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
So we have confirmation of there being a royal family (that bred the Alolan Meowth) and something about princesses (I forget where that came from), and we have Lillie. The last queen of Hawaii was Lili’uokalani. Notice the LILI part? I believe that Lillie is part of the royal family.
I don’t know. Where did this come from.
Corocoro stayed that a royal family bred the Alolan Meowth, and I don’t recall where I saw the information about princesses, but it’s definitely out there.
Oook
The princesses thing was a rumor I believe. But this is a very interesting idea! What if Lillie is one of the princesses!
Maybe Team Skull kidnaps Lillie because she holds the key to the legendaries and you have to save her?
I like that idea. I could see it happening.
That would make her important to the story like the site says, but also keep her form battling as she doesn’t seem to enjoy it as much lol
Too zelda-ish
Psssh it’s such a generic save the princess trope that you can say it’s too anything-ish lol
Would somewhat fit with my (incredibly insane) idea that she’s somehow linked to Magearna.
I could see that happening so Lillie is involved with the story. `She kinda seems like the N of this Gen.
Wasn’t she forcibly overthrown by the U.S.? She might have a thing against Unova then 😛
im happy that the leaks are fakes
Well the dex list and that guy from Reddit are fake anyway lol We still have some outstanding rumors that need confirmation one way or the other. Should be an interesting couple of months lol
even the german distribution team email is fake also
Well yeah, but from what I understand that was confirmed fake early in its life as someone tried to email them and got denied as it was fake lol
also the rumor with lille’s father
What was that one again? there are so many out there now hahaha
idk but i know that one was popular
Oh wait the one where her dad is the evil leader? Well after seeing the evil leader I think it could still go either way, but yeah I’d lean more towards it not being true lol
I had a feeling they were fake, but even so I’m sad that a Dragon/Fighting probably won’t happen.
In my opinion, two Sandcastle Pokemon are very bad. Sardine is good, the idea of gathering together is good. I don’t care for Bewear prevolution, meh. Fire Marowak is insane, wowz, that’s the best Alolan form design so far.
I hope Team Skull has some bad boys to fall in love with, and they’re not like let’s take over the world types, but something like badass, cool, carefree, daredevil studs.
what about the sandcastles don’t you like?
Personally I like the concept but think the design just looks bad.
Idk I like the designs. They’re goofy with the whole gaping mouth thing lol I like the evolution more than the pre evo tho lol
They just sort of look like bad fakemon to me. They don’t look official
They are badly designed in my opinion, looks like fakemon as Ultron said.
Idk I personally like them. sure they look different, but you can say that about a lot of the Pokemon from this gen lol
Good idea drawn by 5 year olds.
I like the Sandcastles. They’re dangerous but derpy
the Sandcastles will be like voltrobs of this gen, walk over one you can encounter one lol
*slurp* eats you up
why 🙁
Because that’s what the sandcastles do. They eat pikachus.
oh, yea, Pikachus are gonna become ground types
; n ;
I can definitely see them being on the beach and sort of like the badlands from XY….hopefully less annoying tho lol
That seems to be general consensus.
Although my personal views are the opposite for Sandcastle and Sardine.
They really did get the bad designs out of the way early on *cough Drampa cough* I love these and the Sandcastle better be defensive like Cofagrigus. Or at least a strong attacker
So on thing I hadn’t realy thought off up until now is how the movesets of the alolan formed Pokemon will be. You think they get separate movestes or will the species as a whole get new sets and some moves will just now work better for them? lol
Well it’s difficult to imagine both vulpix variants sharing the same moveset…
True. It definitely a weird situation they now have. From now on they’ll have to balance two sets of moves each gen when new moves come out lol
I see them as separate species, so I believe they will get brand new move sets.
Wow, that list got disproved fast… I’m happy it did, It had loads of really cool stuff in it (that was an obvious flag too), but the lack of fossils was bad and I didn’t want to have been spoiled. I’m just surprised at how many people automatically took it as legit for some reason, the number of pokétubers who were saying they thought it was the legit thing especially was a bit sad IMO.
Anyway onto those designs:
-As much as I’ve grown to like Bewear, it’s prevo looks horrendous. It’s disproportionate head and strange face weird me out. I do appreciate that it looks more like a red panda and that it’s going for the teddy bear look, but they could have combined those ideas to produce a much better design IMO. Overall, I’m happy we got a Red Panda line, but kinda disappointed by the execution of it, it doesn’t really convey the cute awesomeness these things have in real life (though the cute but deadly idea they are going for is a nice one).
-I really like the idea behind the sandcastles, especially their hunting strategy, but I’ve seen a bunch of better sandcastle fakemons so these leave me a little underwhelmed. I do feel the in-game models will look better though. At least they have a cool typing that the base stage’s design reflects neatly. And for those complaining about item pokémon, a possessed sandcastle that’s essentially a predatory sand blob makes more sense than a keyring fairy any day.
-The schooling fish is a cool idea, it’s design works fine, nothing much else to say about it. Wonder if it’ll have an evo… I doubt it because of it’s form, but seeing such a small fish not evolve is weird to me.
-Alolan meowth doesn’t do it for me atm, like other people have said it just looks like a recolour with a weird pose, though I think that’s just the way it’s art is done, so I’ll wait until I see the model to pass judgment. The backstory is cool.
-Alolan Marowak has a nice design and a cool typing. It’s not like it was a surprise though haha. I kinda think they could have gone further with the design though, it’s a tad underwhelming to me. Hope we get dual mega-marowaks someday, with one being ground-ghost with a floating skeletal armour and parental bond, and the other with a flaming skul…
-Nice to have a confirmation to the evil team. I like the leaders design, but I’m not a of the punk aesthetic in general at all, so that girl doesn’t appeal to me whatsoever. The grunts are ok. In any case we have so little information on their goals and motivations that it’s just impossible to judge the team’s quality at this point.
Overall a nice leak as usual, though it’s probably the one that leaves me the most underwhelmed by the new pokémon.. But that’s not to say they’re bad at all, this gen has set the bar ridiculously high!
Wow good morning fellow junglers. So this is interesting… I’m not sure how I feel about team skull yet but how many leaks does this disapprove?
All of them
Not all of them lol
But they also don’t corroborate any leaks, so if the leaks were never proven real, they are not real now. Therefore all the leaks currently stand as dispoven
……semantics my friend lol
The Chinese leaks?
No, someone posted a link down there. Chinese leak (IDK which one) hinted sandcastles before.
Just a few if I remember correctly. The list and that Reddit guy from what I see
someone guess the english names for this pokemon cause i need to snatch their urls on tumblr
I hope the pre is Cubtion, Like caution
I want the big castle to be called “frightress”
Castlecomb (castle+ catacomb) is all I can think of.
so bascially we are gonna get a episode of the anime, where meowth gets painted purple to be the Royal Family meowth, that somehow ran way, Ash and CO finds hers and royal family finds out meowth is fake, ash battles team rockets, the blast off, the end
yup lol
what do you guys think of the new Pokemon shown?
Mine goes
– yowashi
– sandcastle Pokemon
– bewear’ pre evolution (I hate it)
And what do you guys think of the new evil team?
I love the bear
Double love lol
Im calling it Cubtion for now
I’m glad you like it… For some reason I’m not feeling it, but what do you think of the evil team?
its good, but we know their pokemon are gonna be overused
It looks cute yet Marowak has become most epic Alolan yet Meowth looks high
High on arrogance. It looks stuck-up.
It looks good but its eyes are weird!
That’s kind of the point.
It’s going to be owned by those kinds of trainers that ‘back of hand over mouth’ ohohoho laugh. http://data.whicdn.com/images/125845415/large.jpg

Ah~ My favorite anime laugh. I love those characters.
The Ojou-sama laugh.
Sandcastle is Love
Sardine is … meh
Mini Bewear is …. No
Alolan Meowth is … meh
Alolan Marrowack is Good
Team Skull sounds cool. Probably pirate themed
Yeah I love marowaks design!!! Meowth is meh. What about the evil team?
I absolutely adore the sardine and will definitely have one on my team. The sand castles are alright; if I like their in-game models I’ll probably use one. Bewear’s pre-evo is creepy because of its mouth, but again, I need to see it in-game.
I like tiny form the other is weird for me
I thought so too until I realized it’s just a school of smaller fish. I love the idea!
I noticed one of his fins looks like a dolphin so if no Dolphins this time we got something
Dislike sandcastle, sardine and squashed plush toy.
Undecided about Meowth
Marowak is good but would prefer fire/ground.
New evil team’s boss is good, rest are meh
Fish is ok, I guess.
Bewear’s prevo is adorable.
Sandcastle is not even something to get angry at. It’s just a sandcastle.
i love the new pokemon!!
*baby bewear appears*:
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j270/J36/fol2.gif
bewear is the best pokemon revealed this gen though…
It’s cute
Well, next month we will have full hard proof the recent leaks are 100% real. . . That should be interesting.
Which leaks these or the full Pokedex leaks?
not the dex, as that is proven to be fake.
Oh I knew that but I didn’t know if he did but these are official this was Corocoro and is on serebii already
The ones everyone was talking about prior to the dex. If they in fact show Rockruff has multiple “forms” or even if they show just one and hint at the rest, if the types match, it’d be pretty safe to assume everything tied to that leak is real. Granted, we may even find that out Friday if they reveal something other than these mons from CoroCoro.
Rockruff with different forms I’d like slot!
Pokemon company: “we were joking, this is littens final evo, surprise.”
The Pokmon company haven’t revealed Littens final evo yet.
Not officialy, but pretty much certain Whos fukking up my dream
ADHHAFHAHF This is absolutely perfect. And we’re getting cancer bipedal WWE Tony the Tiger instead… Why GF, WHY? You had one job!
I’m not narrow minded, I’m not a person that is close to new things but but but this is better in my opinion. I love when Pokemon are more animal, less human, especially when it’s based on animal.
Yes I agree with u on that one. Thats why Gen1 is my favorite gen still
especially when it comes to the starters…Not everything needs to be humanoid gf……….
Love it!
If this were the real deal I’d be a happy person.
i love baby sand castle but fully evolved sand castle could have been polished
I just think the spade in big sandcastle looks weird.
I mainly like that fact that the towers resemble hands.
i think thats the point
I know, that’s one of the reasons I like it so much.
what i dont like its his shell mustache and how they made three doors on top instead of two
That actually doesn’t bother me at all. The moustache is not glaring, and it’s easy to see the two top doors that resemble eys, so the third one doesn’t make it look that strange. Just my opinion based on what I see in the scans.
i feel that the 3D model will make it look so much better. but i lowkey love them
I actually really like them. Probably my second or third favourite Gen 7 mon after Rockruff and possibly Mudsdale (not a fan of Mudbray though)
My team may look like this
Rowlet
Rockruff
Sandcastle
i like having fire/grass/water/ground pokemon that are dual type so my team rn is probably going to be rowlett, salandrit, wimpod, and sandcastle. i probably pick a random fairy ice dragon or dark pokemon to fill the last two spots
I don’t really have a system. I pick the Pokemon I really like, but I try to avoid overlapping weaknesses, but seriously the Rock and ground types have been pretty cool this gen in my opinion. Can’t avoid all the water weaknesses.
Spade…? It’s a shovel bruh…
Twitter ffs
Notice on the Sandcastle page to the very left – there’s two more Pokemon that could be revealed it seems.. One with a blue claw on the very bottom and one that’s white. And there’s two brown name tags for them
those are the Alolan forms
The claw is Alolan Sandslash.
Oh 🙁
You’re right! And the top one looks like ninetails white tail. Thank you for clearing that up 🙂
I think ur one to something,
Alolan golduck?
gg. we are now able to catch cubone’s dead mothers
the leaks @me for believing the rumours
https://67.media.tumblr.com/e4cff9be265dc4cece47da87df444788/tumblr_o989tb5MEM1ugl21co1_500.gif
i love everything we got from pokemon, but the royal family that breed the alolan meowth i want to know more about them. Like are they the royals of the alola region or does lilie for some reason i dont know why has something to do with this royal family?
Probably the actual royal family, based off the actual hawaiian royals, which were still around for a long time after it actually became a state in the US, and with lillie being such light skinned, I don’t think she’s going to have much or any connection to them
For everyone that hates the Sand castle Pokemon and sees it as GF running out of ideas I suggest you look up the Japanese concept of a Tsukumogami 🙂
i for one dont hate it, i’m grateful because its a sand castle… in my country especially summer time thats what we build, and then we have contest.
And sandcastles are awesome!!! I personally think it was a really cool and unique way to make a ghost/ground type!
Best Designs and Unique Creative designs will always be “running out of ideas” to people
No kidding, the amount of disdain and hate towards it just runs me the wrong way. Some of those same people will make excuses for magneton and dugtrio tho
-___-
yea Bewear line is simple and odd, but its simple so it fits, the sand castles are cool.
Bewear is a good design, the sandcastle is not.
Bewear’s design is absolutely horrendous and looks like it shouldn’t exist in the pokemon universe.
I’m still trying to get used to Bewear. It just doesn’t feel like a pokemon
Welp, I have a different opinion.
There’s ideas and there’s designs.
Sandcastle pokemon – good idea.
The designs presented here – bad implementation of a good concept.
Same for the fish.
saw this on DeviantArt. just look at that beast <3
Looks better than the official drawing at least. Still feels a tiny bit off.
So this is probably the new muk…
CallING it now bewear pretty evo is gonna be named belittle
I like belittle but i also like Cubtion since Cub+Caution
Oooh I like that one! 🙂
One friend on Deviantart told me this about the Dex. I just want to see of what you think of it
The weird thing is the dex leak has names that fit the new reveals softle, panquake, pesp and Peskool(which can be it’s forms name) still I’m gonna see if their English names are the same they probably either guess the typings or took out Beware’s pre evo to not get in trouble by Gamefreak who knows what they were thinking.
Peskool maybe but panquake has nothing to do with a castle.
maybe, but if you look at the name closely, you might see a clue somewhere, like… (Pandora + earthquake)
Pandora? Like the box? What does that have to do with a castle. And why make a name that sounds so much like pancake and not have it be one.
yeah that’s what I thought as well
nah the leak has to be fake
then perhaps look at the names more closely. We havn’t gotten the picture of them yet, so there could be a chance.
they wouldn’t leave out one pokemon just to get in trouble by gamefreak. he would get more in trouble over the fact he could of leaked the various typing
true
i rather have whole dex leak then a feature that pokemon can be a different type depending on the island lol.
The different type depending on the island might still be true tho… The wording surrounding Rockruff’s supposed “secret evolution” very deliberately states it as “a* secret evolution”. Possibly implying more than one
As much as I liked the leaked dex and wanted it to be real, this is pretty conclusive evidence to the contrary. Softle and Panquakes names don’t really fit and neither do their typings.
yeah, I know of what you mean. Sounds to me like a pancake turtle
Pesp evolved into Peskool, but Yowashi doesn’t evolve into its School Form.
It’s an ability, so that kinda cancels that out.
Alola Diglett
XD
The sad thing is I think Diglakitu is believeable
The reason for its adaptation could be that the underground of the Alolan islands was too hot for the little guys, so it decided to cool off and enjoy the breeze in the clouds lol.
I just wanted one non-kanto Pokemon to get a new form to show that anything is possible. Just giving them to first gen Pokemon is lame.
Also, Megas. I need Megas!
Megas might be in it, just not new ones
i swear if Cubiton(Bewear pre) does flair its little arms trying to attack in the games i will be very upset
*doesn’t
