The November issue of Japanese comic CoroCoro has started to leak online! This issue brings news on the mysterious Type: Null as well as some additional details on Alolan Grimer. Check out the scans and translations below!
Scans
Translations
- Confirms Ilima (pink haired person next to Hau) as the first Trial Captain
- Alolan Grimer is Poison/Dark-type. It’s new look comes from eating Alolan garbage
- Type: Null’s evolution is Shiruvadi – When Type: Null finds a trainer it trusts, it breaks its seal and becomes Shiruvadi.
- Shiruvadi has a special item called Memory that gives it the power to be any type in conjunction with its ability, AR System. Also has a new attack called Multi Attack which changes its type based on the held item
- Jangmo-o first evolves into Jarango, then into Jararanga
- Both Jarango and Jararanga are Dragon/Fighting-type
- The Pokémon Sun & Moon anime will premiere with an hour long special on November 17th
- Samson Oak is the principal of the school that Ash will enroll in
NOTE: There seems to be some understandable confusion on whether or not Shiruvadi is actually an evolution of Type:Null, or a forme change, or something else. The Japanese word for evolution, 進化 (しんか), is specifically used between the two. Showing that, despite the little aesthetic change and the special breaking the seal artwork, Shiruvadi is indeed Type:Null’s evolution.
Poison/Dark? Very interesting. I like it!
hoping for comfey evolution !!!
Please release Alolan Persain!
How serebii could be that fast?
i never refreshed a page that fast and frequently ! The hype is reaaaal !!!
Wonder what it is about Alola that sends pokemon to the dark side?
Ash losing the Kalos League. Again.
Can someone please give me the link to the actual corocoro leak posts ?
That’s not official source …someof the fans just pre-order the magazine.
yeah i know , but where do they post these images ?
Usually I found them on 4chan but serebii surprise me this time.
I’ve always wondered where they were posted but never bothered to find out. That would be good to know.
I thought 4chan is the fastest one but I was wrong.
Nice! Also, it doesn’t matter if we don’t get much. We have a trailer coming up in two days anyway 🙂
Why so many alolan forms are dark types ? And whats with the stupid beard ?? Why most pokemon in this gen are either too cute or too retard looking ?..
Maybe senator Palpatine is the head trial champion or something.
My guess is Gen 1 don’t have dark types at all and this is their weird way of fixing it.
Eeew Poison/Dark
It might just be me but, adding Dark to it seems a little lazy on this one, though I guess it makes sense, it keeps STAB from Poison moves but it could have made a cool Fire type
There are two arrows pointing the next page next to Grimer, maybe Alolan Muk is shown as well
For sure team Skull will use that it looks like their logo.
There should be alolan trubbish
Since grimers new form comes from eating Alola garbage, trubbish should get one because it’s technically made out of garbage.
Possible explanation for grimers bottom lip. (RF) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c543964725dcb57648d35e80b0125fe4cdb1e77974d514d1f44136ab29d6d07a.png
Thats pretty creative tbh 😮
apparently jang-o evolves in dragon/fighting
How did you know that?
joes twitter
the leaker said it but did not provide pictures
Fighting monk dragon! That would be nice!
4x Fairy weakness FTW
Wat the hell the leaker waiting for …….I am looking fot Type:Null info.
I know! I need to see it without the mask!
I think they will show us wat the pkmns that wat Type:Null created from.
Most likely that and a bit of background information.
maybe he died
According to Serebii, Jangmo-o evolves into Dragon/Fighting and Type: Null’s type depends on the item held, and it evolves!
So it IS Arceus lite… someone stole its DNA?
How many Alolan dark types we got now?
Dark Mewoth
Dark Grimer
Dark Rattata
Dark Raticate
Maybe Alolan muck and Persian too which makes it a total of 6 Pokémon.
It seems game freak is trying to give Kanto Pokémon cooler types.
That’d probably be it for Dark Types, especially if they’re not introducing much new ones this Gen.
I am afraid they did that cuz no new dark type there.
Love how I’m waking up just as the info is surfacing
This dragon/fighting evo of Jangmo-o could be promising, I’ve wanted one for so long (though Meinshao could’ve had the potential but clearly not)
Clearly not is right
And all the people who said they were going to sleep in the previous article…
I just woke up
You alarm clocked just for this? Cool!
Or ya may have some corocoro senses…
I said this many times people Alolan Forms are taking away new Pokemon from your faces
A) We still don’t know the full Alola Pokedex so I wouldn’t speculate how many new ones we’re getting yet
B) Alolan Forms (or regional variants) is a pretty ace gimmick. Gives some Pokemon more environment to work around
Agreed, not a big fan of these alolan forms, this just means that actual brand new pokes will be severely limited and the rest are just Alolan Variants
Sugimori said in an interview before that he want to limit the number of new pokemon because he is afraid that one day there will be too many pokemon and people wont ne able to remember them all
Well I already have difficulty remembering all of the original 151… so I can see his point.
I dont have problem remembering 700+ pokemon and Im pretty sure most people does
I can remember most of the pokemon c:
I honestly used to be really on point I do now frequently find myself saying “what’s that one called again?” Especially in references to gen 5 and 6
I remember all the ones except the ones that are particularly forgettable or that I’m purposely trying to retcon.
They should have made the pan/simi monkey lines the same pokemon with different forms.
Then Sugimori is an idiot and needs to retire. it’s that simple. There’s no such thing as “too many Pokemon”, and that is the mindset the developers need to have.
Besides, they had no qualms about making them all catchable in Gen 6 alone. 4 games, 721 pokemon.
I’m pretty sure the only reasion we stil get decent looking pokemon is because of sugimori, the rest of the designers seems to suffer from an excessive megaman obsession that they put in their designs.
I feel like I must disagree. I’ve seen nothing particularly wrong with any new Pokemon design. But regardless, if Sugimori sticks to such a nonsense idea, he has no business staying in the business, since it means he’s clearly past it.
i don’t see how this could be the case. it’s backwards reasoning. if anything, alolan variants will pad out the dex after an original line up has been decided, and that’s what they’ve said they work the longest on.
You people complain too damn much
Nobody liked Grimer anyway, and now they’ve made it worse.
Better than a Garbodor.
I love Garbordor
Not that they’re different anyways both are literal garbage.
True, but that’s basically saying a pool of toxic sludge is better than a broken bag of rubbish. Neither is very appealing.
Comparing garbage to garbage is comparing Genwunners to poop.
Really? I’ve actually always loved Muk. I think it’s design is cool and he’s just a great poison type in my opinion. This alolan form is probably gonna be really ugly but whatever, I’m kinda over it.
Man they’re gonna make the number of new Pokémon that they want regardless of new features. It’s not a time constraint. It’s an actively made decision. They want less new Pokémon with each gen and take their time getting to 1000+.
It’s a time constraint.
More pokemon = more time designing + more time reviewing designs + more time making models + more time making textures + more time writing stats + more time animating + more time drawing official art
No duh. But we’re also not talking about an indie developer. They have all the financial resources they could ever need at their disposal. And we’re not talking about a AAA HD action game. And most of the assets are being recycled from XY/ORAS. They could add more if they wanted. But the number of new Pokémon is definitely having diminishing returns. The difference in sales between having 90 new Pokémon or 180 is very likely negligible at best. So they’re taking their sweet time.
Wow….Type: Null changes type based on items it holds, and that it evolves into a Pokémon called Shiruvuadi.
Could you link to Joe’s twitter please?

Thanks
It’s on the website.
No need for showing Alolan Meowth while Alolan Persian not there….but the last thing I was expected that Type: Null have an evolution.
Same here. Type: Null looked like a stand alone Pokemon.
Type null looks like a final form evolution already, what it will evolve to will probably look so complex or stupid
I’m think it would look more complete than complex. Like more uniform rather than an amalgam of different pokemon.
I have to agree there. I was expecting it to be a single-form non-evolving artificial pokemon.
I hope the info is fake, because all I was waiting for is to hear about the helmet and see his face, it kind of felt like it had Zygard cells attached to the helment and I wanted to know if thats true, evolution just doesnt seem right on this one
The evo could be unmasked
