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
SANDSLASH ICE/STEEL IS A MUST HAVE!
Ughhhhhhhhh I swear The originals better be better then these knock offs
You’ll be 2x-ing this Sandshrew wannabe at least.
Edit: Fixed.
Totally it will eat Flamethrowers……*tear*
I’m super excited now!!! I’m so glad they are trying something a little different this time around. They may go back to the typical stuff again some day, but this will make things so much more interesting and exciting!! Anyone got a complete list of all the leaks now that we have confirmation?

From Green, below.
Yungoos based on donald trump confirmed
OMG!!!!! Most people were just joking about Yungoos’ resemblance, but this…THIS!!!! It incredible hahahaha
Is it really based on him?
Could be. It certainly looks A LOT like him hahaha
I really hope he’s not elected now or he’ll try to get pokemon banned. We’ll have speakeasy’s for battling xD
I like how it has strong jaw as an ability, like yeah, of course he would, its gotta be strong from talking all the BS
He bans it He has me and my Pokemon to deal with
I was going to say last night that I predicted an Ice/Steel-type, but this is not what I had in mind. In a good way!
Mallow is in the leaked evo pics. So that definitely means Litten is off limits to me, no matter how cute it might be.
Hey, at least its not fighting type if these rumors are now real.
I want to kill it
aw be nice to the wrestler kitty :3 (I respect your opinion though) I didn’t do anything :3
Aw be nice to the Wrestler Tiger.. Its no it’s fault that it was drawn that way (I respect and understand your opinion though)
I just wanted Sun/Moon to be leaked, guys. ;~; I’m happy with the new information (DRAGON EXEGGCUTOR)) but still.
*Not be leaked
Dragon exegutor makes 0 sense i wanted my first grass/dragon to be something cool looking not a derpy palm tree
It’s based off a dragon tree I think, but yeah I would have liked original typing a to not come from new forms but I like it.
Well Sceptile don’t count?
Oh right lel i dont use that mega but i meant like a full time dragon/grass type
Megan’s NEVER count
So Z moves are major BS!
Except the Z moves, love all the revealed so far.
Wonder how further generations will look like considering Gymleaders being out apparently.
They seem very unecessary to me
Totally unnecessary.
The Trials and Kahuna thing fit Alola, so I dunno if no Gym will be permanent.
I mean, it doesn’t make sense if another future region, let’s jsut say based on Germany, do a trial and kahuna thing.
It is risky play cause with Alola it works, and I doubt they will bring the old concept back.
I am happy about them trying to innovate but we`ll see how it looks down the line.
I think they will bring back Gyms, that this is a temporary, only Alola-thing, but we’ll see 🙂
It really doesn’t matter to me, because I think the games will be enjoyable regardless.
It seems like GF listened, since I know a good amount of people wanted some of the more formulaic parts of Pokemon to be revamped and changed.
As expected, they’ve revealed Alola’s equivalent of Mega Evolution. It’s infinitely better and made my hype increase tenfold. They better not drop the ball with this concept, I want to see more!
Still expect megas to return tbf
I’m…what do they say on Tumblr? I can’t even lol so will ninetales not be Fire anymore for only in Alola? I love the design, but that bullet punch is going to suck hahah
There’s still Vulpix but only in ice type
Triggered?
I’m not mad I’m just like in a whoa-like state. Idk how to feel yet haha. I have to let it marinade for a bit
Ah no, I think that’s what they say on Tumblr 😛
Oh haha I didn’t know
Diancie has bullet punch problems too, but look at how good it is…
That’s true; it’s all about the team
Tell that to the Mega Scizors
Everything great has to have a counter, otherwise it’ll be uber, right?
I’ll just switch in my drought Nineta- oh wait
My Vulpix turns to Ice! I finally have my ice fox!!! So happy. Also, does it seems like there are no gyms?
I feel like this is some weird dream lol. Like I’ll wake up and say ‘guys, you’ll never guess what I dreamed! Exeggutor turned into a dragon with a long neck, the starters turned out to be real, and gym leaders are gone! Also you now have to perform a dance move to unleash your Pokemon’s full potential!’
Z-moves: You sell your soul to Zygarde and it gives you devilish powers in exchange for a silly dance..
HEH HEH HEH.
Mabuhay shuffle activate!

OMG I’M SO PUMPED!!!
THIS NEW POKÉMON FORMS ARE THE BEST PIECE OF INFORMATION EVER SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF S&M!!!
Oh and the Chinese leaks about no gyms….can we believe the guy?
Yes. Leaked evo are true. No gyms is true. So yeah, he was right!
I get Robin Hood yes!
I truly hope the Alola variants have their own Dex numbers. I sort my PC by Dex number, so if I have 2 different Sandshrew, that’ll just make things inconvenient.
Probably a special section in the Pokedex
Well, the rules of competitive wont let you have pokemon of the same dex. Number in a single team, so I think they’ll prevent using both variants of the same pokemon by giving them the same number, so you’ll have to find another way to arrange your boxes.
The fact that the Ice/Steel Sandshrew’s name is still SANDshrew bothers me
In Japan, Sandshrew is called “Sando” and Sandslash is “Sandopan”. Unless those names have ice-related connotations, they would come off as weird there too.
But that’s what nicknames are for!
Yeah these are the parts that make NO since.
I’m loving that the trial leaders seem to be prevalent outside of their “gym” too! This is especially seen in the Japanese trailer.
Wonder how Alola forms work. Like if I transfer an old Ninetails, will it turn into ice/fairy? Or does it only count for Vulpix born/caught on Alola soil?
What about breeding both types? Which baby will it be?
probably the same as the female, they are probably coded as separate pokemon in the game
Imagine the other ability being passed down though haha ice ninetales with drought
Snow Warning…
Old ones stay the same I presume
Im thinking item or only being caught in Alola.
Nope, the old Vulpix will remain an old Vulpix. They coexist because they’re niche species of the same Pokemon!
Maybe it works similar to those rocks you use to evolve Eevee. We’d have to be in the snowy area with Vulpix/Ninetales for them to change formes.
I think it will only apply to ninetails caught in alola, like kind of different species that are related.
Holy crap this update, (almost) all my dreams came true. Minior the meteor pokemon? That wonderful little dude has a guaranteed spot on my team. Bird of paradise pokemon? I’m sold. Flower mantis pokemon? yeeessss. Yungoose evo? Now he looks even more like donald trump. Only thing I’m sad about is that we can’t ride on our own pokemon 🙁 But hey all this great stuff makes up for it.
Can anyone get the Ninetails page on the official site to load? I keep getting an error, but not with any other Pokemon.
Nope./….
Oh wow and the leaks even talk about Oricorio too!!! Things are definitely coming together people lol
Link please ^^
It’s down below, but here it is again lol

Thx!
So basically, someone got a job at Gamefreak just to get leaks out to the people and gave no fucks about losing their job. They had to get word out to the people asap! (My theory xDD)
Basically hahahaha
I want to be that guy.
Nah, jk, but this person is a bamf if that’s what happened xD
I guess forms solves the issue of ever-increasing number of Pokemon by cutting down on new Pokemon and just giving new forms of older, already existing mons
I personally don’t mind this at all. It’s much better than megas in my opinion.
The numbers are just numbers. Remembering how many alternate forms a pokemon has still takes up brain space. It’s like if Plusle and Minun were different forms of the same pokemon.
Oh yeah, and the 4chan leaks about no gyms and the leaked evos turned out legit. Shout out to those who said it was bollocks!
I wonder how 4chan is taking all this…
http://neutralgroundnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Shitstorm-coming.png
“GET FUCKED DENIALFAGS” – a 4chan anon.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen them freak out this much…
I WANTED it to be bollocks.
Same
This is why I stay neutral and wait for official word to deny or accept anything <3 🙂
You know, this is the gen Tierno is supposed to be introduced.
I bet he’s sad, sitting there in Kalos reading about these Dancing birds…
ON THE OTHER HAND… look at how awesome this is gonna be in doubles or triples. Are we ready for dancing teams? Quiver Dance buffing two Pokemon at once?
If your up against two dancing birds in a double battle u ded. Double quiver dance.
Actually no, there’ll be Species Clause in Battle Maison and online. 🙁
It’s more like Volcarona + Oricoro form of your choice. (Mine is Electric.)
Sure you have a Rock Slide weakness, but nothing’s perfect.
Lessee, the birds, Ludicolo, Bellossom… Who am I forgetting? I’m down with making Tierno proud =P
Yeah, he’s liking dancing, but swords dance and crawdaunt are kind of the boringest combination. 😀
There’s nothing to say he won’t make a return.
It would be neat if he turned up as a Kahuna and it turned out he was actually from Alola and never mentioned it during X & Y.
“My favorite Pokemon is Alakazam”
“Mega, Normal or Alola variant?”
