For the people who like cryptic crosswords AND Pokemon, I made a whole Pokemon themed cryptic crossword puzzle!

There's a mix of easy and hard ones, and general Pokemon knowledge IS required for a few of them. (Knowing abbreviations, acronyms, etc from Pokemon)

Okay, this one requires a good bit of Pokemon term knowledge, and the structure is kind of shoddy, but the surface was too good to pass up. So here it is, my most scuffed cryptic crossword clue to date.

Hoopa-ring before Kalos games (___ 6) is out? (6)

Yesterday's Pokemon themed cryptic clue was easy, but this one is trickier! A little bit of Pokemon knowledge is required, and the answer is a rather obscure word...
