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’m glad that list was fake, I really need Mimikyu to evolve ?
Mimikyu evolving is doubtful, it practically screams singleton.
So much hype about Rockruff and the “secret evolution”. I know that we have to pick one of the 3 starters, but I’m thinking about making Rockruff my main eheh
Could be interesting. Rockruff is a pretty decent pokemon (assuming they haven’t mutilated its evo).
I sometimes think they should do a game where everyone gets the same starter, like in pokemon yellow and pokemon XD. Either that or give a wider choice.
I will pick Litten, but I really like Rockruff! It really looks like a partner and you can see that by the new Manga they are going to publish!
I honestly feel like eevee should be the starter
I love the fact that people are raggin’ on Shirodesuna. You guys go gaga for a ghost pokemon with literally a cloth over it and a pikachu face drawn on it, but don’t like the designs of a ghost typing inhabitant the sand to encase its victims in a sand trap. Bruuuuuuuuh.
Mimikyu is the dumbest thing since Stunfisk IMO
Mimikyu has a good story for one thing.
Secondly it’s better drawn than that sandcastle.
It bugs me that everyone doesn’t like some ghost pokemon because the inhabitant objects. That what poltergeist do! Also I wouldnt judge it until I see the in game model. I didn’t like Mimikyuu until I got its background and saw the ingame model.
I’d rather thing the objects are the pokemon or else it’s like we have no idea what the pokemon looks like
Eh, I understand the ghost pokemon haunting or possesion objects. That can be explained. However, some pokemon looking like inanimate objects with no good explanation, I’m like….eh…
I understand it too, but if this pokemon is possessing a sand castle, how does it actually look like?
What does a poltergeist actually look like if they were a real thing? Ghost don’t usually have a material form. THey’re just there invisible to the naked eye or they blend in with the shadows. Depending on the legends or folklores you read or hear about their appearance changes. There is no definite description of a ghost.
The thing is that ghosts don’t exist and in Pokemon you would be able to capture it. It’s confusing to me sorry haha
My issue isn’t with object possession. I liked Chandelure, Rotom, Shuppet/Banette, Spiritomb and Cofagrigus. I don’t like Mr Sandcastle. It’s model would have to be a heck of a lot better for me to not dump it in my ‘dislike’ group. It should feel special though, that’s a very small group.
Again you need to judge the ingame model first. The way it moves and its texture may do it some justice
At best it’s going to end up on my ‘tolerable’ list, like Trubbish.
This is a great time for CoroCoro for me because my best friend of 10 years moved to Australia today.
This news and all the upcoming stuff will help keep my mind off it. Once again Pokémon helping me, Thanks 🙂
The new Pokemon are “Meh”
Sandcastle is dumb,and are regional “Gamefreak is out of ideas Pokemon”
Alolan Meowth is Ugly.
Alolan Marowak is cool.
I don’t care about Beware’s preevo. It’s alright
The fish is average, but what’s interesting about it is that The bigger fish isn’t it’s evolution.
All these Pokemon will look much better in game,though.
What’s most interesting Is that they Finally showed us the evil team. But I find it odd that they showed off the Leader so soon. Also, we don’t know their goal or anything.
This also deconfirms the Pokedex leak, so there’s that.
Some things we need to consider. The Starters final evolutions could still be real. Rockruff may still get the four types of Rock/Dark, Rock/Steel, Rock/Fighting, Rock/Fairy, because both of these informations were given by another “leaker”. The one from the list just took it to make the list more real.
I think that the Starters will have two evolutions and Rockruff two or four.
I am rooting for those Final evos, especially Rowlet’s Archer!
And I think the secret for Rockruff is, he evolves depending on which starter you choose…. Just a gut feeling…
That would be interesting!
My money is on them being the only 4 evo lines capable of following the player like in HG/SS. Just to buck the trend a bit 😛

Ororidori is Oricorio and Kiteruguma is Bewear. Your list is kinda off…
Still, that many Pokemon in the game revealed (well, except for the evos and Guardians, that are guaranteed) 3 months before launch seems like this gen will have a bunch of them!
alright edited it!
Rule 23: don’t put people who can’t read Japanese in charge of making lists of pokemon 😛
Oh, c’mon, it’s not that bad…. lol
Sore wa totemo warui
These honestly look very fake. Also disappointed that the list isn’t real..
I’m in the same boat. I really liked the sounds of some of the stuff on that list.
Also the dark meowth’s face looks skewed and the sandcastle looks like it was drawn by a 5 year old.
Yeah, not sure how I like these ones. The fish is interesting but I’ll wait to see in game models
I am Honestly very dissapointed with the evil team. They look like typical thugs not an organized team bent on world domination. The leader looks very generic,and they seem like an Ordinary biker gang than an evil team.
I was hoping we would get something different,considering how we don’t have gyms either. Really hope this doesn’t mean a shit story again
Looks like Mira got pissed for being trapped for so long in that Wayward Cave that she became evil….. That Skull team girl looks just like an adult version of her….
So…Team Rocket basically?
Huh, aparently if you choose a reaction more than once it registers more than once. Weird.
Well official confirmation that that list is a bunch of bunk
Cut the limbs off now before they grow nerve endings
Malco has already bet money that you’ll like the sandcastle purely because it swallows Pikachu.
(I lied about the money, but it made the story better :P)
I do enjoy the sand blob but my only peeve is the actual shovel sticking out
Also the Fire/Ghost Marowak does not feel like anything special
Just imagine it’s a zombie and it can’t think properly because someone jammed the shovel in its head… XD
Ironically that proposition would actually makes it go up in my estimation.
Earthen! Tell me your opinion about the sandcastle NOW!
Yeesh what am I show or something
Look I like it just fine, fine enough for my Ground Mono Journey but maybe not so much official play through
This thing was designed for you though. You like threatening people with sharp objects so the shovel also makes some sense.
Sharp? A plastic kiddie’s trowel?
When I was in kindergarten I had a shovel almost identical to this and it was made of metal. I can’t really tell what this one is made of.
Yikes. I’m fairly certain no adult would have given me a real metal trowel when I was 4/5.
Considering how violent I was at the age of 4, I don’t know what they were thinking lol. I beat up all the kids and even the adults on my very first day.

( ಠ_ಠ)–†
Hmmmm maybe this Sandoom can morph its body like sand sculptures and really roust opponents
Having various forms of Shirodesuna would be epic. The base form is just a pile of sand so it could become anything I guess. Won’t happen because of the name, but it would be epic nonetheless.
*Evil Chuckling*
http://www.comicbookresources.com/images/solicits/marvelcomics/201204/ASM1999684cov.jpg
A bit too much… 😀
It probably could do that
Oddly, I approve.
Oh wow, I’m actually wishing gamefreak would make something bipedal. Today is a weird day.
If it managed to pull off a professional sand fortress form it would be redeemed.
I’m now hoping for the Alolan forms to have different stats than the original ones. I would like a faster Marowak, Speed+Thick Club = Profit!
I kinda hope for that, too, but based on the official description for Alolan Sandslash, it kinda seems like the only differences will be their Abilities, movepool and, of course, appearance.
“The weight of the ice that covers its body makes these Alolan Sandslash
heavier than normal Sandslash, and this causes them to be slower. Yet in
snow fields and on ice, they move by creating a path with their claws,
and so they’re able to move with swiftness.“
I just realized that, although this is basing on Charles Darwin’s evolution theory of islands. It is also yet ANOTHER RIPOFF OF DIGIMON because there are also some Pokemon that look similar but are different, such as Fridgimon and Mudmon.
Frigimon and Chuchidarumon.
But it’s not really a rip off, natural selection and mutations are real things. Plus other RPGs have done it with their monsters for years. It’s even a TV trope.
true
The hell? It’s not a ripoff of Digimon. That’s like saying they both ripped off Charles Darwin’s evolution theory. Digimon didn’t even claim they’re monsters have regional or environmental differences. You might as well be saying Digimon was a ripoff of Tamagatchi.
Wait a minute, there’s a page missing.
Look on the left, there’s a page with more names and a blue foot that looks like it belongs to metang. Left of Bewear.
http://pokejungle.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/corocorosep162.jpg
That’s Sandslash.
Would have still been nice to see it.
Alolan Sandslash.
They still should have added it so we could see it, it might have had new information for those who can read Japanese.
I believe that if it had some relevant info, they would’ve show it…. But I agree it would be nice to see it…
The biggest problem for me we didn’t have any Dark type yet If Litten 3 didn’t have dark Dark type I will be pissed off.
Well, I’m also hoping for a Dark type in the new trailer on the 12th. Also a new Dragon would be nice.
I like dragon too but until now we don’t have any of my favorite type.
Dark Meowth doesn’t count?
nope.
Poor Meowth :C
All that breeding by wealthy tyrants gone to waste.
Also got to get this out there
That Bewear cub is totally stupid,
It looks like the unholy love child of a Muppet Baby and like the most genetically unstable red panda
But it is so dangerous that can kill 100 Pokemon in one blow!!!!
I’ll see myself out….
I wrote a theory about that below…..I feel u would like it.
I like it more than what it evolves into, but design-wise I find them both a little…awkward? I won’t be using that line in a playthrough.
My first reaction was that it looked like someone had stuck a vacuum cleaner up it and sucked out 80% of the stuffing.
Actually it’s suppose to be based on those plush teddy bears you get at toy shops or gift shops at tourist attractions, such as zoos, theme parks and funfairs
I love the new Evil Team. In a single piece of official art they have more personality than an entire generation of Team Flare, lol.
That poor sandcastle is gonna get so much hate. BUT IT’S CREEPY AND EATING A PIKACHU HOW CAN YOU HATE IT ;__;
“HOW CAN YOU HATE IT”
Because it looks like it was drawn by a 5 year old.
“BUT IT’S CREEPY”
Not creepy enough.
“I love the new Evil Team. In a single piece of official art they have
more personality than an entire generation of Team Flare, lol.”
That I can kind of agree on. The white haired dude looks more interesting than any of the team flare executives at least.
I’m with you on the design, I generally tend to prefer the ghost types that look playfully malevolent. Like Gengar.
But its concept is great and very fitting with how creepy previous ghost Pokemon have been. I just love the idea of a sandcastle Pokemon hiding in pain sight, lying in wait for an unsuspecting child to stumble into its hungry mouth…xD
Gengar only recently became one of my favourites because I realised it could crush my friend’s Gardevoir. Before that I was always half and half on it.

The hungry mouth actually is the gate of the castle ……I didn’t y ppl hate this pkmn it has many awesome details …..only maven fans can understand that.
Apache Maven?
wat u want?
Oh sorry, didn’t realise it was you *gives up*
Even so, it does seem interesting to think the chinese leaker has so far gotten most of these in the list right. And if she had also mentioned Sandcastle and Teddy Bear, it woud’ve been more believable. Still! if the different evolution for some pokemon are proven to be real, then we would’ve probably have gotten these results.
Please note that the names and the porpouse are not official, it’s just a way of describing Rowlet, Litten, Popplio and Rokruff’s evolution paths.

After 20 years, Pokemon is certainly starting to show it’s age and losing it’s shine. It’s now scrapping the bottom of the barrel with uncreative and unoriginal ideas. How very disappointing.
But hey, like The Simpsons and Family Guy, business is business! At least it brings in the new younger kids to feed on their slob and poo out the gold bricks to these now cheap and wits end companies need to survive.
Okay it maybe not gold, s$%t is s$%t afterall, but you get what I’m going here.
I woudn’t be surprised to think that their only goal for the entire series before finally calling it a day, is if they finally reached to 1000 Pokemon. They’re already reaching to their 800s, why stop now when you’re near to the finishing line.
“Pokemon is certainly starting to show it’s age and losing it’s shine. It’s now scrapping the bottom of the barrel with uncreative and unoriginal ideas. How very disappointing.”
People have been saying this literally every generation for 20 years :/
I think Alola is showing great promise with beautifully original and creative Pokemon so far. Sure it’s not perfect but no gen has been perfect. I don’t require a perfect game, just an enjoyable, fun one.
Sorry you’re disappointed, but Pokemon isn’t calling it a day anytime soon.
You’re right, they’re not. I’m still hoping of how this game will turn out.
At least it makes the younger kids happy (*cough* Japanese kids *cough*). It’s their main focus after all.
Funny, a genwunner I used to know said the same thing when gen 5 came out.
Not even rubbish bags and ice creams can ruin pokemon for good.
I will happily accept the sandcastles, crushed plushes and fish swarms if it means I get dancing birds, rock dogs, long necked palm trees and mantis orchids.
Look! I’ve stopped with Pokemon the anime and stuck with the game almost 10 years ago. I don’t mind about the sandcastle or the plush. I’m just disappointed that that list was proven false despite a few things in it that proves of it maybe becoming true. If you’ve seen my evolution branch graph for Rokruff and the starters below, you get the idea of what I’m getting at. It even shows that the type hacking for the starters from the japanese pokemon website is narrowed to one island.
I’ve never watched the anime fully regularly, just the odd episode.
I’m also upset that the list was disproved because I only found out about it a few hours ago and really liked some of the pokemon listed on it.
I doubt that the starters will have more than 1 alternate form though, and I doubt that’s what Rockruff’s evo would share in common with them.
So far my theory is that Rockruff and the starters are the only ones that can follow you around or go in a special area with you.
hmmm, this may sound interesting afterall!
Actually, I was hoping for Rowlet’s final evolution name to be based on Robin Hood because of how it’s description fits the character. Plus, how many pokemon do you know that are based on British things?
I suppose technically Snubull/Granbull are based on a bull dog, but those are only really considered British because they look like queen Victoria. Houndour/Houndoom are comparable to the black dog [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_dog_(ghost)] since they are dark type. Technically some of the dragons could be attributed to British myth, like Druddigon resembling the Welsh dragon. There’s the Wyvern, which Noivern is based on. And there’s the move Will-o-Wisp which is based on Will-o-the-wisp, another British (arguably English) myth. Then there’s the standing stones that featured in Kalos, the town where the main event of the main story took place, similar to various standing stones through the country.
Most of these things are things that people forget are considered British because Britain has had such an impact on the world that a fair number of our traditions spread across the globe and became common place. Admittedly, I doubt these were intended to be British themed, but they can be attributed as such.
You must remember that some of these things, such as Noivern, and the stone circles are not british, but mostly european. Stone circles, though not circular, are found in France. Many a Pokemon found are French based, even the name Pokemon itself.
Also that’s british are the dog line in Unova, which is based on the terriers
France may have many Menhir, but Britain has the highest concentration of proper Henges. Stonehenge, Mayburgh Henge, the Knowlton Circles, the Maumbury Rings, the Thorntonbourough Henges, Woodhenge, Avebury Henge etc
As for a Wyvern, one of the most famous Wyverns is the symbol of the Kingdom of Wessex, which existed from 519 AD to the 10th century. Also “Since the sixteenth century, in English, Scottish, and Irish heraldry,
the key distinction has been that a wyvern has two legs, whereas a
dragon has four; however, this distinction is not generally observed in
the heraldry of other European countries, where two-legged dragons are
entirely acceptable”. It’s also very prominent in English family crests, so I’d argue it might exist in europe but is probably more prominent in England and Wales than other countries. Especially in the West Country, since that’s where the Kingdom of Wessex was originally.
so would you think Rowlet’s final evolution maybe based and world be named after Robin Hood?
Yeah, it’s plausible. The leaked Rowlet evolution was my favourite out of the 3, but I’m hoping they were fake because if that’s Litten’s final form, I will cry into my pillow for weeks.
why, because of it being on two legs rather than two? When Typhlosion and Imfernape run on all fours. Also I don’t think the final form of Litten is Fire/Fighting, it’ll probably be Fire/Dark
Not just being bipedal. I also don’t like its hands or the fire belt, and I’m not too keen on the shirt or its face. I’ve seen a fair number of fan designs that I like though.
I have no issue against fire/fighting, it has served me well for years.
It’s also said to be inspired from Tiger Mask, one of Ken Sugimori’s favorite shows.
Also came up with some ideas for the Pokemon’s names…
Robinhoot (Play on Robin Hood), Tygressor (Tiger, Opressor), Sirelio (Siren, Lio)
I still feel they could have pulled it off better if they absolutely had to make a wrestling tiger.
I prefer Robinhoot to Robinroot, the current most likely name.
The other two are also reasonably good too, I can’t remember what the leaks are saying they’re supposed to be.
Archer, Wrestler, Siren.
Also, another good name for Rowlet’s Final Evolution, Sherhoot (Sherwood-Hoot)
I meant what their names were supposed to be 😛
I would have been tempted to do an archery-based name instead of an obvious robin hood reference.
Like Archileaf, Foliarrow or Bowing (if they didn’t get sued :P)
maybe for it’s Japanese naming, but if it’s based on iconic characters, such as Empoleon, surly they would called Rowlet after Robin Hood or similar.
Maybe Archood?
I thought Empoleon was just a generic emperor penguin. Weird.
Archood sounds reasonable too. Archery + Hood.
State of this troll
Look, I’m fine now, no need to rub it in.
So Muk, Seel and Ekans we’re creative and original?
Wow pokemon seems to have lost it’s shine pretty quickly am I right?
Man Voltorb and Magneton are super creative, a pokeball with a face and three Magnemites put together. Damn was Dugtrio original, three fucking Digletts, surely Gamefreak could ever go more original than that. A Sandcastle pokemon, damn thats unoriginal, back in my day there were just godlike designs that will never be topped. All these new pokemon look like fucking digimon good that I just played gen1, it was the best! These new types suck, back in my day pokemon had one type or rarely two and you’d just spam flamethrower and surf. You didn’t need to play… tactical ewww, sadly they have messed up since gen2. IV’s and EV’s whats that garbage? So unoriginal. What a pokemon with an interesting and creative origin that is not just sludge with a face or three pokemon stuck together? They really have ran out of ideas. Alolan forms? Why are they ruining our original 151 pokemanzzzz oh yeah I know, money and running out of ideas. Hawaii region? They must really run out of region ideas. What, sun and moon? OUT OF FUCKING COLOURS. 3D graphics? OUT OF IDEAS. OUT OF FUCKING IDEAS EVERYWHERE. #Gen1FTW #Gen1onlyrealpokemonamirightXDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Wow, your name isn’t a joke.
Seriously, that’s a lot of text. TL;DR
No that name is totally serious.
TL;DR: Genwunners should just shut up about newer pokemon designs. Their nostalgia blinds them. lol
Eh, I can’t disagree. I used to know a genwunner. He claimed Blitzle being a Zebra was a sign they’d run out of ideas.
Lol. You don’t know a thing about business if you think they’ll stop when they reach 1000 pokemon. You should really check out the top grossing video game franchises.
I agree!
We need A crab named krabby, seal named seal,a bunch of eggs and broken gameplay. Those really were the golden days
Fun fact: Klang’s Japanese name was Giaru. A gear named Gear. gg gamefreak 😀
Wait didn’t Corocoro say it was gonna cover something about the southern island this month???
There could be more pages, after all.
There’s one page where there’s clearly an Alolan Sandslash on the left.
Yeah that’s true I’m just waiting see if they do bring more or maybe this are just Pokemon from that island but who knows I’m just happy we’re getting more news!!!
More justification for my complain about them leaving pages out 😀
I know I saw that there’s another page not shown with the rockruff and evil page and the alolan form sandslash claw also
The person doing the scanning/uploading might have skipped the other pages because they couldn’t read Japanese and couldn’t see any obviously useful stuff on them, but there could easily be useful exclusive information on them.
Heck, even new information about already revealed pokemon would be handy.
Never mind just got.?
Sandcastle Mon is bae
this proves the leaked pokedex to be WRONG, as it stated that bewear didnt have an pre evolution, also there was no ghost ground type .
Yes alright, we already got that. No need to rub it in.
; n ;
If Rockruff does involve into a werewolf I definitely see it involving a full moon. Some sort of event in the game or area where a full moon appears.
Full moon isla… oh wait, never mind, that was gen 4.
My only hope for the Sandcastle is that it just doesn’t get stuck with Arena Trap unless it has the necessary power to back it up
Well, Dugtrio doesn’t, but it is still useful in OU for revenge KO. (As long as they don’t have any priority of course.)
Wait are you saying Dugtrio DOESNT have Arena Trap or that it has more then just Arena Trap?
Doesn’t have the necessary power to back it up. 🙂
Yeah…. The only a Stealth Rocker and maybe some fast paced Earthquakes and Sucker Punches
Don’t worry this pokemon looks so defensive.
Is it possible to give Yowashi Power Construct ability wat u think?
No
Shddup.
With this yesterday’s list is False cause Beware had no pre Evo.!!!!
Yeah, which sucks. I knew it was too fanlisty. I can’t believe there are scumbags out there who take the time to make up a bunch of fake names just for shits and giggles. So stupid.
And thier was no Ghost/Ground!
