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!
I love Mudsdale! It’s totally going on my team.
My team so far:
Popplio
Pippipek
Mudsdale
Drampa (maybe, unless another Dragon-type Non-Legendary comes along)
I’m siding with Earthen on this one…we need lots more Ground-types. We only had one last gen, which is unacceptable. Game Freak really needs to double down on typing distribution (which they have done a great job with for Bug so far).
I need at least 4-5 more fully evolved Ground types to be truly be moderately happy
Diggersby and Zygarde?
Oh yeah, forgot about Zygarde. Funny, because that’s one of my favorite legendaries…
Truuuue, Zygarde is bae
I would definitely love more Ground-types. Been hoping for more since it’s my favorite type, and I’m really happy with Mudsdale.
Excuse me?
Who you is
Hello. I’ve been stalking Pokéjungle since before X and Y, had an account but I forgot my username so I made a new one. 🙂
Quit macking on my territory mate
Haha, sorry, but I would never try to take over your territory. I just think Ground types are the best. 😉
Grrrrrrr fine you can stay for now
But remember who the true King of the Earth is
Sure thing, boss. 🙂
Who knows we could be battling partners
Dishing out dual Sandstorm teams
Ohmidgod, this is like true love. Think I’m gonna cry.
He ain’t yo’ boss. Groudon is.

But Groudon works for me
I have dominion on all Ground Types
Pikachu has more dominion over Ground-types than you do.
Claus used Shade! It was super-effective!

You have an apprentice.
Why does the animation look weird?
Dunno.
How could anyone forget. It is a legendary, after all.

This is a portrait of all the Ground Types I’ve ever used in a main game
Legends don’t count
You don’t count! >:U
False lord of ground!
*Uses Rock Wrecker*
*uses Teleport*

Earthen is much more a Ground Lover than any ony I’ve seen if I have to say who is the best Ground Lord its The Earthen Warrior
Dramaalert up in this
Oooooooh…

I think 2-3 fully evolved ground type are enough. They are kinda boring
and more grass types that are //competitive// (excluding the grass starters)
Honestly though last gen passed off with 2 fullly evolved ground types though. Zygarde and diggersby
With bug and poison and ice just having one each so ground got sorta lucky at least getting two
amoura and avalugg and its pre-evo. those are three.
and amaura’s evo
Oh nvm ice did have two fully evolved. But bug certainly just had one
yeah but keep in mind, kalos introduced a new type and was a very small generation with pokemon so not really much to have lol
Thats the problem right there “small generation”
well yeah but who is to say alola will be big, i just see a lot of mix in the types
Well nobody is to say except gamefreak and im hoping they say it is big.
mhm exactly. and looks like we alright got more than 10 lol as already confirmed we would get
I agree.
I’m tired of seeing so many bug and fairies this gen
I really hope we get a Clydesdale colt prevo
I LOVE everything about this trailer! Mudsdale is amazing <3 And the concept of Hyper Training is awesome! And hosting tournaments is even better!!!!!!! This was a great reveal
That is the ability they gave to Mimikyu. . ? My god. . . How can 1 Pokemon have such a bad ass design, an absolutely amazing typing, AND a broken ability? Thank you GF.
Inb4 it’s only one hit for the entire match.
Which is still awesome, by the way.
Perhaps it’ll have a unique move to “reassemble”? 😛
I think it’s just the first hit and that’s it. Kind of like a free non-damaged switch in
Yooo we got a ground type!!! That means Earthen can shut the fuck up!!! 😀
Stop cursing or I’ll curse you 🙁
And I’ll beat him with a rusty pipe
Steel only does normal damage
Xatu used Hex!
…..thats one way to hype i guess… lol
I cant
Lol. Best comment
Quite literally every time he shows up just to make a ball busting comment about me
then just ignore him earthen, we finally got a ground type for Alola and may i add, its quite a good one too. that ability is amazing, and i love signature moves just saying
But here’s the thing
Now everyone is on the Mudsdale hype wagon
GameFreak: “Hey guys, let’s create a Pokemon that only EarthenWarrior from PJN will like and the other millions of people who play Pokemon will not like or use it”
Grow up. Stop complaining.
chico quit it. what is the point of starting?
Grow up. Stop instigating.
Cos everything else revealed today was crap so Mudsdale stands out as a boss.
You should be happy.
But who cares. You’re not the only one allowed to like ground types, earthen
Mudsdale’s hype will surely die down soon, it’s just like //everyone’s// hype with Pokemon Go. Mudsdale’s true fans will remain until the end~
Just use it! Imagine yourself riding this thing wielding an Aegislash shouting, “High ho silver!” with Rhyperior by your side. You have to look at the bright side, dude
Don’t worry about it. Take it with a grain of salt, like eryone else takes your comments.
lol why? its completely unnecessary and i think the better comments are the ones that talk about the pokemon and stay relevant to the article, not those meant to attack others and start trouble. but just my opinion
It’s a good comment, because it’s friendly banter between two people. As is apparent by the emoji at the end. I’m sure Chico has no hard feelings towards earthen.
And it is related to the article, however loosely.
This. I have no hard feelings against anyone. People just have to realize how stupid they sound when they pout and stress about something like Pokemon. Go worry about something significant.
ok now that we got ground, types we still need this gen are Ice and Dark
Woah woah woah, Disguise negates the damage taken from the first hit? NO WAY. That actually makes me think that it won’t be evolving any further. Any stat increase to that thing would just be.. Meta-game-murder. Still love it tho
it will be good just like pachirisu and dedenne if used well 🙂
Analyzing sarcasm… Analysis failed
lol i wasn’t being sarcastic
i am excited for mimikyu and togedemaru. i really am, I’m hoping they are both great to use competitively
Mimikyu seems to be.. OU potential? 3 immunities is amazing + an ability that ensures it to land at least one attack/status move but it all depends on its stat distribution at this point haha
mhm exactly but like i said, good like pachirisu if used well. pachirisu doesnt have too great stats but you didnt see Sejun Park complaining, he used pachi really well, and it was a unique pokemon in competition which made it all the better. but mimikyu is already OU for being freakin adorable
Truuue, that backstory too T.T
If it’s the first hit everytime it switches in…..
And immunity to 3 types? Breh
I’m liking these new Pokemon, another batch that are simple yet well thought out. I so wanna see all the evolutions now but I’ve gotta be patient (which is easy as I love going Pokemon hunting)
Okay. I’m really confused. Serebii says new info tonight/tomorrow morning but everyone here is saying that is incorrect.
That’s cause it’s already tonight in Japan, as in 11:47pm
Time zones, my pal.
5 bucks says that you can ride Mudsdale
Well it’s flavour text on the website says that it’s banned being ridden in some parts of Alola, so maybe there’ll be a special Mudsdale ranch/stable?
Lol poor Mudsdale.
I can imagine signs on Alola Road. A Mudsdale with a massive red cross.
It said some
There’s bound to be a wide plain for it to run in
Nice
Dat edit.
I dont think this is a doctored pic. I think GF is really becoming more progressive ^_^
*gathers as many Comfey as possible*
me: bring on the twinks!
My reaction:
(Funny desc tho)
Klefki and Flabebe had a baby and it became Comfey and it was love <3
Comfey is in my favs.
mine too, I love all the fairies, (minus mr. mim of course)
Cherubi went tropical too from what I’ve heard
this cute pic from guavajagular.deviantart.com (refresh)
(✿ ♥‿♥)
I cant stand Flabebe, like Floette and love Florges. But it still bugs me they’re not Fairy/Grass, and they made the same mistake (intentionally or not) with Comfey.
its not a mistake to me, its pretty self explanatory as the flowers are not part of the pokemon (its debatable in terms of florges but not for the others) so they don’t have to be fairy/grass
Alrighty, I actually burst out laughing b/c of Bewear’s name. And I really like Mudsdale, Mimikyu, and Wimpod. 🙂
Oh now I finally get it through my thick headed skull. This was the information to be revealed. I’m becoming very concerned though. No confirmation of Pokemon Gyms yet or more characters. Maybe the Chinese leaker is right? 🙁 But anyways, aside from that, I love the other four new Pokemon. Especially Mudsdale. <3
Gyms are rarely shown early though.
Usually only the first Gym Leader is revealed before the games release.
Give it time.
Nothing wrong with no gyms. Innovation is needed sometimes, to keep things alive and appealing.
I like the idea of no gyms.
Pokemon games all have a standard format and no gyms will shake things up.
But I don’t want that rumor to be true since I hate the starter evos
Okay, there’s gotta be like 150 pokemon in this region…. they’ve revealed so many <3 now onto dark types please 🙂 also I'm sure wimpod will evolve into a giant isopod. Right now I think it takes inspiration from a sea roach.
dark and ice are both needed right now :3
Maybe we’ll get new combos for them since they’ve revealed a bunch for other types.
I honestly hope so
OMG! I love Wimpod’s design too. Second favorite next to Mudsdale. I know that it will evolve at least once. It just looks like one of those Pokemon that has that potential.
Bug/water is a combo I asked for since surskit is super disappointing 😀
Or horseshoe crab. 😀
To me, it looks like a mix beta horseshoe crab and an isopod (general)
Yeah I got that feeling too
Now my annual thing when new pokemon are revealed so what are your favorites from best to worst their are 25! Here’s mine
1. Popplio
2. Komala
3. Mimikyu
4. Bounsweet
5. Salandit
6. Mudsdale
7. Comfey
8. Togedemaru
9. Rockruff
10. Rowlet
11. Yungoos
12. Whimpod
13. Charjabug
14. Cutiefly
15. Pikipek
16. Drampa
17. Beware
18. Lunala
19. Litten
20. Grubbin
21. Vikavolt
22. Solgaleo
23. Magearna
24. Tapu Koko
25. Bruxish
What are your favs.?
I’m quite surprised Vikavolt and Tapu Koko are way down below hahaha
Well I like them all just if i placed them its that excluding Bruxish it kinda deserves it
Real talk though, can we just appreciate and laugh at how funny it is when Mimikyu’s pika disguise just dies and becomes limp when it gets hit??? Lmaoo
It doesn’t die its disguise just doesn’t take any more hits for it
Built-in Substitute ftw.
Teach it substitute so it can have a substitute within a substitute
I’m really glad we’re getting constant Relevant Information
I like all the designs and I love how Gamefreak is giving everything unique abilities.
But aside from Pokemon, we haven’t gotten any info at all. No gym leaders, city names, Villain team details,What the bracelets do,mega evolution etc
I wonder why they’re so quiet about other things
Isn’t the next CoroCoro supposed to focus on the other islands? Maybe we’ll learn some stuff then…
Maybe they have so many pokemon, they gotta introduce them first then finally review a story
I got a question: I wonder what Bounsweet,Comfey,Wimpod,Mudsdale,Bewear And Mimikyu Will evolve into?
I’m getting nervous bewear won’t evolve 🙁
bewear is pretty much the same size as the other bear in the video. I guess bewear is this generation’s ursaring so… i think it has a prevo
I’ll take that over no evolving at all…but I still want an evo :/
Maybe a pre evo? Like all the other bears (debatable)
Probably….it better adorable
I doubt Bewear, Mudsdale and Mimikyu will be recieving evos tbh
maybe a preevo for Mudsdale
4 more NEW abilities 😀
Rare pokemon indeed
Just noticed, when they first show Mimikyu the background has tombstones.
Ghost-type indeed.
Those tombstones can be found on the second island, just to the right of the town that has the lighthouse 🙂
yeah and in the japanese video he is in an old abandoned pre-school
Yup. That scenery was even more fitting for Mimikyu.
someone needs to draw Mimikyu wearing a flower ring made by Comfey. gahd they’re so cute
I can think of so many good names for Mudsdale right now.
Big Mac
Sparta
Clay
Artemis
Man O’ War
Red Rum (or Redrum)
The last two names were from notable horse in history.
Troubleshoes Clyde….
i think these are great! if Rowlet really becomes an archer i think Artemis would be great for it. or Artemia if you know Bravely Default lol
My son watched Tangled last night so I’m going to name my Maximus
Bullseye definitely, Woody would be proud
Maybe Shadowmere or Epona
<3 hell yas
OMG how did i not think Epona!!!
Always gotta think of Epona 🙂
The Sun/Moon meta-game is going to be on fire come this November! These abilities, Synchro, and other implementations – with older Pokemon bound to receive some as a second or HA – are going to bring the biggest meta-game change since Mega-Evolution. Hopefully it won’t be the same 12 Pokemon in every team and there’s more diversity since that seems to be the route Pokemon is going for.
