RUMOR ALERT: The information contained in this post is based on speculation, not fact. Please treat it as such and do not interpret it as confirmed news. We post rumors for discussion purposes ONLY. Why do we post information that isn’t confirmed? The answer is here.
A 4chan post, which has since been deleted (why?) and any re-posts as well (plot thickening intensifies), was made by someone claiming to have seen September’s trailer which included several new Pokémon.
Here is a quick recap:
- Loboxter is a Fighting-type Pokémon and serves as a counterpart to Crabrawler; they will be version exclusives and Loboxter will be found in Sun, while Crabrawler will be found in Moon.
- Dulfrost is an Ice/Ghost-type Pokémon
- Uhaku is the evolution of Rockaby, which was featured in the ‘Artleaker’ rumor last week.
To be perfectly honest, the Loboxter concept is amazing. Even if it is fake, it is one of the reasons I find post rumors interesting: is this not a great idea?? Uhaku is very similar to the tiki stones seen in the trailers, which could mean the poster just copied the design or it could be evidence in its favor.

FEATURED DISCUSSION: PokéJokes
I like Loboxter better than Crabrawler xD Crabrawler is just an awkward name that feels like I’m saying crabrarwer
Now it really sounds like Rocky. LOL
How are all these “leakers” such good drawers?
Artists aren’t THAT rare are they?
No, but it’s strange that both of these leakers seem to have a lot of sketching experience and great memories, so it’s fishy. I’m a decent drawer, but I’m the exception among people I know.
I agree, it’s a bit too convenient.
They’re way too detailed to be drawn from memory.
The NX is definitely involved in the timing of this 3DS stuff. They need to get that out of the way before the big guns come out. I wonder how they have enough content for this, though? (Of course Pokemon will be there). They could announce the date of the NX reveal if it’s in September! Oh my god, I would lose my mind.
Nintendo said No NX news.
The NX being announced in September is really bad timing now, since PlayStation event is coming up in September to announce the next PlayStation, PSNeo and the Slim version of the ps4
the PS is the 7th nx is after so nx will steal light away
I kinda really like that lobster. reminds me of don Flamenco.
it got the John Sullivan mustache
hm. Seeing these twos boxer pokemon gets me thinking. if its real could we see a pre evolution where the version decides what it evolves into?
I would hope not. If I get a pre-evo of a Pokémon, it should be able to evolve into any of its (already released) evolutions, regardless of what version I’m playing. That’s why I’m still miffed over not being able to evolve Eevee into Leafeon or Glaceon or Magneton into Magnezone, etc in HGSS.
To be honest I’m surprised they didn’t expand on the power plant in Kanto and let Magneton evolve there
or even kalos for that matter, their were alot of closed doors on that place apart from one that we could open and fight team flare in, now that sun and moon are almost coming, kalos and its lack of stuff like the power plant hasn’t been expanded on at all. which is kind of a shame considering zyarde in in sun and moon aswel as part of the story.
And what would the prevo be? A prawn?
If the “Riddler” leaked is credible, the tiki statue pokemon might be the Aristotle bust, right?
To be fair though the Riddler leaks have been the only truly credible leaks, but that isn’t impossible. Generally we know that it seems likely we’ll get a statue pokemon of some sort, so maybe?
What did that leaker got right ?
Pretty much everything from the starter types, the legend’s, the sea cucumber pokemon, that pikachu cloth pokemon, alolan forms and team skull.
The leaker basically posts seeming random images, with sometimes some information with them to give a little context. Like posting a flag of a skeleton and saying related to the evil team, or posting a picture of a pikachu tablecloth for that pikachu mimic pokemon. Its clearly that they have insider information, but are trying to hide it by posting seeming random information that can only be really connected once the official information has come out. Like for Pykumuku they posted an image of two people playing rock paper scissors + an image of bloody organs to hint at it using its organs as a hand, as well as it’s ability.
They claim that Loboxter is exclusive to Red. We already know that’s not true. There’s no reason to believe anything else they say.
What?
The 4chan post says it’s in Red, when they meant Sun. Am I the only person who actually read what was posted?
u knew what he meant anyway
Yeah. I just didn’t know every idiot on this page would go bonkers over a sarcastic comment about a fricking typo.
don’t you mean exclusive to sun, not red?! and do you have any evidence to confirm it fake because in the end, their just rumours no one is calling them real until a trailer of some sort or a batch of corocoro info is given to us. don’t get all worked up over it, if you don’t believe em then good for you but don’t say their fake unless you can back that up
The 4chan post above says Loboxter is exclusive to Red. It does NOT say Loboxter is exclusive to Sun. Red came out 20 years ago and Loboxter was not in it. Therefore, we already know that Loboxter is not exclusive to Red.
Seriously, am I the only person who caught that? I was making fun of their typo. Don’t jump down my throat because you can’t read properly.
calm down, i was just correcting you, so he made a small mistake. it obviously was meant to say sun, so please dont jump down my throat when i was just saying so. that small typo wasn’t his fault.
You actually weren’t correcting me. You have to be correct in order to correct someone, and you weren’t.
You were trying to correct me because you misread the 4chan post, and even though I explained that I was making fun of the typo, you still seem to be laboring under the delusion that my initial comment was meant to debunk the original statement.
And whoever posted that original rumor… sorry to burst your bubble, but his/her typo actually IS his or her own fault. It’s his or her fault because he or she typed “Red” instead of “Sun.” (That’s how you correct someone, by the way.)
excuse me, me delusional? am i the one who’s going crazy over one simple typo?! no. i really couldn’t care less what you think of me, because you really don’t know me, so don’t bother getting personal, take more than that to piss me off 🙂 oh and im pretty intelligent considering i got a degree in teaching, i teach students at university, weather you think im dumb or whatever i really don’t care, in the end YOUR the one who’s going star crazy over a simple mistake of a typo! grow up and find something better to do rather than aruing over a simple typo about a game. seriously, im here to speculate and see what leaks have been spread weather their real or fake and here you are arguing about a small mistake…you really need to calm the heck down and get over it, til then i have work tomorrow unlike most. ta ta for now 🙂
And we know that’s not true because?…
Because Red came out 20 years ago and Loboxter wasn’t in it.
Seriously, the 4chan post above says Red. Not Sun.
typos exist
But evidently making fun of typos didn’t exist until I tried it out.
“this artist must have a good memory if he can draw a Pokémon that looks exactly like those tikis in the game”
Those are probably disguises and people build tikis based on them. If you walk by or walk up and press a while facing it, it might trigger a battle. Similarly to Darmanitan, Voltorb/Electrode, etc.
Edit: also similar to how some Yokai in Yokai Watch can disguise themselves as inanimate objects.
The Yokai watch comment was irrelivant.
Is not
It is.
Creatures disguising themselves as ordinary objects has been in RPG games for decades.
You provided examples of where Pokemon has done it before and Yokai Watch is irrelivant. Otherwise you might as well mention Dragon Quest and Dungeons And Dragons and all the other cases.
Some people may have only played Yokai Watch and not Pokemon. Like my sister for example. Calm your ass and shut the fuck up.
The people who have only played Yokai Watch are hardly likely to be visiting pokejungle.
I am calm, but it seems you are not.
Jesus Christ. It’s a fucking example. Just shut the fuck up.
Dulfrost looks like the Reddit Alien. Lol
If it’s real, dibs on the nickname Snoo. It even sounds like snow. XD
Actually Snooman
I just hope its not a short trailer when it comes around. i want one like the Alolan form reveal, 5 minutes. i feel like when pokemon doesn’t elaborate even slightly they open up this can of worms called leaks and rumors. like teasing the bracelet about a month or so early before letting us know what it was. i love rumors but i just want some news. GIVE IT TO ME
I think it’s fake, but if it’s not, I’d be okay with that.
These three have quite nice designs.
I actually prefer the lobster to the Crabrawler.
I looked back at the Artleaker rumor, and it doesn’t mention Rockaby. Was it the Rock/Bug Spider Monkey?
I think it was a tiki.
Guys, can you all give your opinions and say to me, if this is could be true or fake? Cause i like the designs and I want to hear your thoughts
As much as I like the art, it’s probably fake.
Besides, trying to back the Artleaker rumour makes me sad.
I hope its true, I really like that snowman.
I like the snowman and the lobster, and the tiki is ok, but there’s too much in the Artleaker set of rumours that I dislike.
If they hadn’t tried to back the Artleaker rumour I’d be 100% fine with this being true or false.
What is the Artleaker rumor? (sry idk)
They linked to it in the article

Another day, another bunch of fakes.
I can get behind Loboxter … But the others are rubbish.
I really do not like that snowman… I’ve enjoyed most of the other Pokemon, being on the fence with Palossand, but I would be very pleased if this was fake just because of that snowman. What a waste of an ice/ghost design.
I like it. An evolution would probably be scarier though.
I don’t know how it could be. It’s a moot point anyway, this is all going to be confirmed fake within the next couple of days.
It is going to be confirmed gake.
But scary snowman evolutions are possible.

The Loboxter Crabrawler duo actually seems plasubile. It’d make a lot of sense too, so if it is true, I’m interested to see where they go with this.
Doesn’t make sense to not reveal both at the same time though.
True.
Well a lot of pokemon are shown before or after their evolutions
I’m having a feeling that these will end up looking better than the real thing, also that white pokemon is SO unoriginal…
There’s no way this isn’t the same the guy from the art leaker stuff. We have had anyone draw Pokemon like this in leaks before, is seems suspect.
I like the lobster and the snowman a lot, though. Sorta hope they’re real, but they probably aren’t.
Did the reliable Chinese leakers come from 4chan and Reddit as well?
nice, love these, looking forward to next trailer
Probably fake, but this one would be so cool. The snowball pkm and the totem pkm are just perfect. And the lobster vs crab idea is really cool, and they both look pretty nice
I think Loboxter is a dumb idea. It looks basically the same as Crabrawler except because it’s a Lobster pokemon, the Fighting type without Water type is even more dumb.
I agree with Loboxter being dumb for looking the same, but you do realize Crabrawler is a coconut crab, which is the reason for its pure Fighting type.
I do realize the typing makes sense for Crabrawler. Doesn’t make sense to leave out water typing on the lobster though.
Write a but Gen 8 Reginos!
I believe it.
What is this?
