The June issue of CoroCoro has leaked, revealing two new Pokémon for the upcoming Pokémon Sun and Moon.

According to Serebii, the first Pokémon is called Nekkoala, the Half Awake Pokémon. It has the ability Definite Sleep (a brand new ability) that prevents it from being afflicted with any status that isn’t sleep. It is a Normal-type Pokémon.

The second Pokémon is one we’ve been sort of introduced to before. The dog/deer Pokémon that was briefly shown in a previous Sun and Moon trailer has now been revealed to be Iwanko and is a Rock-type Pokémon.

Iwanko is described as the Puppy Pokémon and will either have the Keen Eye, which prevents its accuracy from being reduced, or Vital Spirit which prevents sleep.

Alongside the new Pokémon, CoroCoro has released some new images of the upcoming Pokémon movie that features Volcanion and Magearna. The special Greninja being distributed alongside the movie in Japan was also given its attacks. This Greninja will have Hydro Pump, Gunk Shot, Block Mat and Happy Hour, and also have the Hidden Ability, Protean.

Magearna, the first Gen 7 Pokémon will be distributed to the movie attendees via a QR code. Its ability is called Soul Heart and will have the new attack, Furuuru Cannon.

CoroCoro has just leaked and more details will be translated soon and we’ll update as soon as we learn more.

CoroCoro promised its June issue would have an exclusive scoop and they delivered with two brand new Pokémon. Nintendo has updated its E3 2016 plans to include Sun and Moon, so we should expect more gameplay and possibly new Pokémon: stay tuned.

Pokémon Sun and Moon is set to release Nov. 18.
