The latest issue of CoroCoro has confirmed that the next Pokemon movie is titled Ring no Ch?majin Hoopa (The Ring Genie Hoopa), and it will star the previously-leaked creature known as Hoopa. This is our first official look at the Pokemon.

Hoopa has a special power hidden in its rings, CoroCoro states. It can use both Psychic and Ghost moves. Additionally, Hoopa will appear in Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, but not through normal play.

Finally, CoroCoro confirms that World Hobby Fair attendees will be able to receive a special level 70 black-colored Rayquaza with the moves Dragon Pulse, Thunder, Twister, and Extreme Speed.
