Serebii has changed its translated classification of Iwanko to "the Puppy Pokémon", unsure of the significance of the previous "Deep Eye", hasty translation error most likely

As for Magearna, a "Pokémon Ga-Olé disc" (the Japanese arcade game Pokémon Tretta's successor) will be distributed at the movie that gives a level 50 Magearna with an ability called Soul Heart and a new move called Fleur Cannon as well as Flash Cannon, Helping Hand, and Lucky Chant

In addition, CoroCoro says that the 3 starters as well as Iwanko have some kind of secret

[sir dooble]

Is that the English name? If so, I am going to giggle every time I encounter an I-wank-o.

[Masterlegodude]

I want to say that 'Iwanko' is the Japanese name, mostly because 'wan' is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a dog bark

Is that the English name? If so, I am going to giggle every time I encounter an I-wank-o.

It's just the direct translation, Nintendo should be releasing the localized name in the next few days

Some footage recorded at the Taiwan National Championships reveals Zygarde being used in Sun & Moon, starting in its 10% Forme and then transforming into its Complete Forme when at low health before unleashing a powerful beam attack currently known as Core Punisher

It can also be seen using Thousand Waves and Thousand Arrows

Update: The trailers have been officially posted to the Japanese YT channel [1][2]

The first bit of Nintendo's E3 segment revealed plenty more about Sun & Moon, a lot of which is summarized in a new trailer

A quick summary:
- 3 new Pokemon: The Normal/Flying woodpecker Pikipek (the one shown in the original teaser), the Normal mongoose Yungoos, and the Bug grub Grubbin
- Magearna's ability Soul Heart raises Special Attack any time any Pokémon faints in battle
- A 4-player free-for-all battle mode
- Trainer customization returns
- Something called "Tapu Koko" that holds a secret significance
- 4 Guardians that watch over each of the 4 islands of Alola
- New battle interface that shows type matchup information and any stat changes Pokémon are affected by
- Feedback on which NPCs are battle-ready trainers

Late last night, several new Pokémon were leaked onto /vp/, and following that this morning the Japanese YouTube channel has released a video detailing them

In order of appearance: Tapu Koko, the guardian of the starting island, is Electric/Fairy and has an ability that automatically changes the field into Electric Terrain upon entering battle; Charjabug and Vikavolt, the evolutions of Grubbin, are Bug/Electric; Drampa is Normal/Dragon; Bruxish is Water/Psychic and has an ability that negates priority moves; Cutiefly is Bug/Fairy; and Togedemaru is Electric/Steel

[Private McDoggy]
