Today’s the day! Or, it was supposed to be until new Pokémon from Sun & Moon were leaked and then officially revealed yesterday. Even so, we’re still expecting a modicum of new Pokémon information in addition to an English trailer! The Japanese and Western trailers have all differed so far, so we may just see something we didn’t see last night! The official English site contains new details about last night’s Pokémon!
We now have the official English trailer and some new updates:
- Charjabug has a new ability, Battery: “Charjabug has the Battery Ability, an Ability not seen before in any other Pokémon. The Battery Ability allows it to raise the power of allies’ special moves.”
- Vikavolt has the ability Levitate
- Tapu Koko has the ability Electric Surge which creates Electric Terrain when it enters battle. It also knows the brand-new attack Nature’s Madness which decreases opponent’s HP by half. It’s closed form is teased to be used at certain special times… It is also the guardian of Melemele Island
- Bruxish is the Gnash Teeth Pokémon and has the abilities Dazzling and Strong Jaw. The former is a new ability which prevents opponents from using priority moves that strike first (appears to block only offensive moves from description)
- Cutiefly is the Bee Fly Pokémon and has the abilities Honey Gather and Shield Dust
- Drampa is the Placid Pokémon and sports the abilities Beserk and Sap Sipper. It’s Sp. Attack will increase by 1 if its HP drops below half for the former ability, a new addition to the game
- Komala is the Drowsing Pokémon and has the ability Comatose which keeps it asleep and safe from other status conditions
- Rockruff is the Puppy Pokémon and has abilities Keen Eye and Vital Spirit
- Togedemaru is the Roly-Poly Pokémon (omg, how adorable) and has the abilities Iron Barbs and Lightning Rod
- We also have confirmation that Zubat will appear in the wild!
While we’re waiting, enjoy chatting in the comments or in our live chat room!

ps- Swadloon has been very lonely, have you visited our forums lately?
I’ve just noticed Chargerbug’s accordion cry <3 <3 <3
I was thinking 8-bit video game sound?
So it seems that riding pokemon is back and its just as underwhelming as ever. I wish they would just make a saddle item or something and let you ride on certain pokemon outside
Idk but i kinda see a belt or something on stoutland and trainer seems to be holding it to control him
I swear Bruxish is just given this ability to compensate for how popular its evolution is going to be. I smell a Feebas/Milotic and Magikarp/Gyarados situation where Bruxish’s evolution is a beauty but loses its Dazzling ability. Thus, for those who want Bruxish for its ability can keep it from evolving and those who want just its evolution for its beauty and better stats can evolve Bruxish. Win/win situation.
Idk….I don’t think Bruxish will evolve. If anything I think something would evolve into it rather than it being the base Pokemon. Either way I don’t think it’ll be more than a one stage Pokemon. It has the same feel as Alomomola. That said people thought Alomomola would be luvdisc’s evolution so….idk lol
Anyone else notice there is no Trainer behind this Litten? Could it possibly be wild? They have never made starter pokemon wild before but they could be looking to change things up.
Well technically they sort of have with the friend safari. I wish they would explain how the starters are so rare though.
True but I meant like before post game
I think it’s just to show off Tapu Koko. For these kinds of videos the trainers don’t need to be there 100% of the time. It’s about the Pokemon more.
I think it’s just the moves animation doesn’t show the trainer behind. It just shows Litten being attacked.
But in the same batch of pics it has a pic of someone battling a Yungoos with the trainer standing behind it, why do it for one but not the others
True, but keep in mind, Litten was on the side the Trainer would battle from.
I doubt we’re ever going to catch starters in the wild. It basically invalids picking a starter. This is likely just some early gameplay.
I hope we don’t get more big reveals like this because I vowed to draw every new Pokemon, and because I’m a lazy piece of Trubbish and didn’t do the E3 Pokemon, I’ve got 12 to do now. x(
Haha i remember doing this in x and y hype times! I was like “ok i will draw the next pokemon revealed”, and the pokemon revealed was doublade and i was like “nope im out”
Yeah, when I first saw Solgaleo, I put it off for weeks, but I eventually got through it!
Awesome solgaleo is one of my favorite new pokemons so far!
This man is clearly insane
Prep him for euthanasia
Based on everything pokemon, I’d say the guardians are electric, fire, water, and grass (all being part fairy). The fifth artificial island is where Magearna will be
Cuz Magearna is also Artificial. And part fairy.
i love tea!
I like tea as well. I don’t see how it relates to what Gikie said.
(refresh to see gif)
YOU WATCH BIG BROTHER AHHHHHH
I really like the graphics in the picture of the forest (pay attention to the glistening thing, might be important) and I also love the visuals of the stout land riding screenshot.
– Yungoos, Normal –> Normal/Fighting or Normal
– Pikipek, Normal/Flying –> Normal/Flying –> Steel/Flying or Fighting/Flying
– Rockruff, Rock –> Rock/Dark
– Komala, Normal –> A split evolution: Normal/Fighting and Normal/Psychic
– Bruxish, Water/Psychic –> Water/Psychic
– Cutiefly, Bug/Fairy –> Bug/Fairy
“No more Fire/Fighting starters? Here, have a Fighting regional bird and a Fighting regional mammal!”
“Brilliant! Give this guy a raise!”
OMG! Why would they create other Grass, Water, and Fire-type Pokemon when we already have the starters? -_-
Good speculation. I could see a split evo for Komala. I think Rockruff will evolve twice though, perhaps Cutiefly too.
I could also see Pikipek becoming Ground/Flying for some reason.
Mm, I have Yungoos pegged for Normal/Dark.
As much as I hate it, Drampa might actually be really good in VGC.
I love Drampa and how it reminds me of Falkor, but my cousin pointed out that it looks like something else… Anyone else get a “Snoop Dogg” vibe from that dragon? ??
Kukui: “This region is chockful of rare pokemon!”
*caves are filled with zubats*
“It’s super rare, Cousin!, you can only find it in the 30 caves in Alola!”
I really like Vikavolt and hope they do something similar to unova and make the beginning bugs decently strong. I’m also very curious to see what Cutiefly will evolve into. Im hoping it’s a three-stage like Grubbin
Vikavolt is already in my Bug top 2 along with Vivillon.
Omg. Another person who loves Vivillon!
By the way, the screen shot of the player riding Stoutland, 100% in the island with the canyons. Couldn’t be more obvious XD
The canyons seems bit too short. I wish they went a lot deeper.
I think those are only a small part of it. I think they will go deeper….
cutiefly is literally The Pokemon™
#legendsonly #whenwillfyourfave
Honestly I never expected to love a bug Pokemon this much 😕 They’re usually one of my least faves haha.
right? cutiefly really did that!! When it evolves to the most iconic glass cannon in pokemon history>>>
Yeah, haha. It DID that. What an icon. *insert rihannawink.gif*
// we’ve been too much on Tumblr 😛
Anyway, I have a feeling it will evolve into a hummingbird, don’t ask why lol
askjasjksa enough! literally all my pokemon posts are like that in tumblr. And yeah its evolution can go anywhere tbh
What’s your tumblr blog? I’m expecting it to be good 😛 (as it’s a flop) AND YES I DO WATCH BIG BROTHER. I need to talk about it ASAP
@natalie-negroti sakskaj MESSAGE ME AHHH
I really hope it evolves into something awesome! 😀
Actually, it doesn’t need to evolve. It’s already LEGENDARY
Please, let Charjabug get a decent move pool
We have cutiefly and beautifly, when are we going to get coolifly, smartifly, and tuffyfly?
Alrightifly
That’s a greatifly idea!
Beautifly – Gen 3
Cutiefly – Gen 7 (4 gens apart)
???fly – Gen 11?
Gangstafly.
Gets touch claws and bullet punch
I’m leaning more towards intimidate and pay day…
I like intimidate, maybe gender dependent because gen 11
Assuming we’ll ever get a gen 11 xd
at the rate we’re going at, 2025-2027
It better be contest themed
It’s obviously in alphabetic order, so Dutifly. Probably a drone fly or something.
Fruitifly
Contestifly?
I want a full contest team of contest bugs
Off topic, but any of you name your pokemon weird/funny/serious nicknames?
Not really. I usually name them after Book/TV Show/Movie characters 🙂 Oh, and in Nuzlockes I name them after gemstones or colors haha.
Named my Ferrothorn GameOfThorns
Knightmare the Chesnaught. Knightmare = Knight .Nightmare. Pretty clever right
People like puns. Not rhymes
why not both?
okay maybe cuz rhymes are for nursery kids? (see that pun right there?)
Oh I got a lot of puns. Here are some of my classics: Shinsengoomy, Gimmick Key and The Roc.
Goomy’s omg I’m dying!
Nice! I thought no one would get that. <3
I named my Mawile Alice. Because of Alice in Wonderland and Malice.
Drink me
I dunno….You seem kinda ….solid
It’s a reference dummy
Weeeeeelllll, I don’t get the reference. I get very few references in fact cuz I have a limited area of expertise like MenacingCascoon, just a bit more broader than his
I’m naming my Popplio Goofball!
I think I named my Tepig “Fat Ugly” on my most recent Black playthrough and then proceeded to dump it in the daycare and never looked back.
450 Braise It
Wow, that one got me.
My Rowlet is going to be Moist Owlet
You just beat me to it! XD
You too! Yaaaaaas!
You bastard
literally me
I named mine Agnes on my first play through
I have a Mismagius named Salem Witch and a Blaziken named Hot Wings
Named my Blaziken – 420 Blaze It lol. I gave Hot Wings to Moltres
Sewaddle Wally
Surskit Bubbles
Camerupt Dagmar
Rhyhorn Rhonda
Sewaddle – Wally *winces* Jeez, what did that kid do to you?
Be born
He has a badass Gallade, so he couldn’t be that bad….
In my Emerald days I called my Sceptile Woodcutte cuz i couldnt fit that ‘r’ lol
Sceptile was actually the hardest for me to nickname and still is
I call my present AS sceptile Sparklez as my team is full of youtubers(not poketubers mind)
I always call my Sceptile “Glade”, Seemed to really fit it.
I don’t like nickname pokemon, but I just kinda spell their names differently. guess my team, shouldn’t be too hard!
Sirpeeryurh
Arkaynyne
Vyveeahn
Ahltariiuh
Meenshoww
Mylowtik
Serperior
Arcanine
Vivion
Altaria
Meinshao
Milotic
yepp!
What about the picture of Pikachu using a move. I wonder if it’s new or not. They should replace Ash’s stupid electroball for something new.. Should of never gotten rid of Volt Tackle. They use ball as mush or more than thunderbolt now. With volt it made sense to not over use it.. They should have made iron tail the attack that changes. He only needs 1 electric move anyways
ikr Volt tackle is much better than stupid electro ball. Pikachu aint even that fast
It’s just charge beam
But they said new attack more powerful than before
Yeah, but this pic was found in the new features section.
I know this is small but i hope they take advantage of the pokemon animation more. Like in battle you probably see one if not two of the pokemon animations. But when you look at the pokemon through the party you will see each pokemon has 3 animations and one is like never used. So i know this is small but maybe have one for physical attacks one for special attacks and one for statuses.
i think is going to happen. In the video you can see 4 360 views of the new pokemon so maybe those 4 views will be the new animations
No i dont think you know what i mean, i mean the pokemon actually using an attack animation
IE the animation used for movement while fennekin moves flamethrower
OHHHH ohhhh ohhhh. tru hopelly that happens
Omg no!!!!! Not zubat!!!!! XD
I do like Crobat
Lemme just repost this… https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/b8/56/eb/b856eb6cc2e2cd74e290a65100449efd.jpg
your profile pic is lit my friend
It’s not Litten! 😀
i know is the iconic OP Bruxish
oooooooooooh im soooooo hyped for Drampa! :3
Didn’t peg you as a gerontophile
Oh gosh no.. Lol
We’re all thinking it
Komala is always asleep so you already going to need sleep talk to use him…
EDIT: (it said drowsing not sleeping so nvm this comment is irrelevant now)
We also should have a new ability on a pokemon that increases slash/stab/cut moves
Any name ideas?
slasher ( whew what an original name by me)
I thought of a better one
Hyper Cutter
oh hi im bald! #iconicabilitiesnamesonly
Razor Edge
Steel Blade
Edge Guard
Screw that we need one specifically for Earthquakes
AFTERSHOCK!!!!
All Earthquake moves damage a second time
Magnitude
Bulldoze
Earthquake
I want a trailer for Komala and Rockruff next please
I think I heard it’s the third we get next but don’t quote or take my work for it!
I’ve seen a lot of people (not on here) mentioning the alchemical idea of “being done when seven become one.” And today is the first of the seventh month. And we got seven new Pokemon… Why the emphasis on 7?
It ate nine.
Maybe because it’s Gen 7?
