Two New Pokemon Revealed for Pokemon Sun and Moon

A leak of the newest issue of CoroCoro, a Japanese manga magazine, has revealed two new Pokemon that will appear in Pokemon Sun and Moon. The magazine, which comes out next week, revealed Nekkoala and Iwanko, two new Pokemon that will appear in the Alola region later this year. Nekkoala is a Normal-type Pokemon that resembles a koala and appears to have some sort of dream ability. Known as the "Contagious Dream" Pokemon, Nekkoala has the ability Definite Sleep, which prevents the Pokemon from suffering any conditions besides Sleep. Basically, Nekkoala can't be paralyzed, burned, poisoned or confused. Artwork for Nekkoala shows the Pokemon attacking while asleep, using a small log for balance.

Meanwhile, Iwanko is the dog-like Pokemon that appeared in the first Japanese trailer last month. Surprisingly, Iwanko is a Rock-type Pokemon, although no other details are known at this time.
