The “Pokemon” movie, “Hoopa and the Clash of Ages,” is nearing its release date in Japan. And the latest CoroCoro leaks have shown Hoopa Unbound as an official Pokemon.

According to trusted Pokemon source Serebii, Hoopa Unbound is a Psychic/Dark type, and serves as a transformed Hoopa. When compared to the original Hoopa, it is a lot bigger, standing 13 times taller and 50 times heavier.

Apart from the Hoopa Unbound, the CoroCoro leaks also revealed six Legendary Pokemons that will be distributed this June. These include Dialga, Giratina, Groudon, Kyogre, Kyurem and Palkia. However, it appears that the distribution will only be available for Japan for now, as the Pokemon can be obtained via prebooked tickets to the movie. The six Legendary Pokemon will be at Level 100, with the following moves and items included:

- Dialga: holds an Adamant Orb and has Metal Burst, Overheat, Roar of Time and Flash Cannon moves

- Giratina: holds the Griseous Orb and has the Aura Sphere, Draco Meter, Shadow Force and Iron Head moves

Speaking of Hoopa, the movie coming out this year, titled “Hoopa and the Clash of Ages” in English, has recently received an English trailer. Pokebeach reports that this coincides with the same timeline as last year’s Diancie movie, which also receive an English trailer around April.

According to the source, the movie will also see a debut on Cartoon Network sometime later this year. “Hoopa and the Clash of Ages” will feature Hoopa as the star. Players of “Pokemon X and Y” and “Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire” may be familiar with this Pokemon. Hoopa is one of the three hacked Pokemon, together with Diancie and Volcanion.

While Diancie saw a debut in “Pokemon X and Y,” Hoopa was previously announced for “Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.” VG 24/7 earlier reported that Nintendo has already announce Hoopa for its latest “Pokemon” title, though it cannot be found through the normal gameplay.

In the movie, the protagonists led by Pikachu and Ash, will encounter the Hoopa. This Pokemon will show off its power of summoning things, people and Pokemon alike via its magic rings. The English trailer can be seen below, which shows off the mischievous Hoopa and a number of Legendary Pokemon.
