Pokémon Sun and Moon rumors and supposed leaks are becoming a daily occurrence ahead of its November release date but the latest rumor is intriguing.

According to a 4Chan thread, which has since been deleted but screencapped by PokeJungle , there are three new Pokémon that will be confirmed in a video in September (possibly in the Sept. 1 Nintendo 3DS Direct).

The first is another boxing lobster named Loboxter. This will be the counterpart of Crabrawler, which was revealed at World’s, with both being version exclusives. Loboxter will also be a pure Fighting-type like Crabrawler.

The second new Pokémon is Dulfrost, which is the long-rumored snowman Pokémon and is an Ice/Ghost-type.

The final Pokémon is Uhaku, which is the evolution of Roackaby, a Pokémon that was featured in the now called “Artleaker” rumor from last week.

Of course, like the “Artleaker” rumor this new leaker provided sketches of the supposed new Pokémon and they look like so:

As with all of these Pokémon Sun and Moon rumors, you need to take them with a grain of salt before they are confirmed by The Pokémon Company, however, as the contents of this leak are plausible it does make it believable.

What makes this more difficult to take seriously is how it bounces off the “Artleaker” rumor that was hard to believe in the first place so both need to be true to hold any water.

With Sept. 1 having a 3DS direct, and possible new Pokémon information, we won’t have to wait long enough to find out if this is true.

In the meantime, let us know your thoughts on this new rumor in the comments section below.
