Here at PokéJungle we aren’t above doing useless countdowns and speculations if there isn’t anything better to cover… and right now there really isn’t. The new information about the upcoming Nintendo 3DS titles Pokémon Sun & Moon are exactly 3 days away and what will be revealed is a MYSTERY.
Today’s topic of speculation is Solgaleo & Lunaala’s typing and names. Although we do know what they are to be called in Japanese, we still don’t know what their English names will end up being. Personally, I think Solgaleo may keep its name while Lunaala will most likely be changed.
More interesting than their names is probably their types; will Solgaleo be our FIRST FIRE/FIGHTING LEGENDARY?! We can only pray to Arceus that GameFreak has stopped their obsession with that combo and instead gone for the crowd-pleasing Fire/Electric instead. The mysterious “third eye” seen on Solgaleo may even mean it is part Psychic. Lunaala is an enigma, but seems to be a combination of Psychic/Dark/Fairy and Flying… we just don’t know.
Looking forward to seeing your thoughts below!

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Share Your Shiny Pokémon Stories!
Rumor: NoE Mini Direct “leak” for June 2nd.
https://m.reddit.com/r/NintendoRumors/comments/4lgotn/nintendo_direct_mini_june_2nd_2016/
“Includes Pokemon Sun and Moon info, Pokken Greninja DLC, Super Mario Maker update, Mother 3, Mario and Sonic Olympics, Mario Party 11, Color Splash, and a new Kirby game in the same vein as Planet Robobot, but with Giant in the name.”
Well it’s
probablyvery likely fake, but let’s have fun speculating. <3I honestly don’t care about 98% of what’s listed here……hahaha
But Sun and Moon is already 12.5%… heh heh heh.
I don’t know where you’re getting your numbers lol
There are 8 items listed above. One of it is Sun and Moon. 1/8 = 12.5% <3
Meh your math is more correct than mine….Boooooo!!!!!
Malco just reminded me why I always failed math in high school, xD
Yes yes yes
This is very smart and likely to be true. This will be plenty for me in replacement for E3, since we’ll be treated to a Zelda blowout. I just want last year’s event to be erased from my mind forever.
So WT being generous
Shiny Klefki and Shiny Tyrani
The toughest thing with gamefreak and news announcement is their patterning. On the one hand, they have a habit of trying to through curveball our directions. On the on other hand, their are patterns that exist. Sometimes gamefreak goes with the obvious option; sometimes they pull something crazy and break all their patterns. (Sometimes sticking with the pattern is the curveball.)
Anyway, my point being, everyone seems to be convinced that Solgaleo will be a Fire type. This is the obvious option because the Sun is associated with Fire. However, I think the coolest thing would be if they didn’t make him Fire. I look at Solgaleo, and I do not see Fire at all–especially since they literally just did that forgettable fire lion in gen 6. I see Electric (which actually makes more sense with the Sun physically), and I see Psychic. I think both Solgaleo and Lunaala will be part psychic type. For Lunaala, I think Fairy is the given. They wouldn’t push so hard for Fairy typing to be associated with the moon in gen 6th and then NOT make the moon legendary part Fairy. In Summary:
Solgaleo: Electric/Psychic
Lunaala: Fairy/Psychic
Cosmic/fire and cosmic/dark 🙂
We’re not getting a new typing so soon after Fairy
We got 2 new types in Gen 2… this is just a minor delay in new type rollout. 😀
Steel and Dark were created to balance out the then overpowered Psychic and Normal types, Fairies were created to balance out the dominance of Dragons.
The game is pretty much in balance now (although Earthen thinks otherwise xd) so there is no reason whatsoever to bring in another typing.
I don’t think its balanced. I think fairy is quite a powerful type, and needs maybe another weakness and a resist. Also Ice, Grass and Poison need a buff.
Yes, definitely
Cosmic type could be strong against fairies
I don’t think it’s balanced. Fairy is quite a powerful type (start with nerfing Moonblast to 90 BP). Water and Ground are still dominant types as well.
Also Game Freak were wrong to invent two types to combat Psychic. The reason Psychic was OP was due to a bug in ghost type along with the combined special attack and defence. Come Gen 3 onward, and Psychic is underpowered as all could get.
Fairy is also an overreaction the power of dragons. The reason why dragons are good is because they are usually the legends or pseudo-legends, plus they have good moves. Instead of making more dragon psuedos, they should make more uniquely typed pseudo-legendaries like Tyranitar.
Well guys in 2 Days we will get more info on Pokemon Sun and Moon!
A good week for me. Blood and Wine expansion (Witcher 3) came out today and in 2 days new Sun and Moon info 😀
Sun’s typing seems a tad more…straightforward for lack of a better word. Assuming they don’t add a new typing, it could be Fire, Electric, possibly Dragon & Fairy at a stretch (but I doubt it)
Moon on the other hand, well there are at least 6 types I could list for it
Psychic, Fairy, Ice, Dark, Flying & Ghost (maybe even through in Poison, who knows)
Personally I’d like to see Ice/Fairy or maybe even Dark/Fairy (the reason as to Fairy is obviously a lot of moon Pokemon & moves were changed in Gen VI)
I just hope that it isn’t part Flying, that would be a waste of potential.
Fire/Electric would be a new type combination, so I would like to see that. Lunaala is a tricky one, it could be a Dark/Fairy, Dark/Ghost, Dark/Psychic, Psychic/Flying, Ghost/Flying, Ghost/Fairy to name a few.
Personally, I hope its either Dark/Fairy or Ghost/Fairy
Unless you count rotom oven
I don’t count Rotom, its base typing is Electric/Ghost so I’m sticking to that lol.
I am so hyped about the new games and upcoming announcement, that I even tuned into the anime and rewatched all the big XY battles. Really hope for some good stuff. 51 hours to go.
Ok guys, I finally got my hands on Pokemon Platinum 😀
Even though Chimchar is my favourite Sinnoh starter, I’m probably gonna go with Turtwig for my 1st playthrough. Any suggestions on what kind of team I should be aiming for?
It’s up to you. Personally I use Pokemon that are from that Gen, and Gen IV has some great in game usage Pokemon.
Staraptor, Luxray, Drifblim, Floatzel, Garchomomp, Lucario, either of the fossils, Honchcrow, Abomasnow + any of the evolution of older Pokemon
I definitely want a Honchcrow, never had one before. Where can I find Dusk Stones in Platinum?
Victory Road, Wayward Cave, Galactic Warehouse
Definitely go for a Starly. One of the best regional birds out there.
Starraptor=my favourite flying type ever, defo getting one yes
Staraptor is a beast. Hawlucha and Staraptor are my favorite flying types
Well letsa see….
Turtwig is basically only good for Razor Leaf and Bite so you will need some muscle
Torterra=ground though^^ 😛
I’m talking about long run, sure you can plan for things like Honchkrow or Garchomp but getting those early is the issue
So I says, Turtwig, Starly, Shinx, Buizel, maybe even a Bronzor
Fair enough. Can you get a Bronzor and Buizel early on in the game?
Route 211
I can swear Sun’s legendary will be typed Light/Fire and, Moon’s, Light/Dark.
Not gonna happen 🙂
Cough, cosmic type
I want to vote Litten but the poll isn’t working… nothing happens when I click the “vote” button OR click “view results”. On ANY browser. And two computers. Had this problem forever with last poll… never fixed it, nor spoke up.
Actually, while writing this, it’s now just showing me the results. It seems like it might have counted my vote despite the glitches. Tell me… is Litten in bold text because I voted for it, or just because it’s winning?
Because it’s winning, I chose Popplio
so it’s still not working right then? 🙁
yep, 🙁
OH YEAH! WONDER TRADE IS AWESOME AND SO GULLIBLE! I got a meowstic, a torchic and a larvesta in exchange for a zigzagoon, a voltorb and a zubat!
Carbink for magnemite now!
Gastly for whismur!
How can they be gullible when they don’t see what they’re getting before they are forced to “agree”. <3
They are giving good pokemon thinking the world is good and will give em awesome pokes
I have a haunter, can I get someone’s help into evolving it?
Nyarghhhh the rest of the day and a solid day left until sweet glorious info
I really hope the official names are Solgaleo and Lunalaa, I’ve grown quite accustomed to them but luckily most Legendary Pokemon keep their Japanese names
Also one thing strictly Solgaleo Male and Lunaala Female (and not fairy)
Manaphy event has begun for those in Europe
