Leaks of the monthly CoroCoro magazine have started to pop up and they contain some new information on Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon (credit to Serebii for the translation.

First up are some new moves for the main legendaries. Both Solgaleo and Lunala get new Z-Moves – Solgaleo’s Sunsteel Strike turns into Sunshine Smasher and Lunala’s Moongeist Beam turns into Moonlight Blaster. Necrozma can also use these two new Z-Moves in its respective new forms, Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma. Dusk Mane Necrozma also has a new regular move, Photon Geyser. Both new forms of Necrozma have the Prism Armor ability, just like regular Necrozma.

CoroCoro also reveals some new features for the Rotom Dex. It seems like you can somehow build up affinity with Rotom over the course of the game, which unlocks a variety of new things it can do. It seems like you’ll be able to talk to it and answer questions and it’ll help you get items with a feature called Rotopon. The big new feature, however, is that Rotom, using something called Z-Rotom Power, will allow you to use Z-Moves twice in battle instead of just once.
