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!
Hyper Training is the best thing since… Um… Super Training.
My team can be perfect in every way now :’)
Can’t change natures.
Oh have the natures due to SRs so I’m not worried about that at all
Hello, Gattaca! Welcome to the Pokemon world, where [the equivalent of] eugenics and gene manipulation have taken control!
haha well done with this, but yeah i think we all strive for perfection in pokemon lol
Pokemon SM: GMO pokemon since November, 2016
I kind of called Mimikkyu’s ability :D! I said that it would probably act like a substitute and IT KIND OF DOES!
I absolutely adore Mimikyu but I still hope we get at least one more creepy ghost pokemon :3
Mudsdale weights twice as much as Snorlax? O_o
Well muscle weighs more than fat. Mudsdale is beefy as hell.
I didn’t expect Bewear to be so big.
I did. It just LOOKS big in Coro Coro when it broke A TREE TRUNK in half. In my head, that thing was standing at an easy 7′ at least.
It has to be 7 feet tall. According to Serebii Pangoro is 6’11 and that thing was standing at the same height if not slightly above.
I might just name this thing SCP-173 because of what it does to things. Hats off to you if you get the reference. 😉
I think the conversion of its height from Coro Coro. Was 6’10”
On the official site it states it’s height is at 6’11. I didn’t even think to check there earlier.
I knew it was around that height lol thanks

I can’t believe I didn’t think of this earlier

lol mudsdale better watch out for the grass knots lol.
Don’t remind me……
I had just looked up it info and saw how heavy it is. I’m sad.
2 thousand pounds and can pull 10 tons
I am more than qualified to ride this majestic beast
What it lacks in speed I can see makes up for in attack and a bit of bulk of both defenses. I’ll be super sad if its sp. def. is abysmal.
Yep……but imagine if it gets BULK UP OMG
first Turn Bulk Up, Hold Sitrus Berry, Gets hit and activates not only Stamina and restores health,
EARTHEN’S A GENUIS
Now if only it gets Blaze Kick. I mean earth and fire makes clay, so it kind of makes sense for it to learn it, or even Flame Charge.
One can hope.
:'( Leave Mudsdale alone. He a good horsey.
lol i love it honestly. also horsea is a good horsey.
But if they hit him with a Grass Knot he gets a useless defence boost.
um… lol when i said watch out i mean a ground type thats probably physically defensive and not specially defensive at 2 thousand pounds…i mean ohko so that boost won’t even happen
Can you get a defense boost when you’re dead?
You actually just made me think of something…
If you’re in a double battle, and you have a pokemon w/skill link that uses a multi-hit move [like double-slap] on it, would it get +5 defense in one turn?
oh no. sounds like whimsicott with beat up on terrakion…..
Only once I think
As @Luigi0301:disqus pointed out, using Beat Up w/Whimsicott on a Justified Terrakion raises its attack with each hit. So if Stamina works the same way Justified does, then it should work. Unless they change the mechanics in SM
yeah it just says raises by 1 level when hit with an attack no way will it not work. its like hitting a terrakion with 2 any dark attacks not just beat up, it always activates
Well every time you a a Gooey Goodra, it activates each hit.
All contact based abilities activate on each hit
Iron Barbs activates 5 times
Gooey activates 5 times
Weak Armour activates 5 times
Justified activates 5 times
I don’t see why this would be different
Works with the Atk buff with beat up + justified, so I don’t see why not?
Primal Groudon weigh’s 2204.4 lbs, and is the heaviest Pokemon up to date. why is Mudsdale extra heavy tho? :/
I can already foresee my Mudsdale’s Personality
Very stoic but quiet, but shows a great pride in pulling the heaviest payloads,
I freaking hope it gets a prevo, because if all goes right this would be my Ground Mono Main for Moon
I’m with you there. Mudsdale’s going to be a beast!
Also I’m digging its dreadlocks
hehe digging
Ground puns for days
To me, it looks like a clay figure of an artifact you may find in ancient Greece, hence the many Greek names below.
Ex mea sententia:
Bounsweet is an adorable little mangosteen, I love it!
Bewear’s English name, lol. He looks slightly better in game…
Mimikyu is adorable and amazing and I love it SO MUCH!!!
Comfey is ok… It’s just a mix of klefki and flebebe though….
Wimpod is odd… But I like it 🙂
Mudsdale is awesome! That’s all…
In conclusion this generations pokedex is shaping up to be a really fun set! I can’t wait to catch ’em all!
Wimpod is gonna be useless to fight in the wild unless you can take it out in one hit.
Also quick balls are the only way to catch it ..unless you have arena trap or something like that
Or put it to sleep?
That’s true, unless it works like roaming pokemon lol
It doesn’t. It shows that it’s ability triggers when it hits half health.
No I meant the fact that they can flee when asleep
But it only flees at less than half health. So if you just put it asleep and throw balls like I said, it won’t flee. You should be able to easily catch it at a low level with a Pokeball without damaging it if it’s asleep
lol just paralyze and try to catch. it won’t escape until at 50% hp
Block, Mean Eye, Arena Trap, Shadow Tag…
The abilities aren’t common and the moves are a waste of time to use during an in-game run.
If course depends on different players.
EARTHEN THEORY
if Mudsdale gets bulk up
Put a Sitrus berry or Weakness Policy
Bulk up the first turn, get hit by physical attack Stamina increases defense
Stomp the opponents into the dirt
Might get Work Up.
Since it’s used to pull heavy loads.
Work up is good but plenty of Pokemon can learn Bulk Up
I imagine Mimikyu will be more of a support pokemon in Gen 7 so it won’t be particularly useful in game, but be far more useful in competitive.
Unless it’s deceived me and it has some monstrous stats.
And Mimikyu and Bewear can be the best of friends because Bewear can’t kill Mimikyu with it’s hugs.
– Wimpod: I like the colors and overall design
– Mudsdale: Epic design resembling Greek sculptures and great hair-do with the dreadlocks
– Comfey: a B-Pokemon that seems to be a filler from XY
– Bounsweet: reminds me of Cherrim Overcast form and hopefully it gets an evolution akin to Swadloon –> Leavanny (one of my favorite, if not my favorite Grass lines)
has anyone seen any version exclusives? like can you see any of these being exclusive? I’m getting moon so mimikyu better be in moon
Bounsweet and Comfey give me version exclusive vibes.
oh ok. im eh with comfey. bounsweet i would like tho
Nevermind, I just realized Comfey isn’t part Grass… -_- GAMEFREAK WTF!
lol neither was flabebe
They must really hate the Grass/Fairy typing. -_-
i mean poison scares them lol, but whimsicott is great lol
KILL THAT BROKEN PIECE OF SHIT
IT IS BEYOND ANNOYING AND NEAR BROKEN
My theory is that neither of Flabébé or Comfey are part grass because the flower(s) are not part of the actual pokemon
I want to see art of Bewear hugging Mudsdale, and Mudsdale’s Stamina activates rapidly. (in the bg you see +1, +1, +1… on top of each other as Mudsdale is struggling)
Like a tug-o-war between Mudsdale’s Stamina ability, and Bewear’s supposed strength to break anything in two.
Bewear’s got this
Until Mudsdale learns Flame Charge
Bewear probably has wood hammer, which could maybe Ohko it, although unlikely
Not wood hammer
Just Hammer Arm
I mean it’s possible that it’ll learn it given the art.
It just shows how powerful its arms are
The only non Grass Pokemon learning it is Sudowoodo but that’s beyond understandable
Or Blaze Kick. >:D
Actually I just don’t think so
It’s legs are just coated in mud
I just don’t see it, maybe Wild Charge
Heat up mud and you get clay. It looks like a clay figurine.
But it wouldn’t have a way to heat it up
Uses argument that it’s covered in mud so it wouldn’t catch fire, goes on to suggest being covered in mud would give it an electric attack…lol
i bet you can ride mudsdale out of battle like tauros
Albeit slowly.
DEFENSIVE MUDSDALE HERE I COME PLEASE DON’T HAVE SHITTY STATS
i just realized that whoever said silver fish, its actually not a bad thought. its bug/water and the pod could come from hexapod since silver fish are insects
Also they live in moist and humid environments. Like wet towels.
Ewwww
yeah, but i still think based on the body of wimpod its an isopod
That’s what I think to. Silverfish are too long
also aren’t silverfish soft bodied? like a lot of bugs are? wimpod design just screams crustacean
Yes
Sea roach 😛 also an isopod
thats a type of woodlouse right? i said woodlouse earlier when whoever it was first mentioned silver fish lol
Possibly? They’re probably related in some way
I did say horseshoe crab earlier.
lol yeah i saw that but lol horseshoe crabs are neither isopods nor hexapods. they are merostomates which are chelicerates like spiders, (a chelicera is the mouth part of spiders)
I want the riding Pokemon to be apart of a chase scene with the villainous team: your player just hijacked one of the villainous team’s plans and thus has to make an escape. Your friends Lillie and Hau rally you to get on one of your Pokemon as you guys ride off followed by an angry mob of grunts.
Hyjakk
Electric/Steel
The Gnawing Pkm
NO! ENOUGH ELECTRIC/STEEL! I DONT WANT MY PRECIOUS ELECTRICS DEFILED BY STEEL!
togedemaru tho ;_;
But…….this is my Electrical Rodent
You mean you don’t want the epic steels defiled by electric type.
It’s a simple.mistake to make, but just thought I should correct you. 😉
IV training sounds interesting.
GUYS I SAW A LVL 20 ARCANINE IN THE NEW TRAILER!! I WANT MEGA ARCANINE!!
OMG I KNOW EARTHEN HAS THE RIGHTS TO ALL GROUND TYPES BUT MUDSDALE MUST BE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEAAAAH THIS MAKES ME SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!
I already called dibs days in advance
You didnt call dibs on a Horse Pokémon. ITS MINE!
Remember I said I reserved the rights of the first physically powerful Ground type
Yeah but I am a horse lover, so I win anyway.
inb4 Mudsdale has an attack stat of 10
Yeah not likely
20 is twice as likely cause it’s twice as much as 10
You must have passed math class with flying colours
Yep I got an A
Dont you mean the colors of the wind? ?? haha pocahontas reference sorry
Aww c’mon earthen im sure there are enough mudsdale for us in alola
No way
I’ve been patient so bug off
Hmm i guess thats fair but how would you know if im using it or not?
Not really you were begging for new ground types before.
And how long did it take for me to finally get one
“patient”
I’ve really been enjoying the battle backgrounds in this game! They all have so much more detail than the ones in gen 6 and they look great!
I know right! The region seems brimming with life and color! Love it! <3
I like the marketing tactic for Pokemon Sun/Moon so far. They’re giving us glimpses of the many new features available in Sun/Moon and distracting our minds with new batches of Pokemon revealed every month while keeping tight wraps on the story and villainous team. Plus, they’ve only revealed stage one or Pokemon that appear to be standalone, keeping their evolution a secret. Of course there are exceptions such as the Grubbin line and eventually the starters and Mudsdale and Bewear looking as though they have a pre-evolution.
I’m getting vibes from Gen 2, 3, and 6 in this game. But it feels like every other video has good mons or bad mons.
i don’t know about gen 3 and 6 vibes but i’m definitely getting gen 2 vibes
Thats pretty straightforward, since gen 7 is the spiritual succesor to Gold and Silver. Just like XY were to Red and Blue.
