[UPD] December CoroCoro Leaks: New Pokémon, Ultra Beasts

As per usual, Japanese comic magazine CoroCoro has leaked and brought with it some new Pokémon Sun & Moon information. No other info was given was given about the black Pokémon shown above other than it being related to Solgaleo and Lunala in some way – third mascot Pokemon confirmed?

On the following page two “never-before-seen” Ultra Beasts are shown, but, once again, no other information is given about them.

And finally, the last scan shows rather familiar artwork of the starter’s final evolutions and showcases their special Z-Moves. In Japanese, Decidueye’s Z-Move is called Shadow Arrows Strike, whereas Inceneroar’s is called Hyper Dark Crusher.

[UPD] An uncut picture of the entire Ultra Beast spread has now appeared online officially revealing UB-05 Gluttony alongside the other two mysterious UBs. Like the other two no other information was revealed.

We’ll just have to wait and see what these three new creatures are when Pokémon Sun & Moon releases in a week!

  1. Even though I saw most of the leaks, the fact that the black monster isn’t a UB still surprised me o.o Also I’m curious what its connection to Solgaleo and Lunala is But since it has a different ability from all the other UBs maybe I should’ve expected that :’D I just thought it was some kind of “boss” UB, that would’ve been pretty cool as well.

    • Third legend is the thing that first came to mind. However the only connection it has is the whole Light stuff and it’s type. You could stretch it and say it’s the Eclipse Pokemon, but not much fits that. It may be the connection between the UB, and the Legends.

    • Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that Pikipek’s evolutions haven’t been revealed yet at all, yet we’ve had the Battle Tree, the entire psuedo-legendary line, and starter lines revealed beforehand. Makes me wonder if Game Freak even likes poor Trumbeak and Toucannon

  3. People are saying that they don’t get how it’s an eclipse or earth Pokémon but it’s a seems like a diamond or stone which is found in the earth. And it gets dark outside during an eclipse. Seems good enough to me for logic haha. And I’m sure there’s something a bit more to it than that too.

    Reply
  4. Quick question. Ive heard some people are already playing the games so i wanted to ask how many new pokemon there actuqlly are?

    Reply
  5. Don’t want to read any plot details but I really like Necrozma. If it is a legendary, I might use it eventually. Not a fan of using legendaries in your active team but Necrozma really appeals to me

    • I’m not the last thing I need is Psychics getting ANOTHER op legend
      And this thing stole Solid Rock as an ability in the cheesy knock off Prism Armor

      I swear competitive is just not going to be fun this time around everywhere Tapus and Ultra Beasts

      Reply
  6. Wow, was not expecting them to reveal what appears to be the third legendary, that’s quite strange. Same goes for new UBs, but no new pokémon or Alola forms. What’s even the point of keeping the tiny number of unrevealeds that secret anymore? It’s not like revealing Alolan Dugtrio or Pikipek’s evos is a massive spoiler, especially as they seem keen to spoil massive chunks they previously would hav kept well away from…

    Reply
  7. Also, don’t want to stir things up or anything, but the leak articles have been taken down here and that doesn’t seem to be an isolated phenomenon… So what’s the deal, was there a cease and desist or is this a preventive measure? I mean it’s not suprising the big N cracked down, and I guess even if you were careful not to post pictures or anything the articles certainly were a massive discussion area for the leaks, and you’re a high-profilr site so the raised awareness mattered…

    Reply
  8. Tbh, I kinda knew that Necrozma is related to Solgaleo & Lunala purely of the two distinct recovery moves that Necrozma has. Morning Sun and Moonlight for anyone that wants to know

    Reply
  9. Imo the only great competitive UB are the moon exclusives.
    [spoiler] the first one, being a rock/poison with incredible poor defense and 103 speed will die on the first eartquake. The big mosquito, bug/fighting, with incredible poor sp. def and the mediocre speed wll die on the first air slash/Psychic. The bug/Fighting fashion UB with huge speed and attacks can be a Deoxys clone so it may be a good sweeper if good used. The third one, the electric, has mediocre HP/Def/Sp. Def and speed, it can survive the 1KO just because of electric type being weak just to ground, so it can be useful with an air baloon, but will die for sure after the two stab sucker punch, aqua jet. The steel/flying one has great potential cause its type is really good and 97/103/101 is really a good bulk, so it can be a nice wall with all evs and defensive nature. The grass/steel one is border line because of ferrothorn being a better wall and offensivly it maybe be useful with decent speed only against physical pokemon, cause it has no possibility against a faster focus blast/aura sphere/flamethrower. The dark/Dragon is just a silly unuseful Hydreigon, which has no chance against any single fairy type in the metagame because of its poor speed and moderate bulk [/spoiler]

    • I’ve read there’s a daycare shortly after you hit cowboy territory. Came from Mike S on Twitter, one of the users that’s been going through the leaked game.

  10. I really like the design of the Ultra Beasts. They all have unique and interesting designs that set them apart from all the Pokemon that we’ve come to know. As for Necrozma I’m pretty sure eventually in the games all the UBs become classified as Pokemon since it seems you can catch them. I wonder why they outright called IT a Pokemon rather than putting up the charade that’s it’s just another Ultra Beast. Unless it was never called one and we only thought it was due to it’s appearance and placing in the dex lol I just find it interesting.

    P.S. I put up spoilers for others, but I also don’t want story spoilers so reply at discretion for me as well hahaha

  11. In a related question to my below post, does anyone know how to stop the spoilers tag? I know you put in front and I thought you do the same to end, but it just keeps going and covers up the text I have after the ending one…….lol

    • Lol so many references man. I mean, Alolan Grimer/Muk ability is Power of Alchemy. But some people still refuse to believe that there’s an alchemy theme happening in Pokemon.

      Reply
      • Tbh even if there was an alchemy theme outside of Solgaleo, Lunala and Magearna, a random ability on an Alolan form isn’t going to mean much

        Reply
          • Alchemy refers to the transformation of something

            In this case, transforming an ability

            It’s not that strong

            And what alchemy themes

          • Jewel of Life movie contains a lof of Alchemy. In fact, when Arceus creates the Jewel, its literally alchemy. Hoopa Unbound movie when those guardians are repairing the bottle, thats literally alchemy.

          • Arceus creating an egg for you that contains either Palkia, Dialga or Giratina from energy. Thats alchemy. Project AZOTH in XY/ORAS is alchemy. Mega Evolution is alchemy

          • Arceus creating an egg isn’t alchemy, it’s literally creating something from nothing

            That’s not alchemy, that’s showing it playing God

            Mega Evolution is literally just a power up, with very little overt alchemy themes.

            As for AZOTH, some alchemy themes doesn’t mean a franchise long alchemy theme. If anything it’s Gen 7 at most with minor mentions in past games

          • Creating something from pure energy is alchemy lol. I’ve researched it. Alchemy is about reaching both physical and spiritual perfection=also Mega Evolution. Pokemon need human assistance to achieve Mega. Primal Reversion is the complete opposite, where they tap into nature to achieve said physical perfection.

            AZOTH=literally God’s power

          • I’m sorry, but I’m finding this really stretchy

            Nowhere is it mentioned Mega Evolved Pokémon are perfect, in fact it’s quite the opposite. The SuMo Dex points out problems with certain Mega Evolutions, such as them becoming uncontrollably rageful, or having bodily features removed.

            And nothing and pure energy are pretty much opposites, ‘lol’.

          • Like, he saw all that on that guy’s Pokémon reboot theory videos on Youtube. I saw those videos yesterday and the guy has good points about the alchemy stuff (as in, there’s indeed a lot of alchemy references/inspiration in Pokémon games since Gen 4), but other things don’t line up very well and the overall is theory is one huge stretch.

          • Like I said, the guy has a lot of good points and seems really clever but I honestly don’t think GF would pull something big like that considering how lazy they are. Honesly, Sun&Moon’s plot/lore feels like XY all over again, as in, it has a bunch of loose ends that probably won’t be explained.

  12. So, yeah, I guess it really is the 3rd legendary. I honestly had my doubts and I don’t like that this is confirmed, mainly because I thought they had simply stopped doing “3rd game” legendaries after the treatment they gave to Zygarde. What’s even the point of creating a third legendary related to the first pair mascots if they’re going to simply ignore it later?

  13. “First it reveals two new Ultra Beasts and one mysterious black Pokémon which it says is a big mystery, and asks what it has to do with Solgaleo & Lunala.”

  14. I still stick to the UB’s representing Planets.
    Did you know before being named, Planets recieve a temporary Number, staring with UB.
    I’ve explained which before which ones I think are which.
    @UnburdenedLegume:disqus , if I remember right, Planets also fit into to Alchemy yes

  18. Ok I just finished looking over the stats and moves of the Ultra Beasts and that Celesteela or Celesteelia personally terrifies me
    That solid 97/101/103/107/101/63 defensive build and Steel/Flying typing is bonkers and I thought Skarmory were a pain
    And it unusually learns a crap ton of Grass draining moves for whatever reason Ingrain, Leech seed and gigs drain…

    The horror…. I hope all Ultra a Beasts get bumped to Ubers so I don’t see 4 or 6 of them every team

  20. Game Freak has been knocking it out of the park with these “third Legendary” designs. Kyurem, Zygarde, and Necrozma (along with all of the ones before those) are some of my favorite Pokémon in terms of appearance.

    Reply
  21. As much as I’m a Sinnoh child, I’d happily trade it for Alola Sequels where

    -Necrozma has plot relevance
    -Zygarde has stronger plot relevance
    -We get some more Pokémon exclusive Z-Crystals
    -We get some much wanted and needed Megas (Flygon, Milotic, Butterfree, Froslass, Slowking).
    -Since Alola gets a full blown E4, it develops a Gym Challenge to go along with the island trials
    The Kahunas and trial captain that make up the Elite 4 get replaced with characters like Hau and Guzma
    -We see development for the blonde haired, green eyes folk
