While we await the official information drop from The Pokémon Company this week, CoroCoro magazine revealed some interesting 'mon and an antagonistic rival team. The scans have one more little secret though, which is a quirky little Pokémon.
Spotted in a small graphic with no real details on types or moves, the 'mon below is called Namakobushi in Japan and - according to Serebii - it "is said to be able to send its insides out from its mouth and use as a fist". Hm...

There you have it. We can expect a flashy new official trailer and a glut of information on Friday.

Talk about a gut punch! It looks a bit like a sea cucumber.
...Wait, what?
Aww, it's so cute!! <3 The Insides punch thing not so much ...
Let's go gen 1 let's go!
Just like a sea cucumber spit out its guts to distract predators.
We knew we were getting a sea cucumber pokemon though so not surprised.
So it's basically a sea cucumber with punching action?
Yup, it spits out its guts and uses it as a fist. On a side note, more credibility for those Chinese leaks!
@CCore28 Seriously? This is really anything but lazy.
Eh....right...
Sea Cucumber... XD
So it's a mix between a sea cucumber and a mantis shrimp...
@fiben1002 more like sea cucumber fused with a bunny. just look at that cotten tail and soulless eyes like a rabbit, also its mouth isd a bit bunny like.
That sure doesn't look like a mouth...
I'll probably keep it, probably.
That description sounds like it came right out of Resident Evil.
@Jayvir I can understand why he might feel that way, we've had a major income of pokemon reveals. In a nutshell, it's like getting the stocking fillers after the christmas. Though in my opinion it's design is endearing.
Wtf
Hoping the chinese leaks are indeed real. Recycling the same formula of beat gym ===> defeat elite four got old after generation 3.
@Acein210 This isn't Pokemon GO thread. Aren't you usually posting those comments on Pokemon GO news?
looking forward to the evolutions
I loved it the first time I saw it. I have always wanted a sea cucumber pokemon :')
I've liked almost all of the new Pokemon so far. I bet this one evolves into something great.
@edgedino http://www.odditycentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Joruna-parva.jpg ^^ This. They're called sea bunnies. And, this Pokemon is anything BUT lazy. But then again I find every Pokemon to be awesome :3
Its mouth looks like the Kanji for 'Big'
I saw fanart of this earlier, gotta say I like it.
I like it.
I actually like it, seems pretty tiny and cute, heh...
""is said to be able to send its insides out from its mouth and use as a fist"
OH OK THEN
How are people saying this design is lazy? You have to be pretty messed up to make a Pokemon like THAT!
Anus mouth.
@CCore28 It's almost certainly a baby Pokemon or something like that. It has a simple design because of that.
Gen 1 still number 1 thanks to crap like this. Oh ya!
@LUIGITORNADO
Took long enough for someone to say it
So they make a sea cucumber Pokemon and call it "Sea Cucumber". Clever.
This is actually in some ways less weird than an actual sea cucumber, which expels its guts from its anus! It also seems to be partially based on a nudibranch (sea slug) in addition to sea cucumber.
So far I am NOT liking these new designs. I'm not saying that they're lazy or anything; they are very creative and unique, but the direction Game Freak is going with the designs does not appeal to me. Even their names are.... less than preferred. There are some I do like, but overall I feel this is one of the weaker batches of new Pokemon.
@LegendOfPokemon I completely agree with you!! Glad someone finally agrees with me, it seems like almost everyone LOVES these new Pokemon. And I'm not a Genwunner or anything, I really liked 6th Gen's Pokemon a lot. Probably my fav gen of Pokemon.
@Lugia Same here! Game Freak really focused on quality rather than quantity for Gen 6, and I really like most of the new Pokemon. Several have invaded my favorite Pokemon list (and my team), and I think the new Pokemon were one of the better qualities of X and Y.
@LegendOfPokemon
Counterpoint: You're freaking crazy.
Mimikyu and sandcastle are DA BEST.
@BLD I did say there were some Pokemon I liked! 😉
This is so lazy. Seriously scraping the barrel. They have run out of ideas.

I like this new sea cucumber gut fist thing though!
...Well then... Interesting... At this point, an Alolan Raichu isn't out of the question.
The first thing that came to mind when I read that was Oblina from "Aaahh! Real Monsters".
...I didn't even like that show. But I guess I know what I'm nicknaming it, anyway.
Fistmon? This is not good
I wonder what it'll evolve into
It reminds me of the video "true facts about the sea cucumber" on YouTube
@Thegentleman home in bottom
Honestly despite a fair amount of people not liking these new designs, I really do like them a lot better than the few previous generations. For me, it all kinda stopped after Sinnoh, but Hoenn will always be a second favorite.
This may just be the game to get me back into new gen Pokemon.
This better evolve into something decent to not warrant being a HM slave or just a pokedex entry.
Sea cucumbers are hilariously disturbing creatures. I didn't think there would ever be a Pokémon based off it, let alone one that keeps the internal organs attack in tact, but I'm glad it happened this way.
