CoroCoro Leaking with New Pokémon and Information!

The September issue of CoroCoro has started to leak and with it comes a handful of new Pokémon and information.

UPDATE: More scans have leaked!

  • Namakobushi (sea cucumber & fist) It uses fist-shaped organs which come out of its mouth to punch!

Yesterday’s leaks:

  • Yowashi (weak sardine) is a new Water-Type Pokémon that calls on its friends to change form
  • Sunabaa (sand + boo) and its evolution Shirodesuna (name literally means it’s a castle, isn’t it?) are Ghost/Ground-Type Pokémon
  • Nuikoguma (plush/sewn + cub) is Bewear’s pre evolution and is Normal/Fighting
  • Alolan Meowth confirmed and becomes Dark-Type
  • Alolan Marowak confirmed and will be Fire/Ghost
  • Evil Team is known as Team Skull, they are described as “the no-good Team Skull”. They’re described as hoodlums and you can see the Boss featured in the magazine
  • Serebii is reporting that next month’s issue will feature a “secret evolution” for Rockruff

    • I think if its night /day ish, is evolves different during the day or night, not one evo that changes during a day..

    • But IIRC these rumours (ie the link you posted) have nothing to do with the chinese leaks? And nothing in these leaks has been confirmed? Yes I get that they predicted alolan forms, but that may be a lucky guess as no given pokémon overlap between the rumour and what we know, neither do precisions about how these forms work… People need to get their rumour confirmations straight or it’s gonna be the list all over again.

      • I can assure you that it’s no obvious coincidence that many of the leaks the chinese leaker had mentioned are lucky guesses.

        What I’ve explained about the typing for the final evolution for the starters are partially guessing, and partially from what many have speculated for the starters to be based on the typing when decoded from the Japanese Pokemon website.

        Of course many other leakers are proven fake, but that does not mean the chinese one is. So far, it has gotten many things about it right months before their official reveal.

        • Oh I do think the chinese leak is confirmed, minus potential purposeful misinformation. What I was getting at was that at least one (and I do believe all) the rumour sets on the page you linked to aren’t actually related to the chinese leak.

          • true…

            But I suppose guessing the possibilities for what GF would give us is all part of the fun while we wait.

          • Oh of course! Just thought it would be useful to clear up what rumours actually are confirmed and which aren’t 🙂 .

  1. I’m banking on the Chinese leaks being at least 95% accurate. So, Pokemon transferred from the RBGY games would have Gen 5 typings and stats and would be considered as the “Regional variant” of whichever region they’re from. I guess this means that an Alakazam with a BST of 500 is considered a “Kalosian Alakazam” and that the ones with a BST of 490 are from any of the past regions (Except Hoenn).

    This concept is very interesting to me. We’d be having Normal-type Clefairy and they’d either be Kantonese, Johtonese, Sinnohan or Unovan. This is basically Gamefreak’s way of saying “A-ha regional variants have always been a thing, you guys just didn’t know about them”. Not gonna lie, that’s a pretty smart excuse for introducing something as huge as Regional Variants.

    • IIRC this isn’t in the chinese leaks, it’s in that unrelated rumour posted below, so it’s in now way confirmed? I also think it’s an unwarranted complication, though an interesting idea in theory.

      Reply
      • I remember seeing “Pokemon transferred from the VC games will be having pre-Gen 6 stats and types” as a part of the Chinese leak

          Ain’t in PJ’s article, though I’m 99% sure he removed stuff he’d accidentally taken from rumours that were bandwagoning and weren’t actually linked to the chinese one (like those linked by Richard Haslam). This info isn’t in the actual chinese leaks I’ve seen, at least I’m pretty sure. Perfectly understandable confusion in these circumstances 🙂 .

          • Well it was fun to guess and share based on those supposed rumors while it lasted. I’m sure the real deal will prove to be something special. The graphs I’ve taken down because I’ve messed it up or have forgotten some things in it like the artificial island. I now believe it to be fake, but all the same it was fun to do to past the time.

          • Again I think it’s great to speculate, I just wanted to make sure people weren’t mistakenly hyping up features that were backed up by the wrong rumours, it being such a mess to navigate what’s confirmed and not.
            Other than that it’s a great discussion topic!!

          • knowing the english team for Game Freak, and from the look of Rowlet’s Final evolution, they would probably name it after Robin Hood, just like Empoleon reminds them of Emperor Napoleon. So Robinroot, Robinhoot, Arrowhood do seem to be the likely candidates. Although we won’t know until their official reveal.

          • Arrowhood seems weird to me because it doesn’t reference either owls or the grass type, but Robinroot/hoot are great names, and I’d really like if we got the latter. But knowing GF it might be something completely different and unexpected lol.

  2. This sea cucumber better have a good evo or else it’ll be just another pokemon I’ll ignore. And are you guys expecting us to have a snake pokemon? I need a strong, very colorful one (fast and lethal)

  3. Eewwwwwwwwwww a Sea Cucumber
    Those things seriously gross/creep me out

    But the whole evisceration fist organs have me…intrigued

    Reply
  4. Yay Sea Cucumber! Neat design too! The Chinese rumours are getting yet more credence, hyped to see what the other leaked pokémon concepts will look like… Though we should remember that there may be wrong info mixed in (remember the XY leaks?), plus as I understand the rumours is kind of in two parts so I’d be more wary of the second one (with all the alola forms in it).

    However people seem to be mixing up what the chinese rumours constitute exactly, as I keep seeing people evoke stuff from independent rumours, stuff that thus has in no way been corroborated by official info.

    In fact I’m still kinda confused as to what exactly the chinese leaks contained, was there anything that wasn’t in the PJ article? Anyone have links?

    Reply
    • I feel as if the Alolan Rattata line that is supposed to be dark type might be the case of wrong info mixed in and that he or she actually meant Meowth. Kind of like how he said Alola Ninetails was a Fire/Fairy when it actually was Ice/Fairy (a case of him intentionally changing a type). He could have intentionally changed Meowth to Rattata in his or her leaks.

      Reply
        • Well don’t get too excited, they’re slipping up with Alola Variants
          What possible reason a common mouse would go dark,

          Raticate would be a somewhat more believable Dark type but I don’t see it as a malicious Pokemon just subjected to a stereotype that all rats are bad but in reality just are trying to protect itself

          Reply
          • Well acording to your tastes they’ve been slipping up since day 1 hahaha. But yeah the reason that line being dark makes sense is the obvious thematic association of rats with being pests/being bad etc, and I can reasonably see it extend to Rattata. I could easily see it as being justified by “faced with dangerous local predators it wasn’t used to in it’s home habitat, Alolan Rattata evolved to be more aggressive and devious to able to fight back”.

  5. Hmmmmmm if this is actually going to happen…doth that mean I will get a true Ground/Fighting type Rugby Monkey?
    Georilla?

    I want to believe but my crusty heart has been broken too many times

    Reply
    • Well this generation has been very generous with new and unique type combos. So I think there is at least a couple more ground types that break the mold.

      Reply
      • And I don’t even have to look up the missing blanks
        Ground/Fighting
        Ground/Fairy
        And that’s it

        And the only ideas of those types are
        Mud wrestling pig, some kinda tackle monkey apparently (since you tackle them to the ground) maybe a living mound of dirt or sand with shapeshifter fists
        A dust bunny, a gnome, pink fairy armadillo, and……Land Sprite

        Reply
        • I’m still hoping for a nice Ground/Fairy for you. It’d make you hate them less. Or just accept a single one of them which is a step in the right direction. I’m rooting for that Armadillo.

          Reply
  6. So we already got 12 new Pokemon and 7 Alola forms this month and there is still one more video on August 12th. Should I dare to hope that they will spoil us with anything else this video, or will it just be a review of the Pokemon revealed today and yesterday in CoroCoro?

    Reply
    • I think it’s pretty much the new pokes in game footage, but we can still hope… Damn it, I want to see the starter next stage evo’s!

      Reply
    • Personally hope it’s just the Corocoro info, I’m really scared about how much they’re revealing. I would have been happy with just a little info each month, bu we’re getting spoiled (and somehow they still managed to keep massive things under wraps for a long time lol).
      I honestly want GF to drop their insultingly bad publicity strategy of releasing 70% of the pokedex in XY and every single new mega in ORAS before the games came out, it just robs us of the fun of discovery.
      That being said if they could prove me wrong on my prediction we’re not getting new megas, I would be ecstatic…

      Reply
      • well, we still have a couple months to go. Seeing that they revealed a lot of new pokes just means imo that there’s really a lot of new pokes.

        Reply
        • I really, really, really, really hope so, but I’d rather not be too confident. Remember when XY came out and we all thought the 72 new pokémon thing was a bad joke?

          Reply
          • yes but we got 70% like u said before the release XY. Well if this revealing will continue till the release en we will recieve 70% before hand it’s gonna be a lot right? Seeing that we already got 36 new pokemon.

            + 7 alolan forms

          • Well by this time for XY we had 29 pokémon revealed, and 6 or 7 megas, so I wouldn’t be too confident :/ . We’ll probably get more than 72 but if it’s not at least 100 new pokés I’m gonna be quite sad.

            In any case revealing 70% of the pokedex is always gonna be a horrendous idea IMO. And it’s not like you can easily avoid the reveals if you want to. The second they appear your facebook feed is bombarded with them (for me at least).

          • Oh really? did not know that… I was assuming we were at 20 pokes XY time..

            I don’t mind less than 100 pokemon, but they need to be way better then these 36 revealed. Only pokemon I really like are Litten, Rowlet and Rockruff. And seeing the ruined final evo of Litten, he’s no longer in the list. Also with Rockruff evolving in a werewolf… Meh,

            Only truly cool poke still is Rowlet this gen.

          • Ah that’s a shame for you, to my tastes the great majority of the new pokémon are absolutely awesome, even better than what we had back then for gen VI, and that’s saying something. Maybe the general design aesthetic they went for this time isn’t for your tastes, but hopefully you’ll find some new ones you love.

      • Big woop!

        I like in the UK, and we of Europe won’t get ours till 5 days later. Better getting spoils now than by the rest of the world who get there’s.

        Reply
        • Well I’m franco-british and will be at uni when the games come out so I’m in the same situation :p . (thank god because france doesn’t get the preorder figures like Game does hahahah)

          I’m not trying to avoid spoilers now, but I’m deffo gonna try and do so when the games come out. And it’s not like I’ll be rabid about it, I’m just not gonna go and look at full pokedexes, etc. I did look at them for XY, but that was because there only turned out to 30 new ones (and I got spoiled a bunch), so I wasn’t worth it to wait anyway.

          But it’ll be easier for me to stay away from full-pokedex spoilers when the games are released than to stay away from the officialy planned reveals and Corocoro leaks, especially as I’ll be busy with uni work and social life.

          I can sort of see your point, but I have trouble understanding how some people would rather go into the game knowing everything rather than discover it for themselves…

          Reply
          • I suppose is it’s all part of the fun, the get ready for what you’re about to face and what team you would like to form.

          • Meh, great as that is I still don’t see how that’s worth more than discovering things on your first playthrough, but to each their own 🙂

  7. i think the sea cucumber will be water/dark because obviously it’s a SEA cucumber and it’s colouring reminds me of a dark type 🙂

    Reply
    • My bet is on Water/Poison, Water/Fighting or Poison/Fighting. The kobushi (fist) part pretty much suggests a Fighting type and given the fact that this is a sea cucumber and their guts have some kind of poison irl makes it a possibility. I’m not too sure about water. There are already too much Water types this gen. It would be a nice little surprise.

      Reply
      • i was about to reply to myself saying it could also be water/fighting lol and i agree that we have enough water types already this gen 🙂

        Reply
          • We have Popplio and its 2 evos, Wimpod with its evo (I think it has one), Bruxish, Yowashi (the new fish) sor far. There will be more I think because of the big amounts of water in Alola. They should reveal an Alola native Ice type, also some Dark types as well. We have enough Water types to look at right now.

          • I want a cool fire type, because Litten isn’t cool anymore.

            yes i know about Saladit.. but just a fire type

          • Oh, yeah. I forgot that. We don’t have Fire types except for Litten. I’d also like to see a Dragon/Fighting, Electric/Fighting or an Electric/Fire type.

          • Idk what’s with me today. I don’t usually forget Pokémon like this. First Toxicroak, now Salandit. OMG.

          • Like female Salandit having a different evo because of the things written on the official site? That would be epic.

          • The only Gen IV Fire-type available prior to post-game DP was the Chimchar line (Magmortar and Heatran were postgame… as was Rotom, which could only be Electric/Ghost at this point anyway).
            My point: there’s nothing stopping them from only introducing one evolutionary line for a type (though this would suck).

          • We are also guaranteed another water type if the leaks do end up being true about the dolphin, because I am not sure how it can not be a water type.

      • But, call me a noob or something, IDK much about seacucumbers, but don’t they just live in the sea? Or at least in water…?

        Then it will be water/ ?? for sure right

        Reply
        • They live in salt water and basically just look like white turds. They’re long like a cucumber. Here’s the best part; They have two openings. You may think one is the mouth and one is the behind, but no. Food goes in one hole, doesn’t matter which, food gets digested, food goes out opposite hole.

          Reply
    • The fake leaker used other previous leaks to make his fake pokedex leak. Some previous leaks might still be true. The cucumber leak was previously together with a capybara and a gorilla, so those might be true.

      Reply
      • or he may have copied the info from the Chinese leaker.

        Although if it is proven true (which of course by proof by many, it’s fake) the gorilla could be linked with the rugby monkey, and that Copybara could be linked with those supposed leaked sketches staring it with the supposed Dolphin Pokemon and Rowlet’s mid evolution.

        We won’t know until they are fully revealed to us.

  8. Well the Sea Cucumber…. I love how it’s organs come out to punch, it’s gross and scientifically accurate. I’m not too happy about the design though. It looks like a Sea slug to me.

    Reply
  9. So the riddler leaker (cant find a link but it was mentioned) that has been hinting at everything from mimikyu to the legendaries and the sandcastle, also posted pictures of rock, paper, scissors merged with bloody organs. If this “rock” shaped sea cucumber that also holds out a fist (the sign for rock in the rps game) is the “rock” part of the trio, could we be expecting paper and scissors? Possibly a trio of sea cucumbers, or a trio of sea creatures, or the next two evolutions of this beast?

    Reply
  10. Fisting your opponents……come on now…….lol Anyway I really like its design. If it turns out to be a water type I may add it to my team. I guess we’ll find out on Friday tho lol
