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!

Draft Horse Pokémon
TYPE Ground
HEIGHT 8′02″
WEIGHT 2028.3 lbs.
ABILITY Own Tempo / Stamina
Mudsdale is known for its powerful body as well as its emotional fortitude, which keeps it from being agitated by anything. It never cries out, no matter what kind of trouble it’s in, and it defeats its opponents with a single powerful blow. Its legs are coated in protective mud, and the weight of this coating increases the force of its kicks. One kick, and a car is a pile of scrap!
Mudsdale’s running speed is not too swift, but it has excellent power and stamina. It can carry on for three days and three nights despite dragging loads of over 10 tons!
When Mudsdale gallops in earnest, 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.
Mudsdale can have the new Stamina Ability, an Ability that no other Pokémon has had before. With the Stamina Ability, this Pokémon’s Defense goes up by 1 when it’s hit by an attack.

Mimikyu
CATEGORY Disguise Pokémon
TYPE Ghost/Fairy
HEIGHT 0’08”
WEIGHT 1.5 lbs.
ABILITY Disguise
Mimikyu lives its life completely covered by its cloth and is always hidden. People believe that anybody who sees its true form beneath the cloth will be stricken with a mysterious illness. People in the Alola region are convinced that you must never try to peek beneath its covering. Mimikyu’s health fails when it’s bathed in the rays of the sun, so it prefers to stick to dark places. It’s rumored that the reason it covers itself with a cloth is to avoid sunlight.
The rising popularity of Pikachu-styled merchandise around 20 years ago is the reason that Mimikyu makes itself look like Pikachu. In fact, this Pokémon is dreadfully lonely, and it thought it would be able to make friends with humans if only it looked like Pikachu.
Mimikyu has the Disguise Ability, a new Ability that no Pokémon has ever before possessed. The Disguise Ability allows it to escape damage from an enemy’s attack just one time, and then its appearance changes.
Fluffy – halves damage taken from direct contact moves, increase damage from fire moves.
A sea cockroach/silverfish, a berry, the flower necklace you get when you go Hawaii and a mud-caked donkey?
And whoever said False Colours was like a substitute was right!
THE HUG BEAR IS CALLED BEWEAR
I LOL’d omg well done GameFreak xD
I love Mudsdale
It looks EPIC!!!!!!!
Mudslade is pretty cool
Wonder if it evolves, or is just a standalone.
Could work as a standalone to be honest,
I agree
SO MANY CUTIES!!!
I’m glad we got new Pokemon, but, um, I hate them. No other way to put it. How is a flower Pokemon not grass? It’s Florges all over again. The horseshoe crab looks alright, but the horse and the tomato thing look dumb. One thing I am thankful for its that they kept Mimikyu’s name mostly.
What I’m sorry what??!!
What are you confused about here?
How could you hate them you know Earthen won’t like that!
They just don’t appeal to my tastes.
Haha, well it’s your turn to get disappointed and Earthen to be elated, I guess! Don’t worry, there’ll be more.
Yeah. With XY, every Pokemon that was announced I would prematurely add it to my team, while Alola Pokemon so far I haven’t been doing that because most of them don’t impress me.
I love them all although I agree… There’s no reason it shouldn’t be grass type. Maybe they’ll give Flores that type this gen! They’ve done that before right?
well it’s one of those flower necklaces that are common in Hawaii
I think it’s cool.
I get that, but it shouldn’t be pure fairy. Maybe grass, cause it’s a flower, or ghost because it’s animate.
I don’t really think it’s makes much of a difference, other than more competitive viability with bein a Fairy.
Could always evolve into something, but it may just be the Klefki of the generation.
It’s get the highest priority on healing moves.
It’s called a lei 🙂
Learn something new everyday
Thanks.
Comfey a lei perfect sense
thx Tevvy 😀
was trying to remember the name
I only really like the horse in terms of design.
The rest just have cool types and abilities, but designs don’t really appeal to me.
Honestly that past two announcements dissapointed me. The only one I like is Mimikyu. The ones in June and stuff were so cool, but I really dislike what they’ve been doing recently.
To be honest, thus far in terms of design, I like
Starters
Rockruff
Mudslade
Tapu Koko
Salandit
The rest are just average at best.
Types wise and ability wise, I like quite a lot of them.
I like:
Rowlet
Litten
Popplio
Tapu Koko
Vikavolt
Mimikyu
Salandit
Rest are average like you said, but with quite a few exceptions that I hate.
I wouldnt say I hate any of them, but I probably just won’t use them in game.
Competitively if they’re viable I will definitely be using whatever is good.
I hate:
Bruxish
Bewear
Comfey
Berry tomato thing
LOVE THEM!!! lol I’m even more in love with Bewear than I was when I first saw it hahahaha Also Whimpod is gonna have to be a Pokemon you catch without hurting it. Otherwise it’ll just keep running away lol
Can probably put it to sleep first, I’m guessing.
True, but damage beyond a certain pot seems like off the table. I wonder what the ability does during a trainer battle
Maybe it’s a free Red Card!
EDIT: The description explicitly says free Red Card. <3
The horse is my favourite.
The rest are just meh.
Just read Gamestop (I think it was them) will give out codes to S/M preorders for 12 in-game Quick Balls. Perfect tool to catch Whimpod 🙂
Whenever they give out those kinds of deals I find it pretty lame…..I don’t need them to give me fast balls…..lol Sorry I think my dislike of Gamstop has me less excited for that pre order hahaha
Darn, I was hoping for an Alola poster bonus.
Had to watch them! How am I ever to not be spoiled by them all lol
Bewear
CATEGORY Strong Arm Pokémon
TYPE Normal/Fighting
HEIGHT 6’11”
WEIGHT 297.6 lbs.
ABILITY Fluffy/Klutz
When Bewear is acting in a friendly fashion, just swinging its arms around, you must never dare to approach it carelessly. It is acknowledged to be a dangerous Pokémon, even within the Alola region. You may see warning signs posted near places it resides.
When Bewear grows fond of its Trainer, it may show that feeling in a fond embrace—but the force of that hug is tremendous! Trainers must teach these Pokémon how to restrain their strength when showing affection.
Bewear may have the Fluffy Ability, a new Ability that no Pokémon has ever possessed before. The Fluffy Ability halves the damage taken from attacks that make direct contact, but in return it also doubles the damage taken from Fire-type moves.
POKÉMON
ALOLA REGION
COOL FEATURES
VIDEOS
Wimpod
CATEGORY Turn Tail Pokémon
TYPE Bug/Water
HEIGHT 1′08″
WEIGHT 26.5 lbs.
ABILITY Wimp Out
Wimpod have a cowardly nature and are wary of noises and sudden movements. If you approach them in a group, they’ll immediately run off. When Wimpod feel threatened, they spit out a poisonous liquid. The stench of this toxic fluid signals others that danger is near. Despite their extreme cowardice, their curiosity leads Wimpod to approach people or Pokémon that are standing still.
Wimpod eat and store anything that they find fallen on the ground. They also scavenge any garbage that’s been dropped in the sea, so they’re highly valued as cleaners. They sometimes carry pearls or other valuable items, so humans or Pokémon like Murkrow may target them.
Wimpod has the new Wimp Out Ability, an Ability that no other Pokémon has had before. With the Wimp Out Ability, if this Pokémon’s HP drops below half in battle, it will run away or swap out for another Pokémon.
That why they put a Murkrow to battle it 😮
LOL free Red Card. Could be useful as a support Pokemon in doubles.
Can I just say that Comfey is such a clever name, comfy + fey(fairy-race)
All these names are clever! Well done GF for giving us simplistic designs with nice names
Just wanna ask earthenwarrior how was the first ground type of this gen doing to you?
