PLEASE REMEMBER: Rumors are for discussion and should be considered false until official information confirms their contents. They are posted for discussion and enjoyment purposes only 🙂
An anonymous poster on 2ch claims to have seen the October issue of CoroCoro, a Japanese comic magazine, and says that the latest issue shows Alolan Ekans and Arbok. They’ve given a few details about it and here are the translations:
- Alolan Ekans & Arbok are Fighting-type
- Their abilities are Fighter Skin, which makes Normal-type moves Fighting and increases their power by 30% (ala Pixilate, etc), and Shed Skin
- Alolan Arbok is light brown and bigger in size than its normal counterpart, but lacks any pattern on its body
- It is a Pokémon Sun exclusive and the CoroCoro issue also reveals that Alolan Sandslash is a Moon exclusive
UPDATE:
Adding in other rumors from 2ch, newest rumors will be added to the bottom. The Alolan Electabuzz & Magmar rumor was preceded by a typo so I think I consider this much shakier than the above Arbok rumor. It would also leave questions regarding their evolutions as well.
- Alolan Electabuzz revealed, new form looks similar to the pudgy Shinto god Ebisu
- Brought electricity to Alola and is seen as a guardian-type figure
- Electric/Fairy-type
- Has the abilities Friend Guard/Healer
- Alolan Magmar
- It walks on all fours and is covered in vines; covered itself in vegetation as a way to survive in the jungles of Alola
- Fire/Grass-type
- New ability that reduces the effectiveness of its opponents attack when it switches to a teammate in battle (teammate will take less damage when it switches in)
Furthermore, one of the posters has promised to post pictures of the issue tomorrow at 7PM Japan Standard Time. Hopefully they’re telling the truth 😉

That’d be cool
I need Alolan Weezing if this is true (;
Alolan Ekans and Arbok this is going to be interesting. >:)
Interesting…… VERY interesting…
If this is true, this may actually add some credence to the previously “leaked” artwork of the Fire type Alolan Weezing that was on 4chan….
Perhaps, if they are both true, they may be version exclusives?
What say you, PJ?
I’m really wondering how they’d make a snake a fighting type. It’s cool if Corocoro will show this, but I want the starters’ evolutions 🙁
I was hoping for a water type Alolan ekans/ arbok
meh. want them aswell.. It needs to happen
Sandshrew is ice so who knows
I’m still waiting for that Pokémon that will instantly make me love it (the last one was Zoroark). So yeah, I need an awesome dark type!
I saw Electivire in one of the trailers? I doubt an Alolan Electabuzz would evolve back into its original typing and they wouldn’t show a normal Electivire if there’s an Alolan form
Tell that to Meowth.
That Meowth belonged to the player’s mother though IIRC.
But hmmmm… I like the idea of an Alolan Magmar on all fours too much to want to discount this theoretical leak just yet :/
Who’s to say that Buzz didn’t belong to someone from a different region? It’s too soon to write it off. Of course, that also doesn’t really mean anything either way. I just wouldn’t shoot it down immediately.
Alolan Electabuzz CONFIRMED fake: The fake leaker GUESSED based on Chinese Riddler posting a picture of a Chinese scholar. Pic was NOT related to Alolan formes but a NEW Pokemon
Don’t rule it out
Or alolan electabuzz doesn’t evolve cuz alolan forms are kanto only
Alola formes are gen 1 exclusive and Electivire is a gen 4 Pokemon
Dont make my tough strong electabuzz a fairy.. 🙁
Lol
Not to preassure anyone but ummmmmmmmm
GIVE ME MY ALOLAN STEEL KABUTOPS OR I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL….
You’ll throw a hissy fit?
Eat someones’ soul is more like it
ALOLA MAGMAR OMG
Another Chinese Riddler guess gone wrong. This new ‘leak’ is so FAKE. Again just trying to make a wild guess out of his riddles then sending these ‘leaks’ on 2ch.
They guessed Alolan formes and the Darwin bird based on Chinese riddlers hints right but that’s all they’ve figured out.
We don’t know don’t rule it out yet wait first before yelling fake
Hmm wasnt there a 4chan leak (same one that mentioned Pyukumuku and Alola forms) that said a Fire/Grass Tiki? Magmar would be the 2nd one then!
Alolan Electabuzz is FAKE. The fake leaker GUESSED based on Chinese Riddler posting a picture of a Chinese scholar.
Riddler and leaker was accurate. Don’t deny it so fast
Alolan Electabuzz is part fairy type? That’s weird as hell, it never struck me as something that could be Fairy like.
Its a fake leak. Don’t believe it.
I agree, it’s most likely fake. What do you mean by picture of a Chinese scholar?
Supposed to be in coro coro we don’t know
He posted several pics:
N1: Yukie Nakama, a Japanese actress, and Kirsi, a protagonist in anime Darker than black, which don’t point to the new pokemon directly.
N2: A monk staff
N3: Wu Yong(Ebisu look a like) an advisor of the gang of 108 heros in a fiction
11: Aristotle + 4 elements – 5th element – celestial body – hole – hyperspace
Oh so these pictures reference something in Sun/Moon.
Alola Ninetales is part Fairy because it is revered as a mythical creature in Alola
True, but Ninetails makes sense because it’s a beautiful and elegant Pokemon. Electabuzz looks tough as hell how can in became a fairy type? Lol
Granbull doesnt look Fairy either XD
Lol ok fair enough you got me there.
electivire eletrobuio. e mgmortar elettrofuoco
If this is the October issue of Corocoro, that means again no starter evos. Something’s definitely up then
Their always secret. Xy they were leaked by early players
XY second evos were revealed by September Corocoro
And BW starters as well. XY middle stages revealed by Corocoro in September 2013, BW middle stages by Corocoro in September 2010
To be honest I think will get Starter evolutions next month, like we have in the past.
Yeah this is fake for sure. If they saw October leak in advance, the FIRST thing they would’ve leaked would be starter evos not another bunch of Alolan formes.
because, typing one miss.our inversion.
Fighting type lol what sense does that make
yes evo starter and rockruff
but we surch that’s typing pokemon
Alolan forms are kanto exclusive but electabuzz and magmar have evos unless the alola forms don’t evolve but thts dumb and should be fighting type fairy is interesting and funny af
whay no alola shiny electric dark.-.? perfect alola … rappresentation typing
is perfect titles game. and different time game.
To me their real till proven wrong
alola dragonite dark electric? hype.
already ‘snapped’ an standard Dragonite.
