7/19 Pokémon Sun & Moon Update

Just under three weeks since the last Pokémon Company reveal, we’re getting another Pokémon Sun & Moon update today! We’re not entirely sure what to expect, though we could see the two new Pokémon revealed in Corocoro make an appearance and maybe more!

A new trailer has been released in both English and Japanese!

New Details and Information

Pokémon

  • Bounsweet the Grass type Pokémon
  • Bewear Normal/Fighting type, can have the new Fluffy Ability that halves the damage taken from attacks that make direct contact, but in return it also doubles the damage taken from Fire-type moves
  • Comfey a Fairy type Pokémon that can have the Triage ability which means this Pokémon’s restorative moves gain the highest priority in battle
  • Mudsdale a Ground type horse Pokémon. Mudsdale can have the new Stamina Ability which means the Pokémon’s Defense goes up by 1 when it’s hit by an attack
  • Wimpod is a Water/Bug type Pokémon that has the Wimp Out ability; upon reaching 50% HP it will run away or switch with another Pokémon during battle!
  • Mimikyu is a Ghost/Fairy type Pokémon with the new ability Disguise; upon entering battle its disguise will take the first attack for it (no confirmation whether this is affected by contact hits or not)

Game Mechanics

  • Pokémon can now access ‘Hyper Training’ which allows for IVs to be raised for the first time ever. This is accessible at level 100 and uses ‘bottle caps’. No word if you can transfer them over from Fallout.
  • You can now host tournaments on the Global Link!

  1. Hey all I’m new here! Anyway this is cool, normally GameFreak releases info very slowly but it seems this time they are fluently revealing details. Like this is cool, I mean August hasn’t even started yet and we have more info. I sure hope we get a good Ground and Dragon type this gen too!

      • Looks cute, but I’ll wait till this gen is out. I heard something about a rumor from China that stated that there are no gyms but someone over at the Pokebeach forums said it was a mistranslation and he actually meant there were no gyms confirmed yet. I want to think maybe those cool platforms that we saw on the map with thoselight pillars are the gyms and we have no official gym areas but still have gym like battles. Its a hunch but maybe thats what the guy ment by “no gyms” as in we have no ohysical gym(s). And also tha ks for the info on the new mons, especially that Care Bear one haha!

        • Your welcome I hope they reveal new Pokemon instead of English names for two that look like they are on paper

      • Its a god thing I followed Saitama-sensei’s regerous training methods to prepare me for this challenge! Sensei, I hope you and Genos-san are watching somewhere!

        • Honestly more of just ditching you in dangerous environments
          Sharpedo infested waters wearing a chum suit, Urasring forest with honey slathered on you
          And my personal favorite the Voltorb, Electrode and Pinceo mine field with Stunfists buried everywhere

          • Hey do you know how hard it is to keep those Sharpedo fed
            You sir are personally denying them nourishment, selfish jerk…..

          • Damn he found the loophole
            Well I guess I have no other choice
            *Takes out a shovel and starts wailing on you*

          • *Gets hit but is not huet, but the shovel is besnt in my head* I think you forgot that I was trained by the mighty guy who is just a superhero for fun, Saitama!

          • Nah it was a joke meaning he took you under his wing to making another Weilder of Earth taking on all challenges! But it was a joke about that we do jokes here a lot.

          • That’s not what I said, I’m trying to inflict harm onto a completely innocent person

      • Also I’m glad I FINALLY met someone who is a fan of Rhyperior and doesn’t bash on it for its weaknesses (from the icon if you are curious).

        • Hmmmmmm I can’t tell if your buttering me up
          But nonetheless I am Earthen, otherwise known as “The Down to Earth Trainer” Grand Master of the Ground Type and site’s notorious Anti-Hero

          • Lol I have seem some of your posts, but I’m a chill guy, not to mention your brazen attitude reminds me of my best friend who for the most part acted like a, well for a lack of a better term, an but, but none less we were like bros. Hopefully we can be like bros too.

        • I like most Pokemon excluding that I don’t like to battle M-Kangaskahn, Protein Greninja’s, Zubat line, Emolga, Miltank, or any Hoenn main Legendaries! But I like all pokemon

    • Welcome to the jungle! (I have a feeling that’s been said a lot here or else you’ve missed a good opportunity)

    • Anyways I think I’ll post my introduction later as I currently have mo wifi at my dorm room. Anyways, thanks for the welcome mates and hopefully I won’t get lost in thsi Jungle lol

    • I’m surprised some people seem to not like this design. I personally love the rumored final evolution for Popplio best, but understand why some people do not like it — the femininity But “robinhoot” is just hands-down awesome with its bow and arrow swings, and leafy hood.

      • yeah out of the bunch hes def my favorite…but im willing to sacrifice its awesomeness for better evos for the other two

  2. What I want: More towns and info on the region, maybe a character or two
    What we’ll get: Trash bear’s trash name

    Reply
    • Excellent, thanks! You’re the best!

      My IV stuff trained items are on the other game though. I could also have given out more useful stuff. (Since you aren’t using that Landorus anyway–don’t worry, I have a couple and can get more.)

      • I care not for Legends
        But what I do care about is my Earthen Code
        And that is to repay those who worked hard on something in my name, and never to let anybody buy anything for me without equal debt, somethings involving not fighting an unwilling opponent, excessive brute honesty and so on

        And enjoy the Misdreavus, I have two more exactly the same so i it would just be saved for nothing

        Anyway I’m droning on, *Pulls out a Mallet* AGGHHUGHHHHHHARRRRRHHHHHH

  3. Likely to be the CoroCoro Pokemon official reveals.

    What I want, another 6-7 Pokemon drop.

    Preferably:
    Steel/Poison Type
    Ground/Fighting Type
    Dark/Fairy Type

  4. Though very unlikely
    I would love to see a return or spiritual successor to Seals

    Something just to jazz up the Pokeball entrances
