Alolan Grimer has been revealed in CoroCoro, Poison/Dark.

Type: Null evolves into Silvadi. It is pure Normal type but has the new ability, AR System, which changes its type ala Arceus.

Jangmo'o evolves into Jarango and Jararanga. They are both Dragon/Fighting.

Scans in the usual place.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

Awesome I love me some Pokemon news

 

[GoldStarz]

Reminder that coverage on Type: Null is expected this issue for people who might've forgotten.

 

[Not75Drops]

I guess this was the unrevealed Alolan form from the previews coming out.

 

[KZXcellent]

Alolan Grimer looks like such a dork. I can't wait to see Muk.

 

[magnificenz]

Wow! Great typing, only weak to ground ala Drapion. I love Muk too.

 

[Charlie0108]

Wow! Great typing, only weak to ground ala Drapion. I love Muk too.

Don't forget Skuntank as well!

 

[Forkball]

It's.... A DIFFERENT COLORED GRIMER. That ate honey.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

It's so ew...

 

[WonderRade]

man i hope they have better stats, i welcome a new poison/dark muk

 

[show me your skeleton]

he has a little beard.

anyway all alolan pokemon will have alolan evolutions, right?

 

[Debirudog]

It's.... A DIFFERENT COLORED GRIMER. That ate honey.

IT HAS TEETH.

 

[Delio]

Neat and with good typing. Give it some good stats here and there and you have a solid mon.

 

[kuroneko0509]

he has a little beard.

anyway all alolan pokemon will have alolan evolutions, right?

based on stuff revealed so far, should be

Spoiler

yes I know alolan Persian hasn't been revealed yet :<

 

[Spinosaurus]

Looks like he's the great mighty poo.

Think it's the teeth.

 

[Charlie0108]

anyway all alolan pokemon will have alolan evolutions, right?

We don't know that for sure but I'd imagine so. We know that Alolan Pokemon can have non-Alolan pre-evolutions (I.e Exeggutor, Raichu and Marowak), but there is no really evidence either way for the evos.

 

[RocknRola]

Meh. After Ice Vulpix and Cute Raichu anything else will have an hard time winning me over

That said the new typings will prove to be fun.

 

[Delio]

I actually always loved Muk. So I'm pretty happy to see it give a useful typing. Cant wait to see what else we get.

 

[Dryk]

They really blew their load on Alolan forms with the first batch didn't they :/

 

[Forkball]

New idea: a black Koffing.

I call it... Alolan Koffing.

 

[chaobreaker]

Wow another dark Alolan type. How imaginative.

 

[Kyzon]

Those teeth...

Lmao

 

[Torokil]

so mamy dark types

 

[Neiteio]

Looking at Alolan Grimer, I started humming the Great Mighty Poo theme without realizing it

Good stuff! Bring on Alolan Muk!

 

[Not75Drops]

Apparently the yellow is based on coolant mixing with oil from an engine?

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

So the leak was real. Cool.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Man, this is a really bad Alolan change. Most of them have been pretty good so far, but this one is right in the smacker of "original character do not steal". It was painted black, given teeth, and the jaw made yellow for absolutely no explicable reason. What a terrible thing to do Grimer!

The sole upside is that Dark/Poison is a fantastic typing and Muk has always had some good stats, so Muk-in-name might bump up a tier. It's just a shame that Muk will be accompanied by such an ugly design!

 

[Not75Drops]

From the usual place

10:20: From the same source, but currently without pictures so it's unconfirmed, Jangmo-o's evolution is in the magazine, and is Dragon/Fighting-type, and that Type: Null changes type based on items it holds, and that it evolves into a Pokémon called Shiruvuadi (&#12471;&#12523;&#12532;&#12449;&#12487;&#12451. We'll bring confirmation of this as and when it comes so keep checking back.

 

[Neiteio]

Where did you read that? Are there translations available somewhere?

 

[Delio]

From the usual place

Dragon/Fighting yes yess. Not the Dragon/Steel mon I wanted but I'd take it.

 

[Razmos]

According to Serebii Jangmo-o's evolution is Dragon/Fighting and Type:Null changes type depending on the item it holds, and it has an evolution

Edit: Greninja'd

 

[Antiwhippy]

Should have been fire lava.

 

[GoldStarz]

So the leak was real. Cool.

I haven't heard of any leak saying Grimer had a Poison/Dark Alola Form.

Should have been fire lava.

woah they did both!!

 

[Akai__]

Ugly and waste of ressources.

From the usual place

Dragon/Fighting? I was hoping for Dragon/Steel, to be honest.

 

[Thud]

Terrible thing to do. It looked like crap before and it still looks crap.

That's the idea.

 

[Neiteio]

Dragon/Fighting is exactly what I expected, based on the description of him as a determined warrior.

 

[Not75Drops]

Where did you read that? Are there translations available somewhere?

Nah it's just speculation.

 

[sjay1994]

Aloan Grimer looks like that kid in pre school who keeps eating paste

 

[Drain You]

Never a huge fan of Grimer/Muk but hoping Muk improves upon this alolan design a bit. Typing is cool though.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I haven't heard of any leak saying Grimer had a Poison/Dark Alola Form.

woah they did both!!

There was a leak last week with Ash/Greninja before the trailer and Alola Grimer and a few more Kanto Alola mons.

 

[Delio]

Ugly and waste of ressources.



Dragon/Fighting? I was hoping for Dragon/Steel, to be honest.

Yeah Dragon/Steel was my hope but I knew it had to be between that and Fighting combo.

 

[Forkball]

According to Serebii Jangmo-o's evolution is Dragon/Fighting and Type:Null changes type depending on the item it holds, and it has an evolution

Edit: Greninja'd

Arceus connection confirmed.

[Akai__]

Yeah, the description kinda gave it away. :/

Hopefully they nail the evolution(s), though.

 

[Delio]

Arceus connection confirmed.

#deepestlore

So Aether was trying to clone the Pokemon God itself into their own weapon. Geez.

Yeah, the description kinda gave it away. :/

Hopefully they nail the evolution(s), though.

I hope so as well. Totally going to stand up I bet.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Arceus connection confirmed.

#deepestlore

oh damn

 

[ash_ag]

They're really close to making all potential Kanto region Dark-type retypings except the one I'm lobbying for. Dark Arbok, one day.

 

[SliceSabre]

That Grimer is a recolor piece of trash but that's ok because nobody fucking likes Grimer.

 

[Neiteio]

I like the look of the new Grimer. I think we're just feeling burnout from the fact we've had four Dark-type Alolan forms so far. And two more when you count Muk and Persian.

Arceus connection confirmed.

#deepestlore

Oh wow, you're probably right

 

[Akai__]

I hope so as well. Totally going to stand up I bet.

Watch them turning him into a Dragon with muscles.

 

[SliceSabre]

Arceus connection confirmed.

#deepestlore

Ahaha I knew it.

Me and several other people saw it but a ton of other people were like "Now way!!" when it was first revealed. Those limiters around NULL's neck are totally a cop of the arches around Arceus.
