This month’s issue of CoroCoro has started to leak, bringing the latest Pokemon Sun/Moon news with it.

First, we have news about evolutions for Rockruff. The Pokemon becomes Lugarugan and has a different appearance based on it evolves during the day or night. Rockruff’s day form occurs when bathed in the rays of the sun. When full of the night’s power, it becomes the night form.

We also have a look at two Ultra Beasts called UB02, UB02 Beauty and UB02 Expansion. UB02 Expansion is shown appearing in Pokemon Sun, facing off against Tapu Koko and UB02 Beauty up against Tapu Koko in Pokemon Moon. While UB01’s name is a mystery, it may have a deep meaning.

In non-gaming news, CoroCoro also provides a first look at the Pokemon Sun/Moon anime, which will be airing in November. Ash will receive a Z-Ring and meet the Melemele Island Guardian, Tapu Koko. During the show, Ash is going to school and his goal is to graduate “like never before”.

For its next issue, CoroCoro teases that the magazine will show the true strengths of Type: Null.
