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
Everyone ready for their sea Cucumber Pokemon?!?!?!? I bet it’s gross looking (in a good way lol) hahaha
Does that mean…. we’re gonna get a pearl fish? xD does anyone know of what I’m referring to? Please say yes
Inb4 Sinnoh variants in the remakes. :p
UNOVA VARIANTS
A COFAGRIGUS WITHOUT THE SARCOFAGUS YO YOOOOOOO
Wonder how they will put this into the anime. Now that no gyms seems all but confirmed, I’m curious to know how this will turn out for Ash.
When you put it that way, I wonder if he’ll catch an Alola variant of a pokemon he’s never had or one he’s caught before.
Wins the Kalos league and gets an invitation to participate in the Alola Island challenges, something like that I hope will happen.
Generally he’s not very good at winning the leagues.
I’m guessing it’ll be like the Orange Archipelago? Weren’t there trials in that too, where you had to do out-of-battle challenges.
No the Orange Islands had gym leaders
Just a lot more filler episodes! Lol ^^
I wonder if they call them “Alolan Ninetales” and “Alolan Exeggutor” in the games?
I think, similar to Delta pokemon, there might be a symbol by their name.
Yes, Delta, I was trying to remember what that was called! I’ve wanted to see that concept in the games for a very long time.
Gotta ask, what is a Delta pokemon?
I think I’m going to faint…..they’re just going to rehash old Pokemon with different skins…..avoiding actually making new Pokemon
They made like 5 forms
That we know of.
It’s niche species evolution. There’s scientific reasoning behind it, rather than the dark magic that is Mega Evolution.
I totally understand….but I dooooont like iiiiiiiiiiit
Alright I’ll just be sitting in the corner petting my fabulous new ninetails 😛
megas are totally dark indeed
Dont think these Alola formes count as new Pokemon tbh
I will be back later, this is too much to take in right now need to procces it in mah small dumb brain
We await your return
Uh-oh. I just realized something. The Alola forms, like mega evolution, might take up new Pokemon spots, which will mean another gen with few new Pokemon.
Sadly that’s what I was thinking too
Well, bc its real now, the leaker did mention that there are more pokemon in Alola, and the chinese leaker said that there will be 100 whom is also real. So worry not 😉

Hey at least ninetails is majestic.
I’d say fewer, but not as few as Kalos. Possibly something around Johto’s amount?
I’m just over here like ‘New pokes yay’
I don’t care much for how many anyways 🙂 (although more is better xD)
“Its pastel coloration has a cute look, so this Pokémon is often used as a design motif for clothing and accessories” Minior clothing confirmed pretty much 😛
I just imagine Minior being like ‘I AM FABULOUS’
I dint understand totem Pokemon or the new gym system? Is there less battling? What?!
From what I understand totem Pokemon are a bit stronger than regular Pokemon, and they can call another Pokemon, making it 1 v. 2. The new “gyms” system appears to be Trial Captain with a task instead of a battle, Kahuna with a regular battle, Trial Captain, Kahuna, etc etc, totaling to 8 “trainers”.
I hope that the trial leaders battle as well as give a task… I mean why else would they give them type specialities ?
Minior using Power Gem… could this be our Rock-type special attacker? Finally?
I didn’t wanna think Megas are gone but.. Alola variants are starting to make me think otherwise
Unrevealed Pokemon????? Down by the bottom of Executor
That’s its little 4th head thing
Oh crap…..you’re right hahahahahah
Thats (and I pray it is) is his tail with a head.
From 1997. Stay woke.
They been planning this FOREVER!!!!
it was there in front of our eyes all the time!
On a sidenote: The Arceus event started for ORAS/XY
Ironically I was looking at that prior to the video.
It means leaving the house though ; n ;
“It’s a jungle out there.”
Maybe the environment effects which forme of Pokemon you get? Like for example you find Snow Vulpix in colder areas, while you find regular Vulpix in warmer climates.
Kiawe is a captain whose expertise is in Fire-type Pokémon. Together with his Marowak, he studies the traditional dances that have been passed down in the Alola region.
Marowak Fire…… *Pukes*
Sounds like a potential Fire/Fighting to me…yay…
My brain hurts……. I don’t like Alolan Variants of Pokemon, now people will start barking Alolan this will be that type and this and that…….oi vey
Most will be ppl saying “this thing that makes no sense as a fairy will should have a fairy alolan variant” ugh
Well obviously this mechanic won’t carry over to Gen 8, so you can personally be happy about that. Although I guess people will transfer Alola Forms to those games.
The game differentiating itself from the others by having no gyms is really interesting.
I want this game.
Also I want litten to become fire/dark
I think this could be good for the series. It’s different so while playing it won’t be as predictable. Something different will be super fun!!!
I wonder how all this will affect Gen 4 remakes
NEEDED
*If there are any
Doesn’t the whole regional variant idea sound a lot like Shellos East and West Sea?
Yes it does and I never understood why it never got new forms after its pokedex said it changes forms base on which region it is in
Move Forward with Poké Ride
One aspect of the culture in the Alola region is something known as Poké Ride, in which certain Pokémon help people get to places they wouldn’t be able to reach by using human strength alone. These Pokémon don’t join your team, but you can call on them anytime to receive their help. This practice is typical of the way of life in Alola, where humans and Pokémon are so closely bound together.
I love that we seem to finally be moving away from HM moves. However I wish that if we had these Pokemon on our party, we could ride them. It’s less fun to ride some random Pokemon :/
Hey, remember when Sugimori said that he wanted to return to Gen 1’s simple designs? He sure wasn’t kidding!
My heart cannot take this. I just woke up and have seen the video multiple times yet I’m still unable to comprehend what the hell is going on… Pokemon just proved every single hater wrong by changing its core formulas and has taken a huge leap towards truly making changes and adding excitement!
THat’s definitely what I think. A lot of people were wanting at least some change to the core formulas, and they definitely listened for sure <3
Makes things interesting for sure ^^
Seems like GameFreak are trying their hardest to redeem themselves after X/Y 🙂
Mallow’s description mentions that she loves cooking….Guess that means no Brock this next season either …….lol
GUYS GET THIS.
HOW ABOUT
A WATER/FAIRY ALOLAN RHYPERIOR
Hi I’m here for the show..
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Earthen is gonna love this <3
Oh god Earthen is coming for you!!!
IT CAN ACTUALLY HAPPEN TOO. YOU ABSOLUTE MADMAN.
Oh yeah, wasn’t that part of a leak a while ago?
Along with the Final starter evos!
I do think they will only use this for the gen 1… I guess?
And this is what I was dreading…
Why can’t people be responsible and think these things through? ; n ;
+1 for picking a gen 4 instead of a gen 1 though (even if it’s evolved from a gen 1).
I can’t help but imagining, that all the genwunners who started playing Pokemon Go pick up Sun and Moon to try Pokemon out again. They catch their favorite Gen 1 mons (especially Exeggcute) and then they evolve. And they’re like “what is THAT thing??”
I’d think they die on the inside xD
And go on the Internet to rant how Pokemon is dying, has no new ideas, and they ruined the Gen 1 mons xD
My brother right now. -_-
Aw, I’m sorry D:
I’m about to see my older bro too (he played until Emerald then stop because it was so repetitive) so I dunno how he’ll react if he finds out.
….actually, I’d think he might like the changes. Might get back into Pokemon now maybe…..hmmm…at least worth mentioning ^^
Exeggutor the only thing I disagree with right now. Im totally down with they did to vulpix and sandshrew
Considering Z-moves require pokemon to hold an item to pull off, I’m starting to think Mega-Evo is gone. But that’s weird considering only two gens of starters got them and only one Gen V. Plus, since there’s only one Z-move per type, they seem like a generic/silly concept to me. But what about Ash-Greninja? Is it a strange Mega Evo? A Synchro Evo? An Alola-Variant? An Anime-exclusive form? What? What!?!?
They don’t have to be gone. They will likely be put on the back burner, but I can’t see them going away completely. I imagine they’ll be modified sort of.
Hopefully, they really grew on me =/
Megas were an extremely succesful and popular formula. Would be strange if GF decides to remove them so soon.
It’s a reason to make toys
I believe you xD
