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!
As Ed, Edd n Eddy once said… “That’s my horse”
*Punches you*
ITS MY HORSE
Earthen! Do you like your horse!?
*Smashes a vase over the head*
NO WAY! THAT’S MY HORSE!
*Takes a crowbar and clocks you*
ITS MY HORSE
*Slams an cartoonishly oversized hammer into your side*
IT’S MY HORSE!
Both of you jog on, its mine!
No no i remember making a list here of animals that i would like to see made into pokemon and i remember saying “more equine/horse pokemon” so that automatically makes it mine sorry to all three of you
Darn, they missed the chance to name Comfey Leifey..
Omg people work fast
Mudjack Horseman
Hey guys, can anyone answer me this, please: in the japanese trailer showing off these new mons, in the part where Mimikyu is shown battling against an Ariados, why does it look like Mimi is about to attack when it gets hit by the opponent? No other pokémon in the trailer does that..
true, perhaps it mimics when its opponent moves as well as mimicking pikachu 😛
Could be what Lav said, or Ariados is using Sucker Punch. The new animation might actually include the other mon trying to attack before SP lands. If what I said is true, that’s actually pretty cool, the attention to detail is much appreciated
Oh, I see; that’s highly likely, even though they are trying simpler designs for the new mons, the attention to detail is really apparent this gen!
Why are there so many ppl saying comfey is a snapchat filter??? Uuuuuuggggghhhhhhh at least here ppl know it is a lei
I have no idea, it looks nothing like it to me… It’s yellow but that’s where the similarities end in my eyes, the snapchat thing looks more like a sheet ghost to me.
Snapchat has a filter that puts flower crown on your head. However flower crowns existed before Snapchat. The Goddess of Sugar Daddies (aka Lana del Rey) is always depicted with flower crowns in ancient paintings.
that is the most accurate description of LDR
Honestly I’m surprised Kukui doesn’t study abilities (though doesn’t birch do that?) because there are so many new complex abilities in Alola.
Birch studies Pokemon habitats and distribution
Now the field study makes sense. XD
Kukui studies moves because they are hinting at super moves sort of how sycamore studied evolution hinting to mega evos
I got a question: what does Bounsweet,Comfey,Wimpod,Mudsdale,Bewear And Mimikyu reminds you of?
Bounsweet-cherubi
Comfey-leis and hawaii vacation lel
Wimpod-trilobite
Mudsdale-AWESOME HORSE OF DOOM
Bewear-the long lost brother of we bare bears
Mimikyu-pikachu duh
hmm interesting.
Pokémon.
-_-; yes but what does these pokemon reminds you of?
Sun and Moon.
-__-; >< yes but what does these pokemon in Sun and Moon reminds you of?
I hope Wimpod has two evos where he becomes more confident. The next evo won’t be scared and be overall normal, while the final evo will be teeming with confidence, even recklessness.
Basically my life made into a pokemon…
Same but in reverse. XD
I was a Wimpod before evolution
NOW IM A JERK AND EVERYONE LOVES ME
Finally I found this …..wait did they change Greninja pause in the game ?..It’s looks much better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8QZ75Wamk4
Looks nice. Greninja pause in game?
I’m guessing… “greninja’s pose.”
Ah, well they didn’t, that’s just its out of battle pose used in Pokemon amie which they use for in the distribution for whatever reason.
ok i will fix this
Hello I am bit late to the party.
I have to say I am not really thrilled with the newbies, except Wimpod cause I already see it killing it with his evo. They need to push up the variations with the types. To many bugs and water types already.
Wonder if the Ghosty will have more than just a Pikachu disguise and if it will evolve.
Still sad no Megas, hopefully we get a bunch next time.
Cherubi is lucky, only the little one gets eaten while bounsweet gets eaten whole, poor bounsweet
https://youtu.be/rQvIR1oL1vE
If anyone can fully animate this entire into with Mudsdale I would be very impressed
I feel stupid for this but what the heck is bounsweet?
A mangosteen, a tropical fruit.
Wow now I feel more stupid because I didn’t know what that was before this.
They don’t really have them in the USA, not normally anyway. They mostly grow in Indonesia, India and Puerto Rico.
I didn’t see one before ……this world is generous.
If you don’t mind me asking, what is your first language?
This is question is forbidden for me ….srry dude….maybe another time.
Sorry if I was being nosy, I was just interested :/
ur not at all …..but I would like to keep this as secret for many reason ….sorry for being cautious.
No no it’s cool, you don’t have to do anything your not comfortable with! Don’t be sorry 🙂
Wow, cool. 😀 I though that it was based on the Lychee berry. But I was obviously wrong. 😀 LOL I’ve never heard about this fruit. I wonder what it tastes like. 🙂
The texture is hard to describe. It’s soft, but not like orange or strawberry soft. It’s not hard like an apple nor pear neither. It’s, in the loosest sense, “meaty” like a slow-cooked pork, but not fibrous. Again, that’s just texture. It’s definitely sweet with hints of acidity to it. That’s the best I can describe it.
Ah cool. Thank you, I’ll have to see if I can find some, sometime, to try. 😀
that clever question actually.
Crazy idea: what if there was a normal evo for comfey and a split evo where you had to have flabebe in your party. It says comfey picks flowers and never lets them go, so what if comfey picked up a Flabebe’s flower? A fusion evo would be cool.
I had a similar idea, but I was thinking that it was just plain, another evolution of Flabebe, like you need to achieve a certain condition before it would evolve into Comfley. 😀
I like these despite one being a fruit and another being lei. I don’t like Wimpod’s ability though…
What if it evolves to make its opponent flee when it reaches under 50% ?
That would be horrible, what if you were trying to catch what it made run away :/
I mean, it already happens now with its ability, just that it runs away itself
Yeah but if it made any opponent do the same thing as it *shudders* if its ability did that I would never use it :/
That would be weird tbh.
It would make catching Pokemon annoying af.
Just thinking about shiny hunting for that thing makes me shudder
Just hunt with a Shadow Tagger
Have a Pokemon that know Hypnosis. 😀 It can’t escape if its sleeping. 😀
Ugh we sucked yet another info day dry
I am starting to feel the brain gluttony
I NEED MOAR
What’s your opinion on mudsdale?
It’s ugly, I don’t like anything about it, I’ll never use it, hope I won’t see it too frequently and I wonder if it has any evolved or pre evolved forms
Really? Aren’t you happy with the first Alola Ground-Type? Today has been an amazing day for Pokemon and Persona fans!
I absolutely love it, but since it’s such a big hit everyone is adding it to their teams
One thing I usually never have to worry is Grounds aren’t usually a fan favorite so not many people load up on them
I get that completely. It doesn’t feel as special when everyone wants it. But believe me when I say this is announcement day fever. Same thing happened with Rockruff and Pikipek, not to mention Cutiefly, oh and Salandit . . . You see my point? This happens on almost every announcement day and then it tapers off.
True but you know how I can be sometimes
I have a cripplingly strong sense of uniquity
Nobody dare mack on my style
Don’t worry about it; in a week or two when the next big announcement comes up, everyone will “add the Pokemon to their team” and Mudsdale will be a thing of the past for people other than the true fans of it. Trust me, I’ve seen it happen many many times.
You can use Pokemon that other people use yanno. Who cares if 10 other people on here are gonna use Mudsdale, chances are that your exact team won’t be the same & does it matter that much. If it fills a space, I’ll use Pokemon for type coverage & cause I like it aesthetically
I do care
And believe me it’s extremely possible for many people to have a team extremely similar if not exact as yours
Teams aren’t just some game to me, dey’re like parts of me that respond to my aspects
Well if your team’s the same, you’re gonna have to prove your skill and beat em, the only Earthen way to do it
I’m quite sentimental with my team too, I even give them they’re own lil space in the PC when I’m egg hatching
Though bad example
Do you know how many fracking duplicate teams I see on showdown everyday
That’s online tho where everyone wants the easiest way to the top. In game is different
“Truly skilled trainers try to win with their favorites”
Meaning it doesn’t matter what people think or do. As long you like it, use it.
Karen was a genious, and they say dark leaders are evil
Ground hipster.
I’m not planing on adding it. I mean I like it, but it wont be on my team. (My mom will probably have it though, she loves all the horse type Pokemon. 😀 I’m going to get a game for my mom to play, because I’m tired of not having anybody, ((That I personally know)) to play the games with.
Futaba! How’d you like the P5 info deluge. I was already so hyped for P5 and the more I see I just keep getting more and more hyped.
Not even 8 hours after the announcement and you still aren’t satisfied. Never change earthen, never change.
You’ll be relieved that I never change
Not in the 3 and a half years I’ve been here at least.
Remember: once s/m come out, you’ll have to wait about a entire year for new news.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
YEAH! EAT IT SANS! I WAS SUPER FILLED WITH DETERMINATION! I FINALLY DID IT! ok carry on.
Oh yay! Good for you! Still stuck on undyne the undying.
D: You monster.
trust me I feel like a complete dbag sans was my buddy
Out of all these new abilities I can easily see how one could abuse them and make you want to pull your hair out
Bulk up to endure the hit into Stamina with a Sitrus berry
Spamming Synthesis with a Sun Team with Tirade
Subbing a Disquise
And…. I guess Fluffy is counterable with Fire and Wimp out is quite literally the wimpiest ability every conceived unless you can maybe stack U-Turn I just don’t see this being useful unless a high speed toxic and scram
GameFreak has created more competitively viable Pokemon. I seriously surprised by how Fluffy causes it to take Double Damage from Fire Type moves!
I mean all that cuddle fluff is flammable
Ohohohoho
These Tournaments can restrict non sun and moon Pokemon, interesting
now if they could detect and reject hacked Pokemon I’d be in hell (I know what I said)
Are you the happiest there?
Nope just saying that we’re all going to burn
Wimpod’s evolution has been discovered in South Africa!

This movie 🙁
What’s its name??
The movie? District 9
hey in the Japanese clip with mimikyu, it looks to be a abandoned market. but there is a logo on the wall, it looks like a pokemon, but im not sure which one.
Funny it looks more like a small graveyard to me. 🙂
Look in the Japanese trailer.
I see Bewear, but that’s just me
I thought so at first, but the fluff is on top of its head, whereas Bewear has ear like fluff. maybe Bewear has a pre evo?
I got some pics, I have no idea what it could be though, too blurry:
Could you post them? I’m having trouble finding it in the clip
Refresh
I read in Serebii’s Confirmed Info and Hoaxes forum that the bag only has four pockets. I’m guessing they’re misc items, key items, medicine, and tms, but what about berries? Surely they aren’t removing them.
Maybe placed with medicine? I have no clue
Where did they get that info? I don’t think we’ve ever gotten any look at the bag
I’m just curious where they found it
Beats me. But it’s Serebii (I know that doesn’t mean it’s 100% true, but you catch my drift).
Mudsdale is going to give Hippowdown a run for his money
Not unless it has Sand Stream
stamina is a better ability than sand stream imo
But the Sandstorm synergy……
I’m sad hippowdon doesn’t have sand coming out of him in the new models.
So it seems like all these Pokemon are from the 3rd island of Alola (counter clockwise according to map). The first batch of Pokemon I think were from the second Island. I have a feeling that we are getting Pokemon from the 4th island next.
What do you guys think?
What makes you say they’re from the 3rd island? I personally think the place where Wimpod is battled looks like the first island and Salandit is on the third (CCW). But I believe you’re correct about the fourth because we’re getting that island in the next Corocoro, I believe.
It looked like the area they were battling was part of the 3rd island (except for Wimpod XD) and Salandit was in the group of Pokemon I was talking about. The pokemon that I feel like are on the second island are: the starters (duh lol), the obvious first route pokemon, komala, rockruff, cutiefly, togademaru, and bruxish.
My bloated gelatinous gut has a hunch that Mudsdale’s prevo could be found near that there Farm on island two
What is the name Mudsdale a mash-up of?
Also, if there really is a pre-evo, what do you think its name will be, o lord of naming pokemon.
Mud and Clydesdale, a kind of horse.
ooh nice thx
T_T Clydesdale and Mud
And it would probably be something like Coltrotter
dont cry Ian
I don’t cry, I rampage
But I was giving you a look since the name was kinda obvious
Ian idfk types of horses! Youre the one who went vet school…
