 Corocoro October Leaks #2

Was going to update the post, but the latest leaks sorta speak for themselves. We were hinted of a potential evolutions of Type: Null and the entire Jangmo-O line and the Corocoro leaker delivered. Going to use their Japanese names for the time until the localized ones have been announced.

 

Type: Null and its Evolution Silvadi



(Serebii)

As hinted throughout most of last month, the "secret" to Type: Null has finally been revealed with a new Evolution, and some interesting mechanics similar to a certain legendary. The new Pokemon is called Silvadi (in Japanese) with the theme of its evolution based on "gaining the trainer's trust" by destroying its helmet. From previous information regarding Type: Null, apparently the helmet is used to inhibit its strengths, however now its seems we find out by "removing" the helmet via potential happiness method, the Synthetic Pokemon achieves a new form. According based on the new information, Silvadi's has a new ability akin to Arceus's Mulitype called AR System. Essentially how AR System works is Shivadi must have an item called "Memory" which allows it to be 18 types. According to Serebii's source, we aren't sure about how "Memory" works, whether its similar to the Arceus Plates like there being specific "Memory" items to allow Silvadi to become one of of the types. Finally Silvadi has a new move called "Multi-Attack", which changes type based on the item is holding, likely the new Memory item. Base on design alone, have this feeling Game Freak intended to make Silvadi and Type: Null among the strongest Pokemon released in the Alolan Dex, however we'll have to wait and see how powerful they are in mid-November. 

 

 The Jangmo-O Evolution Line



(Twitter: Poketrends)

Following the reveal of Silvadi, we get confirmation of the new Jangmo-O's Dragon Evolutionary line, which both new forms gain a new type combination as hinted earlier. The first stage evolution is called Jarango, which gains now walk bipedal and gains an secondary Fighting-type. The final stage of the Jangmo-O line is a Dragon/Fighting Pokemon named Jararanga, looking far imposing and obviously strong. We don't know if these Pokemon are the Pseudo-Legendary line for the Alolan Region, until we get to see the stat allocation add up to 600. The only other information mention is from Pokebeach's translation which states both Dragon/Fighting-types learn Sky Uppercut. For those who want a refresher of Jangmo-O's abilities, both are Soundproof and Bulletproof respectively.

Pokemon Su/Mo "First Two Hours Preview"

While we didn't get any further information from Corocoro, apparently there was an press event which allowed multiple people and news outlets during a Nintendo Event at San Francisco where they were allowed exclusive game-play clearance of Pokemon Su/Mo for up to two hours. Multiple people and outlets got the chance to play Pokemon Su/Mo, likely hinting the game has, or already close to finished. I'm not going to "reveal" some of the discoveries these news sites have found when playing the game (except that screenshot), but will list down two links with information regarding everything covered. Will leave a list down below.
