New Pokémon have been revealed for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS games Pokémon Sun & Moon!
- Oricorio is a bird Pokémon which has multiple styles which are different types Fire/Electric/Psychic/Ghost paired with Flying. The different styles can be found on different islands. It knows a special attack Revelation Dance and the type the attack is matches the style. It has the new ability Dancer which copies dance-based moves such as Quiver Dance.
- Minior is a Rock/Flying type Pokémon with the ability Shields Down. Its core varies in color
- Gumshoos is the evolution of Yungoos
- Fomantis and its evolution Lurantis are new Grass Pokémon. They can learn the new attack Solar Blade.
- Mudbray is the pre-evolution of Mudsdale
Alola Forms have been revealed! These are special versions of older generation Pokémon!
- Alolan Exeggutor is now Grass/Dragon
- Alolan Vulpix is Ice and its evolution Alolan Ninetails is Ice/Fairy with ability Snow Cloak
- Alolan Sandshrew and its evolution Alolan Sandslash are Ice/Steel
Other new features of the games have been revealed!
- Poké Ride is a new transportation method and allows you to use Pokémon to travel. These Pokémon do not join your team and can be called on anywhere. Charizard, Mudsdale, Sharpedo, Tauros and more are shown as examples
- The gym system seems to have been replaced with the island challenge. Trial captains will challenge you and specialize in certain types. They seem to have tasks which may or may not also be accompanied by battles. Each island has a Kahuna, or final leader, which must be beaten and also a totem Pokémon
- Z-Moves have been revealed as extra special attacks. Pikachu can learn Gigavolt Havoc. These powerful attacks can only be used once per battle. Each type has a different Z-Move.

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Request-a-Trade
I’m down with the new “adapted to Alola” concept, more realistic and breathes fresh air into old pokes ^-^
vulpix and sandshrew are also one of my faves, so I think it’s fun to see them diverent
Cant wait to see others, hope there’s a Kingler variation
Soo.. I probably will be making a gen 1 alola version team xD. Still look way better than the new ones
What’s wrong with other generations?
Nothing much. Gen1 is superior imo. and I think only gen 1 pokemon will recieve alolan versions, to celebrate the franchise’s 20th birthday
Celebrating the 20th shouldn’t be about just celebrating gen 1, they should give alolan forms to pokemon from all generations. (And personally I think gen 1 is one of the less interesting generations)
So no gyms are confirmed? That hurts my heart a bit.
Don’t be so down. We have four trails and likely four kahunas! It’s basically like gyms!
That’s definitely what I think. It’s not exactly equal to Gyms, but it’s our new take on Gyms in Alola. It makes sense for it <3
O well that might be cool…just have one of them be dark 🙁
Yeah it reminds me of Colosseum’s in XD: Gale of Darkness, my number 1 favorite home console Pokemon title still.
Personally I’m excited. It’s a fresh change.
Z-Moves and Alola Forms are SO much better than Megas and you know it. At least I know it.
Gonna agree with that point on Alola forms, at least comparing my initial reactions to both, though I do love megas now. Z-moves though I’m just completely indifferent to.
Not gonna lie, as weird as the Alola forms are (since it was something I brushed off earlier) that ice Vulpix was my fave, very majestic.
My fave of the new mons is the grass mantis one, loved it and it’s evo (defininitely something to consider) Oriocorio is very interested <3 Mudbray is adorable I need it xD
Services for riding Pokemon hmmm…
Mallow is my fave of the trail captains <3
Toten Pokemon at the end of the trail? Are they summoned by the Tapus, I wonder?
And it seems like the trails and the Kahunas are our 'Gym' replacement, obvious I know, but just thought it needed to be said. I wonder who the other Kahunas are <3
AND ACTUALLY IT CONFIRMS HALA IS HAU'S GRANDFATHER, I mean we speculated it and agreed it was a most likely thing, but they've clarified it now
And Z-moves are what I expected them to be after I saw them, still look awesome <3
Well that…wasn’t quite what I was expecting.. I mean, I love the idea of ice ninetales and sandzlash, but not what I expected by any means haha. Z moves…kinda a let down :/
I-i i’m so confused right now…
So is that rumor about the water arcanine real
which rumor?
I think it was one of the Chinese rumor stating that new form of old Pokemo were gonna appear like water type arcanine
Would be awesome
Apparently so! I hadn’t heard about these rumors before so I was completely blindsided…
So Fighting Abra, here we come xD

READ!!!!!

The move Earthquake looks beast!
Bulldoze
MY FAVOURITE POKEMON WITH A GLORIOUS NEW FORM AND PARTLY MY FAVOURITE TYPE ( Fairy!) ice ninetales is my new fave!!!!!!!
Just hope that it’s typing doesn’t make it suck in battle…. But who cares I mean look at it! These games are complicated sure but will be SO AMAZING OH MY GOD
Yay, soaring!
Hello Poké Ride, goodbye HMs =)
http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/aug-1-ride/
Though the downside is you don’t use your own Pokemon, and it’s still limited to “certain” ones
It’s the evolution of soaring Latios/as
I find it particularly useful so we don’t have undeletable moves anymore, which cannot be deleted until you reach a certain city far in the game…
So basically, Po-ké-Watch? Tell me I’m not the only one that gets the Yo-Kai vibes from Sun and Moon. I’m down with it, it’s just.. such a huge change to the franchise that’s it’s kinda hard to take it all in y’know
NO GYM LEADERS!!
“Some Pokémon have adapted to the distinctive microclimates of the Alola region, taking on different forms than they have in other regions. These Pokémon are called regional variants. Taking root in the Alola region, they live like native Pokémon. Regional variant Pokémon can have different appearances and types, and their ways of living can also differ from that of the forms previously known.”
I never knew how much I wanted this until right now.
Same <3
yes now we can make a team of gen 1 again, only updated, so that we have a fire kingler and water arcanine.. xD
This will be very interesting and was there a rumor about Growlithe being water?
yes in a ‘leak’ it was said yes, abra line fighting etc
But it also listed Ninetails as Fire which turned out false, so take it with a pinch of salt.
I been wanted them to do this since orange island was a thing in the anime.FINALLY!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It’s uncanny. 100% confirmed, everyone. I have no idea how it happened, but it did.
Well goodbye litten hello rowlett
That’s it..that’s the straw to break the calls back for me. I’m taking these starters as real
Well Litten will my pick….
Yo man I’m so PUMPED!!!!
I’m ready to switch from Rowlet to Popplio now 😀
this basically confirms it then, thank goodness, I grew to love that goddess of a mermaid 🙂
Welp, there’s my confirmation that me being neutral wanted.
At least I’m more used to Litten’s evo now, I jsut don’t want it to be Fighting type
Fire/Dark.
Fire/Dark
Grass/Flying
Water/Psychic
Where are people seeing this? :s
Nah that’s my hope if they are real
Its Water/Fairy.
I’d rather it not
OH yeah hahahaa.
oh no.
they better than ur avatar at least.
Hahaha, fair enough f you think that
Eh… I like Litten the same seeing as it’s basically confirmed.. so #WRESTLERCAT and #SIRENSEALLION are on my alola team..
I can finally name a Pokémon El Tigre and it be legit lol I miss that show
And its Fire/Dark im soooo excited!
Unconfirmed
I still believe that Serena will join Ash on his next adventure.
So no gyms, BUT the Chinese rumor states that “There will be no traditional Gyms and no Pokémon League in Alola. Your goal is to actually create one. After you do, an Elite 4 will appear which are the leaders of each island.”
We already know the leaders of each island are fought in Grand Trials prior to going to the next island (from the website here http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/the-rite-of-the-island-challenge/). Thus, we will not be fighting the leaders of each island after, but during our adventure. This helps actually discredit part of the rumor.
Or maybe you make the gyms after the challenges? Idk
IM FREAKING OUT
ME TOO!
ME THREE!
ME FOUR
The Alole forme of Executor looks silly btw
Its head is literally in the clouds
Why is it a Grass/Dragon
Cuz… Brontosaurus? Idk
I just don’t understand the dragon typing…..
Cause it’s awesome
It’s a giraffe-plant now.
Wish it was its Mega.
Huh. This is weird. They’re making a Z ring toy.
When a player uses a Z-Move in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, his or her real-life Z-Ring will light up, vibrate, and play sounds to go along with the video and sounds in the game. With this new experience, players will feel the force of these overwhelming Z-Moves with even more realism! Please look forward to more details about the Z-Ring to come from Tomy International.
NINETALES ICE/FAIRY!!!
Love!
Hate
Gonna need like 3.45 years to process this information
Great sun and moon got leaked 5 months before release good job game freak you broke X and Ys record
The picture down there is enough evidence but…those leaked starters were real. Unbelievable, this will go down in record books as the earliest and most significant leak ever.
Startergate?
Didn’t doubt them for a second. They were too inspired and random to be fakes. An archer, mermaid and a wrestler? Nothing about Popplio and Litten points to being a Siren or Wrestler.
Ok.
Now I have to name gumshoos trump
