It seems we have yet another leak ahead of Pokémon Sun and Moon . This time, it seems the video that was supposed to be released Aug. 12 has been seen and screencapped by some message boards.

According to these boards, and Serebii, the upcoming Pokémon Sun and Moon trailer will reveal a brand new Pokémon, a new Alola form and the English name and abilities of the sea cucumber featured in the August issue of CoroCoro.

UPDATE: The official trailer revealing all the new goodies has been reelased.

Spoiler Alert! If you don't’ want to know the identity of these new Pokémon or the new Alola Form before the official reveal turn back now.

According to this supposed leak, Raichu will be getting a new Alola Form.

Raichu in Sun and Moon will become an Electric and Psychic-type Pokémon with the new ability Surge Surfer. The image did not specify what the new ability can do but we’ll update as soon as we learn more. UPDATE: Surge Surfer doubles the Pokemon's speed when Electric Terrain is on the field.

As for the aforementioned new sea cucumber Pokémon, the English name will reportedly be Pyukumuku with the ability Innards Out. It is also a Water-type. Again, we don’t know what this ability actually does, but will update when more information is available.

The small fish that can transform into a school of fish from the initial CoroCoro leak has an English name and it is Wishiwashi with the ability Schooling.

There is a brand-new, never-before-seen Pokémon called Morelull that’s a Grass and Fairy-type Pokémon with the abilities Illuminate and Effect Spore.

Alola Mewoth has the abilities Pick Up and Technician.

Alola Marowak has Cursed Body and Lighting Rod as abilities.

Again, these leaks are not confirmed by The Pokémon Company so take this information and images with a grain of salt; however, with the leaks coming so close to the Aug. 12 video release, it’s hard to not believe them.

We will update the story as soon as the video releases, which may be sooner than Aug. 12, considering the leaks have already begun.
