The upcoming Japanese expansion, Gaia Volcano/Tidal Storm, is featured in next month's issue of CoroCoro. Revealed in the issue are the featured Pokémon-EX for each side, Kyogre-EX and Groudon-EX, and the Stage 2 starters: Tidal Storm's Swampert and Gaia Volcano's Sceptile and Blaziken. Also revealed is that the expansions will each feature specific types to fit the themes of land and sea. Gaia Volcano will feature Fire, Fighting, and Metal-type Pokémon more prominently, while Tidal Storm will feature the Water, Darkness, and Fairy types moreso.

No images are currently available, but the text has been posted online by Jamaikan and endeavor, who both mention that Groudon-EX's text is rather obscured and hard to make out.

Update: : Images have made their way online, courtesy of twitter users Subaru stars and biryu. Groudon-EX is numbered 039/070 and Kyogre-EX is numbered 031/070. Groudon-EX's translation has been added with the new images.
