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
I feel it’s odd. .. that we’ve seen so many pokemon and still the only one I know for sure will be on my team is Litten. I wanted a Rowlett too but I don’t think I’ll even use that.
Bruxish’s ability seems to negate priority moves during the first turn.
Hm… interesting… still the worst design though.
I just want to say that Cutiefly is a badass and I will likely use it on my team, even if it doesn’t evolve.
There’s no way that little shrimp doesn’t evolve
Watch it be the Pseudo Legend! xD I would laugh my ass off if that were the case.
If it had a BST of 600 I would probably worship it. Or destroy it in anger with my Volcarona (who was ripped off)
Cutiefly is the ultimate psuedo, has an ability that negates all others and has an attack which is super effective against all Pokemon.
I’m going to stick with it through the end, that’s for sure. I will always have room for a Bug/Fairy.
I’ll have to see its evolutions and the other electric and bug pokemon of the region before I decide between Vikavolt and Cutiefly
I know right?! The design is simple, cute, and loads of awesome! KAWAII! <3 <3
Did anyone catch what Drampa’s ability is?
Pokebeach says it’s called Frenzy
I think of it as a free Weakness Policy because when it was hit by a supereffective move, its Sp. Atk. stat was raised.
Called Frenzy. Apparently it’s special attack rose but it’s unknown what triggers it. Could be the super effective move, could be low health
I cannot tell you how ecstatic I am that we have a normal dragon type! ive been praying for this type combo for a long time, because I love normal types sooooooo much!
So far, most of the typings of these Pokemon are very unique and something you would not expect! Let’s pray for that Fighting/Dragon now!
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
The only good ones were TapuKoko and Vikavolt.
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.
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
These are all my feelings ? exactly how I feel about all the designs!
Drampa! love him!
Switch Cutiefly with Drampa and that’s how I feel about the reveals :3
I was going to put it there, but I didn’t want to leave Togedemaru all alone 😛 It’s still incredible, in my opinion!
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
A-tier: Popplio, Nekkoala, Pikipek, Grubbin
B-tier: Litten, Solgaleo, Cutiefly, Iwanko, Lunaala
C-tier: Yungoos, Togedemaru
F-tier: Bruxish, Magearna
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?
Goodra is coming back
Was it announced already?
I dunno. But I hope it does.
Got it!!
No. Goleta just had an episode where Ash visited it. That’s why people got confused.. though I knew better
Ash won’t be bringing back reserves. However, his 6th slot is still free. If he were, they would hype it up to the heathens and so far, we’ve received news of Ash’s upcoming 3 battles and none feature his reserves.
So it’s probably Goodra then, huh…
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.
I can’t unsee now
Also, Lip Service from that spongebob episode, and I think it looks like that feminazi woman with the pink lipstick who’s a meme
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
I think it will be like Druddigon. Standalone Dragon
Feel the same way!
Or maybe the first ever two-stage dragon.
After extensive research, I discovered that Tyrunt is a two stage dragon.
…Damn you fossil t-rex! That reminds me though I wonder what our fossilmons will be this time.
I hope we get a velociraptor.
A raptor and a triceratops would be awesome.
What do you think the types would be?
Rock/Ground Triceratops. Rock/…I dunno. I could see Grass or Electric for the Raptor.
Also noivern.
Right… I forget he is a dragon because he is a bat. ><; X/Y just kicked me in the balls with that.
Some people thinking its a Dunsparce evo xD
Llpulls a Benjamin Button and evolves into drateen
That is SUCH a good idea. Another Pokemon that gets smaller and less menacing as it evolves! I don’t know if Drampa is a good fit for that, but I want to see something along those lines.
“Another”?
I’m thinking about Bellossom as an example.
Ah. Right I forgot about her. She does get really small haha.
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?
I feel it won’t but I like its typing and ability. It may have good defensive stats
*COUGH* GROUND
Rough ask hidden ability plz
Edited
Steel/Electric is the most resistant typing in the game.
I think this thing will actually be decent for once.
Then again it’s Weaknesses to Ground, Fire and Fighting don’t do much for it.
It probably won’t evolve. It is so goofy looking though.
I love iy
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. 🙂
Tapu Koko is my favorite in this bunch. I really hope that we can catch him early on like it seems in the trailer because I love it
Yeah that would be kinda cool. 😀
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.
I’m saying that in two or three reveals we will get them.
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.
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.
Their delivering with S/M. This idea of simple designs is seriously working.
I never doubted the approach for a second. It almost feels like a fusion of Gen 1/Gen 2 and Gen 5 with the unique designs and simple approach.
I hope so. I hope we get ~115 Pokemon, and maybe 8 Megas. Making less Megas makes them special.
No more megas! ><;
We need more Megas
No they need to be removed entirely. They implemented the idea terribly.
How was it terribly implemented? The disabled Mega Pokemon from using items and Pokemon got some unique designs. I loved the concept of Mega Evolution, it transformed the Meta-Game and made Pokemon feel fresh again.
They removed any chances of Pokemon getting real evolutions that aren’t temporary even if they weren’t a stage 2 Pokemon.
I could see that being a issue, Mawile did not get a proper evolution, but the abilities and temporary buff did assist the Pokemon heavily. Look what it did to Pidgeot and Beedrill. People love using them!
Pidgeot and Beedrill were stage 2 mons though! I want something permanent for Pokemon that aren’t stage 2.
Uh no they don’t. It was an awesome idea. If you don’t like it, simply don’t use them. 😛 I for one like the Megas. There are a few Pokemon that I would LOVE to see, get mega form’s.
So yeah the Megas NEED to stay. 😀
I don’t use Megas. But that doesn’t help with the fact that some Pokemon are screwed out of real evolutions now since they mega evolve temporarily instead which is just completely lame and lazy on their end.
I dunno if you’ve read my complaint about them but no they don’t need to stay at all, but will stay.
Uh I DID read it, that’s why I even bothered to comment. But they do need to stay. Just because you don’t like them doesn’t mean that they need to go. 😛
I meant my reasoning as to why they screwed up.
They implemented the idea perfectly.
It was brilliant to see it spice up the metagame and add a new mechanic to the stale battling system.
I want more Megas.
Plz nu. ><;
I agree with you.
What if we got a Mega Xatu?!? :O
I would prefer Qatu, a real evolution.
I don’t want a lot, just a little to keep the balance of all of them introduced last gen.
Why do I feel like there won’t be any new megas? If there were, you think they would have unveiled at least one by now..
Or maybe they don’t want to reveal all of the new ones so it’s a surprise when you find them in game!
I don’t doubt that there are. They wouldn’t remove a game changin feature that they made such a big deal about in the previous gen.
Maybe there will, but not quite as many. There’s obviously going to be that new “burst” feature introduced or whatever it ends up being called – I wonder how that will effect the metagame and how many megas get introduced…
They might we never know.But yeah not likely. Plus those braclets.
Uh no. In X/Y, we didn’t get Megas for months. We got Megas for OR/AS fast, due to the game not having any new Pokemon but them. There trying to show more new Pokemon before new Megas.
I’d be happy with 15 megas.
But only if they give otherwise forgotten Pokemon a new lease of life.
Powerful Pokemon don’t need to be made more Powerful.
I don’t know how so many new pokemon are implied.. especially after last gen which wasn’t on 4 islands ranging from small maybe 2 large.
I thinks that’s wishful thinking.
I hope they do…
But I dunno about these designs
If I had to pick 5 of my favorite pokemon revealed so far it would go:
– The starters (gonna clump them together. shhhhhh…. XD)
– Grubbin and its evos.
– Tapu Koko
-Solgaleo (I prefer it over Lunaala)
– Nekkoala
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!
Whaat? No way! Flygon and Milotic are good looking pokemon. If they get megas, they better do it right
What? I would love Flygon and Milotic Megas! I want a Water/Fairy pretty Pokemon!
Really though, why isn’t Milotic fairy? They must’ve missed that when retyping Pokemon.
Earthen shot the guy who decided to make Milotic Water/Fairy before the idea was approved.
And had the head mounted on a pike
What?
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.
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
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.
This is the same thing i say, the simple designs make them perfect and unique i simply love the design choices of gen 7
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
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.
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
I agree with you, I think that they are fine, although I really don’t like the bug Pokemon, but whatever. 😀 I do however really love Drampa, and Cutiefly. <3
I’m starting to think that maybe new megas are gone.. the diamond thing will make the old megas appear but the new sync engine will be dominant for the rest. But I don’t know. I really don’t see us getting a mega bracelet to put on top of this new one
I think Tapu Koko will have some meta-game usage. Is anyone going to make a full-electric S/M team?
Automatic Electric Terrain.
Let’s see STAB (*1.5) and Electric Terrain (*1.5).
1.5*1.5 = 2.25 multiplier on STAB Electric Moves.
I hope it’s really fast, with high special Attack.
Don’t forget still an item slot left open
I just realized that it has a bird mask I love this thing
Milotic was there, does anyone still have hopes for a mega form to happen? Or maybe with this new evolution rumors (sync/chakra/voodoo/meditation, whatever) people gave up on that already?
Who has the time to care about milotic when we have so many unique new pokemon to look up for!
I find it interesting that both Flygon and Milotic were featured in the trailer…what are you trying to say GameFreak?
Nothing just hinting that trapinch and feebas appear in the alola region…
I just do not see why Tapukoko is part fairy it just feels more Pure Electric or Electric/Fighting
But what’s done is done
I’ll be out of work in 45 mins
That’s what i said a few comments back i want a Electric/Fighting type! XD
It floats… thus it’s a Fairy!
Well it might be Fairy because of its history as part of its text.
I mean maybe it’s fairy because it’s part of fairy tales told to children, as part of the guardian role it has?
The more fairies that arent just cute fluffballs (dont get me wrong I love the cute fluffballs) the better. Fairy fits it well since it’s a magic legend guardian
I’m surprised it is fairy as well but maybe there is a following backstory to it.
Well it Tapukoko resembles a chicken/rooster, I wonder what animals the other guardians will be.
There’s the fire, grass, water, elec theory (so one might deffo be based off a sea animal)
There’s also the tiki/totem pole theory that it could be based off, but I don’t really know what animals are part of them (apart from bears & Hawks)
hey guys this cute little gen 7 Electric rodent is based on the Ryukyu spiny rat! 😀
I saw that on bulbapedia also. Still looks more like a hedgehog to me lol
Must be a rodent mix.
Most likely cause it the spiny back
My dream pokemon would be a three staged metal/poison scorpion. What about yours?
Ice/Dark wolf pokemon with fur coat. It would be a bulky special attacker
I really want a peacock with lots of beautiful colors and the shiny version could be completely white
That’s very reasonable. I hope you get it..
Thank you 🙂 what Pokemon would you like to see?
Meh, I’m not one for guessing or Hopi g with these games.. I just complain when I don’t like designs. Lol
Haha are you like me? Mostly interested in the design not the stats?
Yeah, I’ve always wondered why they haven’t done it yet. There’s so much potential to a great design. If well executed, it could even replace milotic as the most beautiful pokemon.
– A Water/Psychic dolphin Pokemon that has a 2-stage evolution chain
– A Water/Flying flying fish Pokemon that has a 2-stage evolution chain
– A Water/Steel sword fish Pokemon that is a standalone
– A Ghost/Fairy Pokemon based off the plague doctor
– A Dragon/Fighting Pokemon based off a trainee –> master –> grandmaster scheme
– A Dragon/Bug Pokemon based off a dragonfly
– A pure Ice giant wolf Pokemon
The dolphin has to happen, sooner or later. Everybody fantasizes about it.
I seiously can’t take in all of Cutiefly’s cuteness! I mean I don’t even know haha ^^
Ikr.. I want one.. but I don’t need another fairy.. or bug type
But just look at it ^^ it makes me so happy and excited!
I know ?
