One of the coolest aspects of the forthcoming Pokémon Sun and Moon is the fact that many older monsters are getting types that are unique to the game's setting.
Thanks to Japanese magazine CoroCoro, we've now got another variant to add to the list. An image of the Alolan Grimer has surfaced, presumably a Poison/Dark type.
In the same magazine - but currently unconfirmed as no images have surfaced online - is Jangmo-o's evolution. According to Serebii - a site which is far more up to speed on this kind of thing - it is:
...Dragon/Fighting-type, and that Type: Null it evolves into a Pokémon called Shiruvadi (シルヴァディ) and that either Null or its evolution change type based on items it holds.
What are your thoughts on the different types of existing monsters in Sun and Moon? Let us know by posting a comment.

Did Grimer eat a jar of mustard or is that brown and yellow color scheme supposed to be toilet humor?
If the unconfirmed stuff is actually true, I think that confirms the Type: Null = Failed Arceus clone theory.
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy The theorists will be having a field day
Aw man, if only it was brown. Then I could of had the Great Mighty Poo in my team
Wow, I'm not sure but this just might be the first Poison/Dark type combination in Pokémon. Pretty interesting how Alolan's are just being used to explore every unique typing combo that normal pokemon haven't. Every possible typing under the sun will be incredible to see.
@Rhydas : Stunky and Skuntank (from Gen IV) were Dark/Poison from memory.
@Grandpa_Pixel : It's not too late. Perhaps Alolan Muk will have a more pooey colour scheme.
@Grandpa_Pixel Hopefully, Alolan Muk will be the Pokémon this world needs.
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy @sillygostly You mean something like this?
@sillygostly You're right - how did I forget those two? Weird.
Well, hopefully Alolan Grimer and Muk will be much more viable - not that I'd use them. xD
Apparently, Shiruvadi's ability is "AR System", which changes its type based on held item.
Sorry bout that guys. Computer told me my posts wouldn't go through...
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Sorry about that - I removed all the duplicates.
You might want to do the same though.
Anyone else holding out for an Alolan Voltorb and Electrode? I thought they could look like Safari Balls.
Most looking forward to Aloha Marowak. This guy looks kind of more gross than before with the yellow color around his mouth
Alolan Grimer is a toxic waste-d opportunity, pun intended.
I mean, theories about Alolan Grimers involved a "purified" Grimer which would have been an interesting take on the, er, character.
Instead they went with an even dirtier Grimer... well, whatever.
It's just that... dang it, Alolan Vulpix was such a promising start!
@sillygostly @Rhydas Don't forget Drapion, as well.
I was hoping Alolan Grimer would be lava
All these Alolan forms point to one thing: DARK TYPE GYM!
There won't be any gyms in this game, but maybe one of the island trials is located in a dark place or something.
They probably made it to be a ''team skull Pokémon'' like Alolan Marowak.
Dragon/Fighting eh? Awesome! Another Dragon neutral to Ice type moves.
That Alolan Grimer looks pretty cool.
@ShadowLuigi2 Though 4x weak to Fairy.
I was hoping there would be a few Alolan Grimers. You could have poison/fire and have a lava one, poison/rock and have a mud one, poison/ice and have a snow one, etc. All the same shape, but different color schemes
I wanted to use one, until I saw its cholor scheme D=, damn hope the shiny looks cool...
I was hoping for a pure Fire Grimer that's molten lava.
@AlphaJaguar we already have Slugma though. I feel like a molten lava Grimer would be too similar.
The name of Type: Null made me think, and subsequently saddened upon the realization of the thought's impossibility, that it would be ??? type. But no, that type's gone for good.
How did they manage to mess up Grimer's design?
Someone clearly managed to break into Pooh's house and raid his honey pots.
@Grandpa_Pixel Shiny Alolan Muk get?
@IceClimbers True, maybe it'll get Iron Head?
I'm down for all alolan forms but it would be cool to see different stats for the new forms and not just different typing and ability.

@Grandpa_Pixel
Mimimimiiii
@Tyranexx
Oh, bother.
Fighting Dragon kaiju's is what Pokemon was meant for.
