Jun 12, 2016 10:33 PM EDT

Since the announcement of Pokémon Sun and Moon, Nintendo has been keeping quiet about the features and gameplay of the game. Now, the latest edition of CoroCoro magazine published leaked images of two new creatures. Also, the final form of Legendary Pokémon Zygarde is revealed.

Here's the latest round up of update about Pokémon Sun and Moon release date, features and rumors on the web.

The June edition of CoroCoro magazine reported Pokémon Sun and Moon will feature Nekkoala, the Half Awake Pokemon. This creature is a Normal-type monster and it might appear near the beginning of player's adventure. One of Nekkoala's abilities is Definite Sleep that prevents it from being attacked other than Sleep.

The second creature that will debut on Pokémon Sun and Moon is Iwanko which has dog-like appearance. This creature is a Rock-type Pokémon. Its abilities are the Vital Spirit  and the Keen Eye. The latter prevents its accuracy from being reduced.

Furthermore, a video posted on Youtube reveals the final form of Zygarde. The video starts by showcasing the 10% Form of Zygarde which looks like a dog. After that, the Legendary Pokemon evolved into a Gundam-like form that can unleash powerful attack.

Kotaku reported Zygarde's life starts as a Cell, and it evolves into a brain-like Core.  It achieves its complete form when there is a treat, or when the plot calls for it. 

Aside from Nekkoala and Iwanko, CoroCoro also published new images of the upcoming Pokémon movie that features Volcanion and Magearna.  In addition, Magearna will have new attack called Furuuru Cannon.

We previously reported the starter class of Pokémon Sun and Moon. Players can choose from Rowlet, Litten and Popplio. So far, Litten is the fan-favorite favorite because it's a cat. Unlike ordinary kitten, Litten is covered with flammable fur. Some its abilities are Blaze and Ember. Many gamers say the cat could one of the strongest fire type Pokemons in the game.

Interestingly, the covers of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon feature a gigantic lion and strange-looking bat. Nintendo has not yet revealed the abilities of these mysterious monsters, but it is speculated they are Legendary Pokémons.

We are expecting more details about the Pokémon Sun and Moon will be announced at the E3. We'll give you more details as soon as we know more.

Pokemon Sun and Moon will be released for the Nintendo 3DS on November 18, 2016.
