The Chinese Rumor & Leaked Starter Evolutions Confirmed True + MORE

With the latest Pokémon Sun & Moon information, we can now say that the rumors seem to be true. Not only the Poké Riding, but at least with the leaked Starter Evolutions we can clearly see one of the Trial Captains in the art, and the final evolution of Litten is probably holding two of its middle evolutions.

4chan Rumor

For now these are going to be de-confirmed since a number of Pokémon listed appear not to be getting an Alolan form

  • The anime’s Ash-Greninja will appear in the game
  • Alolan Rattata & Raticate are Dark-type
  • Alolan Butterfree is Bug/Psychic
  • Alolan Abra, Kadabra & Alakazam are Fighting-type
  • Alolan Nidoking & Nidoqueen are Poison/Fighting-type
  • Alolan Growlithe & Arcanine are Water-type
  • Alolan Doduo & Dodrio are Fighting/Flying-type
  • The previous versions of Pokémon which have taken on new forms will only be accessible by bringing in from older games
  • Furfrou gets new styles
  • New cat Pokémon varies in type and appearance based on breeding
  • There is a new snowman Pokémon line with two stages and it is Ice/Ghost
  • Not to get hopes up, but there may be two final evolutions for each starter

Chinese Rumor

  • 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
  • The final starter evolutions will be an Archer, a Wrestler and a Siren
  • The diamond stones will be collectible throughout the region and act similarly to Mega Stones but not exactly
  • New Pokémon based on a dolphin, sea cucumber, snowman, mushroom and a rugby monkey are there
  • Rockruff’s evolution is a Werewolf
  • Mashadow, another copyrighted Pokémon name, has a very unique type combo

  1. I officially have all 720 available Pokemon in North America thank Arceus!!! And it’s very ironic that I needed him to complete it. lol

  2. I just had an interesting shower thought ?what if the rumor that ninetales would have a fire/fairy Alola form is still true. But it would be exclusive to sun and the ice/fairy would be exclusive to moon. I think some popular pokemon could gain more than just one Alola variant similar to how Mewtwo and Charizard gained two mega evolutions each. And just like what happened with mega charizard y and mega mewtwo y, you wouldn’t know about an alternate form because it wouldn’t be revealed until sometime in the future ☺

  3. Haven’t read all the comments but has anyone noticed that the ridable Pokemon seems like a potential way to get rid of hms since they can Ben called on at any time?!

    Reply
    • Exactly. I think that’s it for hm’s. I saw rock smash, rock climb(horizontally), surf and fly gone because of these pokemon. Sun and Moon are really changing things.

  4. Well that’s a coincidence! I just learned about Sophocles in college ? Aparently he was a big theatre guy in greece who decipted their daily lives and some philosophical questions (in this case I studied the Antigone, which talked about Law)

  5. Hey all! I’m new here and was so excited by all this news I just had to make an account and comment!

    While looking through all the news and rumors my creative juices started flowing. I came up with a sort of theory for how they can handle the elite four/champion without a league or gyms. And it has to do with the rumor that Blue, Lance, Zinnia, Chnthia, Looker, and AZ will all be in the game. They, with the exception of Looker, will act as an elite four of sorts and champion.

  6. So my yearning to capture a Rockruff has urged me to think of a sample list of Rockruff’s moves
    Tackle
    Sand Attack
    Rock Throw
    Odor Sleuth
    Howl
    Bite
    Endure
    Rock Polish
    Work Up
    Roar
    Rock Blast
    Crunch
    Stone Edge
    Play Rough

    Out of all Pokemon Rockruff I believe will be one that will be the center of my team, a Playful, loyal fighter who won’t back down an inch

      • My Charizard was Lax….and my very first Blaziken
        But as much as I like the extra Defense
        Adamant is best nature

      • I foresee that how I encounter mine is that it just randomly leaps out of the bushes and snags my food, and it actually begins to be affectionate but the moment it senses a battle it fights to its last breath

        Also my soon to be Mudbray is stubborn, and extremely territorial about mud and shown to be a freaking powerhouse and resourceful at using muddy battlefields to win (like splashing a wave of mud to block an attack and using the slipperiness to speed up)

          • Well that’s the mindset I like to project onto my games
            I never play a game like a game, I live the game and I become the game
            I put my mind in shoes of the player and envision if I was in there

    • I’m questioning who thought Rock/Dark was ever a good idea, cause that type is kinda trash.

      But hey, it has other evos so

  7. I can get behind Rowlet and Litten’s final evolution but there is something about Popplio’s that just doesn’t connect with me… It looks too different and it’s not because it seems very feminine. I don’t know, we will have to wait and see what types they all get and what the second evolution looks like. I’m thinking its Grass/Flying, Fire/Dark, Water/Paychic (if it is based on a siren, they sang songs to trick their prey into thinking they were something else, very psychic which is why I say that instead of Fairy).

    Reply
    • I’m emotionally torn
      I spent all this time fantasizing about having an adventure with Popplio but now if it’s going to end out that He-Whore
      I want Popplio but I want it to turn into Litten’s evo
      But I don’t want to pick Litten unless it evolves like super fast

      Reply
      • I don’t want them to evolve fast. That’s what happened in X & Y and it was lame. You had your final evolution starter long before the last gym leader.

        At the beginning I was Litten and Popplio all the way. If this is true, I don’t know. It had so much potential! But we will see I guess. Maybe it’ll be an awesome Pokemon.

        Reply
    • You don’t have to like everything. I do believe that Popplio’s final is Water/Fairy as it appears to be a beautiful siren. Plus, we could use another Water/Fairy type. We already got Bruxish, it doesn’t mean that we cannot get one. We don’t even know the type of the starters.

      Reply
    • The mythical aspect of a siren seems more likely to be labeled fairy. Like a fairy tale. Theyre enchanting. Not mind-controlling.

  8. It amazes me how many people actually come to this site. Commenters aside, the reaction counters show it and it’s like over 2000!

  9. As Zinnia is predicted to return to S/M, I really am wondering her role. We know after OR/AS she begun to journey the world. I’m not surprised she’s making her way to the allow region. Personally, I think that she will be giving you a Key Stone. I don’t know if she returned Maxie or Archie’s Key Stone after the events of the Delta Episode. So, she might have a spare Key Stone and demonstrate Mega Evolution to the player.

  10. I knew the Pokemon franchise needed a Mermaid/Siren Pokemon, but I didn’t know how it should look like. Then I saw Popplio’s final evolution and I thought: YES. Perfect design for it tbh. I guess the thing that throws people off is the fact that Popplio doesn’t seem the least bit feminine but I guess no one else can throw a curveball like Gamefreak can.

  11. So I don’t know about you guys, but I’m still in shock that we got actual leaks so early in the season! I mean we got the starters on May 10th and then less than a month later we technically got the final evolutions! What are the odds such a huge leak would happen? lol

  12. “• Not to get hopes up, but there may be two final evolutions for each starter”

    I keep wondering about this. If this is true, than Rowlet could still evolve into a Grass/Ground-type burrowing owl. Litten can evolve into a quadrupedal Fire-type BEAST, and Popplio could evolve into a more masculine looking version of its supposed siren-like final evolved form. This could be that connection that Rockruff has with the starter Pokémon. This might just make everyone happy.

    • Y’know what? I hate the idea of multiple starter evolutions as it messes with an established pattern in an impractical and uncalled for way, but if we got exactly those three alternate evos, I’d be completely behind the idea. Yay for 2 awesome Rowlet evos and half the others being at least sound in concept!

    • Hi there – firstly, hello everybody as I’m new here (but been following the comments and website for the past few years!!).
      To reply to Claus, I feel mixed about the split final evolutions, but it could potentially work especially with GF already trying out new things this gen. I know a few people have mentioned different genders, and it could work – Pyroar worked enough, and both female and male are quite distinct. Who knows.
      Bye

  14. Hey guys don’t go hard on this tall dude. Remember the 1997 promotion and the fact that they say it is his true form, exeggutor was propably meant to have a neck like this, but when they made a sprite back in the days a neck like this was a pain in the ass. Now we have the size difference in battle and he can finally come to his true glory. Agree? Xp
