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.
HOLY MOLY
Just checked Serebii and they leaked it! Type: Null’s evolution is so cool! And Jangmo-o’s is fine, I’m liking it
WAIT CAN YOU GUYS SEE THE THIRD SCAN???
I’m confused. Is there a third scan? I see three on Serebii for some reason.
Wait never mind there it is.
I can see it. maybe refresh the page?
Just refreshed and all is good.
Are you kidding me with those evolutions? You’ve got to be kidding me.
You don’t like them?
I don’t like them, I LOVE THEM!
IKR!!!! THEYRE SO MAJESTIC!
Agreed 100%.
Yeah all of em are awesome, especially Type: Null’s. It’s too beautiful and awesome… :’)
So they kind of went with chainmail instead of griffin. It’s fine. I just want a griffin. The final evo is a bit overdesigned when compared to other dragons like dragonite but hey- I’m not gonna complain about that cool typing.
I was thinking about naming my Jangmo-o Chainmail because of the chainmail design lol
And Alolan Grimer is stupid. Such a waste unless muk is really neat.
I LOVE ILIMAS DESIGN (new trial captain)
These games are truly shaping up to be phenomenal. Not one thing thus far has let me down about the upcoming titles, and I’m more than excited to try them out for myself in a month’s time.
I agree 100% *thumbs up*
Jangmo-o biggest disappointment of 2016 lol
I must say, even though over designed, I kind of like its warrior appearance.
The colors are a little too close to haxorus too
It’s not what I expected but with time I think it’ll grow on me.
At least we have a Dragon/Fighting type
Well I guess I’ll just keep Pikipek then. Jangamo-O isn’t too great
I’m loving Shiruvadi design has an Asztec or Mayan feel to it. Same with Janmo-o
Yes. Kind of more tribal like.
Shiruvadi’s eyes look like simmilar to Solgaleo and Lunala’s eyes
Oh yeah just noticed that too. Also, The way it glows up is similar to the two as well
Happening
So it just breaks its mask..?
That’s wat I see ….that shouldn’t count an evolution.
Think of it as a permanent form change ?
yeah it isn’t really evolving is it? I think its a neat concept though.
I think it gets a bit bigger and it’s grey fur turns white….. and thats about it lol
Don’t you just love the Cinncino effect
I love Jangmo-o’s evos, screams chinese to me. My one thing is the Alola forms, seem pretty hit and miss huh?
*or miss
I’m glad people seem to be liking the evolutions. I really don’t. Jangamo-O seems very over designed (and not a griffin) and I don’t see the appeal in Type: Null’s evolution. Especially since the original form seemed fine and mysterious on its own
While it doesn’t look very different regarding the rest of the body, Type:Null’s evo looks much better to me without the helmet. But feels more like a form change than an actual evolution.
I felt that a some point the mask had to come off as it was restraining it’s power. Would you have rather it be a former change than an evolution?
Yeah a form change makes more sense to me than an evolution especially considering it is artificial
Meh, I was never a fan of Type: Null. That and Ultrabeasts are the only things I’m not really looking forward to in the upcoming games. However, I do like that its evo has access to all types.
I was very skeptical about Jangmo-o’s final evolution at first, it’s design seemed too over exaggerated, but it’s starting to grow on me. I love the mid form though!
jararanga is a total BAMF. I may use it. I don’t normally like using pokemon that share a type, but I tell myself every gen that I will use the pseudo legend, but I never do. I regret not using goodra so badly last gen, I love goodra its my favorite dragon type pokemon.
What pokemon shares the type?
… bewear…?
… Bewear is fighting type? I thought it was just normal…
yes, its normal/fighting
Oh. I’m still getting used to the new ones I guess. It takes a bit to get familiar with new ones each gen I guess
Edit
that’s alright I was worried I was wrong for a minute lol. yepp, that’s why bewear is my new favorite pokemon, its my 2 favorite types, my favorite color, and super adorable in design and behavior.
YO I AM PLEASED!! ! IT LOOKS SO GOD!
TOTALLY GOD!
IT SECURED A SPOT ON MY TEAM
(It did even as a Jang,,, but STILL)
More like you were on the fence when you saw the first evo, but now it totally secured a spot.
Nope, even as a jang i wanted it on my team, it was secure than
but this furthers it even more
I’ve got a feeling the new anime is going to be great!
i haven’t seen DavidNixon in while, he’s usually being hilariously weird in the face of news.
I like his cheering. Would have been nice to have that earlier today.
Ugh, really not feeling that jangmo line. Unique typing is cool, but that is not what I was hoping for at all. Now I have to weigh my options and decide whether or not to keep it on my team.
your profile picture made me read your comment in an sarcastic monotone voice.
That’s basically how I speak, so I’d say that’s accurate, yeah.
Im disappointed Jangmo-o isn’t a steel dual type fairy slaying dragon but it’s still pretty cool
It’s gonna end up being a liability on my team. Really needed that steel type defender for massive balance.
Maybe another will catch your eye (which might hurt).
I mean, I guess, but this one is supposedly the pseudo this gen and I wanted to try it, since I actually never use those. Only time I ever did was a dragonite in HGSS.
Why can’t you use it? Another Fighting type in mind?
Drg/Stl does great balance for the team i want
-pop3 (wtr/fry) [supposedly]
-comfey (fry)
-vikavolt (bug/elc)
-oricorio (gst/fly)
-salandit (psn/fir)
drg/stl really covers everything except gst, which only one is weak to
Perhaps a coverage move or 2 will fill the void?
yeah, i expect to get into that meta stuff once I know more, but I need defensive pivots and nothing beats a steel type in that regard.
Well, save a few select Defensive ‘mon yeah. I was just meaning if this is your in-game team.
Well, I always use the same team for online battles. My XY team was a triple battle threat that had multiple strategies to fall back on. Like my greninja who I played mind games with instead of using as an offensive attacker.
So that’s why I care so much, plus then there’s the battle tower or whatever. Hm, I gotta mull a few things over.
I’m kinda hoping we get 2 this gen, like with gen 3. i feel 2 pseudos should be the standard but alas.
It’d be great. I was hoping for Noivern to be one last gen, but, well like you said, alas.
i was thinking for sure that aegislash was one, and haxorus the gen before…
Aegislash may as well be.
Haxorus is actually the one I was expecting to be drg/ftg back in the day.
We really really needed a damn Fairy pseudo last gen to show Gamefreak were comitted to bringing down Dragon a peg. But no, more Dragon type pseudo legends. I either hope there is more than one this gen as well of Jangmo-o is the pseudo or if it isn’t I hope its Fairy/Grass/Poison/Bug/Ice type.
I KNOWWWW. You’d think they’d expand on the whole scale thing and become a steel type. But, fighting’s cool too.
Jararanga needs the ability mutli scale, because the x4 weakness to fairy can put it in the UU tier especially if it is a slow pokemon
Might be it’s hidden or secondary ability.
Here’s hoping for 100+ base speed.
Look at the bazillion things with 4x weaknesses in OU right now. A couple of those 4x weaknesses are Fighting. Jang will be fine. If there are fairies or Talonflame then that’s what the teammates are for.
i think not. look at hydreigon, that thing is pretty great, and it isn’t too speedy either.
Glad Jangmo-o is staying on my planned team. Very tired now. I can only hope Alolan Muk is better than Grimer. I currently nothing Shiruvadi, maybe that’ll change when I look at it again after some sleeps. Fridays news will hopefully have something else in store.
i completely forgot we were getting news friday
So did I until we were waiting for these scans and I looked something else up.
Wat news?
Officially released news.
when they said that?….did I miss something?
during the reveal video for Dartrix, Torracat, and Brionne, we were given confirmation of news on the 14th…. which is my BIRTHDAY!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO!
I didn’t notice that ….Happy Birthday by the way.
thanks!
Joe talking about changing color in Silvadi mane ……I think he mean these lighting feathers on the head.
