The July edition of CoroCoro magazine has revealed two new characters for "Pokémon Sun and Moon." They are Pokémon Kiteruguma and Pokémon Mimitsukiyu.

Kiteruguma is a bear Pokémon. It is a a Normal and Fighting-type, and has the abilities Klutz and Fluffy. Klutz prevents other Pokémon characters from activating the abilities of their held items. Fluffy, on the other hand, remains unknown, Serebii reported.

The character description reads: "People in Alola are scared of Kiteruguma to the point of having warning signs about it. It is really strong and can break anything in two. It likes to hug its trainers but is strong. Raising one puts your life in danger."

Meanwhile, Pokémon Mimitsukiyu is a Ghost and Fairy-type Pokémon with the Disguise ability. Based on the scanned imaged, this character can copy any other character. Its description reads: "Mimitsukiyu hates sunlight, preferring dark places. It is rumoured that the cloth covering its body is a strategy to avoid the sun. Don't try to remove the cloth it is said that those that do become afflicted with an illness."

Mimitsukiyu and Kiteruguma are the latest Pokémon that have been leaked prior to their announcement. Last month, Salandit was revealed prior to the July 1 announcement. Salandit is the first Poison and Fire-type Pokémon.

Meanwhile, "Pokémon Sun and Moon" will be released in a standard form, with no special edition packages. However, Nintendo has signed a deal with Amazon to release a special package, the "Pokémon Sun and Moon" Limited Edition Steelbook Dual Pack, VGA 24/7 stated.
