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’m extremely glad that they kept Mimikyu. I also really like Mudsdale. The others were just generic cute mons IMO.
Alright I think I’m gonna take a walk the rain finally knocked off this dreaded humidity
Also my iPad needs charging
Later jerkwads
Isn’t Bewear’s ability just a weakened version of Fur Coat?
Both of them Halve damage from direct Contact Attacks. But Fluffy adds a fire type weakness as well
Well special attack contact moves do exist…
So it isn’t strictly worse.
Just switch in something with thick fat, flash fire, or resists
OH MY GOD ITS NAME IS BEWEAR THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY
Bounsweet is adorable. It is like what I wish Cherrim was.
If we dont have to breed to get perfect IVs and EVs anymore I will be so happy. I can breed shinies without worrying about IVs
Tournament mode also looks awesome.
Interesting that after Mimikyu’s disguise ability activated, it fell over then it cut off. Wonder if it’s going to reveal its true adorable self.
My team so far is
Popplio3
PikiPek
Mimikyu
Bounsweet
Idk about this tourney mode, i love the thought of it because i love tournaments. But i just look at smash and how it handled tourney mode so badly i doubt this will be any better. Maybe they will do better.
I don’t think it’d be hard to beat smash 4’s tourney mode
Lol nintendo has a habit of not knowing how to handle things that have to do with online.
Highhorse Power? this is the first move based on animal …..I remember someone translate move that appeared in Litten evolution rumor as a tiger fist ….the change is coming. http://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/highhorsepower.jpg
I feel like it will be a high power high recoil ground type move
Man a lot of people are gonna be using this thing
Crabhammer. xD
Okay but will Super training be back too? These are important questions.
I’m sure it will, otherwise, what’s the point in hyper training?
Even though Bounsweet is pure Grass type now, that doesn’t rule out a possible future evolution being Grass/Fairy. To me, it looks like it, along with Wimpod, will evolve at least once. Mudsdale might have a pre-evolution or be standalone. And I think that Comfey is our object Pokemon of the Generation and will be standalone like Klefki was in Generation 6.
Maybe it can turn into Helicopterand become flying type. All these bouncing and spinning stuff reminds me Hoppip line.
catching a wimpod will be a pain in the butt huh
Get yourself one of these!

Gotta go fast!
the fact that we actually can see IVs now? i- im such a happy competitive player. This gen is really doing #that with all this abilities and mechanics for competitive
So all I’m seeing on social media are the “pokemon go fans” dissing on these new pokemon and I just want to slap them back to not liking pokemon… I just can’t wait for these fake fans to stop playing so the real fans can enjoy the franchise….
If Wimpod evolves (or not) and keeps Wimp Out, it’ll be interesting to use as a scout.
Hmm, maybe it’ll get super confident as it evolves and have an ability that forces the opponent to switch, that’d be amusing.
Alright 😀 Glad that I awoke to some surprise news! <3
I love Wimpod, es my fav out of the 'new' bunch (excluding Bewear and Mimikyu since we've seen them before), I love the fact it is so based on a horseshoe crab and its typing makes sense and its behavior I just so love it <3 definitely a contender for a spot on one of my teams
Mudsdale is my second fav as I really like horses and its design and personality is great 🙂 I would get rid of the long parts of the mane tha t look like dreadlocks but that's just me
Bounsweet and Comfrey look really cute, I really like the lei part of Comfrey, I've always wondered if leis would be incorporated in Alola
Mimikyu is still awesome, love that background when you see it (cemetery :D) and even in-game I'm still not too fond of Bewear although I can respect the pun in its name
Hyper Training looks cool and yeah I think that's it 😀
I dont see the horseshoe crab in wimpod i see more of an trilobite or sea cockroach
It could be a combo of all of those, and there is some debate that they might be related due to their similarities 🙂
Assault Vest Mudsdale might be fun. Doesn’t look like it will evolve so Eviolite is out of the question.
If mudsale have good defense and hp it can be one of the best walls or tanks in the game
How are you guys pronouncing Comfey? Are you saying it like “comfy” or like “com-fay,” rhyming with lei?
com-fay, with a touch of british accent
I’d go with the latter, since it is a lei, so having a name that rhymes with lei makes sense
These names are too good for me xD
comfy but i am probably wrong
Kom fay
Or Kom fee
I am saying com-fay because it is a fairy so fay as in Fae lol
All the new pokemon: i love them all!!
bewear: https://m.popkey.co/97f23b/q0WYG.gif
Haha same
Bewear is so derpy I love that thing haha
Mimikyu is amazing!!
IKR!!
It has 3 immunities and double resists one type. It only has weaknesses against two types.
It can attack any type combination for neutral coverage except Fire/Dark and Steel/Normal. Also it’s ability disguise guarantees it will move at least once.
So apparently the lei in comfey isnt part of the pokemon, the pokemon is the green ball and that green ball picks flowers to create a lei, sort of how flabebe’s flower isnt part of flebebe itself
Well, I just learned about the move Rototiller; I had never heard of it before now. It makes me wonder how much else I don’t know about the games that dominate the majority of my life. :p
wat is Wimpod based on ?….I don’t remember the bug name in english.
Trilobyte?
yeah most likely.
Horseshoe crab 🙂
that’s should be Kabuto ……Horseshoe crab and horse pokemon that’s irony.
Yeah Kabuto is also a mix of horseshoe crab and trilobites, forgot about that, but I feel this one really captures those animals well with the typing, look, and personality.
Maybe Kabuto is more trilobite (hence why its a fossil) and this is more horseshoe crab, but who knows 🙂
As many of us speculated earlier, we believe that the name origin comes from an isopod (EDIT-or arthropod), but its design is based on a trilobite.
To be honest, the first thing I thought of was a silverfish. That’s what it looks like imo
Ummm its based on a “Horseshoe fish”. 😀

this is kabuto man.
Where was it revealed that Yungoos has one evolution? I know the statement surfaced shortly after E3, but I’ve never seen evidence- only what other people say.
remember how when you catch a pokemon you can see how many times it evolves? well when they catched yungoos there was a pokeball next to it
But they cut to the clip of the Rotom Dex, did they not? We couldn’t see Yungoos’s Dex entry.
ohh…. maybe i dont remember tbh
They cut to the clip right after the pokeball was shown so that you couldnt see Yungoos’s summary.
they did that at e3 but not when they showed it at other demo events
People are just assuming Yungooos will have an evolution, likely because it is the rodent of Alola, like Ratatta is to Kanto. Rodent Pokemon like this usually evolve at lest once.
I hate assuming though. Sure, Pokemon has a general formula, but it doesn’t have to be followed exactly, and the fanbase doesn’t know the creators’ intentions until they’re officially confirmed. 3 years ago we assumed that Fletchling would stay Normal/Flying because that’s just how it’s always been, but look where that got us.
When Masuda played the demo after E3 at a event (Can’t remember the name), people saw that it evolved once in the Pokedex. I dunno if anyone took a picture to prove it, but that’s where I heard it from 🙂
Ah, ok. Thank you!
im lowkey happy that i finally got my elements trio for the game with Rowlett, Wimpod and Salandrit
Still missing water for me. I’m considering using Kingdra if it is in the game, because it’s one of my favorites that I never really use. Though I try to use only new mons.
Haha, yeah, I’m just the same, it’s great to have the foundation at last. 😛
How long do you think it’s gonna take the Bronies to get ahold of Mudsdale and completely ruin it?
The prelude to the deluge of (trashy) fan art that will come

Plz no ;-;
I’ll give ’em a day. Two tops.
Not long knowing the artsy community
I dunno, there’s like only one known Clydesdale for them to work with
So I say by the end of the day or maybe late Wednesday
Not long I’d say :/
