New Pokémon LEAKED Before Official Update

Although the official new trailers are expected tomorrow, someone it seems has gotten their hands on an early version of the video and leaked some of its contents.

  • Pyukumuku is the English name for Namakobushi and is a pure Water-type with the ability Innards Out
  • Alolan Raichu is now Electric/Psychic with the ability Surge Surfer which doubles its speed on Electric Terrain
  • Morelull is a new Grass/Fairy-type Pokémon with the abilities Illuminate & Effect Spore
  • Team Skull keeps its name from the Japanese versions and is led by Guzma, with Plumeria being a Team Admin.
  • Alolan Meowth is a Dark-type with the abilities Pick-up & Technician
  • Wishiwashi is the English name for Yowashi and its new ability is Schooling which activates when something reaches a certain level (HP? Stats?)
  • Alolan Marowak is now Fire/Ghost-type and has the abilities Lightning Rod & Cursed Body

  1. This might actually explain Alolan Meowth’s typing if Alolan Pikachu is also a Psychic type. Remember what people originally kept cats for.

  2. I usually enjoy leaks but we were so close to these being revealed officially, I’m kinda sad someone couldn’t wait just 1 more day xD

    • I mean yeah sure. All the pcis we’ve seen are just little bits fro the trailer. We still need battle scene (other than Wishiwashi) too

  3. Ok ok… Crazy theory.. Remember the manga special that got announced, what if that boy is a young Guzma and he competed in the trials. The both have goggles and similar hood in the back. And maybe his rival at that age was Kukui

  4. I’m surprised people are surprised about the amount of fairies, it’s like one of the rarest types rn and only came out last Gen, so it needs to play catch up.

    Also, Hawaii is really a spiritual place to draw concepts from, so ghost and fairy are really appropriate types to pick from.

    • People are more concerned with the fact they they just tend to tack Fairy onto anything. If there is a legit reason for something to be Fairy, I don’t thinks anyone would mind.

      There’s playing catch-up and then they’re forcing it down our throats.

      Personally I think GF can do whatever they please.

      • That’s still pretty rare, especially since Fairy looks like its going to be a Electric, Grass, etc level rarity seeing as it’s being given to a wide variety of Pokémon strength and availability wise.

        Reply
        • grass isn’t rare, Id go more fire level, we actually have very few fire pokemon compared to some of the other big types

          Reply
          • Yeah I do think it could end up Fire level rare, its just that so far they’re really easy to find, in XY and ORAS you find your first Fairy before the first Gym and it’s seemingly already a starter type 1 Gen after introduction.

        • It won’t be 3rd rarest after factoring in all the new Alolan additions though.

          Besides, something has to be rarest unless they’re all perfectly balanced.

          Reply
          • Tbh its supposed ‘rarity’ never bothered me. Fairies and Dragons (and to a lesser extent Ghosts) are mythical, they’re supposed to be rare.
            Besides which, there’s still a decent number of fairies available, the only thing Fairy is lacking is a few type combinations like Fairy/Fire. Fairy/Grass, Fairy/Water and Fairy/Electric are all already available.

  5. Well it seems like the Chinese leak has certainly proven themselves to be true on their word.

    All we need now is the Snowman, the Dolphin, and the Rugby Monkey to finally reveal themselves.

    Not to mention the proper reveal of the final and mid evolve forms of the starters.

    Only time will tell.

  6. They completely abandoned grass type in this generation. They all so far look competitive useless and generic, like they’re there just to fill in the dex. And with a grass starter grass/flying (aka death sentence) grass lovers are screwed.
    ps: really like the sassy girl though.

  7. I really like wishiwashi school animations, it actually looks like many fishes working together and not just a giant blob of nonsense

  8. At this point it seems more like a marketing tactic rather than a mistake. Remember how much exposure the last “leaked” trailer received? It trended on Twitter and Facebook for days, with it actually reaching the top spot on Facebook and the Japanese trailer received more than 2 million views during its first 24 hours of release.

  9. I was so excited for this game but every leak/trailer they keep desapointing me with these terrible designs…I know that most fans now days only care about the typing and they will accept anything as long as it has a good types, but these looks very bad, I feel like its a reboot for the franchise, a bad one too, the new pokemon are way too cute to fit in with the others…now raichu is even cuter than pichu…god this is awfull.

    Reply
    • I like them personally, and I don’t care about competitiveness. From an artist’s viewpoint each design is unique and every detail well thought out. Of course, you’re entitled to your opinion, but these are far from terrible.

      Reply
      • from an artist point of view they are going too cute to the point that made the new pokemon looks like something from another franchise more than a contenuety.

        Reply
        • Designs and artists abilities change over time. No matter how you look at it, the style in Gen 1 are overall very different to the styles in Gen 2, which are in turn different to Gen 3 and so on.
          It’s been over 20 years, the way things are done are bound to change. I was thinking about this myself the other day.
          The Pokemon from each generation have a specific style to them, and they differ from generation to generation.

          • thats none sense, sugimori didnt change his style much, if you check his personal artwork he still draw in the same old detailed style, he only change the style of pokemon

          • Dude 20 years is a long time. No one remains the same in 20 years, it’s nearly impossible. Loads of factors come into play, which will affect the art style. From Gen 1-2 you may not notice, but the bigger the gap between gens, the more noticeable it becomes.

          • why dont you check his twitter ?? there is a huge diference between improving your style, and making it “cute”

          • sorry but thats nonsense, this is not how art work, sugimori did improved a lot, especially in figure drawings wich is why I find it odd that he dont do the same with pokemon

          • Ok, I’m not gonna say anything more on the matter. Ive said what I think, and I’m gonna leave it at that.

          • I’m going to say this with all due respect, but please stop saying they’re cute. That’s subjective, and while you are entitled to your opinion, you are ignoring every argument against you. One can’t argue properly just by rehashing previously made points, and not acknowledging the slight possibility that your opinion might be swayed.

          • personally I don’t understand how cute= bad to this person 😛 I feel like we’ve slipped into some bizarre world

          • Cute is again subjective. I find some of these appealing…some of them I don’t.

            Drampa, Bruxish, Salandit, Mudbray, Mudsdale are far from cute in my opinion.
            Also majority of what have been revealed are base stages, which tend to be cute anyway.

          • he is making it cute for pokemon, not just the pokemon designs but they are going with a very cute style overall but its hitting the pokemon so hard

        • Of course they’re cute. We’re mostly looking at beginning Pokemon. Back in the XY days most of the first Pokemon revealed were ‘cute’ because they were meant to appeal to beginning trainers. Besides, there are several that aren’t cute (although it’s subjective): Mudsdale, Gumshoos, Bruxish, Wishiwashi (school form), Tapu Koko, etc.

    • most people I see love most of the designs this gen, and it looks like its going to be an amazing game, looks like you’re the odd one out, sorry about that…

      Reply
      • like I said they dont love the design they love the types, most people that I see say that they love the designs to piss off the so called genwunners

        Reply
        • lol, I don’t think so, a lot of people love the designs, not because of the types, myself included. I don’t know where you’re making these assumptions from…?

          Reply
    • I repectifully disagree. These new Pokemon may look different from Pokemon in other regions, but is that not also true for real life animals as well? Personall, I think all the designs this gen are great except for Sandcastle Mon.

      Reply
      • no its not true cause thats they changed the style not just the designs look at raichus mouth and the old one, and how the older one had visable toes and this one just have a rounded legs with lines on them.

        Reply
    • There is NOTHING wrong with the new designs. Just because YOU might not like them doesn’t mean that there bad. 😛
      I personally love all of them from gen 1 to this new gen. I love Pokemon in general. 😀 Even the Pokemon that I don’t really like all that much.

  10. so… if these leaks are true, then the previous 103 pokemon list is fake (?)
    Or are these leaks fake(?)
    There isnt a grass/fairy pokemon named morelull in the list, nor any other pokemon with that type.

    Reply
  11. I think Pikachu will remain the same look. Pichu is the same and those two are pretty iconic now – granted pichu not so much but i think the focus is on Raichu so it will only have the new design
