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!
Ugh I hate team building when new gen come out cause:
1. I only use Pokemon from that gen
2. Always choose grass, fire, water, electric, flying, scapegoat(HM learner mostly normal type)
3. No type repeats
4. Almost all have to be 3 stage evos (exceptions are only if gen doesn’t have 3 evo stage Pokemon of a type example gen 3 swellow)
Why oh why most I do this to myself!!!
This will probably be a story: So I saw a shiny Wimpod and used False Swipe to make it easier to catch…… then it ran away ;~;
Go round up yerself a Shadow Tag Gorthorita for the job
I honestly can’t wait to shiny hunt for most of these, which is why I’m hoping dexnav sneaking returns. Wimpod, of course, is a bit of an exception
Quick ball, my friend.
imagine trollfreak making this pokemon being lvl 40s in the wild. i would scream.
Yeah. It’s the only way.
But they’re sooooo ugly looking
The only Pokemon that look good coming out of them are Manetric and Lanturn
I once found a shiny Drifblim that used explosion true story.
I came SO close to a similar story when I found a shiny geodude in a horde. I got so lucky and caught it
One time I found a Shiny Bibarel in the Safari Zone. It ran away.
Damn :/ I know the feeling.
The same exact thing happened to me in Pearl.
Mine was in Platinum
I have to say, Mudsdale is actually a very pretty Pokemon, kinda a Arcanine kinda vibe
And not to mention Clydesdales are already very beautiful breeds
I don’t like the horse at all. It looks weird, bulky in all the wrongs ways, and it’s typing feels forced to me. Maybe I just don’t understand the influence came from? But yeah I’m really surprised anyone else likes it at all
we need an ice and dark pokemon to officially have a pokemon for every type
I really want a deepsea fish Pokemon with Water/Dark. I’ve always wanted a frilled shark ‘mon.
I want a gulper eel and a Hachetfish
Ooh, I’d love a gulper eel. That would be amazing!
I just love all marine creatures, but deep sea fish are the best.
*Shudder* normally I Lord high n mighty Earthen fear not anything and embrace the dangerous and disturbing but those gulper eels give me the jibblies
Deepish and Anglure
I like Anglure
It actually has a tinier version of itself for a lure
Since them anglers attach themselves to their mate just to be a pair of gonads
What if the mate fused onto its larger mate but onto the lure and wriggle for prey for the larger body
I think Depthish sounds a little better.
That’s a tongue turd to say
Dep-thish?
I really want an ice/fighting Pokemon. maybe like a fighting snowman or something XD
Yekid and Coldossus
Ya boi
Obviously a teenage Yeti with white bushy furn, and pale pink feet and knuckles, they have a underbite of fangs and angry blue eyes, and two horns, these Pokemon travel and train in packs punching frozen tree trunks and icy boulders to toughen their fists
And Coldossus much much bigger and muscular, a hunched back with exposed spine spikes, and their eyes are completely obscured by forehead fur, they seclude themselves in high mountain caves, their howls cause blizzards and avalanches to keep people away, they are extremely grumpy
im laughing at Bounsweet description in the official website. homegirl literally have the worst life in pokemon history
Unfortunately, it’s sometimes swallowed whole by Pokémon drawn to its aroma.
Since its bouncy movements don’t convey to others that it’s actually in desperate flight, no one ever comes to its aid.
When attacked by enemies, it drives them off by rotating the calyx on its head. The downside is how dizzy it gets afterward!
I kinda get the feeling the Bewear is at fault here haha. I could see it finding a bounsweet and trying to eat it
I’d eat it no problem
mantis shrimp fighting/water type would be kinda cool.
What about my gladiator alligators
Alegio Water-Aligladius Water/Steel-Gladigator Water/Steel
oh I like those!
Anybody else feel like theyre trying to shake up the competitive battling world with these new abilities? In the past, it felt like they introduced new abilities to cover things, make pokemon stronger and/or for gimmicks. However, for some reason, in this gen I feel like the abilities are directly aimed towards competitive battling. Anyone else get that feeling?
I agree. A lot of these abilities are gunna shake up the competative battling a whole lot. Fingers crossed for 6v6 in battle spot.
What about the fossils? What dinosaurs could they use this time. I’d love a velociraptor, rock/ground maybe.
Off topic, but Mr. Greg (tonight’s episode) was one of the best episodes I’ve seen. (Minor Spoilers) They finally fixed Pearl and Greg’s horrible relationship and it had great songs.
CRAP I KNEW SOMETHING WAS NIBBLING AT THE BACK OF MY SKULL
I DANG MISSED IT
luckily the SU fans are very diligent with uploading videos the day it comes out, right around 10 Dailymotion will have
Green if you spoil anything I will make you eat 2 metric tons of coarse sand
Ok. No Spoilers. I can do that.
Everyone dies
That pearl song tho, I died.
AHH it was so good!

I upped the brightness/contrast of the mural in the market, and that really looks like new pokemon. On the left it looks like something wearing a skull-like mask, and looks like a butterfly on the right
wat market ?
Here’s a better pic if people are talking about this
And nevermind to my post
That thing looks… Bizarre, like a slurpuff on a butterfly pogo stick…
Looks like a bird with a cloud on its head. Possibly something new?
Looks like a bear with rosy cheeks and a cake
Isn’t that just Slurpuff?
Swirlix*
it looks different to me, http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/b/bf/684Swirlix.png/250px-684Swirlix.png
as you can see here swirlix doesn’t have a beak, also in all the depictions I could find of it it didn’t have a head like the pokemon in the picture, swirlix has a round head in all depictions despite the bulbs on the head, but this poke on the wall has kind of jagged fluffs on it’s head and it isnt rounded.
I think the beak is just the weird angle its at plus the resolution of the image
possibly, but I don’t see how it could translate into any of swirlix’s features. and to me it looks like it has some clouds coming from it’s head.
Another image
now I feel stupid I see the swirlix
The ‘beak’ is the nose and the mouth of Swirlix.
Looks like a Swirlix with a chefs hat
what is this from?
Japanese trailer (mimicyou part)
nvm i scrolled down and figured it out
tell me
watch the japanese trailer with Mimikyu in it, (the trailer lower down in the main article)
It’s Swirlix wearing chef hat for sure.
I see a Strawberry cake, a Swirlix and a Bow. Some kind of Contest?
that looks a lot like hiragana beside the cake but its too blurry to make out all the characters
PSA!
Bewear (hehe never getting tired of that pun) scam sites have taken advantage of Pokemon GO. I found one saying something like to apologize for the servers, here is 16,000 poke coins. Click here to claim them! Might be kinda obvious, but just felt I should point this out.
What does the Fluffy ability mean for Fire-type moves that make contact?
Normal damage

Hey guys. Does anyone remember seeing where game freak showed the empty spaces for the starters evolutions on the Rotodex? I remember seeing the final Litten evo and it was a really tall rectangle so that may give weight to the Chinese rumour. I don’t remember where I saw that though !
I remember that. All of the sizes matched for all of the starters. Just something to think about…
Someone find a picture of this
I can’t find it! I’m sure I saw it though. Anyone else know?!
I found the picture on 4chan and shared it on here a long time ago. You can find it if you look long and hard. I’m having trouble tracking it down.
Was it at E3?
So… If your pokemon has perfect ivs already. . . The training does nothing??
Also. . . I like these Pokemon.. I just don’t know who I would want on my team. Maybe ill have to wait for the stats
Finally some Level 100 encouragment though.. I’ve only done so with my Togetic
That’s the thing…
I usually just level everything to 50+ for competitive and if I want to use the service you must painstakingly grind to 100 and then spend currently to increase ivs
Honestly I think just regular IV breeding is fine for me, I usually like some excess for WT
now there is no excuse for powersaves or PKHex, I will openly enjoy raising my pokemon to lv.100, it will take far less time than breeding for perfect IV’s
These guys are just the worst…
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-402371481
Uhh, what?
Those who got lucky with a gimmick team but thankfully I foiled it
Eh, it’s just for fun
Those words don’t exist in competition
Never
I’d argue that with AGDQ speedrunning races
So u don’t mind playing with fairies , I can’t blame u Slurpuff is OP.
Slurpuff is the only one I tolerate to a very stern degree
Ah, I love the derpy little candy-pug. :3
Mudsdale speculation:
-The best design of these for me is Mudsdale ,color is awesome as well.
-Highhorse Power looks depend on weight like heavy slam.
-the best part of his dex entry and making pkmn world more realistic is ” the power of each hoof-clop can dig out huge holes, even in asphalt. Mudsdale is forbidden to run on some of Alola’s public roads.”
Q- The real Draft Horse an original species or crossbred one? http://pre08.deviantart.net/bdae/th/pre/i/2016/201/5/c/mudsdale_by_galopawxy-daaqqjo.jpg
I was thinking about unique evolutions that could be introduced, and I remembered Sylveon’s involvement with Amie and thought maybe something similar to that could be seen. We know we have a grooming feature, so I’m going to take a wild guess and say you might be able to use the blow dryer to remove Mimikyu’s cloth.
I just cannot get over how freaking heavy Mudsdale is
Freaking 2 thousand and 28 pounds that is insane
It is currently the forth heaviest Pokemon in history only beating it is Mega Metagross and both normal and primal Groudon
Oh I am going to hate Grass Knot even more, and those Low Kick Weavile
………….I just had a thought
Why didn’t they name Mudsdale Claysdale…….? It has that terra cotta coloring and the clay sounds like clydes
My brain is imploding
That strange ….Steelix and Onix should beat that but they can’t.
Do you think it’s a stand alone Pokemon or do you think it will have a prevo or evolve into something?
or clodsdale. it kicks up clods of dirt. I think either of these names would work, but hey mudsdale is a BAMF, so whatever
I really don’t understand hyper training.. did pikachu have perfect 6 ivs in everything or did one if it’s stats go higher than possible before???
im assuming the Pikachu had no perfect IVs just so they could show off the feature.
