Leaked Pokémon Officially Revealed

The Pokémon leaked earlier today have been officially revealed through a YouTube video which can be seen above. The trailer is for the upcoming Pokémon Sun & Moon hitting the Nintendo 3DS in November.

  • Tapu Koko (JP: Kapu Kokeko) is Electric/Fairy and knows new move “Nature’s Wrath” and knows new ability which activates Electric Terrain
  • Charjabug (Denjimushi) is shown evolving into Vikavolt (Kuwaganon, kuwagata + cannon)
  • Drampa (Jijiiron, grandpa + dragon) is first Normal/Dragon-type
  • Cutiefly revealed to be Bug/Fairy
  • Bruxish is Water/Psychic. It’s ability is seen blocking Fake Out and previously Quick Attack, so it does seem to protect it from priority moves
  • Togedemaru is Electric/Steel and has the ability Lightning Rod

  1. Seeing official videos and artwork always makes me like Pokemon more.
    Guess I was right about the chicken-head Tapukoko resembles 🙂
    Normal/Dragon seems cool for Drampa, he fits it. I like how Tapukoko is a Fairy-type, because most fairies don’t look tough. Vikavolt looks better too in this video, especially its back. And the evolution part where Charjabug evolves into Vikavolt: cool!

  2. They always look so much better when there’s official artwork (Vikavolt and Drampa for me)
    What’s Hala doing with a guardian huh? Interesting, seeing as there are 4 guardians, could he want to collect all 4 or are there also 3 others like him on their respective islands?
    Tapukoko looks hella tough as a fairy, I’m excited to see what role it’ll play
    Considering using Vikavolt on my team providing that it’s stronger than your average early route bug

  3. Tapu Koko Electric fairy? Wow neat! I gues those thunderstorms are part of its abillity like when a sadstorm brews or hail starts. And it belongs to that Grandpa, wonder if he is an E4, I mean he is that islands keeper but could he be more?

    The electric bug line looks amazing in movement. 8/

    The mouse being electric steel is neat as well, wonder if it got an evo. The evo could look amazing.

    • Uh, well that’s the name of a move that already exists.

      Maayyybe all of the four spirits have abilities that automatically summon a Terrain Move?

  4. Just in case:

    Kapu Kokeko (Tapu Koko) – Electric/Fairy
    The two bugs are Bug/Electric
    Drampa – Normal/Dragon
    Togedemaru (Pika clone) – Electric/Steel
    Hagigishiri (The fish) – Water/Psychic
    Aburi (The small fly thing) – Bug/Fairy

    Reply
  5. Seeing the Trailer, I actually like all of them (Except the fish)

    Grubbin’s evo look really good. The Guardian is the Best out of them all, and it’s Ability looks like it activates Electric Terrain which means some use for it. The Little Bug looks cute.Drampa has grown on me. Bruxish looks like crap 🙂

    Also, does this mean the official reveal on July 1st will be the English version of this trailer?

    Reply
  6. I just woke up so I don’t know if someone has already asked about this, but what is Drampa’s ability that is shown in the trailer?

    Reply
  7. Wow so now we already have 16 Pokemon officially revealed (excluding Nekkoala and Iwanko). I love this generation! It seems so diverse.

    Reply
  8. The English names:
    The bee fly is called Cutiefly
    The two bugs are called Charjabug and Vikavolt
    The dragon is called Drampa
    The fish is called Bruxish
    The pika clone is called Togedemaru

  9. UGHHHH Two Fairies in one trailer barf
    But I was surprised that the Electric Rodent was Electric/Steel TOTALLY CALLED IT

    Reply
  10. Drampa’s ability is translated in japanese as “frenzy”.
    It raises Special attack btw
    I think it’s a new ability.

    Reply
  11. Any translations yet on those new abilities and what they do?

    One appears to instantly set up electric terrain, the fish prevents priority moves as we know from the leak earlier.

    The dragon & the hedgehog appear to have stat boosting abilities. Any ideas?

    Reply
  12. HERE ARE THE ABILITIES OF THE POKEMON – @Daniel Johnston:disqus

    Tapu Koko – Elekimaker – sets electric terrain
    Drampa’s ability is translated in japanese as “frenzy”.
    It raises Special attack – (new ability perhaps)
    Fish – ability called “Bibittobodi” – its a body ability – probably like nervous body or smth,
    Hedgehog’s ability – Lightning Rod

    Reply
    • No, why does everyone think it’s a freaking legendary in that bag
      Obviously Kukui gave her a Pokemon to experience being a trainer and or collect data and is reluctant because of her displeasure of fighting
      She stores her Pokeball in her bag and must of popped out and wants to get out

      Not some legend or mythical crammed into a small duffle bag

      Reply
  13. Togedemaru is the least cute pikachu clone in the entire franchise. It’s colors are just so boring and it’s spines colors are horrid to look at. At least its shape is cute.

    Reply
  14. Does anybody know what Drampa is based on? I’m not really feeling it so maybe if I knew what it’s suppose to be I’ll like it more

    Reply
  15. okay guys we got the new Pokemon and they’re typing,now we need to figure out what are their classifications?

    Reply
  16. I was thinking about evolutions and how people dismissed Inkay’s evolution method. I think they should implement more interesting methods like it just for fun
    I mean it could be that Charjabug evolves into Vikavolt when your 3DS is charging or something like that?
    Just adds a lil somin different to the games, although some might see it as annoying

    Reply
  17. A humuhumunukunukuapua’a (look it up)!!! Whenever I go snorkeling I see those little cuties… Or in Pokemon’s case, big cuties.

    Reply
  18. Tapu koko does a terrible job of pretending to be an innocent dismembered chicken head.

    In other news, Yes, to more fairies, one bad-ass, one adorable as hell. Cutiefly is very promising, if it evolves, I wonder if it’ll remain cute or go for a surprising, Magikarp-esque change?

    Bug/bus Charjabug is bit… Unique and plain, but the evolution is amazing, makes me think of a lightning sword, please have good stats… I don’t want to end up ditching you if you’re early-bug-tier.

    Togedemaru hardly rolls off the tongue, so many syllables! Something like Tokimaru would make much more sense and still have the same puns.

    Old man dragon just confuses me, such a bizarre one, something about the design feels awkward and I feel like the concept could have been done far better.

    NO, to tie-dye drag queen fish, go back to the 70s plz.

    Not bad in all, I’m liking them in general but so. much. yellow. gah.

    Reply
  19. ”Tapu Koko is a guardian that looks over the Melemele island. Strange Souvenir represents a protector, but not Tapu Koko”

    So, the Strange Souvenir from X/Y is basically confirmed as a hint to S/M

    Reply
  20. Woke to this pleasant surprise. Must have been crazy here last night. I wonder if we’ll get anything tomorrow then. Also, what’s with GF and slapping on the normal type to Pokemon these days? I mean, I guess it works this time, but it was unnecessary with Heliolisk and Pyroar.

    Reply
  21. To be honest, I’m in love with Alola so far. The designs are very fresh and unique and I love every single one so much. The region itself also feels very new. The only thing I miss is Iwanko. Why can’t they reveal it? I’m so curious…

    Reply
    • Yeah. I was expecting Iwanko and Nekkola in this package deal. I’m surprised it wasn’t revealed. Maybe the leaker only showed us Pokemon that were new and Iwanko and Nekkola were in the press release. Because I have a feeling that this new trailer here was devised at the last minute as The Pokemon Company I feel has been monitoring leaks and know more about the internet nowadays.

      • Corocoro has been really shady lately. It feels like that Game Freak has stop working together and has pulled the plug on their connection line.

        Reply
      • Well Misty prevents status moves, Grassy recovers hp if grass, Electric prevents sleep
        They really suck, they blind you with flashy visuals

        Reply
        • They increase the power of their respective type attacks.

          Grassy reduced the power of Earthquake

          Misty reduces the power of dragon type moves

          They are quite useful. Not in the same vain as weather conditions but they are new so we can get some abilities that take advantage of them too.

          Reply
  22. My favorite Pokemon of the seven revealed have to be: Vikavolt, Drampa, Bruxfish. Togedemaru looks cute for a Pikachu clone. Charjabug just looks weird. And I’m not sure what I think about Tapu Koko. And as for Cutiefly, I’ll have to wait to see the evolution(s) before final judgement.

    Reply
  23. So… is Tapu Koko a pseudo legend? If so then that could mean each island’s guardian is someone with rare pokemon or something. I doubt Tapu Koko is a normal pokemon found in tall grass…

    Reply
    • Might be! I kinda feel like they’re something other than Pseudo’s. Though, having 4 pseudo’s in one generation would be interesting, especially if they’re all pretty distinct from one another.

      Reply
    • I doubt it. I still think it might be legendary. I don’t think they can justify multiplying the sacred guardian of MeleMele.

      Reply
  24. My impressions of the new Pokemon:

    Tapu Koko – looks amazing, I love the design. Are we assuming that it is legendary, because I would think that they would specify if it was?
    Charjabug – Can someone explain this pokemon to me? The shape looks odd, is it supposed to resemble something computer related? It seems like an odd transition to its much cooler evolution.
    Vikavolt – I AM IN LOVE WITH VIKAVOLT!! This is the first Alola Pokemon other than Rowlet than absolutely has to be on my team.
    Drampa – Thinking about it more, the normal typing is actually a creative way to signify age. I think it looks good enough, but I hope it’s not the pseudo.
    Cutiefly – Looks good, but it’s nothing I would use personally on my first run through. Also I hope that it has a different English name because it sounds like they swapped out the B in beautifly for a C.
    Bruxish – Where do I begin with this Pokemon? Is it the regional fish that nobody usually uses? If I’m missing a specific animal or something that there basing it off of, please tell me. Otherwise I hate it. It’s just a fish with lipstick.
    Togedemaru – It looks ok. Nothing special to me. I feel like the spikes on his back should stay up, because it looks odd when they are down.

    Reply
  25. Someone posted here that Drampa has two immunities, I can only think of one which is Ghost. Dragons dont have a full immunity right?

    Reply
  26. These all look pretty awesome. Tapu Koko looks friggin sweet. The Normal/Dragon is kinda derpy looking haha but still cool. I hope it evolves into something awesome. Now if only we could get a non-Legendary Dragon/Ghost Pokemon… that’d be awesome… :'(

    Reply
  27. Tapu Koko has no Gender… Most of the times that means it will be a legendary. I really love the designs 😀 They are all very unique and now and I’m even more curious about their dex entries and additional information ^^

    Now that Tapu Koko has been revealed to have Electric Terrain ability effect..

    1 Electric Terrain
    2 Grassy Terrain
    3 Misty Terrain
    4 And perhaps a new one?

    I’m reallty liking all of the Alola region so far :D!! Yes, including the sassy fish 😉 Oh and to clarify.. Bruxish is is based around this:

    ” Bruxism is the medical term for grinding the teeth and clenching the jaw. People sometimes grind their teeth without it causing any symptoms or problems. But regular, persistent teeth grinding can cause jaw pain and discomfort and wear down your teeth. It can also cause headaches and earache. ”

    So the psychic typing could even an effect of this 😉 Just like with the headaches of psyduck!

    Reply
  28. pretty much for sure that we have the 4 types (guardian wise)

    Electric, Fire, Water and Grass.

    It’s an ode to Yellow, Blue, Red and Green

    Reply
  29. To me, Drampa reminds me of one of those cheap Chinese Dragons you see at Asian festivals. Because of the long neck it has, which is supported by sticks held by people. As soon as I saw Drampa, I was reminded of the Gyarados prop from that festival on Shamouti Island in the 2nd Pokemon movie.

    Reply
  30. It’s interesting because all of the Pokemon weren’t set at Level 50, Drampa, for instance was Level 44 and in a cave. Which I suspect is to the west of the Japanese city on the southeast Island. If one zooms in very very closely on the Alola map you can see a small road leading west out of the city into what appears to be a tunnel below the peak of that icy mountain.

    Reply
  31. okay guys we got the new Pokemon and their types,now it’s time to figure out what classification these guys got if anybody has a good guess let me hear it. 🙂

    Reply
  32. So let’s see
    Tapukoko is based on a chicken head mask and war helmet
    Charjabug a battery
    Vikavolt a firefly earwig beetle with electric mandibles
    Drampa elderly dragon
    Cutiefly a hummingbird moth
    Bruxish a humuhumunukunukuapua’a with bruxism which is mentally grinding teeth
    And Togedemaru a Hedgehog with lightning rod spines

    Reply
  33. Hey all, there’s actually one more new pokemon they showed by accident. In the scen where Tapu Koko falls from the sky, there are three grey birds with brown heads. I don’t know any pokemon that fits that description…

    Reply
  34. Okay but if Drampa would have a prevo, then wouldn’t that be the Pokémon revealed today? I have a feeling Drampa is a single-stage Pokémon.

    Reply
    • As Cutiefly666 pointed out, Drampa looks strikingly similar to Dunsparce. They have the same colour palette and Dunsparce’s eyes are closed but Drampa’s are wide open and omg so much theory behind that possible evo!

      Reply
      • I love this idea, though it might need a middle stage. Plus, having evos to old Pokemon is something I’ve wanted to return since gen 5.

        Reply
          • I agree completely. Slapping a mega onto every Pokemon that needs a buff is not the answer. We should get some Megas, but some new evos.

          • 3 stage Pokemon could easily get Megas, but Pokemon like Mahwhile, Glalie, and Houndoom could’ve gotten real evos.

  35. I can’t believe these were leaked! That is quite the interesting thing that happened. It makes me wonder though….does them uploading these now mean the news tomorrow is already here or will they have more new stuff for us and this was just an extra little thing? I guess we’ll find out tomorrow lol

    Reply
  36. The sheer amount of normal types, and the fact that they are revealing 7 Pokemon at once makes me think that we will get a large amount of new Pokemon this gen.

    Reply
  37. WHAT THE WHAAAAA!!!!! How does a leak this size even happen?! I hope this was what was supposed to be revealed tomorrow because i dont want to get too many new pokemon revealed before the game. Also tapu koko looks awesome, and cutiefly is…well a cutie fly lel i just wanna squeeze it hehe

    Reply
  38. Given Grubbin’s description and the fact that it looks like a beetle larvae I’m guessing Charjabug is it’s “caccoon” stage and Vikavolt its final stage.

    I could definitely be wrong but it seems plausible.

    Cutiefly is adorable!! I wonder if it’ll even have an evolution. I can’t believe they made a gnat cute.

    The four guardians will likely be part Fairy by the looks of it.

    Drampa is adorable.

    I was not expecting that Electric/Steel pikaclone, it’s adorable but I’m not a fan of the tail.

    Bruxish looks like a vicious gal, love it.

    Reply
  39. Vikavolt is sweet!! I love Cutiefly too though, it’ll be hard to choose a bug type if it has a cool evolution as well. I like Drampa as well, very interesting pokemon. I wonder if Tapu Koko is a legendary..

    Reply
    • No idea, but they released an official trailer for them pretty quickly, so we assume they’re what was to be revealed tomorrow.

      Reply
  40. I know this is the current topic and all, but Iwanko and Nekkoala have still vanished. Either Iwanko’s secret is a reason for this, or they simply forgot to reveal them.

    Reply
  41. Drampa will forever be named Lewis or lew for me. My grandpa recently turned 90, seems like a normal guy, but when you hear his stories from the war, and just from growing up, dragon also seems fitting g for him.

    Reply
  42. I’m not too sure about the name Togedemaru. It was not too smart to retain the Japanese name for that one, in my opinion. I love the design and typing, though!

    Reply
  43. Last article: Ew, these new Pokemon look horrible.
    This article: I love these new Pokemon, Alola’s new Pokemon are great!

    Reply
  44. I guess this confirms the theory of the Guardian Pokemon (Reminds me of Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs) being based on the Hawaiian gods: war god, fertility god, and the two other ones I forgot. I believe they’ll all be part Fairy. Maybe Flying/Fairy, Grass/Fairy or Water/Fairy, and Fire/Fairy.

    Reply
  45. Sometimes less is more you know. These pokemon are so simple yet so perfect. Really loving the path they took with gen 7 pokemons!

    Reply
  46. – Drampa: I want this on my team, possibly the oddest and most unique out of them all
    – Cutiefly: it’s name alone makes me want to put it on my team
    – Charjabug and Vikavolt: I never catch the regional bug (I had a special spot for Vivillon though) but their typing is very unique
    – Tapu Koko: awesome design and part FAIRY?! Yasss Gawd!
    – Togedemaru: possibly the cutest and second oddest one out of the bunch and I LOVE it
    – Bruxish: I don’t know her..

    Reply
  47. I saw a theory somewhere on the Internet that said that the four island guardians could link up to become a tiki (with Tapu koko being a head when it closes its arms, I think this is plausible). Here’s my theory with this: what if part of the reason that you are being sent off (or this becomes an objective somewhere in your journey) is to unify (not catch, just yet) the guardians to stop the evil team or stop the cover legends from something. I think that unifying a tiki from the guardians will take place in the story somehow at least.

    • The more information is revealed, the more my expectations rise. The amount of subplots and post-game material Pokemon can create is INSANE right now! I mean… sub-plots in Pokemon?!! The last time we had those was in Black and White!

  48. Out of all the Pokemon revealed today, I don’t think I will be using any of them during a Playthrough of the game. Still only got only my starter and rock doge

  49. I just need a few more Dragon types and Ghost types. Honestly, I cannot wait to see our pseudo Legend and AM DYING FOR A 3 staged Ghost line! Generation 6 did Ghost-types and Dragon types wrong!

      • I mostly go at a pace when I catch pokemon my team for Alpha Sapphire Mudkip(Starter), Zigzagoon(First gym), Rare Tailow (Knew Boomburst and lv.15 when caught 1 gym), Makuhita (second gym), Cosplay Pikachu (Third gym), Castform (Sixth gym)! As my full team I caught a Spoink but never used it!

  51. Alright guys it’s time we see about the new Pokemon and the best thing is to start off as the new electric rodent mascot for Generation 7 Togedemaru does this little guy evolve once,twice or just stay as the way it is?

    Reply
  52. There can only be two reasons for gen 6 to have 70 pokemon:
    1.Many of them were used in gen 5
    2.Many of them were saved for gen 7
    Bonus: They did not have enough time to finish many of them lel

  53. Wow i like the new ones i will buy both versions my first run with Moon and only 7.gen Pokemon

    My Team so far
    Litten
    Pikipek
    Charjabug

    Reply
  54. In the video, I wonder if the Pokemon these new ones are battling are future Megas. If you notice, they are all ones that have been speculated or fan favorites to become Megas for a while (Milotic, Flygon, Dragonite….). Thoughts? Or am I wishful thinking?

    Reply
          • eh, idk if i’ll keep it, it doesn’t stand out as much as the purple/pink one I used to have but for now, go DRAMPA! XD

          • I mean, if he’s ugly… he’s so ugly he’s cute, but i don’t think he’s ugly, more like charming

          • I like the concept. He is the “wise elderly dragon that heroes go to for guidance who has been dormant for many years”. Or at least that’s what I think of him.

          • Drampa isn’t bad but he’s definetly no Goodra or Dragonite. I wish his design was slightly less cartoony. I mean he kinda looks like he’s in pain the way his body is set up. How does it support its long neck and head ?

          • I think his design is superb, thats what draws me too him actually, 😛 but I also really like Goodra, who imo has a design that is just as cartoony as Drampa, I’d love to use them both in a double battle :3

  55. Who here is going to buy both versions? I didn’t plan on it, but I did it with XY because I started competitive battling, so I need one game to hold my Pokemon and items and breed, but I also want to Nuzlocke and play through it many times.

    Reply
  56. I love these Pokemon so far! GameFreak did not skim on Bug Types as we’ve had only one set in X/Y. I absolutely love Tapu Koko’s design, with it being my favorite so far. I do believe Charjabug and Vikavolt will be Grubbin’s evolution. Drama and Bruxish have some impressive designs, with Cutiefly and Togedemaru (aka Pikachu rip-off Number 6) have some cute aspects! Overall, these designs are making me love S/M!

    Reply
  57. The perfect scenerio in my head: Masuda attends worlds and they have a secret surprise. They then talk about Pokemon Sun and Moon as the tension and apprehension in the room builds to a sizzling degree. Masuda smirks, his fingers pointing nonchalantly to the screen and says a few final words before the room becomes pitch black. The screen buzzes and comes to life as a new trailer is shown. We are first shown an underwater battleground and out pops a dolphin Pokemon… ROARS AND CLAPS ERUPT AS THE DOLPHIN POKEMON ATTACKS… USING… CRUNCH! Confusion spreads like wildfire as the player catches the dolphin Pokemon and is revealed to be a Water/Dark type and has a three-chain evolution.

    Reply
  58. I don’t remember who stated the theory of the four guardians being a totem pole. What if the strange souvenir is used to unite the four guardians?

    Or it could just be a souvenir…that’s strange lol

  59. So much for a guardian pokemon…i mean knocking spearows out of the sky isnt exactly what a guardian would do lel unless they are evil spearows or something

    Reply
  60. I know a lot of people are wanting a dolphin Pokemon this generation and I agree that it would be nice to have one, but I’d love to have another octopus pokemon

    Reply
  61. Oh my i just remembered that orcas/killer whales are a type of dolphin! I hate to say this but we already have a dolphin pokemon in the type of kyogre

    Reply
  62. So I really think dunsparce will evolve into drampa. First of all they have similar color schemes, they have those white wings, they both are normal types, and it could be a similar gimmick from ugly feebas to beautiful Milotic with dunsparce (dunce) turning into a wise grandpa dragon. Sorry if this has been said before, the comment section is blowing up! 🙂

    Reply
  63. I hate the dragon. Reminds me of Steven Magnet from MLP. Steven is cooler. I like the electric bug type but not the middle stage of it. I wanted a damn dolphin that was water/Psychic, not a Spongebob character, I like the bee, I don’t care for Tapu Koko but it’s kinda cool, and I LOVE THE ELECTRIC STEEL PORCUPINE THAT I’VE FINALLY GOTTEN

    Reply
  64. I really hope this wasn’t July 1st news. It think this was part of it, but they will maybe reveal the characters and stuff tomorrow (assuming there was something else)

    Reply
  65. I woke up to some great news :3 I think these designs are pretty good overall. Not a fan of the middle Grubbin evo, but the last one really make me want to add it to the team. Tapu Koko is ok, but I feel the things on its arms are a bit too much, like without them it would be great. Drampa kind of reminds me of a dopey Pete’s dragon kind of thing, which made me giggle but it’s ok design-wise. Cuteifly looks really adorable, realyl want to see if there’s an evo. Bruxish look like a parrotfish to me, so it really nailed the design, even if I think parrotfish are not the prettiest fish. Really wished the Water/Psychic typing went to a dolphin, but it’s a nice typing. And then Togedemaru, which is the Pikachu clone of Alola I think. It’s not my fav Pikachu clone design but Electric/Steel is cool and I think it is cute.
    I think this was tomorrow’s news, but who knows? :3

    Reply
  66. Seeing a pattern of electric types from the first island.. What if Grubbin’s niche is that it evolves into the corresponding secondary type of whichever Guardian’s island it’s on? Like it evolves into Vikivolt on the first island because of Tapu Koko? Probably not but hey haha

    Reply
  67. I love these pokemon none of them look bad to me and they all have unique designs, i especially love grubbin (maybe) evolutions. Whoever your design team is, make about 120 more of these and youll be golden

    Reply
  68. Nvm I like both of Grubins evos. The first one is supposed look 8-bit so that’s cool. Still hate the dragon though.

    Reply
  69. I actually like them all, ya know…. except for that Jenga block. But I’m warming up to it because I love it’s evolution.

  70. My opinions,
    Tapu Koko- It reminds me of gallade for some reason but it’s a really cool design!
    Charjabug- A little to simplistic for my tastes but it’s ok
    Vikavolt- This one is really cool although I have little to say about it
    Bruxish- this thing is UGLY, definitely not using!
    Drampa- I like it except for its freaky eyes
    Cutiefly- I love it’s typing and design, I love tiny bugs! Plus it’s based on my favorite bug the bee fly!
    Togedemaru- meh, it’s ok, It’s my least favorite pikaclone by far tho

    Reply
  71. Opinions.

    Tapu Koko: Lovin’ the name, fine with the design, the chicken head’s kinda eh tho

    Chargabug, Vikivolt, Togademaru: Eh, they don’t really stand out. Solid designs, however.

    Drampa: Never thought I’d dislike a Pokemon’s design but low and behold

    Bruxish: It’s fine, it looks kind of disproportional tho.

    Cutiefly: I like this thing, pretty cute, probably the Flabebe of this region

  72. I guess the thing that turns me off of Drampa is that it seems like it would start spouting words of wisdom right at you. Like damn, stay in Zelda: Wind Waker.

    Reply
  73. I don’t know why, but I’m really feeling Tapu Koko’s design. Maybe it’s just that I’ve pulled off a electric terrain team before.

    I’m usually not one to use legends on their team, but if you get this before the e4, I’ll use it on my team.

    Ps (it’ll be the bane of smeargle in vgc)

    Reply
  74. In the scene of Tapu Koko flying; he’s actual fighting Spearows. I’m guessing that the player encounters a flock of Spearow, which Tapu Koko saves him from; obviously similar to Ash and Pikachu in the anime. Refresh for the picture!

  75. I honestly love all of them. I don’t think I dislike even Drampa. It’s literally a GRANDPA dragon. It’s unlike any design I’ve seen but that’s what I love about it. They are different and I love that. Game freak is doing one hell of a job this time.

  76. I feel like Bruxish’s ability was invented to counter talonflame and kangaskan I find no other reason for a rainbow fish to have an ability called dazzle that has that effect.

  77. So the grandpa in yellow caught a legendary (WTF!)? Is that a legendary, by the way? What about the birds this allegedly legendary knock out of the sky? Are the new pokemon or just werid Spearows? Soooo many questions.

    Reply
    • Still waiting on them to morph into their new forms rather than pop out of a ball of light. Ya know, like the anime.

      Reply
  78. If the grandpa is a E4 member and his electric pok is a legendary, so probably each member has one legendary to use against us.That would make things more difficult (and interesting).

    Reply
  79. Based on the electric pokemon looks, the other three legendary will also have masks as part of their designs, right? So after legendary trios of dogs, birds, genies, golems, dragons and so on, now the theme will be masks.

  80. Something just hit me.
    Melemele is Hawaiian for yellow, right?
    What typing is associated with yellow? Electric type.
    Maybe it means we will see more electric Pokemon on the island, or what I’ve been thinking, the other guardians will have a type that is associated with the color of the island.
    So if it is Red, green, blue, and yellow (as a throwback to the original games, we’re not sure yet) then I would be expecting a fire, water, and grass guardian legendary as well.
    Or it’s just a coincidence, but when I thought of it, I thought it would be pretty cool if it did happen.

    Reply
    • I was going to mention this earlier. We’re probably going to have an Electric/Fairy, Fire/Fairy, Water/Fairy and Grass/Fairy quartet.

      Reply
    • I’d be inclined to agree, but I’m also expecting Tapu Koko’s counterparts to have automatic Grassy terrain and Misty Terrain as their abilities, which doesn’t quite sync with that idea. And for the fourth one… maybe a new type of field? Or maybe it’s the trio and master and has another special ability?
      In any case I’m sort of expecting one of the them to resemble the Strange Idol, and I’m intrigued as to what the other designs will be judging by Tapu Koko’s own strange intricacy.
      I’m also wondering, does Tapu Koko mean anything in Hawaiian?

      Reply
  81. I find Topu Koko very interesting. Not only does it have two parts to its name, but it doesn’t seem to be a legendary. Wonder what the deal is with the deities.

  82. I have the feeling the normal/dragon one will be one of those that evolve around preposterous levels, like 55, 60 or smth like that.

    Reply
  83. Ok wow Bruxish is terrible. Holy crap that is awful. The dragon is a bit neat though, I can kinda see what they’re going for. Now, TapuKoko, I FREAKING LOVE TAPU KOKO. And Grubbin is now the best bug line tied with Vivillon. I just love oft! The tiny electric bird thing is also super smol and I love electric mouse is also cute but definitely needs an evolution.

    We got some weird ones but some really cute ones too. Too many cool electric types though

    Reply
    • Bruxish kind of turns me off due to what it’s designed after, the reef triggerfish (with a little parrotfish), as I don’t care for those type of fish, but the level of detail that was put into that design (the colors, the look, the teeth as those type of fish are aggressive and known to bite) makes me respect it somewhat.

  87. Here are my opinions of the designs (in order from most liked to least liked).
    God tier: Vikavolt, Tapu Koko, Drampa
    Great tier: Cutiefly, Togedemaru
    I-could-do-without tier: Charjabug, Bruxish

      • Pretty much, but I’ve grown to like Cutiefly and Drampa as well. I think Togedemaru will eventually become a hit as well, like Dedenne.

        Reply
        • I like Drampa as a concept more than its design.

          Normal/Dragon Type with an ability that raises it’s special attack.

          Here’s hoping they give it Boomburst, DracoMeteor is a given

        • Yeah, I really want an evo for it <3 And now that some time has passed, Drampa is starting to grow on me. But the face is still off to me a little :3 Maybe because it has no pupils I guess?

    • I’m going to do the same, but with all Alola Pokemon so far:
      God tier: Vikavolt, Drampa, Tapu Koko, Rowlet

      B-tier: Litten, Solgaleo, Cutiefly, Iwanko, Lunaala

  88. So, has everyone seen the anime episode? What is the possibility of Ash bringing in older Pokemon now? I think maybe his 6th Pokemon will be an older Pokemon (it has to be, I don’t think he’s catching a Pokemon in the middle of the league). What do you guys think?

    Reply
  89. Bruxish reminds me of those fish from Shark Tale… the ones that had on lipstick and look drag-ish. I’m not saying I hate drags, I love me some Rupaul, but the design looks… soooo weird and that’s coming from a person who loves weird things.

    Reply
  90. I hope Drampa has an evolution that’s like an even bigger dragon or something. It’s a little dopey right now but it has a lot of potential

    Reply
  91. What about the fat rat? Does anybody else have the feeling it will not evolve just like pachirisu and dedenne, so will become a decoration pokemon?

    Reply
  92. I don’t know why everyone is dissing Drampa. HE’S FREAKING AWESOME!!!! And he’s kinda on the cute side, in my opinion. 😀 Plus yeah he’s probably the final form to another Pokemon. (Ether that or he’s a singe stage Pokemon. :D)
    The only ones that they showed that I DON’T LIKE are the bugs. Ugh there totally ugly. 😛
    And as for the regional “Pikach Pokemon”, I really REALLY hope that it gets an evolution, because I don’t particularly like how this little guy look’s, and I’m sick of the regional “Pikachu Pokemon”s that they have been creating for the other gen’s NOT HAVING ANY EVOLUTIONS!!!! I mean com on why is it that only Pikachu has a dang evolution? I want this one to have at least one evolution, ya know. And Tapu Koko well he’s O.K but probably wont be one of my fave’s. 🙂

    Reply
  93. I’m hoping in the next couple of months we get the Starter Evolutions.
    Also Iwanko and Nekkoala needs official reveals and possible evolutions. I can see Iwanko having a three stage line.

    Now we have the generic rodent, bird, bug, pika clone Pokemon out of the way, we can get to some more interesting stuff.

    Reply
      • Possibly.

        I’m also hoping for a new Ground Type. Possible Ground/Fighting type.

        A Rock/Ghost Pokemon would be nice. Don’t make it as OP as Aegislash.

        Here’s hoping for 100+ new ones.

        Reply
  94. So we now have 18 Pokemon revealed for Sun and Moon. This is unofficially boosted to 29 with the starter evolutions, three other guardians and the two Pikipek evolutions. Other Pokemon on this list will certainly have evolutions as well, so I will estimate that we have around 36 implied, but not guaranteed, Pokemon. We’ve still barely scratched the surface, seeing as we’re likely to get 100+ Pokemon this generation.

  95. On the topic of megas… Notice how Slowbro and Kangaskhan were shown? Then Flygon and Milotic? If we get megas for those, they won’t have to be good! Trash designs would fit perfectly!

  96. I’m currently replaying Pokemon FireRed and I’ve noticed something extremely annoying. I swear the NPC always use a status move at the start of their turn. Their AI is just annoying. They always use Thunder Wave, Poison Gas, or Confuse Ray. I hate it a lot.

    Reply
  97. I seriously love Tapu Koko though. It is just freaking amazing. It’s an ancient warrior of thunder with a mohawk. It’s probably one of my favorites this gen so far. I can’t wait to see the other guardians

    Reply
  98. What I love about all these new Pokémon is how simple yet unique their designs are. The Pokémon fandom seems to be split on the latest batch, but one thing is hard to argue: they’re unique, and get people talking. They also really seem to fit with the Hawaii theme, which is nice.

    Reply
    • They say simple.. fans keep saying simple… They don’t look any more simple than any other gen to me..
      Simple to gamefreak just means more childish I believe.
      Like. Last gen.. Hand Man..
      This gen.. this Dragon tales thing.. and the bright colors.
      It really doesn’t seem anymore simplistic to me.. just made with younger kids in mind

      Reply
      • Dragon Tales? 😛 Maybe Drampa..but not the others.
        I wouldn’t call them childish when so many young adults like myself enjoy them. A lot of them give me a Gen II vibe, which I love.

        Reply
      • Gen 1’s designs were more simplistic yet I wouldn’t say they were ‘childish’.
        And I disagree that simplistic designs means it is more childish. The reverse is also not true, complexity doesn’t equal maturity.
        Simple designs just mean there’s not a lot going on. People say gen 5 had complex designs because their designs had a lot going on (although I argue there were some simplistic designs in there)
        but that’s just how I feel

      • I don’t know what either of you guys are talking about..
        I never said gen one was childish or implied it.
        They keep saying they aimed for simplicity for this gen specifically and last..
        And To ME it only looks like they drew more inspiration from what a child would draw..
        Regardless is adults like it or not..
        Their main aim is children .. unfortunately

  108. I really think Drampa is based on the candle dragon legend, whose eyes represent the sun and moon, also I think it’s beautiful and wise-looking and I adore it <3 No need for a million tough-looking western-style dragons, there are many different kinds of dragon legends.

  109. What surprises me about alola pokemon so far is that they grow on me pretty quickly! They seem like they have always been part of the franchise yet they seem new and fresh! Also the ones shown so far are fairly unique in their own way! I really think it is a step up from the overdone and easily forgettable gen 6, dont get me wrong gen 6 had many cool pokemon but it brought so few into the table that many of them, like slurpuff, spritzee, the key chain whose name i forgot, are just meh

  110. I still don’t know either to pick sun or moon (leaning more on sun but still need to see Pokemon exclusive to game to decide) but I know I’m getting both one for me and one for my son. We’ve been talking about team building with starters and mons we’ve seen right now but he did ask me if he could get all three starters his to begging his game y’all think I should do that trade with me until he has all three or should I convince him to just pick one? His 11 and he says he likes them all. lol

    • He’s your son, so don’t let me influence you, but I was the same way as a child. It would take me like 1 1/2 hours but I would get three starters on at least one run. It was fun, but I never really grew attached to any one of them on the run because of this. But hey, if he wants all three, and you are willing to help, go for it.

    Reply
    • Well, it’s an odd-numbered generation, so if we believe in patterns we should be getting something more “off-beat” as traditionally even gens have been for dinosaurs (sauropod/theropod combo was definitely on my list of expectations for the XY fossils) and odd gens for things like kabuto, anorith or archen.
      I’d love for us to get something from the cenozoic for once, as we’ve never had cenozoic fossils before. A terror bird or a sabertooth cat seem most likely to me (and both would be sweeeet!). But we could also get something like an indricothere, a brontothere, a wooly rhino, a basilosaurus… It’s Game Freak, so you never know.

      However, I’d actually put my bet on us getting a new pair of Palaeozoic fossils instead. I think we’ll probably get a agnathan-placoderm line, a epistotegalian-tetrapod line, or a eurypterid line.
      Or maybe we’ll get something uniquely Hawaiian? Thing is we might actually get a stilt-owl through rowlet, and I’m not sure if there’s that much else to go on.
      In any case I trust GF to deliver with the fossils, they always do.
      It’d be nice if they reintroduced the long lost third standalone fossil too! As far as I’m concerned more fossils is best fossils.

      I kinda hope we don’t get them spoiled pre-launch this time, or at least not the evolutions, though I think GF will reveal them sadly.

      I can’t express how happy I am that gamefreak first went with trilobites/horseshoe crabs, ammonites, anomalocarids and crinoids before even a single traditional dinosaur fossil (aerodactyl, a pterosaur, is kinda unusual tbf). And even then they started with a pachycephalosaur and a ceratopsid, and waited till gen VI to go the obvious route. Someone at GF must be a palaeontology nerd like me… I mean, when I was a kid I would make up archaeopteryx and archelon pokémon. I honestly to this day can’t quite believe we got both in gen V, and I’m still not convinced GF isn’t reading my mind somehow…

So I attempted to cancel the GameStop order but it’s so complicated so I asked my friend if he wanted to buy the extra moon version and assuming Rowlet or Popplio both have awesome evolutions I’ll keep a sun version and play all three at the same time. What I do is I start one and work my way to the first gym. Then I do the other version. Then the other.

  118. This is very off topic, but am I the only who hates it when YouTube videos are in all caps? It gives me a feeling that rather than making a quality video they just want to rack up views. I guess it’s related to pokemon somewhat because I keep seeing all caps videos that say “NEW POKEMON REVEALED” in my recommended section and it’s getting annoying.

  119. Guys, I just realized that the trailer says (6/30 version) in the title. This may mean that they were planning to reveal them early all along. Tomorrow we should get a 7/1 version which will be different in some way.

      Reply

          Reply
      • I think that’s the case. Being a bit proactive on the leaks, before they get out of hand. They clearly cut the Pokémon from the rest of the info and released it as such. The date is most likely to avoid confusion when people search for it later.

  121. I take back all the awful things I said about Bruxish… it’s grown on me and I don’t know why! It’s so odd and wonderfully weird that if I run into it, I might just catch it and keep it on my team for awhile! 0,,,0

    Reply
  122. I know if I’m the first person to bring this up, but the birds we see in the trailer circling Tapu Koko (and then getting shocked by Tapu Koko) are not just Pikipek, they’re something else.

    I zoomed into one of them. It seems to have triangles on its body and yellow stuff on its head.(refresh)

  123. Given its name, bruxish will evolve into an ugly/cartoonish witch. That would justify the exaggerated lips and eyelashes that so many people are complaining about.

    Reply
  124. I wonder what Drampa’s ability is, it seems quite interesting as it activates once it hits under a certain hp? or maybe it activates when hit by a dragon move?

    Reply
  125. Bruxish ability is one of the best abilities of all times. Also she reminds of the the spongebob episode where he goes to karate island and sandy fight a big lips fish

    Reply
  126. So Litten and the new hedgehog both show their fur doing unique animations during their attacks. Is there any other pokemon in the previous generations that do that in any way?

    Reply
  127. so are we assuming that the guardian deitys will be elemental type/fairy? and all their abilitys will be to activate their typing terrain with means new terrain moves are coming?

    Reply
    • I am honestly pretty confident there won’t be one, it seems like there is a reason game freak are avoiding putting one in.

      Reply
  128. My only complaint of the day was too many fairies and electric types
    Also I don’t care for Togedemaru’s tail being on the back and it’s very unpronounceable name

    Reply
  129. The only one of this bunch I really dislike is the fat rat. It seems one more lazy variation of pikachu/pachirisu/dedenne/plusle/minun, designed by a non inspired and non talented child. Its type is great though.

    Reply
  130. Wow, I love all these Pokemon! This was a nice surprise to come back to after being without Internet for awhile. I especially love Cutiefly because it looks like a chick/bug.

    Reply
  131. It would be great if the gym leaders and E4 members interacted more with us throughout the map and had a more important role this time.
    Maybe they could even be the ones to give us HM and TM. It’s kind of a letdown that they usually spend the entire game locked inside buildings.

    Reply
  132. We had a lot of Bug, Electric, and Fairy typings come up with this reveal. Do you think it’s possible each reveal will focus on a few types at once with a few outliers (Like Drampa)? I think that would be neat, but I know it would get on others’ nerves waiting for their favorite type.

    Reply
  133. I want Pokemon based off seraphim, ophanim, and cherubim. It could be considered the Holy Trinity and serve as their realworld counterparts.

    Reply
  134. So does Dazzle mean that priority moves literally don’t do damage at all? Or that they just don’t go first? Watch it be really slow though, therefore making it somewhat pointless…

    Reply
  135. I just realized that Melemele is yellow right? And Tapu Koko is yellow/Electric. Does that mean the remaining guardians may follow this scheme?

    Reply
  136. – Frenzy: it seems to be a free Weakness Policy as its Sp. Atk. was raised when hit by a supereffective attack
    – Dazzle: immune to speed priority moves
    – Elec Maker: automatically sets up Electric Terrain

    Reply
  137. Woah imagine tapu koko with the electric terrain boost plus stab boost plus a magnet as a held item! Man i love it already!

    Reply
  138. So Tapu Moko is most likely based off the war god Ku who was often depicted with a yellow mohawk. Ku is apart of a group of gods known as the Four Great Gods and they include Kanaloa, Kane, and Lono. Let’s start with Kanaloa who was often drawn as a squid or octopus which substantiates one of the guardians being Fire since Kanaloa is also named after an extinct volcano, but I find a squid/octopus being part Fairy not that palpable, but who cares. Next we have Kane who is the leader of the group and is the god of procreation so either Water or Grass. Last but not least we have Lono or the god of fertility so either Water or Grass and rode a rainbow… 😀

  139. What if we get Fire/Fairy and Ice/Fairy guardians for the other islands?

    Pyro Maker and Frost Maker? Yoooo
    Fiery and Icy Terrainssssss

    Reply
  140. Ok so going off of the Guardians type/colour speculation, if they all turn out to be dual typed as fairies one of my friends on twitter has just stated that Magearna could be the fifth guardian for the man made island, its second typing is fairy, steel represents that the island is man made and if we look at the design choices of the electric guardian it has big dome like arms that it can use to revert into to change its form in a sense the same way that Magearna can roll itself into a pokeball, the more I think about it, the more similarities I see

    Reply
    • That’s really cool if Magearna turned out to be one, it kind of makes sense. :3
      Like, she probably wasn’t created to be one, but she ended up being one in the end.

      Reply
      • I know right? Like I know a lot of people will probably dismiss this claim saying that its a mythic pokemon so it will have no part in the game, but honestly I can’t remember ever seeing anywhere it being stated to be mythic? like it could just be a normal legendary

        Reply
        • Yeah, plus, since Solgaleo and Lunala are stated to have special roles, who’s to say Magearna, who maybe a Mythical Pokemon, won’t play a role as well?

          Reply
          • No shit they have special roles, they’re the BLEEPING LEGENDARIES
            Magearna on the other hand is a mythical which literally only would give a short dialogue

          • yeah but like, where does it say its a mythic? because I can’t remember ever seeing it anywhere?

            Also don’t be mean to Percy she’s a lovely person

          • Doesn’t change my opinion on the theory tbh, I just now know its a mythic for sure, and I don’t think on the top of my head, I just usually go to bulbapedia for my info

          • I meant, they have special roles, as in it was stated they have different roles than past legendaries.
            No shit, I know they have special roles, they are the cover legendaries. I’m not that dumb, give me a fucking break.
            I was saying, because they have unique roles that no other legendary has, who’s to say Magearna won’t play a part in it?
            And you never know, things might be different.

          • you don’t have to, its just a theory, theories are not true in any sense just speculation

          • Things can change, you realize that right? Things don’t need to be the same over and over.
            Considering the fact they have said they will have unique roles, I expanded and thought maybe Magearna might be a part of it. Heck, Zygarde is in game, and we’ve never had a past legendary from another game appear in a new region like this, and I think it adds credence to what I say.

        • The last trailer literally says the mythical pokemon magearna lmao XD but i mean this has happened before with keldeo so it is possible

          Reply
  141. alright guys will getting really attached all these new Pokemon,now we need to investigate about the four Island Guardians of Alola! 😀

    Reply
  142. It’s been a while.
    I must say that I am extremely impressed with the new Pokemon. Very diverse and very different from what we have seen thus far. Love the new fairies especially, but Togedemaru has officially stolen my heart <3
    Excited to see what tomorrow's announcement holds in addition to what we already know. Except full coverage on that as the news breaks 🙂

    Reply
  143. So.. basing it off of the idea that they’ll only reveal Pokemon from a certain type with a few outliers, maybe they’ll reveal them according to the guardian’s typing. Tapu Koko is Electric/Fairy… and we got tons of new Pokemon that are either part Electric or Fairy. The supposed typings we have left are Fire, Water, and Grass. They’ll then probably reveal fhe second stages of the starters along with the guardian.

    Reply
  144. So, based on post of @celestialfairy:disqus, I made a search for those who want to read:

    http://jeuxstrategieter.free.fr/jeu_kanaloa/tablette.jpg

    Blue-Water-Kanaloa:

    “Kanaloa is one of the four major akua (gods) of traditional Hawaiian religion. He is associated with the ocean, long distance voyaging, and healing. Kanaloa is lord of the ocean. In fact, the ocean itself is thought to be one of Kanaloa’s bodies. It’s appropriate that he has many sea creatures, such as in the octopus and squid, as his kinolau (body forms). Other ocean-related kinolau of Kanaloa are the naiʻa (dolphin) and the koholā, or whale.”

    Green-Grass-Lono:

    “Lono is the Hawaiian god of agriculture and rain. He appears in hoʻoilo (the wet season) as rain clouds and winter storms. Some poʻe kahiko (Hawaiians of old) describe Lono as the “akua poʻo huna i ke ao lewa,” or the god whose head is hidden in the dark clouds. The water he brings, especially to the dry, leeward regions, helps keep the land fertile.

    Legend has it that Lono is responsible for bringing cultivated plants to Hawaiʻi. This solidifies his important role in agriculture. Lono also is associated with the makahiki celebration. Makahiki is a time of peace and recreation. It’s a time to celebrate the hard work of farming and enjoy the fruits of one’s labor.

    Many different plants and animals are said to be forms of Lono.
    Lono’s kinolau include sweet potato, gourd plant, candlenut tree, fern, tree fern, banana. Kamapuaʻa is another kinolau of Lono. So is the puaʻa hiwa, an all-black pig. The dark rain clouds sitting on top of a mountain are sometimes called ke ao puaʻa, or pig clouds.”

    Yellow-Electric-Ku:

    “Kū appears in various kinolau. His animal forms include a kanaka, ʻio (hawk), ʻīlio (dog), and moa (chicken !!! – that’s what we have)”

    Red-Fire-Pele:

    “Probably the best known of all Hawaiian gods and goddesses is Pele. She is the fire and the heat, the smoke and the steam, the goddess of the volcano. It is Pele that sparks the eruptions and adds new land to our island home. Pele is the volcano and the natural forces associated with volcanic eruption.

    Pele’s physical forms include lava, fire, and other natural forces. She can appear as a beautiful young woman or an old lady. She may also appear as a ball of fire on the mountain. She may come in dreams where she appears in the form of a woman in the prime of life, dressed in white.”

  145. Didn’t really like the new Pkm but I’ll probably get used to them. Hopefully We’ll have some cool dark and ghost types

    Reply
    • My favorite type is the Psychic-type and all I got so far, excluding the legendary Pokémon, is a fish. I absolutely love its design and colors, though, but… I want more/better Psychic-types!

      Reply
      • I have some psychic Fakemons
        Spellsufi and Magenie
        Both “Arabic” humanoids with grey skin and teal and pink robes made of psychic energy that help them thrive in desert heat, they use moonlight for energy

        And Psycko a Poison/Psychic magenta Gecko that sprays mist to confuse and dizzy prey and foes (obviously a psychedelic hallucination but try getting that past the ESRB)

        Reply
      • I once made a Fakemon Ghost/Psychic-type line named Taghoul, Omenag, and Spellomen. If I ever find it, I’ll scan it and place it here. Better yet, I’ll redraw it, I still know what they look like.

        Reply
    • I would love this, but it needs a middle stage and needs to keep the teal/turquoise coloring pattern of Dunsparce which leads me to believe Drampa will be a standalone.

      Reply
    • I would love this solely for the fact that it means that we are finally getting evos to old Pokemon for the first time since gen 4.

      Reply
    • I’ve been seeing this theory everywhere and it annoys me a little,I don’t think they would make a tsuchinoko evolve into a standard Chinese dragon.

      Reply
  146. So I find it really interesting that they revealed Drampa this early. I’ve stated below that I think its a dunsparce evolution but bear with me. So far we’ve been given the starters, regional rodent, bird, bug, pikaclone, (Tapu Koko does not fit my theory…. because I have no idea what purpose it will serve in the game and whether its a legendary or not, although you do celebrate a festival in honor of it early on…) and I have no idea where the fish and Cutiefly land in our journey, but a huge dragon just doesn’t seem like an early ‘mon. We’ve almost never received a dragon type early in the game (although dratini and swablu are semi early in their respective games but the former takes years to evolve XD). I guess Axew was pretty early, wasnt it? Plus Drampa is shown at LV 44, a level most pokemon on average don’t get to in your party or in the wild until after a few gyms if not many. This is where I think the dunsparce theory is validated even more, as Dunsparce was in an early route in X and Y and might be catchable early on in these games too. The Drampa was wild in the video to match the rest of the new ‘mons you encounter. Ideally, this being an evolution of a preexisting pokemon, this will be revealed tomorrow to be the case and it will be the first teaser of many new evos to come.

    Reply
    • Don’t you think that, as they did with vikavolt and charjabug, they would focus on the fact that dranpa evolves from dusparce if he did?

      Reply
      • The japanese and english trailers tend to be different. Who knows what we’ll see tomorrow or to come. The white wings and the normal typing are what gets me on board. The introduction of what could be the pseudo legendary for all we know this early on is so strange. Could be the Druddigon of this reason but IDK.

        Reply
        • But wouldn’t the Japanese trailer focus on it? That shouldn’t be a thing only the US would get to know!

          Reply
          • Its not that the US will be the only one to know as I do not live in Japan and can still see the trailer. But yeah, I know what you mean.

  147. My theory on evolutions:
    Cutiefly: one evolution (similar to Surskit).
    Togedemaru: standalone.
    Bruxish: standalone (similar to Corsola).
    Drampa: standalone (if not an evolution of dunsparce… sorry to mention it again, but I knew I’d be called a hypocrite if I didnt put it in the parentheses).

    I should put money on these and gamble more often.

  148. OMG have you guys seen this Mega Milotic Fakemon?! It’s gorgeous! (Sorry to derail discussion, I found this and had to show it even if some of you have seen it)

    Scorchpion Bug/Fire Desert Scorpion with fire nuff said

  150. I want a peacock Pokemon fused with a lyre typed Grass/Flying and is classified as the Lyrical Pokemon. It has a signature attack where depending on the environment, the typing changes called Temperance Chord. It’s ability is Chord Change and it switches out an opponent’s Pokemon at random. xD

  151. Apparently Shaymin is available in all Gen 6 games in North America starting now, so get them while they’re hot! Only until July 24!

    Reply
  152. So I’ve heard speculation on this but I really do think Pikipek will evolve into Steel/Flying. When you think of a Woodpecker you think of their sharp and long beak. If you want to emphasize that feature, why not turn it into a drill or something similar? A steel beak used for drilling deep into tree trunks in a matter of milliseconds. :3

    Reply
      • That’s my line..sorta
        My Excadrill’s Drill Run will pierce the heavens!!!

        GIGA DRILL RUN!!!!!!!
        Drill Run with Giga Impact

        Reply
          • Excadrill’s body would stay the same
            His claws grow longer and each nail gets a small fin, while the original fin turns red and sticks out longer
            His horns do the exact same thing
            His patterns sharpen and his face frills get longer and one melds with his eye like scars
            Obviously a ginormous boost to attack and speed and with and overall boost to all stats (even minus sp atk) and his ability could either stay Sand Rush or be Tough Claws but Sand Rush is better

    • Drill Peck exists but Game Freak seems to have been stopping giving it out since Gen 4… so I bet such a move will be called something else.

      It will be a multi-hit steel or flying move…

          • There arent any festivities tomorrow (if you mean the pokemon news). It’s gonna be this same thing but in english

          • Canada Day
            A bunch of overly polite hockey fans drinking maple syrup in the streets to watch a zamboni parade

          • its summer… there is no hockey… and most of the hockey fans in my town are racist and mean so theres that. But like there is drinking, just not maple syrup ( ಠ◡ಠ )

          • sorry I effed up, its canada’s birthday, it celebrates the day that three colonies were basically merged to create the country, but could also be considered the founding of canada I suppose, but no we don’t have a founders day like the US does, our canada is more like their 4th of july in terms of what it means today

    • It’s possible we may get non related Pokemon news. As in character news. I’m sure they had intended to have the Pokemon revealed at the same time as any other possible news, but it just turned out this way.

      Reply
    • I think tomorrow’s US trailer will feature Iwanko and Nekkoala, and there will be another Japanese trailer with the new, slightly-altered footage. That’s just my prediction. Of course, we’re also going to get interesting information on the official website.

  155. So for those that watch the anime…does anyone else think that Alain might forfeit vs Ash? He seems hell bent on defeating Ash-Greninja but only wants to do so with Charizard X..what happens if Greninja beats Charizard but Alain still as more pokemon? I honestly could seem him give up since he only is in the league to beat Greninja? Thoughts?

    Reply
    • Ash and Greninja will become too weak during the battle but since ash is an idiot and stubborn as heck he’ll push on and defeat Alain and then pass out and die from over exertion thus ending his awful pokemon training skills

    • I think he will continue but does anyone notice he might have borrowed the Flabebe from Marron and Trained it to a Florges I feel if he uses more that’s one of them.

  158. I just watched the most intense legendary battle I’ve ever seen. My brother was finally finishing the delta episode and we had to catch Deoxys. For like, 20 minutes we threw poke balls hoping to get lucky and catch it. We were down to 5 ultra balls and Deoxys started struggling. He was right at red about to die when we finally got it. It was so stressful and amazing and we literally screamed when we got it. He named it Robert
