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
<3 PJ
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?
That would be my guess. What if Nature’s Power which is what activated Electric Terrain changes based on which uses it?
Anyone confident about(finally) getting a dark type gym. I think that it could really happen this time.
I am honestly pretty confident there won’t be one, it seems like there is a reason game freak are avoiding putting one in.
How so?
Dark type in japan is evil type. Having an evil type gym is like having a building devoted to evil!! D:
Plenty of E4 are Dark type so I mean… that is run by multiple people but still.
The E4 usually are a little less… superheroy… than gym leaders so that’s probobly why they are allowed to be more evil i.e. Malva
Eh… I am pretty sure E4 are regarded as the like toughest and people to look up to.
Elite Four are kinda the best trainers in the region type does not change that
Idk, I’ve always found this explanation really weird. But I hope that’s not the case, because we deserve variety. Enough ice and electric gyms, right?
It’s strange but dark type is generally associated with “fighting bastardly”. It can be seen in many dark Pokemon concepts, moves (like sucker punch) and it also explains why dark is weak to fighting
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
Where else would the tail go? And Isn’t Togedemaru the Japanese name?
The base of the back
And Electric Rodents are notorious for being named after their Japanese names
Well yeah it is a bit high and mmn… I suppose… I hope it is changed at least a bit.
To be fair it’s practically on top of its head, does look a bit odd.
I suppose but he just said “back”.
And english aswell sadly
Too bad they didn’t neaten it up, like Emonga to Emolga.
That isn’t official yet.
drampa? dont you mean dunsparce dragon evolution?

Alomomola and Luvdisc *wave*
And those actually were obvious, to the point it was surprising they aren’t related. This is really more tenuous. Possible, but tenuous.
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.
Really looking forward to getting their detailed descriptions tomorrow, I’m a sucker for poke-biology.
Get in line Mack I’m the Encyclopediac one here
The more the merrier mate :p
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.
Finally another person that appreciates these designs!
Cutiefly master race
Joke team – 6 Cuteiflys. I’ll be Champion with that team.
Why a joke team? That’ll be my real team. :p
I like using a variety of Pokemon, but I feel tempted to go into the E4 with 6 Cuteiflys one day :3
Cutiefly is adorable. I hope it has a sweet evolution ala Vespiquen.
Also, that jungleish battleground we see a few times looks beautiful. It’s new right?
Yup and for me it is one of the best looking ones so far along with the wheat field where cutiefly appears
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.
Inb4 the guardians of each island are the Elite 4 in the end
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.
I just hope these are not all of the electric, bug, and fairies we’re gonna get.
I want Pokemon based off seraphim, ophanim, and cherubim. It could be considered the Holy Trinity and serve as their realworld counterparts.
I had to Google all 3 of those, but I think that would be a neat idea!
But the source material is so large, I think it’ll be reserved for a later generation.. one focusing on Poke’ligion.
Don’t they typically avoid religious stuff? That’d be almost like propaganda (not that it’s a bad idea but idk)
Aren’t Groudon and Kyogre based on Leviathan and Behemoth?
yes
And arceus is a literal god
Yeah but there are so many gods across all religions that it’s not specifically derived from the Christian “God”, so that’s not the same.
Oh ok i get your point
Hm, never heard that but I guess that’s true.
They do but they’ve been very creative when they do deal with sensitive topics: black and White had a lot of Taoist and Buddhist influences as well as Christian references and it didn’t create that much controversy so it is possible.
True, although I always considered B/W to be more spiritually based than religious.
I didnt know what seraphim and ophanims are but based on the fact that cherubim are angels i guess those are another type of angels
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…
In the trailer, the Pokemon attacking Bruxish went first and Bruxish’s ability activated and it literally had no effect. I think the attack was Quick Attack so assuming what we saw was how its going to work in battle, it seems so.
That’s so awesome. Please let it have a decent speed stat though.
What’s a Talonflame to a mothafckn Bruxish?
Rotisserie Chicken.
Protects it from sucker punch death too!
And Shadow Sneak. Dazzle’s a pretty damn good ability haha
The best part is, even if Bruxish is sub-par, I’m sure other better Pokemon will be getting that ability as well!
Truuue, ain’t no priority move sweeps no more
I just realized that Melemele is yellow right? And Tapu Koko is yellow/Electric. Does that mean the remaining guardians may follow this scheme?
That’s the assumption at this point.
Oh, sorry. I haven’t been online long, so I haven’t seen most of the speculation going on.
Dont worry i also didnt knew XD
Hmm sound plausible and that would be awesome
I brought it up earlier, it’s what I definitely think will happen. Of course, it could just be a coincidence xD
What were the other colors?
Red, blue and green
So… if we were to assume: Fire/Fairy, Water/Fairy, and Green/Fairy or some other second typing. Sounds awesome! 😀
Yeah! I can’t wait to see them!
WTF is a Green-type? I meant Grass, LOL!
Wow I didn’t even notice lol
I guess you meant grass/fairy lel
ope, i see others were thinking the same things XD
I think I was watching something, and I was pondering some random thing and it just clicked for me. Once I had that thought, I immediately went to the comments and typed it down.
That said, it’s lost in the pile of comments xD
We don’t know for sure, but I was basing what they might be called on a theory I heard. So it would be red, yellow, green, blue, named after the first Pokemon games.
yellow could also associate with the electric typing and so the others could have types that correspond to their colours too, like red is fire and blue it water, but I forget what the other colour was
Green and grass
– 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
Best new abilities so far so much potential for competitive!
https://youtu.be/KBBQni3WikI
Woah imagine tapu koko with the electric terrain boost plus stab boost plus a magnet as a held item! Man i love it already!
Nope I don’t feel it
Yeah i know it is a bad strategy but it would be a fun sweeper if it has the right stats
No literally it would not affect me one bit, I would get you in sandstorm and just destroy you
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… 😀
For the octopus being part fairy the mask that it would make with its arms could form an octopus.
I just find the idea of a fiery squid/octopus being part Fire insanely powerful and amazing!
Flaming tentacles, you say?
http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire4/03eee181a3ae44a78b35b1832e750cd41461359026_full.jpg
I drew a cruddy roughy pic of what it could look like
That looks awesome! Maybe the orange bottom region could be just flames or flaming tentacles… idk ;D
Thanx
Shouldn’t the best top be flat if they form a tiki totem?
I just scribbled this out not thinking about the totem poll theory, sorry 😐
That’s alright. I guess that the top could also go under the bottom of Tapu Koko (this concept is hard to explain >.<)
How’s this? I flattened it out.
It looks great! It would fit well into a totem fusion Pokemon thing. As a side note, I love the black body color, it’s like dried magma.
Wrong wrong wrong wrong
If it’s based off an octopus it should be aqua and turquoise
The body more feminine and the head would have tentacles the hood would have whirly twirly tendrils and swirly patterns similar to the flapjack octopus
This is just pandering I SPIT AT THEE
my god you’re rude… couldn’t even say something nice about someone elses drawing that they probably worked hard on before you tore it down
Great drawing btw Sesquipedalian
Thanks 🙂
I drew my own
Plan to share it?
Refresh
You don’t have to be a jerk dude, I was basing it off of Tapu Koko and Natsu’s description which describes it as an octopus not a sea turtle.
Tapu Koko also has ties to being a chicken/rooster, as part of its name and design have those roots in it. So maybe, for Kanaloa, it will only resemble an octopus, not be one itself.
As for the others, I dunno what animal they might resemble. I may love mythology, but Hawaiian mythology is one I have never really studied before.
http://jeuxstrategieter.free.fr/jeu_kanaloa/tablette.jpg
what about this?
so each Guardians play a big role on different Island since Tapu Koko is an electric/fairy-type,I bet the other ones are going to be their main element alongside with the fairy type.
Kanaloa – Ancient Tiki God of the Sea, it can be water
Kane– Ancient Tiki God of Light and Life, I couldn’t associate it with any type, but considering Ku being electric, it can be any type as well
Ku – Ancient Tiki God of War, it is revealed to be electric
Lono – Ancient Tiki God of Fertility, Agriculture and Peace, it can be grass
(Pele – Ancient Tiki Goddess of Fire, it can be fire)
What if we get Fire/Fairy and Ice/Fairy guardians for the other islands?
Pyro Maker and Frost Maker? Yoooo
Fiery and Icy Terrainssssss
Kapu kokeko sounds better than tapu koko imo but i dont mind it XD
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
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.
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
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?
yasss
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
http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/magearna/
I tell it like it is
Honesty is the best brutality
yeah I just found found that, lol, oddly enough I never go on the official website
You’d be amazed what u can learn
Better then just thinking on the top of your head
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
nvm found it
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.
Tell that to 6 generations of the same song and dance
doesn’t mean that they can’t mis things up this time
Yeah I’m not getting hopes up
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
This is actually a very solid idea (pun was very intended).
alright guys will getting really attached all these new Pokemon,now we need to investigate about the four Island Guardians of Alola! 😀
Investigations down below. 😀
Oh Thanks 😀
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 🙂
Dicie! 😀
And yeah Togedemaru is cute, but Cutiefly has stolen my heart :3
It’s a fairy, so by tradition I must love it 😀
And I must hate it
Absolutely 😉
You better like that rock dog! I predict a bulldog evo named Bouldog lol
:O I haven’t seen you in forever! (also it’s just not the same without Dedenne)
I’ve run into some hardships the past month and so it’s been difficult to get excited about anything. Glad to see this community coming together after the long drought, however. I’ll see about maybe bringing Dedenne back…
I’m sorry you had to go through whatever it is that you meant. 🙁 Anyways, yeah it’s been great seeing more people join and return and seeing the place get busy again.
Thank you. I figured it’s about time to pull myself together and return to you all.
You should make a pic with both Togedemaru and Dedenne.
Let’s see if this will be the theme
The beauty of 2 min draws
Nahhh you took the arm shields from tapukoko. Try again e.e
But I said the theme
The whole helmet animal thing guardians
Theme of what?? You didnt specify. And you still took Tapukoko’s theme
There are four guardians dude. Earthen was just drawing another one of the guardians. I’m assuming its based on a jellyfish and is water/fairy?
Ohhhh theme of the guardians… He could have said -_-
I gotta work on that
I think I assume people know what I’m thinking
It’s okay Ian -hugs-
https://s3.amazonaws.com/thumbnails.illustrationsource.com/huge.98.494926.JPG
lel
Take em out before they take you out
Doth is the golden rule of the paranoid
Cool! You should make it fit on the totem pole tho!
I wanted to go for a feminine look with tentacle eyelashes and a more defined “hood” or “mask” but my big ol bear paws couldn’t capture it in 2 mins
It pains me to say but Water/Fairy with Watery Terrain, which causes a 25% drop in accuracy since water could be slippery
Cool! Tapu Koko would kill it in a millisecond lol
Well they’re not meant to be perfect, and show me the rule they have to beat one another
LOL at the irony of this
Bug-types.
Creepy and “burn it with fire” in reality.
Cool and adorable in fantasy.
https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-12/13563488_10209373736371233_980610964_n.png?oh=57eeadbd4f77b3b8cedbf050c1955695&oe=5777BE28
omg whoever drew this has talent! This looks so sexy
I’m going to hug the crap out of Cutiefly. >:D
I’ll hug it
HUG IT WITH BOTH HANDS
D:
Yeah I’m especially sociopathic tonight
Bug types ftw!!! There are so many cool ones <3
I really like Charjabug, it looks like a bus!
The wheels on that bug go zap, zap, zap…!
When I see it, I can’t help but think “Beep, beep mothafu***” xD
As a Psychic-type enthusiast…
>.>
O I know, Dark is my favorite type lol. Still waiting on a bug/dark type.
I’m still waiting for Volcarona’s icy cousin.
A Bug/Dark-type roach Pokémon needs to happen!
What about my Bug/Dark Mosquito
I second this
Pestuzz and Vamsipher
Females only evolve
Signiture ability Life Drainer: increases damage of HP draining moves by 20% (stacks with big root)
Fast and frail special attacker (I mean Leech Life is the only physical drainer)
Damn you really are good at creating pokemon! I honestly think you should find some way to get a job there. Start off as the janitor in the building and pass your ideas on 😉
This one almost looks like a mosquito…
Notice how Charjabug’s eyes kinda sorta look like a phone’s battery with about 80% battery life left. lol
Actually in the animation they glow yellow triangles to represent the iris
Yeah, I noticed that. Its eyes look digital. I liked that little detail.
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.
Natsuuuuuuu D;
I forgot, sorry!!! I’ll come on the chat tomorrow.
nvm i hate it there :'(
Bar Drampa.
Yes, that would be the outlier I described.
imho, I really like Drampa’s design.
Me too, one of mg favorites so far! <3
I don’t see why they would do this. Wouldn’t it be better to reveal a variety of types, so that, say, ALL the electric types aren’t revealed beforehand?
I think that it’s possible that each island “focuses” on certain types based on their representative color. For example, MeleMele Island is represented by yellow, which is associated with electric. Just a thought.
