New evolutions for Rockruff, Ultra Beast UB-02, Sun & Moon Anime

[Cat333Pokémon]

In the latest CoroCoro magazine leak, it was revealed that Rockruff will be getting a new evolution named Lugarugan (ルガルガン) with two different forms. By day it's in its Midday Form (真昼の姿), by night in its Midnight Form (真夜中の姿).




In addition, Ultra Beast UB-02 Beauty and UB-02 Expansion will fight against Tapu Koko.




Next, the anime was renewed for a Sun & Moon season. Serena will no longer be traveling with Ash. Instead, he will be going to school on course for graduation.




Finally, there is mention of Pokémon GO and how the Pokémon characters in it (specifically, Generation 1) will "make a serious effort" (本気を出す) in Sun & Moon in their Alolan forms. It is not a confirmation of transferring Pokémon from GO to Sun & Moon, but merely an advertisement of Sun & Moon for the Pokémon GO players.

Edit: Clarified that transferring Pokémon from GO to Sun & Moon is not confirmed.

Update:
The evolutions are version-exclusive.

I guess Ash finally gave up on his dream

UBs sure are really out of place... I guess there might be some rather popcorn-inducing moments in the game. Or maybe it'll be all for nothing?

Looks like they're version-exclusive. The text in the corners of the next two leaked images says "Sun Exclusive Evolution" (サン限定進化) and "Moon Exclusive Evolution" (ムーン限定進化).

Another blurb states:

イワンコがルガルガンに進化するときに太陽や月のエネルギーが必要らしい。太陽と月といえは、あの伝説のポ ケモンがいるが…！？

For Rockruff to evolve into Lugarugan, it seems essential for it to sometimes be exposed to energy from the sun or moon. Speaking of the sun and moon, there's that legendary Pokémon...

I love the Charizard in the background.
