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.















Well that was quite the wait? I’m off to bed goodbye folks?
Jangmo-o’s line looks great! I can’t wait to use it in the games! Although they did became bipedal, the final evolution is hunched over enough, that it kinda doesn’t look bipedal. I’m very happy overall with these designs! The more I look at them, the more excited I get for evolutions of other Pokemon for this generation.
Well, I’m heading off to bed now. Good night all!

That’s a cool pic of Dartrix attacking.
Is this the text next to Silvadi? “When this new (新) Pokemon unleashes its true (真) strength, a new strongest god (神) is born.”
Nice wordplay if so.
TYPE NULL BECOMES SOME SORT OF CHICKEN
I expected Jangmo-o evolutions to be on four legs with some sort of shield on their back made of scales and at the end of their tails a spikey ball. A bit just like that dinosaur in the photo below.

yeah… I was too kinda. Its final evo needs some getting used to I guess.. I wanted to use Jangmo-o in my team, but Idk now.. Maybe xD
I wanted to use him too, but that 4x fairy weakness tho ?
Remember, OU is full of things with 4x weaknesses.
Jang will be fine! Just believe.
Yeah, most of the psuedo’s have a 4x weakness. Not that I’m sure Jangmo-o is the pseudo, but still. Hydreigon has the 4x fairy weakness too. Dragonite, Garchomp and Salamence have 4x ice. Tyranitar 4x fighting.
Where are the fossils?? Still no fossils at this point might mean that there aren’t any.. Meh.
The fossils in BE weren’t released before the games cal out so there’s still hope.
Yeah, if they’re following patterns, only even gens leak starter’s pre-release, not odd gens.
Really hoping this is the case, because if there’s no fossils I will riot.
I’m with you in rioting. The fossils are my always some of favourite pokemon.
I needed to search for the fossils to figure out what gen5’s fossils were… XD, one of my favorite ever pokemon carracosta, sorry men I forgot all about u..
Gen5 pokemon are great , sigh..
Im glad to find someone who likes Carracosta. I agree with you, gen 5 produced some great pokemon.
except for the final starter evolutions xD
Yeah, they were serious dissapointments.
so there is still some hope left, yess
i really love goodra. i love how it has an amazing sp.def stat, great hp to make use of that sp.def stat, and sp. atk to hit things back fairly hard. mine held assault vest too. ate sp. attacks for days. it was on the team with one of my favorite megas and pivots, Mega Manectric. that intimidate support and a pokemon on the team with access to will-o-wisp and scald made goodra an insurmountable wall.
That being said, i hope Jararanga is the opposite. great physical bulk and an Atk stat to allow it to strike fairly hard. physical goodra if you will. give him the assault vest in a similar fashion… heck, i hope it gets intimidate, though something to help take fairy attack would be nice. really looking forward to Jararanga.
Roseli Berry. 🙂
BTW guys don’t make fun of anti-weakness berry, I run Yache on Garchomp all the time in Maison… if it isn’t Lum Berry.
yes, that’s definitely an option I’m considering, though i will miss the assault vest. i kinda hope they give us a DEF boosting assault variant, and a new ability:
Distraction: Lowers the opponents pokemon’s sp. atk by one stage upon switching in.
Yeah a special-type intimidate would be sweet.
Oooooh my god. I really didn’t feel like it needed to happen, but that Type: Null evolution is fucking amazing!!! I also feel like Jararanga will grow on me. Right now I’m just disappointed it’s not Dragon/Steel or quadruple. Ilima looks cool as well. Definitely a Normal-type, but now that I think of it’s that’s actually already confirmed by Gumshoos and Raticate.
next ur name is Jarford?
No it’s definitely not better than Haxorus, but I’ll use it anyway 🙂 I have a soft spot for most dragons.
By the way, am I the only one who thought Shiruvadi looked like Robinhoot at first glance?
Probably.
Well I mean, the claws, the feathers, the color scheme (all in the bigger picture, not the official art)
Well you said first glance, and I can totally see that… even if green and cream isn’t what I see in Silvadi’s evo…
Three things on the anime: 1.The concept of Shiruvadi’s evolution screams Ash to me. Like he saves a Type: Null that has been abused, it learns to trust him and breaks its helmet for him. 2. Looks like this anime has Ash only getting one starter again, which I’m ok with, I want to see what his other four or more pokemon will be. 3. Serebii’s Joe Merrick reported that the anime is supposedly trying to be “a laugh a minute”… That concerns me.
They frontload the beginning of a season with comedy peppered with battles. Isn’t this what they’re doing since Gen 1 anime?
Ok there’s a difference between something having comedy mixed in-between everything and making something a straight-up comedy. This seems like the latter.
Point. Though I like comedy.
I guess the first indication of it is Samuel Oak wearing an exeggutor costume.
Well, and I completely mean this, I hope you enjoy it. I hope this series finds an audience, I just personally feel like it’s not going to appeal to me. I feel like that pic of Ash falling through his desk says it all… Though I love the look on his Rowlet’s face, I’ll probably watch it if his Rowlet’s like the straightman
Thanks, though I probably won’t get to watch the Pokemon Anime either way. I’m too busy catching up with other shows right now. 🙂
its not like it can get worse than it already is.
Oh I beg to differ lol. I feel like the wound from the Alain vs Ash thing is still a bit fresh that it’s forgotten that XYZ was a decent anime. I mean, at least he didn’t take on a Hydreigon with an Oshawott in the league like in Unova.
the thing is though, is that the structure is always the same. its always “meet forgettable character of the day, filler, end episode” rinse and repeat until a gym battle or the league. always. i was misled by a fan on this website “oh its not i promis XYZ is different” ok i said, i’ll give it a shot. the VERY FIRST episode was filler. and so were the next couple. i gave up again.
Well when you put it that way, I can’t blame you lol. It’s just that this anime seems like a series entirely composed of those lame summer camp arcs. I hated those, I felt like it dumbed/slowed everything down for no reason other than stakes that didn’t matter outside of the arc (Being the top summer camp team or whatever). So it seems like, at this point, a mix of Orange Islands and the Summer Camp Arcs.
but see this is what makes me hopeful: being confined to one area with a select cast gives us time to watch them grow as characters. I’m not sure if anyone here has seen “Yu-gi-oh” but the second series, yugioh GX, was always my favorite for this very reason. its kinda hard to explain…
No I completely get it, I love GX and you make a good point. However, even though GX was a lighter series (at first), it didn’t make the point that it was going to be straight-up comedic. After your argument, I’d probably sit down and shut up if the only thing we knew about it was that he’s going to school. However, they’re also trying to make it a point that they want “a laugh a minute” which tells me there’s prooooobably not going to be much room for character development… MAYBE, we’ll see when the Ultrabeasts arrive. When a show tries to make a comedy that’s set in a school, it’s usually not all that deep, it’s more about their day-to-day lives. Learn something one day, go through things that test that lesson, lesson learned at the end of the episode, happy ending, laughs and good feels all around, rinse and repeat.
yeah, honestly, given that kind of description, id be worried too if i was looking for some sort of plot.
Shiruvadi actually makes me want to have a Type: Null in my team. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE MOVE DIVERSITY?!
Thank Arceus for Arceus Lite…
Normal/Ghost and Normal/Fairy are actually pretty good typings,
does it keep the normal typing?
Maaaaybe, we’ll see if Normal stays.
Getting to pick its type AND use it in Battle Whatever, or OU will be neat.
Tomorrow we’ll get the trailer featuring (at least one of) the evolutions shown in corocoro I believe.
I fw Jangmo’s evolutions. Still don’t like type:Null though, not to mention his evolution doesn’t look much different
I still find the animation style is very promising. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmCzn7iOG5c
Well, to no one’s surprise, The Riddler was right again!
What was confirmed from this scan?
Jararanga’s monk staff-like tail, we had a pic of it next to Jangmo-o. There’s no confusion here, this person knows stuff.
Now as for the types leak, it’s either a lie,just predictions, or hopefully they didn’t know about silvadi and thus Type:Null is listed as single. It’s annoying that’s still up in the air.
True, maybe Jararanga will be featured in the trailer tomorrow. Maybe the Riddler only knows the pokemon that are featured in the trailers.
Another scan. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1476340982853.jpg
Shiruvadi looks awesome but Jararanga is just a mess e-e
Really feeling it’s going to be the Haxorus of the Gen.
wow dragon figthing??? why not?
http://a4.files.biography.com/image/upload/c_fit,cs_srgb,dpr_1.0,q_80,w_620/MTM0Njc4MzEzMzEzNTYyNTk0.jpg
Now THOSE are my type of Dragons
It actually pleases me to say
Beltigre
Lycanroc
Mudsdale
Jararanga
And if this Silvadi thing is basically any type I wonde how hard it would be to get it to be Ground because then I can use it for my Ground Moon Mono
If I understand the description correctly, once we get the “Memory” key item we can customize its type right away.
As awesome as that sounds I don’t think that’s the case
I don’t think the Memory Item has every type off the bat since I could foresee a player like switching its type for an important battle
But tomorrow we’ll soon know the details
Well see if it’s as awesome as I think it is. <3
Shiruvadi translates into “pondering its own
existence as an imperfect being” this confirms some things that have been speculated.
Like what exactly
In what language?
Shiruvadi is dope ass fuck, but Jararanga will have to grow on me.
I like the middle form, but yeah Jararanga will have to grow on me as well.
I’m hoping Jararanga is not the Pseudo Legend for this gen. If it is I hope we will get one more.
Waaaait, this makes it 5 Trial Captains, doesn’t it? Will we have 8 in total?
According to the guys from GamexPlain there’s a total of 7
Which means the 8th and final trial will be the Alolan champion!!
Care to source that? I couldn’t find anything on their twitter, nor do I recall them saying that in their video. Not doubting you, I’m just curious.
I think it was some other journalistic source that tested the game that said that, can’t remember which one, not gamexplain though.
However this has not been backed up by anyone other review so either it’s under embargo, or, more likely, they got highly confused. 7 doesn’t seem to be a very logical number, and the five captains we know now, 3 seem to be on Akala, which is a weird imbalance. Can you really imagine two islands (or even one island!) with literally one captain and one kahuna? It’s completely senseless!
yeah that’s was what I was thinking myself. Thank you.
Actually thinking on it now, they might have meant that they know for certain that their are 7 trial captains, as our electric, electra loving trial captain might have been confirmed to be on Akala island.
Jangmo-o evolutions are CRAP :/
Crabrawler is the Crab.
crabrawler is crap not crab
Nope.
Wow, so insightful.
you’re just a ray of sunshine aren’t you
