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 like Sandcastle. Nothing wrong with the design at all. Same with mini-Bewear, I like it better than the evolution. Dark Meowth is cool, Alolan Marowak looks alright. Sardine looks good, but the “form change” seems too much like an evolution.
Best thing about the CoroCoro info is that none of these new guys were in the “dex leak” from a few days ago, so it’s confirmed fake.
Wait I just realized we have achieved team GRAMPS . . . F. Team flare ruined everything.
GRAMPFS
The sudden realisation I’ve accidentally retconned the name of the Gen 5 evil team. Dammit P.
F GRAMPS!
Damn you Team Flare!
MG FRAPS
I really hope that the fish’s form isn’t dependent on HP. they seem to be doing a lot of that and I want it to be different. Idk what I’d do to make it have the form, but make it interesting at least lol. I also guess that means maybe it’ll be a one stage. I though the bigger fish was it’s evolution when I first saw it. I can’t imagine them giving it an evo if it can just turn into a big fish on it’s own lol
Maybe the form is an attack from like aegislash
Could be. I’d like that more than after its HP drops. I wan’t to see it throughout the whole battle and don’t want to have my Pokemon’s health drop just to see it lol
Or it will only do it if you battle on or in water
Hmmmm well either way that’s a more interesting way of doing it hahaha. All I want is to be able to see the form more than just when I’m losing lol
I’m fairly certain it is the HP thing.
I swear to god….lol
I bet there’s a move it uses to summon fish to it
I hope it’s like Aegislash. Single Forme for attacking and School Forme for defence
I like the pink haired girl design, hope she’s important to the plot. And i think the dog’s evolution, having a humanoid form (if it’s really a werewolf), it’s’ gonna be rock/fighting.
Rumour says she’s the villain’s daughter. It’s plausible she’s the champion.
Personally I think she’s got something to do with Magearna.
pourquoi??
Because one of her comments was something that sounded all pure-hearted/princessy, she’s clearly important somehow because she hasn’t been identified with a role, and there were other rumours about her using fairy types.
Unless I’m thinking of a different character to this person.
but she was just revealed and we know nothing about her yet? Are these rumours? but I mean sure if those are the rumours thats entirely possible
Oh wait, I am thinking of someone else, not noticed the ‘pink’ bit. I was thinking of Lillie.
In exchange, I’ll translate the trainers names for you and then post them again as a standalone comment.
The white haired guy is Boss Guzuma (Bosu no guzuma). The pink haired biker chick is Purumeri. The sign on the two grunts is something like ‘Shitappa’ or ‘Shitabba’ and then ‘dan’ which means team (i.e. Roketto dan = Team Rocket).
But that’s from a leak that was proven to be fake.
Although the concept does seem plausible.
I don’t get why everyone says that Magearna will have a role in the games. It’s an event Pokémon like Shaymin, Victini and Diancie. Mythicals never had a role in the games and never will. It’s just there to be there.
In DPPl: Arcues, Darkrai, Shaymin
In HG/SS: Arceus, Celebi.
In RSE, Deoxys and Mew on their respective islands.
I know pokemon keep trying to make everything download only, but we can hope they’ll add in a bit of location navigating to get an event pokemon once more.
I guess this girl got sick of just being a punk lol
Archood, Tigler, Siremaid
These are the likely names I could guess the starters would be, based on their theme described by the chinese leaker… Archer, Wrestler and Siren.
(Archer + Robin Hood) (Tiger + Wrestler) (Siren + Mermaid)
I would hope for names that were a lot less on the nose personally.
me too, but that’s Game Freak for you.
What do you mean? It’s not like the kalos starters were Wox, Froginja and Chesarrior
True…
And we did get Empoleon for one. Makes me think all along that Rowlet’s would be named after Robin Hood because of it’s design.
They’re already less on the nose than a Psychic Cat called Espurr or an electric mouse effectively called FlashSqueak.
Idk, I think espurr is kinda cool
Don’t get me wrong, Espurr and Pikachu are cool.
I’m just saying that when it comes down to it all the pokemon’s are just wordplay and some of them are more thinly veiled than others. I’m not saying that’s a problem, I’m highlighting the fact that a lot of old names are pretty obvious/simple for all the people who have issues with some of the new names.

Anyone watching the anime ?
I’m loving how they are using Lysandre. He’s actually a perfect villian towards ash and co. So friendly and warming to them but so much evil behind closed doors.
YES! It’s been great!
I’m dying for next week when we finally get Ash vs Alain. I’m just hoping Ash wins. I hope he does 🙂
I hope he wins and then leaves never to be seen or heard from again
Haha I’m actually a big fan of Ash. I think it’s mainly because when I was a kid the anime just started so I’m USD to having him haha 🙂
Yeah same, I still hate him though, and wish they had someone who was consistent in their battling and mind frame, its like sometimes he forgets everything he knows about battling and pokemon and is just a big derp and then wonders why he loses, but now he shouldn’t have those problems
Never really hated Ash except for BW. Best Wishes was a piece of crap (sry). During the Sinnoh arc Ash was so awesome. I recently rewatched the Sinnoh league and god, he was good. I like him in Kalos too, he’s quite good. Don’t like his team too much though.
lol thats funny, I actually really liked the BW anime, sinnoh was fine, I just never liked dawns design and didn’t think brock making a return added anything to it so I was kinda meh about it all, but yeah XY was good, XYZ so far looks to be like the best they have had in a long time though
XYZ is certainly the most plot-heavy part of the anime so far and I like it. Episode N was something similar to this but it just didn’t feel right to me for some reason. Ash-Greninja is a very good addition in my opinion, the battles look so much more intense since it first appeared. It makes things epic.
Ash is awesome.
Ash will win. The descriptions of the episodes confirm it. They probably did it because Alola doesn’t have any Gyms and they don’t know what’ll happen after that.
And lose against the Elite Four I bet. Because if you let Ash become a Pokemon Master, then the show itself is out of their cash-cow mascot.
Well, the known plot after the League is about Team Flare and then something more about Ash-Greninja if I remember correctly. After that, it’s a mystery. Btw, Ash could totally beat Diantha, she’s weak. Ash-Greninja is OP.
Even so, he woudn’t be able to beat Cynthia.
Well then he never had the chance after Tobias.
Seriously, no one can beat Cynthia. She’s the most awesome character ever.
You’re too right she is. She’s even the inspiration for Selena and her son Karius in my comic series, ‘Elzeron Chronicles’. The inspiration of it is actually what if Cynthia had children?
I want Cynthia to be my mom ._.
me too. X(
Well to be fair he kinda already did in a way…he was offered the opportunity to be a frontier brain, wasn’t he?
This week.
Literally in 2 days times
Ooh nice thought it was longer !
The battle starts this week and concludes next week.
Yeah I knew it was a 2 parter. It will be amazing !
Yeah! I really hope that too! Leave it to Pokemon to make you excited about the possibility of the protagonist winning in the end lol
Lysandre is the best villain in the anime. Why the heck is Flare much more awesome in the anime btw?
Its Gas isn’t it ! They are brilliant in it haha.
Anime Flare is probably tied with Galactic being my favourite evil team. Game Flare is just bland. I don’t even know the admin names except for Xerosic.
This leak is rather underwhelming, imo. The only actually cool one is the sardine and even then I think it should just be an evolution rather than a form. Good thing there’s more news coming…
Maybe…. They might just repeat the news being this issue is supposed to come out the same day as the website update.
Well there should be more pages, right?
This is standard for CoroCoro. You think it’s underwhelming because this time around they’ve been doing official announcement with 7+ mons and info
That’s true…or maybe I’m just sad that the list turned out fake. Maybe it’ll be for the best, although I really want a dark/electric type D;
With you there; wished Quasuar was real d;_;b
I imagine the news on Friday will likely be them talking about the Team. We got so little about them in this issue so it’d make sense for them to add a little extra info
They might. I just want to know what this southern alola info is all about
Oh my gosh! I love that the Sardine can call on its friends to change forms! That’s awesome!
So I was on Bulbagarden forums looking at the Rumor thread and apparently there’s a person on the same Chinese forum that leaked the trusted Chinese leak. It supposedly from a different person, but he’s been predicting new stuff left and right even before April. He’s been doing it through releasing hints and riddles rather than just coming right out and saying the stuff. Like one time he released a picture of a Pikachu in a tablecloth. another hint was a picture of Litleo and Zubat. Presumably hinting at Solgaleo and Lunala. It’s an interesting read if anyone wants to read what they have so far. lol
http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/rumours-fakes-leaks-discussion-thread.214874/page-90#post-5938892
Bloody organs Pokemon lol.
Bloody organs with scissors sticking out of them. E for everyone.
I know right? Lol obviously it’s part of the riddle and won’t literally be bloody organs, but it could be more of a hint in them rather than an actual physical look lol
Possible abilities for Sandcastle
Arena Trap – boring option
Cursed Body
Mold Breaker
Inflitrator
And possible moves
Sand Tomb
Sand Attack
Sandstorm
Shadow Sneak
Recover
Earth Power
Maybe Shadow Punch
I see it getting the Elemental Punches. Maybe Shadow Ball if they go the special route.
Lord knows we need better Special Ground Types
Seriously all we have is Camerupt and Nidoking and Landorus to an extent
I really hope this one is special. Mainly to differentiate it from Golurk, and also as you said we need more special Ground Types. Maybe it will force them to add some more special Ground Moves as well.
Earth Power is very limited
Just asking Earthen, but how do you like the new Sand Castle mon?
It’s alright
I’m required by law to use it during my Ground Moon Mono, probably not going to add it to my main team
My hope it’s a special attacker with some decent bulk
Ah ok. I kinda like how it morphs into quicksand and traps the foe, it’s a creative feature they implemented on it.
And I being the mighty Earthen, master of creativity can utilize its potential to ensure my opponents fall victim to a sandy tomb
Fun fact, Diglett can use Shadow Punch.
gg Gamefreak.
Uhhhh no? Maybe you’re thinking of Shadow Claw
Third pokemon on the list. Lvl 23
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sucker_Punch_(move)#Learnset
You said Shadow Punch not Sucker Punch
And FYI Sucker Punch isn’t a punch, it’s a sneak attack
Dammit, meant to type Sucker Punch. Replying to too many posts at once.
Yeah, I don’t expect anything new. Bewear and Mimikyu had their abilities introduced in Corocoro (I mean their names at least) because they were new. Since there’s nothing about their abilities, I guess they’ll get old ones. Which is fine. There are already a lot of new abilities in Gen 7.
It probably has a new ability, like “Quick Sand” or something of the like.
In other news: Rockruff is still the best Rock type in the history of Rock types
The sandcastle should have one more evo (like one of those ridiculously detailed european sandcastles that some artists can do). It doesn’t look at its highest potential yet.
The hell is this? Alola Lugia?
Also the other “new pokemon and forms” I feel like I’ve seen half those on 4chan, so I’m saying photoshop
That image is fake. Someone on Deviantart made that of a possible Mega Lugia. Idk why they used it.
Were you looking at that fake sign from the ‘RealShigeruM’? 😛
Fake
oh my gosh, now I know for a fact a lot of the pokemon seen on this big thing are fake but omg who in their right mind would go through the trouble of making something so large when its fake, just to troll the internet, but if they really wanted to troll they wouldn’t have used pokemon designs we have seen like 1000 times before on DA and other places
Bootleg lolol
A store that’s trying to sell bootleg merchandise. 🙁
ew
I know.
If you look at the bottom, it looks like they are selling actual games. (most definitely fakes. >:( ) Probably contain games that have nothing to do with Sun and Moon.
or pre orders, although why they would use that cut out is beyond me
A bored Japanese guy who works for a supermarket and got put in charge of making a display for the new pokemon game.
I just saw these and I’m surprised about it, the leak wasn’t true I suppose (Aw… I wanted that Dragon/Fighting.. D:).
Anyway, what I think about this leak. To be honest, I love that Bear pre evolution, it’s extremely cute. The Sand Castle Idea is something I’m digging (didn’t mean it as a pun) because it’s another Ground/Ghost and also as seen in the leak it can turn into quicksand and trap the foe, which is very creative. And the Alola Marowak was something to expect because of the Captain owning one, but I think it’s cool how it has a black tone with a charred mask, as well as the stick is now similar to the batons they use in Hawaiian Fire Performances.
Really the only thing I’m disappointed about would have to be Alola Meowth, Basically it looks exactly like a regular Meowth with a different pose and a gray recoloring. Hopefully Persian looks a lot better (perhaps a panther?). And the evil team name was something I expected to sound cool, but Team Skull is something I’ve already heard in Mystery Dungeon. However, I like their motives, as they seem like regular criminals like Team Rocket.
I really hope Persian is a panther, that would be amazong. And as for the team, the name could chsnge, as skull is the Japanese translation
And hopefully the name does chsnge because skull is…bland?
Every team had the same name in both Japanese and English. I also think that it’s lame but oh well…
Darn:/ well that’s a big bummer, hopefully they’re a good team atleast. A lot of interaction in story, not some lame group that wants a Lil thing
I’m pretty sure there will be a lot of story, they are making the Island Guardians prominent to the story as well as Solgaleo/Lunala, so don’t worry
I was genuinely surprised that with all these hints towards alchemy surely the team would be like that, but as it turns out, they’re just criminals, something I like. Perhaps there’s another team, not part of Team Skull, who has an involvement with the legendaries?
Somebody on facebook joked about marowak being fire ghost, the cuboness mother must have gone to hell…
Tears
Lysandre Alola Form confirmed
The meaning of life revealed.
; n ;
Furadari (Aroora no sugata)
The castle is really cool. Same with Meowth. I like the sardine :3 more water types for me
OMG ANOTHER WATER TYPE LOVER <3 <3
Yes. Water and steel are my favorites
I love the fish too! I mean just look at it!
Im saying it now! Team skull are probably pirates! look at how much water we have around the region, their outfits seem very pirate-esqu and skull is just something you would equate to pirates, perhaps their goal is to basically cause havoc on all the islands and rob people and such
Yep. Definitely Pirates
Some rowdy douches who pretty much cause havoc
Yeah Team Skull are looking like that. For some reason I still believe that there’s another evil team focused on the legendaries due to all these hints towards Alchemy.
they could be involved in that too, you never know, after all skull can also equate to necromancy and that kinda goes along the same lines as alchemy sometimes, also his black coat could be a lab coat I suppose, (idk)
They don’t strike me as the intelligent type, I think they’re just some group of violent crazies who pretty much want to rough up the islands to their liking
Yeah same here. Maybe the 2 teams work together and Team Skull acts like the grunts of the two while the other team has the scientists, higher ranks, and the leader of the group.
have you seen the forehead on Plumerl? she’s gotta have some intelligence, her brain is clearly stretching her skull, lol jk
But in all honesty the two main people (not the grunts) do look like they would be intelligent
Well there is a pirate lookin ship on the map
I hope their motive is just to live mindless, loot things, break young girls’ hearts…etc. If that picture is the boss, gosh, I want him to be my boss too. He can break my heart and I know he won’t care. His careless thing will make me fall in love with him for more. Bad boys…always fascinated me.
lol cute, I always went for the extremely good sweet and sensitive type myself.
Stockholm syndrome
Just noticed the arrows pointing the people with katakana/hiragana next to them.
The white haired guy is Boss Guzuma (Bosu no guzuma). The pink haired
biker chick is Purumeri. The sign on the two grunts is something like
‘Shitappa’ or ‘Shitabba’ and then ‘dan’ which means team (i.e. Roketto
dan = Team Rocket).
Team Skull
I checked the translation and figured it out.
It couldn’t have been skull, skull is Dokuro.
As in bokusatsu tenshi dokuro-chan (Blugeon-to-death angel skull-chan).
You lost me at “I”
But brought me back with “Bludgeon to death”
“Bokusatsu” Remember it. Love it. Claim it as your title when your opponents lay bleeding on the floor.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm
What if the leader of the new evil team has a meowth too and it speaks as well? So there could be a rivalry between the two of them with really funny moments. I’d really love that.
And the leader is Giovanni’s brother.
Dum dum duuuum.
lol! That would be smt.
Don’t forget we’ll also probably get even more info in the video Friday, including these. We only have TWO Corocoro left until we get some S&M action!
“S&M action”
With whips and bondage and… no wait, wrong S&M.
Settle down Franziska
reading that “TWO Corocoro left” gave me goosebumps wow
This Pikachu
YES! EAT THE PIKACHU!!!
They probably use spectral forces to morph mounds of sand to ensnare prey so they can consume them
Or just hide in sand and wait to come up when prey walk by?
That works too
RIP Pikachu 1996-2016
To be inconspicuously replaced with Mimikyu.
Meh.. I’m fine with Pikachu getting replaced. Time for Mikikyu to get the love it needs.
The team leader looks like professor Willow
I know some people don’t see the point in renaming the alolan forms but i rather not have two pokemon with the same name in my team, So im thinking Mar-o-Wick, what you guys think?
That’s a pretty creative nickname, nice job
Thanks !! 🙂
Creative but I would rather stick with regular names.
They’re technically the same pokemon so i can see why, But in the case of having a team with two ninetales i rather have one nicknamed.
Frostales
Bonefire (like bonfire)
Or Marrowarmth
Frostales is good and i like Bonefire lol its almost like talonflame
Anything for meowth?
Erm, Meowicked?
Or maybe Meanowth
Better than anything i could think of so yea why not lol
Kind of weak compared to your others lol
Meowth is a hard one, i cant think of anything either
Meowth is a hard one because it’s not as flexible. It’s meow with a th on the end 😛
Ok now Meanowth Seems more worthy, ill write this down lol
Perrcursion (Persian cat+ Purr + Incursion) for the inevitable dark persian
You didn’t ask for a Persian, I could have provided one 😛
Persombre
Persinister
Pershadow
Perlevolent (Malevolant)
Percursion works too though.
I love Perlevolent, man you’re good
I’ve had a lot of practice 😛
Ill keep you in mind when more are released lol 🙂
Sure.
Snowshrew and Snowslash wrote themselves ftr.
As for Alolan Exeggutor:
Eleggvator 😀
yea snowshrew line was easy, i have drakeggor for Exeggutor Lmaoo
