The Japanese Manga Magazine, CoroCoro, has recently released its latest issue, featuring images of a speculated new Pokémon. As per Nintendo Insider's report it shows a mysterious creature looming in the darkness before lightness illuminates its presence. According to a Nintento Insider report, the shadowed Pokémon has three glowing eyes on its face, similar to Hoopa in its unbound form, only without the horns.

The photos were reportedly snapped from the trailer of the third "Pokemon XY" film which is shown after the credits roll in "Pokémon XY Movie: Hoopa & the Clash of Ages". Christian Today reports that the new entity may have a connection from what happened to the second XY Film, considering the scanned background images which are noted to be from the Hoopa movie.
