Mythical Pokémon Magearna officially announced

Last week, we got our first look at the new Mythical Pokémon Magearna, courtesy of Japan-based magazine CoroCoro. Over the weekend, Nintendo and Pokémon Company International officially announced the new addition.

Mythical Pokémon Magearna is an "Artificial Pokémon sporting a metallic body." Created by humans 500 years ago, it is said that Magearna is the "ultimate invention."

Magearna will be making its debut in an all new full-length feature film, 'Volcanion and the Contriving Magiana,' slated for release later this year. More details will be revealed at a later date, but for now here's the synopsis:

"In this latest Pokémon full-length feature film, a mysterious force binds Ash to the Mythical Pokémon Volcanion when it falls from the sky. Volcanion can’t get away, and Ash is dragged along as it continues on its mission. They arrive in a city of cogs and gears, where a corrupt minister has stolen the ultimate invention: the Artificial Pokémon Magearna, created 500 years ago. The minister plans to use Magearna’s mysterious power to take control of the mechanical kingdom. Can Ash and Volcanion work together to rescue Magearna? One of the greatest battles in Pokémon history is about to unfold!"
