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 😉

the wall that’s keeping the info on Pokemon Sun and Moon hostage.
oh david pokejungle wouldn’t be the same without you spouting random nonsense. I love it.
Thanks ^v^ i think.
Well here’s hoping I wake up in 7 and a half hours to leaks. I wanna know what rockruff turns into so bad. It feels like each reveal is getting closer to confirming all these different rumors (like rockruff’s evo will confirm the one with the pikapek, fire pig, muk variant, etc and the Chinese one will get more credibility if there’s multiple forms right? Plus it could give us an idea as to what the secret is that it shares with the starters)!
Opinion? http://orig04.deviantart.net/78b3/f/2016/255/b/7/row2_by_shadragz-dahhhuf.jpg
I think these are fake, as the last CoroCoro stated that it’d reveal information on Rockruff’s “Secret Evolution”. While it is very possible that this leak is just one page of two or three of the CoroCoro, the Alolan Forms are a bit disappointing. I’d rather have Electabuzz have the Electric/Fighting-Typing, Magmar to have Fire/Poison, and Arbok to have something like Poison/Dark. That’s just my opinion, though. Electric/Fairy for Electabuzz would be interesting and Fire/Grass would be cool for Magmar, I’d prefer the types mentioned earlier.
Side note, I really hope we get the starter evolutions this CoroCoro. It’d follow the trend of the last two generations for the starter evolutions to appear in September.
Damn it Coro Coro, get leaked already!!!
If this leak is real, the pics should be posted in 45 minutes, like he/she promised.
I highly doubt it though.
UB-02 looks exactly like Lusamine
Looks more like Alder to me.
I honestly don’t think this rumors is true. It just wouldn’t make sense, a fighting snake? I think its doing to be a Dragon type, it just seems to fit with the Cobra design. In Japan there a legend about young dragons, I forget what they are called, but they look rather like huge Cobras.
Well this was super fake! Still Alolan Arbok is still possible so hopefully that will still happen.
