[DISCUSSION] Pokemon Sun & Moon News Thread (Will Contain Pre-Launch Spoilers)

[Black117]

So I was going to cover the corocoro leaks, but I noticed someone (probably another leaker from TCPi) took the time to get clips of the new Pokemon and posted around the internet. Going to post these as is in a spoiler box, so open it if anyone want to see the new Pokemon. (Images are from Serebii/Pokejungle)

New Grass-/Fairy-type Pokemon




This was one of the Pokemon in the Corocoro leaks so confirming its real. Name of the new Water-type Pokemon is Wishiwashi, with an ability that allows it to change forms based on the level. Going to leave a link to the video showcasing Wishwashi down here. 



Alolan Raichu has been revealed with a new Electric / Psychic-typing and the new ability Surge Surfer!







We also got the leader of the new Evil Team (Team Skull), at least one of the admins, and the designs of the Grunts.



The apparent sea cucumber Pokemon speculated in one of the Chinese leaks. Seems to have a new ability called Innard Out, but we don't know what type of effect it will have in-battle.



Alolan Marowak gets a brand new typing: Fire / Ghost, keeps Lightning Rod as one of the abilities, and gets Cursed Body as a new ability.



New Alolan Meowth with the Dark typing, same abilities.

Thursday Update:

Finally we have the latest Corocoro scans, however some of the stuff has been covered via leaks and the trailer posted below. Not going to explain what most of these Pokemon are or the new antagonist team until TCPi releases more information regarding them. There were 3 Pokemon in the exact evolution line revealed based on the Japanese Corocoro scans based on sand castles, and a pre-evo of Bewear. The smaller castle is called Sunabaa while the larger evolution is called Shirodesuna with both the Ground/Ghost-type. Not much descriptions regarding these Pokemon are shown aside they are "cursed" sand piles and Shirodesuna seeks out life force of living things, almost similar to Chandelure's behavior. The last Pokemon revealed is the pre-evolution of Bewear, Nuikoguma, who is apparently doesn't like he being touched and exhibits strength though not as strong as its last stage. The only other information revealed is next issue of Corocoro will have discuss Iwanko or Rockruff's method of evolution, which almost everyone has speculated to be rather "unique".

For the time being, there might be more stuff revealed it the coming days, but chances are it will be the leaked trailer stuff. The "best" hope for Sun / Moon news is to watch the opening ceremony of Pokemon Worlds at San Francisco (streamed on Twitch), since in the past Junichi Masuda has revealed some information before. Some of these reveals include Mega Kangaskhan (who we all want nerf this gen), and Mega Slowbro, or at least showcased as the Korean site accidentally showed Mega Slowbro a day later. Keep in mind Junichi also revealed the Zygarde Perfect and 10% forms in-game as well as how to get the last stage form in battle back in a Pokemon Nationals event in Hong Kong. Maybe I have my hopes high for the reveal, but chances are it might get leaked with the pace of the news we've been getting lately. Anyways feel free to discuss any of the new Pokemon and features for Sun and Moon.
