This month's CoroCoro Comic has revealed two new Pokémon, Nekkoara (ネッコアラ) and Iwanko (イワンコ). Note that these are transliterations of the Japanese names, and are likely to differ in English.

Nekkoara is Normal-type and has the new Ability Absolute Dreaming (ぜったいねむり). It appears to be based on a koala. Nekkoara is 1'8" (0.5 m) tall and weighs 20.3 lbs. (9.2 kg).

Iwanko is Rock-type and has the Abilities Keen Eye and Vital Spirit. It appears to be based on a dog. Iwanko is 1'04" (0.4 m) tall and weighs 43.9 lbs. (19.9 kg). This Pokémon previously appeared very briefly in a trailer uploaded on the CoroCoro YouTube channel.

Solgaleo has an alternate form known as Rising Phase, in which it is described as being like the sun. In this Phase, it appears more radiant and its colored accents all become yellow.

Lunala has an alternate form known as Full Moon Phase, in which it is said to call the moon. In this Phase, its wings glow white, highlighting its skeletal structure.

Magearna has the new Ability Soul Heart. It can learn the new move Fleur Cannon.
