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.
So if the type null thing item hold is true, is this the reason why they are letting you see the type of the opponent on the bottom screen?
Sort of like how they invented Team Preview just so they can let Zoroark’s ability exist without being too surprising.
(Note that although Arceus already had it, Arceus was an event and never meant to be used in competitive.)
Oh Dragon/Fighting, I thought it would be, everyone kept telling me it would be Steel though
Yes!I knew that Jangmo-o was going to become a dragon/fighting type from the description from the official website,even if it hasn’t been confirmed yet! *throws arms up into the air*
Jangmo-o why man?
You will become a fairy’s slave you fool
Didn’t that one Chinese Riddler equation states that Type:Null is a standalone
I feel like apart from the first bits of information he gave us he may be lying.
I don’t recall them ever saying it was a standalone. The most you could be inferring is from their chart, which would simply mean that they didn’t know about the evo at the time.
I always thought jangmo-o would be a stegosaurus with those little tear drop shaped things on it’s back becoming plates. Sounds cool though ! First dragon fighting !
I hope they show us Type nulls face, and tell us how exactly does he get the helmet
RIP Dragon/Steel Jangmo-o.
Noooooo……..
Hmmm if type:null was an attempt to recreate “god” then maybe that explains why it’s type changes based on the item it holds basically a faux Arceus. And it’s evolution Shiruvuadi kinda reminds me of the Hindu God Shiva Which (correct me if I’m wrong) is a God of destruction.
ALOLAN GRIMER!!!
It’s so ugly…I love it. xD
I was in agreement up until “I love it”
Wat Shiruvadi could mean?
I’m not counting on connections to “Shiva” the hindu god, so I’m looking at hawaiian stuff.
Hm… do you see any Japanese puns or anything in that name?
Shiru itself is a Japanese verb, meaning something like “to know”, so perhaps that part implies its all knowing, or at least its very intelligent. Vadi has a few too many possibilities to be certain of what it means.
Shiru could also be from Shirubaa.
Silver-D?
did the leaker fell asleep or got murdered by gamefreaks orsomething ? where the hell is he/she !??
It’s only 7PM in Japan right now. It’s probably not sleep, so it has to be the other thing..
Looking at amusing videos of cats on youtube?
Well, Game Freak assassins, of course…
The leaker could have just got distracted watching cat videos.
Then again, I heard he said he’d found a note with a black handprint and the words “we know”…
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/elderscrolls/images/4/4a/We_Know.png
That Elder Scrolls reference 😀
Maybe still translating the words,dunno really
Looks like the contractors got him. (RF) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/084a90b81cdd43af20353cf20466768c5d06ed9059c6871028850afa4690dbf7.jpg
S/he realised that they had the power to control fans and is going to somehow blackmail us
I was hoping for a Alolan Grimer and Muk, especially for it to be Poison/Dark! However its reason to me personally seems less interesting then mine XD
It was splashed by coolant or it was exposed to water..?
I wonder if we’ll get alolan forms for every Kanto pokemon that didn’t receive an evolution or mega in later gens? Seems to be the trend so far. A little fan-service for the long-forgotten pokes.
I need pre-evos for the following: Scyther, Sneasel, Gligar, Yanma, Misdreavus…
No skarmory? I would love for a pre-evo for that it’s flavor dex eludes to one.
I was looking through the Little Cup banlist 🙂
But yeah, Skarm pre-evo would be cool!
Manga from the same source he called “ugly shigeru”. http://is.4chan.org/vp/1476264888905.jpg
Why does he look like Blue/Gary??
Yeah that clear …..Maybe he isthe gradson of Alolan Oak.
The kid looks like a druggie… is he evil or anything?
Gary got hooked on meth and devolved into this thing.
Crystal meth – not even once.
I’m pretty sure drugs don’t cause tooth deformation… he’d need something more on top of the meds to achieve that…
Tobacco makes people’s teeth yellow.
Maybe he’s been flossing with chains of meth XD
“Shiruva di”
Hmm… “Silver Body”? “Silver D”?
Alolan Grimer is worse than Kanto Grimer.
The teeth make it even more unsightly ?
I knew something other than the yellow looked weird but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Thanks for pointing that out XD
I feel like rather than just adding dark they could change it from poison. Like make it a water type because of alolas pure waters… obviously that wouldn’t suit this Grimer’s design
I dunno, it’s pretty hard to make sludge that isn’t poisonous.
They could have set it on fire or something.
It could become fossil fuels, mud or baking dough…
Oil would make sense, but that’s still poison.
Mud would be lame, but pure ground or ground water might make sense.
Baking dough… Erm… Pancakes?
Well, come to think of it… mud is already “kinda” done, it’d just be Palossand 1.5.
Yeah, so people cook baking dough forme Grimer and feed it to Raichu, yes, that’s right..!
Palossand is sand, not mud.
Mud would make more sense than half dark.
Seems legit 😛
Well that’s why it’s “kinda”. And even if IRL wet sand != mud, Palossand operates and likely moves around kinda like Grimer anyway.
There’s deep geological reasond why sand != mud.
The reason Palossand moves similar to Grimer that is probably because sand is a fluid and grime/sludge is a viscous fluid.
I dont know why they are tying to make pokemon look ridiculous in this gen, I’m afraid this might be yokai watch effect…
I think it’s likely looking at the designs Yokai Watch uses.
Some of the Yokai Watch creatures I like, like the cats, but stuff like Mochismo and Slack-a-slash are just plain awful.
Sure is taking a while to get the remaining pages of CoroCoro…
Not to mention the obvious other page on the other side of the existing image
Not including ones we’ve seen in their original form, that have megas, already have an alolan form or are legendary, or evolve into a none gen 1 pokemon, here are the only gen 1 pokemon left who can be Alolan form:
Ekans and Arbok
Nidoran♂, Nidorino, Nidoking
Nidoran ♀, Nidorina, Nidoqueen
Venonat and Venomoth
Diglett and Dugtrio
Geodude, Graveller, Golem
Ponyta and Rapidash
Doduo and Dotrio
Koffing and Wheezing
I’m hoping for a Fire/Fairy Rapidash, I can see Koffin becoming Rock/Poison, I can see an Ice Geodude, I’d have thought Ekans/Arbok would have suited Dark/Poison but I’m not sure they’ll give us the same Type combo for more that one Unrelated alolan form, but for the rest I dunno.
Most stuff I read on Alolan Ekans/Arbok is that they’re pure Fighting
I would Hate that at least have them retain their poison typing
Poison/Fighting then. Love the Croagunk line
I like Alolan Grimer but I have some doubts about this leak y Meawoth is behind that Grimer I didn’t see this before ,y they show Gumshoos’s shoot again?….soes anybody remember if the original Grimer was shown in SM trailers or not?
I think this leak might be fake but we will have to wait and see
If it was fake Serebii wouldnt cover it lmao
Uh, Serebii made mistakes and covered fakes before… like the gen 5 fake below…
Regardless if it’s fake or not this leaker is just an asshole wat the hell he waiting for?
More attention and more people.
I agree that he’s an asshole, but I doubt he’s doing it for attention since he’s an anonymous uploader. Joe Merrik won’t say who it is.
Hooked on power.
Unless he’s told Joe and it’s actually Joe that’s holding out on us…
Actually that would make a lot of sense.
Joe waiting for more Serebii/Twitter traffic.
What the hell he waiting fooooor?
Love me like…
I don’t like the riddler, but since there’s going to be a wait…
Grimer is featured in this image:
http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/168/962/c6d.png
But not in this one:
http://pokejungle.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/riddler666.png
No idea if that’s supposed to mean anything.
It’d be a very bold prediction to say all of the unscratched Pokemon all have Alola forms. (EDIT: Or at least apprearing in the Alolan dex.)
Also Charizard is a ride Pokemon which discredits this a bit… unless Charizard really ain’t in the dex and is just a guest only for the ride feature…
I dunno what the context was, I just remember people throwing these around.
I partly suspect Charizard being a ride pokemon means it may only be there as a ride pokemon and nothing more. Though I admit, they could have chosen a cooler flying type.
I think the Riddler intended to mean it’s in the game but not alolan, but again, I take everything he says with a mountain of salt. I just put this here to give people something to talk about.
Well should it be true, I’ll just remember Riddler and keep them bookmarked until the next game.
What’s up with all the shitty dark types????
I liked the Meowth.
Raticate was getting bad.
This is a whole other level of awful.
I didn’t like any of them. I won’t mind them if we actually get new good dark type pkm though.
Just the dark ones or all the alolans?
I was talking about the dark ones, but I don’t really mind the other alolan forms. I actually like marowak
Inb4 Ash gets Alolan Grimer and Bond Phenomenons with it ffs
That moment when everyone is excited about Ash-Grimer being available on the Gen 8 Demo XD
How about James…
James gets a Bewear, I just know it
I theorized that Jessie will get a Salandit and as for James what about Sandygast it kinda fits them
Depends if Sandygast eats James just like Victreebel does.
Nahhhhhhhhhh
Has it ever taken this long between the first image leaking and all the rest?
