The latest version of Japanese magazine Corocoro has revealed another new Pokemon!

It's called Rukario, and it along with Munchlax are set to feature in the 8th Pokemon Movie, Mew and Wave Guiding Hero.

The below scan is the only image we have of this elusive 'mon, and as usual, it's a shadow. Just to annoy us, of course.

Thanks to Jelmer for the image!

UPDATE: Jelmer's also managed to translate the text shown around Rukario's picture!

Mew: Does Mew have a deep connection with Rukario? It is certain that Mew and Rukario are in an important relation judging from the title. Is the hero the one who defends Mew? It is not known what Mew's role is although Rukario can be understood.

Blaziken: Is Rukario a fighting type like Blaziken? The keyword is hero (brave man) and type of person. Is it good at physical attacks (Nikudansen)? Does it have a good technique? Blaziken looks very much like the shadow. Do they look like each other?

Hmm, interesting. The 8th Movie is also supposed to feature Regice, Regirock and Registeel, meaning Ash keeps up a 100% record with meeting a new legendary is every movie. He's so lucky, really.
