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
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
Drampa is worst Dragon. If it were Ghost/Dragon I’d like it more
Cutiefly is amazing. Really want a evo for it <3
I finally got my sister into Pokemon and I’m worried these will turn her off from it
I’m a long time fan and these are threatening to turn me off from it. They are sooooooooooo bad.
Just dont show her drampa and you will be fine
Just cut the limb off before it grows nerve endings
It’s like Star Wars.
Never show prospective fans Episode 1. 😀
Show her Iwanko lol
It gave me hope. Now I’ve lost all hope
Only show her the cute ones
I don’t think bruxish is based on bruxism concept. It’s probably bruxa (witch in portuguese) + fish.
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.
Steven Magnet
Omg true
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)
And I thought the Smeargle + Bruxish team was the ultimate team. 🙂
I usually run Safety Goggles Donphan in 1v1s
People NEVER see it coming
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!
Hmm at e3 hala introduces you as the one who has met with tapu koko at the festival battle so this is very possible
That makes sense, considering the demo did say we met Tapu Koko before that battle.
Real throwback there, my goodness <3
Also in diamond pearl and platinum starly attack you so SINNOH CONFIRMED!!!!!!! Too soon?
We’ll need a good throw back to some good designs after this.
Do you not like the designs Defensive?
No. I like the bugs and the porcupine but I hate Drampa, the fish is mediocre, it’s just all blah
Hedgehog
Porcupine
Hmmmmm…. Im sorry you don’t like them. I’m sure there are plenty of designs that will please you that haven’t been revealed!
I’m pretty sure the other 60-90 pogeys will be more up your alley.
I thought all would be. Then I woke up.
The bug ones are good at least. -shrugs-
I agree
I tried to translate what Lillie says after that scene and the things I got out of it were ‘helping the guardian Pokemon’, so paired with some earlier revealed dialogue, I think Tapu Koko helps you, gets hurt, and Lillie tries to help it, and later saying that while it is hurt, she will cheer it on. I dunno, felt like sharing that :3
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.
I know they are all so unique i simply like them all
Drampa doesn’t even look real
Yeah, I don’t think it’s gonna be the main dragon though: I think it’ll be like drudiggon…
I hope it is. They could do so much better
Maybe…. I think these were as crazy as they’re going to get (although I kind of like that they’re different and a bit crazy XD)
The bug types seem to be the highlight of this generation. And the designs so far are high quality too.
Also electric.
I demand a Ground Type
Yes I want some ground types revealed.
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.
On a darker note, it’s the ultimate team-up with Smeargle… 😉
It was neede imo gale wings us too op unless u have a rock type
Yup! It just blocks priority moves!
I really hope it has an evolution then, because I don’t want to see this ugly fish in all the tournaments. It could be like the new Feebas.
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.
I’m convinced he’s the champion
During the tree house, they did say he is a really strong trainer on the island. Champion is very plausible.
Or one of the E4.
Four islands. Four spirit protectors. Four Elites.
Maybe there are more Gyms and E4 anymore.
Each island consists of you locating one of the top dogs and beating them in a battle before you have access to the ‘proverbial’ champion.
Oh, so it’s like each island is a mini-region, and beating all 4 mini-regions gets access to the champ. A likely idea.
It would make sense. He seems too badass to be a nobody.
I think that’s hala? I feel like being the island leader, he and the legendary guardian of the island would have some kind of connection
It’s more likely. It would be weird to see legendaries tamed in pokeballs.
Tbh the one that bothers me most was Drampa. However it reminds me of a bland Chinese dragon
I kinda like it. I’d like it more if it was a dunsparce evo (which I don’t think it is honestly)
Nah. It could’ve been though. I would’ve liked it 500x more if it were Ghost instead of normal
At least it’s a new typing though. Would’ve been lamer if it was pure dragon
Just wanted to throw this out there, but the evolution screen shown in the trailer looks pretty nice. 🙂
Still waiting on them to morph into their new forms rather than pop out of a ball of light. Ya know, like the anime.
Maybe they wanted to get all of the controversial pokemon out of the way with one video…
They forgot to add the starter evos… :p
But I guess they’re controversial enough for a second video.
I think he meant based on their designs… Lol
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).
So is Grubbin so supposed to sound like Plug in?
Plug in > Charge/Charge up/Charger > Volt
Those aren’t Grubbin’s evolutions, are they?
Most certainly they are. Grubs turn into beetles.
Yeah, but the battery doesn’t look like a pupa
But it has the little ovals on the side that grubbin had.
And same mouth, and pincer things in front
I still don’t think that Grubbin will evolve into that. That’s such a major color and design change
There’s no way it doesn’t evolve into this. They said it loves electricity. I suppose it could be like a silcoon/cascoon split evo.
I’m just gonna wait until this is confirmed until I start to accept it. I just had something totally different in mind
Well now it makes sense
Can’t seem to work out what the “vika” part in Vikavolt is. Perhaps it has something to do with bugs or maybe it’s supposed to sound like something also.
Pika is electricity, so I’m guessing it’s a corrupted version of that
Battery evo is supposed to look and sound 8-bit
At first I thought it was a tiny bus
Lmao ??? i thought it was a trash dump or something
It looks like a little subway car >.<
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.
Tikis
The electric is legend?
Not confirmed but it’s likely. My guess is that if it’s not a legendary, it’s a rare interactable pokemon like Volcarona was in gen 5.
Nope, I just looked on serebii.. it the guardian of one of the islands
Well yeah but that doesn’t mean it’s a legendary
I never said it was or wasn’t..
I like how bruxish is based on the humuhumunukunukuapua’a which is native to the Hawaii area 🙂
Yeah. I hope they keep this up.
I just hope it evolves again. Its not exactly pleasing to look at :I
That name… what the heck. I am sorry but what kind of name is that. Haha.
Check out more hawaiian culture stuff, it’s like German where the names are super long and complicated
That is ridiculous and unnecessary haha. No offense. What do they call cats? Lumlumlunklunkahuahapa’a? Like seriously. ><;
Wow. .. these designs… Are so, ummm
Different .. ( 0_0)
*vomits profusely*
???
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.
I was going to mention this earlier. We’re probably going to have an Electric/Fairy, Fire/Fairy, Water/Fairy and Grass/Fairy quartet.
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?
I just wish there was a dolphin. If there isn’t one or a new whale I’m done.
There’s still a chance for Bruxish to evolve into a dolphin with a Cheshire Cat smile. 😀
That sounds unappealing but I guess I can’t be picky…
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.
It’s the guardian of one island. Said on Serebii
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.
Level 65
72
101
Level cap raised only for that pokemon
Nah, you can just never get it. Hacker exclusive Pokemon. But of course the champion will have one at lv 65 or so.
Thousand Dragon makes a debut
Noooooooooo!
Well it makes sense
It’s the age where you’re qualified to be a senior
In the video Drampa is Lv. 44
I think he means the next stage of evolution. And levels aren’t necessarily accurate anyways. And the games cheat all the time like Lance and such.
No, skiddo is right, I hadn’t noticed the level before and I think that thing looks already too bulky to have a next stage. But we never know, it’s Game Freak after all.
Oh well I mean… it does look like it could be middle or final stage to me. But still GameFreak does whatever they want haha.
Well that’s a relief, I hadn’t noticed that at all.
Do you think it’ll have a pre-evolution as well?
I think so, it’s too monstrous to not have one, right?
That’s what I thought about Druddigon, but that has remained standalone. I would love for this to have an evo/pre-evo, though, it has lots of potential.
You’ve got a point there. It hadn’t occurred to me the possibility of a standalone, though people down here are talking about being dunsparce evolution.
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
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.
Yeah, I guess… But I still can’t believe how ugly it is overall
So Vikavolt is probably going be be a lesser Galvantula which only got popular because of Sticky Web
But will be even frailer
Lesser? Do you want to fight, bro?
Bring it condor face
I actually love both, but Vikavolt’s design is a lot cooler to me. Bug/Electric master race.
I see it being kinda fast and bulky
It looks really cool though :3
I liked Galvantula because of Compound Eyes + Thunder personally.
Yes!! Perfect combination
I also thought Joltik was so effing adorable. >3>
Galvantula has pretty eyes too <3
Eh I dunno they are alright.
:I
It has 6 eyes it is creepy. Haha.
I like Galvantula because big spider shoots electricity
I hope it is strong. I love Vikavolt’s design.
But Charjabug! That thing is soooooo stupid and lazy and dumb and bad and terrible and blah I hate it.
It’s really ugly and weird. Good thing it’ll only be around for a few levels most likely.
Mmn right… I don’t mind Grubbin it isn’t great but eh. And Vikavolt looks pretty cool to be honest. But freaking Charjabug it is soooo dumb.
Yeah Vikavolt is great, the other two aren’t so much
At least it isn’t like some poor unfortunate souls looking at you Bruxish you disgusting trash.
That thing is super ug.
It is the Pokemon I hate the most from this batch. Followed by block and then Mr. No pupil.
Still don’t know how I feel about Drampa. I like everything except the eyes I think
Same. It needs like pupils or something done to the eyes and I’d be completely fine with it.
I feel like the no pupils gives it personality. As if it is a blind old wise dragon or something.
I mean… I guess I get that, but something about it is off putting because of the eyes.
It does look odd, but that’s why I like it.
To each their own haha. Like it isn’t the worst but eh.
It’s based on a battery. It’s supposed to be the shape it is.
It looks so bad though. I hate it.
I think it’s cute. Like a tiny sushi roll or something even though it’s a bug. It’s a battery so there is that
It suuuuuucks. I am just glad it evolves.
YES!!!!! Normal dragon!!!!!!!!
