timid sounding),
UPD1: A clearer scan of a section with Mimikkyu’s information has surfaced: “The reason that Mimikkyu resembles Pikachu…!? It modelled itself after Pikachu goods that were all the rage 20 years ago?! It seems it wants to make friends with humans just like Pikachu“.<3 PJ
FEATURED DISCUSSION: Pokémon GO!
You missed the most obvious pun of Kiteruguma’s name, “guma” as in “bear”.
The first ones who look like shit…but better will come
I’m starting to like these designs a little bit more. That panda is ridiculous compared to Ursaring and Beartic, though. I have no complaints about the ghost, it’s almost like Wobbuffet and Wynaut. Hoping they have good English names and descriptions that will change my mind!
Lol not a panda. Just a bear hugging bear
Red panda
I don’t see it.
The tail and the completely black fur on the front.

Looks pretty similar to me.
Doesn’t do it for me. I see the tail though.
I think the whole pink part (there’s a tiny pic that displays the whole back) is equivalent to the red on the red panda
Why do people keep calling it a panda? If anything it’s a teddy bear and that would basically mean it’s a grizzly lol
Mimicutie
Well assuming these are all we get from CoroCoro this month I guess we continue to wait for proof of the rumors to come. For Sun and Moon we’ve been getting the more important info directly from Nintendo/TPCI so it wouldn’t surprise me if they didn’t give the supposed info on the new mechanic to CoroCoro to release and just held onto it for the monthly website updates. I suppose we won’t know for sure until closer to the end of the week. lol
That panda’s just creepy.. Not a huge fan of it, hopefully it’s evolution becomes a bit less.. Oddly colored
Still waiting for a Water/Fairy Dolphin
My favorite thing about all of these Alola designs is the people in gen 5 saying gamefreak ran out of ideas
People love to throw shade around. It’s like a pastime of the internet. If you don’t like something then it’s not a good idea!! lol
I mean the possibilites are endless.. We still don’t even have a Cockroach Pokemon
Genesect
Calling it now, Mimikkyu’s future Mega Evolution would just be the ghost within it but clothless.. and more powerful, of course
Mimikkyu and Banette would get along
Not until Banette quickly outclasses it and destroys it in a heartbeat
Nah, like they would be ghost friends
Not when they’re told to fight
One shadow claw or Shadow Sneak and it’s done
Ok but they arent fighting because they are friends and friends dont fight
Not my Banette (if and when I breed one)
I would use it to seek revenge on all the ghosts that have ever wronged me
This ghost was like, just born though. It can be friends with my banette
Nothing but I will go out of my way to inflict harm on everyone of its kind
That’s a bad idea though dont do that
I don’t care
Until my demands are met everything that meets my gaze will be ensured a slow agonizing demise
Ok, I’ll prepare my fictional pixel monster to get hurt some how
You have to go into Pokemon-amie and keep hitting it in the face with stylus to toughen it up. 😉
That’s just what I was thinking!
This made me laugh quite a bit lol
Apparently that bear/panda is 2.1 meters tall. Dear god, that’s terrifying.
HUGS. NOW! lol
If I see that thing in the forest I’m running away immediately.
Not when something op just kills it like nothing
6 FEET TALL!!!! THIS THING IS 6 FEET TALL?!?!?!? My god…….heaven save us all….lol
Nope, it’s nearly 7 feet tall.
OH NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Whelp we’re all boned……good living with ya’ll…..it’s been a good run…..lol

I NEED THIS
People be fast!! lol
They better be flammable
I would put it in ghost proof cage and detonate it it from a distance so the curse doesn’t touch me
>ghost proof cage
idk why thats so silly to me
Well because if I said a regular cage some dumbass dink would say it would slip through because of intangibility
The bear is the first Alola Pokemon I haven’t liked, but I fell in love with the ghost at first sight, so that makes up for it.
Side note: Did one set of leaks mention a bear, or am I remembering incorrectly?
Not sure…..I don’t think they did, but I could be wrong. I think the most telling thing we should be on the look out for is a trailer featuring the new mechanic. If that’s true then all the rumors we’ve seen could very well be true.
the bear pokemon? keep it
the ghost pokemon? give it to me
nvm the ghost pokemon? keep it too
Do you think either of these Pokemon evolve?
The bear has to.
It is ~7 feet tall; how much larger do you want it to get?!
BIGGER AND CUTER
Actually 6.10
Thank you, I can’t calculate right now because I am at work right now.
To be fair, Bellossom became smaller than Gloom upon evolving.
The ghost pikaclone must
I tend to doubt it I think it’s the klefki of this gen.
Not a pikaclone
Given it’s height I’d say the bear stays the same. The ghost I suppose could, but I think I’d rather see it have different forms instead.
I’d guess that the bear has a pre-evolution, possibly Normal-type.
I could see that. I will say that every time we see a new Pokemon everyone jumps on and starts trying to guess what they evolve from or into. Not all Pokemon have evolutions. I’d imagine some of the Pokemon we’ve already seen are single stage.
If it’s Komala, I’m gonna throw up.
Maybe mimikkyu next evolution the cloth will become part of it
I wonder if GF will pull a Banette?
Or maybe a bigger Raichu cloth?
DeviantArt fanart to get you to like Mimikkyu slightly more.
That first one is so cool! The black and white makes it spoooky
DeviantArt fanart to get you to like Kiteruguma slightly more.
Already liked this thing, but the first art is cool
Is…is it wearing a cape in that first picture? :3
One Punch Man reference.
I feel like there was a children’s contest to submit designs into Game Freak and this was what we got. The children who drew these were such horrible drawers.
Well. The first two Alola Pokemon I don’t Like.
Agreed. These suck ass.
With the Big 7 reveal, I wondered what it is that Drampa is always protecting the children from. I think we know now…
Mimikkyu just wants to play 🙁
He is not talking about Mimikkyu.
It could be both…..lol
I was actually referring to the bear. I honestly see the ghost as a kindhearted Pokemon. It just doesn’t want to be exposed to sunlight, and honestly, I can relate. :p
Normal/Dragon and Ghost/Fairy
Drampa seems not effective as a protector
Um… This is disgusting. it looks like a child’s drawing!
the bear pokemon is so bad like no offense it reminds me of anime for kids
So, in other words, it reminds you of a Pokémon? ;p
Good one.

Does anyone like these things? I think they are the first ones I don’t like in this region.
Mimikkyu is awesome! I love its typing and its design is really unique!
Hmmm…. I don’t know I wish it wasn’t a pikachu and something like a bed sheet or something…
Yes, my team now is Rowlet and that pink, emotionless, cuddly, brute
I loved the ghost at first sight, but I actually think the bear is starting to grow on me. I guess my subconscious can’t stand to dislike a Pokemon for too long.
I think I am going to run Mimikkyu in my playthrough of the game.
It depends what it evolves into… I do like the type combination tho
I hate the dead looking Pikachu clone. But the bear is…. somewhat passable. It seriously looks like a child drew these. And horrible drawers at that. No talent, no personality at all.
when i said i wanted ghost/fairy pokemon i meant a witch or animal with witch traits not a blanket with ears
but is cute and spooooky
spookychu
ok i may catch one just for that nickname
if it was just the blanket with eyes i will be fine but is a pikachu clone basically
Seems like we have a pattern here. 4+ new Pokemon (or other important load of information) near the beginning of the month and 2 new Pokemon in CoroCoro. Maybe that won’t be true later on, but it definitely seems that way now.
And the trend of Pokemon that I absolutely dispise
Now I must wait even longer for a chance of something I like
In the meantime you have the time to start working on accepting these.
Why should I accept something I don’t like
But you got a big fighting type. And its a bear Isnt that 3 things you like?
And it hugs very tightly something you always say you do
It’s hard to believe that Earthen hugs someone without any intention of killing him/her.
It looks stupid
But i thought you were all about the lore of pokemon and what the pokemon actually does than its looks.
I am but I still have the capacity to hate something if I hate it
You seem to hate things randomly (except Fairy, that is at least consistent) so you just hurt yourself by locking out options you should have had. <3
What options
The only things I’m compatible with is Rockruff
Popplio is being threatened by being a potential Fairy and the rest I don’t like
Dude, you’re actually pretty good at this. How many times do I have to deal with Earthen to be this good at making him disagree with himself?
They go way back haha
Im half poison type so immune to his toxic behavior.
Better watch out for Salandit.
No you’re not
You’re pure Bug
After being attack with a lot of toxic i grew an immunity 🙂
Immune this
*Thwacks you with my club tail*
Nice one! 😀
The derpier the better
But you got a big fighting type. And its a bear. Isnt that 3 things you like?
