Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon - CoroCoro
The first images from CoroCoro have leaked and have revealed the latest news on Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. As always, do note that translations are preliminary while we work on them.
First, it reveals special Z Moves for Dusk Mane Necrozma & Solgaleo using the Solgaleo Z which turns Sunsteel Strike into the move Sunshine Smasher, and Dawn Wings Necrozma & Lunala using the Lunala Z which turns Moongeist Beam into Moonlight Blaster. It also introduces a new move known by Dusk Mane Necrozma called Photon Geyser
It also confirms both of the new forms of Necrozma have got the ability Prism Armor.
In addition to this, it mentions Z Rotom Power, where if you have good compatibility with Rotom, it can power up Z-Moves by letting you use Z-Moves more than once in one battle. Rotom Dex also has various new features introduced in the game. The magazine lists it as becoming more like you the more you use it. Rotom will also help you to get items & powers using a feature called Rotopon which access items in a feature listed as "Rotom Power" which do things such as boost experience. You can also interact with the Rotom Pokédex more, answering questions from it and getting reactions
We'll bring more as it comes

Pokémon Sun & Moon - Unova Cap Pikachu
To tie in with the 20th movie, Pokémon! I Choose You, the third of the Ash's Pikachu is available with the code PIKACHU20. This distribution provides Unova Cap Pikachu, which has Ash's hat from the Black & White series of the anime. This Pikachu also comes with the special Pikashunium Z Z-Crystal which turns the move Thunderbolt into the Z-Move 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. This distribution is available until Monday October 16th and you can only use the code to redeem one of the 6 Ash's Pikachu so choose wisely. The event will change each week until all 6 of the Ash Pikachu are obtained:
