The trailer for Pokémon Sun & Moon has been released early (which made me pause Nathan for You) and contains information we saw from the leaks earlier today! Here’s a recap:
- Team Skull is revealed along with its leader Guzma and Admin Plumeria
- New Pokémon Wishiwashi and Pyukumuku are shown in battle, both with interesting animations (Innards Out, which does damage based on Pyukumuku’s health before the final blow that KOs it!)
- The trailer reveals one brand-new Pokémon Morelull
- We finally see Alolan Meowth, Raichu & Marowak in action. It is heavily implied Pikachu & Cubone do not have Alola forms

Dat sea cucumber ability is crazy
It’s Aftermath 2.0, unless it damages half the max HP
Could be if the opponent wipes you out on full health you take them down with you (note the sea cucumber has just healed up to max HP before Hariyama attacks)
Alolan Raichu looks like a Greek God pet.
Some neat stuff revealed this week. Team Skull looks good.
Hopefully we will get more gameplay in future trailers, I’ve got enough Pokes.
So this trailer confirms that normal Cubone in Alola evolves into Alolan Marowak.
But if we transfer Cubone from XY will it evolve into regular Marowak? Or just being in Alola means that it will evolve into Alolan form…
Being in Alola would make them evolve into their Alolan forms. They evolve to adapt to their surroundings. Which makes me think, if the Ledyba in Alola will evolve into an Alolan Ledian.
We don’t know if Ledian has an Alolan form.
I know, I was just saying like what if it did.
No. They have to be Alola born to evolve into their Alola form. Proven by them stating, if we want the original forms.. we must transfer them to the game. Meaning want a regular Raichu? Transfer a regular Pikachu to Alola first.
I also think this will be the case. I think these Alolan forms are example of hundreds of years of adaptation to Alola region. So Alolan born and raised (regular looking) Pikachu will evolve into Alolan Raichu. On the other hand transferred Pikachu will evolve into regular Raichu.
what the fuck ? why there is no alola pikachu and alola cubone ???? thats very stupid 🙁
Each Pokemon species is different, and those ones did not need to adapt. Vulpix and Sandshrew are unique in that way.
then why the change ?? also marowak changed to adapt to its predators which obvously should prey on cubone aswell
Well pure electric Pikachu evolves in alolan raichu electric physic i Can get by, but ground cubone in ghost fire marowak is just odd
U should wait until the revel the dex entry.
they already mentioned that the reason why they got these forsm was to adapt to the nature of alola, If their previuse forms can adapt I cant see why the evolved forms cant !
With Pikachu I understand it, it needs an evolutionary stone and that could affect it.
But Cubone totally goes of the chart, I understand adding fire type but why add ghost and taking of Ground completely.
But maybe this is just an example for an out of Alola imported Cubone.
Today was crazy awesome. I wanted to enjoy it fully with you guys but I was playing at the beach during the events. I still tried my best to see the leaks as they happened 😛 Alolan Raichu is one of my favorite things to happen with these games thus far.
It grew on me visually
…. ?
I do hope Raichu walks on feet majority in Anime though.
And if Sea Cucumber is speedy. .. may use it ?
I also guessed the fishes ability. It seems a bit like defeatist.. like it will be useless after loosing half hp. So I worry it won’t be competitive enough.
U can kill higher level Magnezone with it is very powerful …90% I will use it.
I understand, but Archeops has Amazing stats as well before it loses hp. Just sayin
I really dont know why they changed raichus mouth to make him look as cute as pichu ? he is even cuter than pikachu :/ even worse he evolve from normal pikachu
I get you’re disappointed.. ive complained about things too… But forum after forum.. you keep posting new comment after comment about your anger over the same thing. Why not try staying under your original comment..
I’m not posting you I post on pokejungle lol
I wonder if you would have said the same thing if I was praising its cutness, both are considered opinions
No because one is just negativity. I understand a complaint, as I do myself. But I know not to over do it, as to annoy ppl. Raichu isn’t my favorite, just saying.
Is that a Delibird I’m seeing near Hala? And there’s something colorful too nearby. I wonder if that’s a Pokémon…
Good eye… I think it is a Delibird
That’s not Hala 😛
Its his smexy twin brother I hope
Oh yeah, not Hala. They kinda have the same size and vibe and I focused more to that Delibird and colorful things. Are those colorful things.. Minior?
Oef Hala’s outfit in this vid. All I have to say is yum
I like how Raichu surfs using its own tail, but is it unaffected by ground moves? (if it is then it’s worth using it). I used one for the first time the last time I played Y but it wasn’t that strong so hopefully he’ll gain more stats. And I understand they want the Fairy type to have more pkm considering it was released last gen but what’s the point of these miniature pkm that you can easily kill by stepping on them? Fairies could be so cool but they only keep going for the same pixie look. And finally, I can’t wait for them to reveal a good dark type a la Zoroark. Praying for that
It’s still weak to Ground. But, it’s stats will likely be upgraded.
Also now it will likely learn electric terrain which it couldn’t before.
With its High Speed already doubled.. and Sp.Atk increased by 50% for 5 turns…
It will Surely be a force to be reckoned with. Even if it’s frail.
And don’t forget it also is getting strong Psychic moves to go along with its speed ?
I meant that it’s levitating, so will its ability work a bit like levitate?
No. It’s ability doubles it a speed when electric terrain is on the field. Like Swift Swim does for water types in rain.
Oooh, where did you find the translation? (or do you speak Japanese?)
No.. this was revealed hours ago. You can go to Serebii to get it all also.
I would say no, there are many Pokemon that are up in the air but don’t have Levitate ability, e.g. Beedrill, Magnemite family, etc.
Which’s kind of dumb. How is earthquake even gonna touch a beedrill if it’s flying? I never got that
Tbh imagine Sandcastle+Trapinch combo.
there’s that mushroom, confirming the pretty much comfirmed chinease leaks even further. BTW, what exactly does insides out do? it just destroyed that hariyama.
Serebii says it inflicts damage to the pokemon that makes it faint
I see ……I thought its ability work like destiny bond.
that seems kinda vague. hariyama is a pokemon with a lot of HP, and it took away THAT much…
It’s basically Aftermath, although it may be a stronger version.
Yo… . Raichu bout to be Op. Only problem I can think of is if you use nuzzle to boost electro ball ..that kind of wastes a turn if using electric terrain Also. Plus a super speedy Psychic type..
Might have to use one instead of water archanine if that’s real ?
I totally forgot, we also didn’t get Bewear’s pre-evo today. That whole page is CoroCoro-exclusive. We can expect those to be revealed sometime later this month (hopefully).
Ugh… That’s just a waste of time now. Unless they show a fair amount of new pokemon at same time.
Bewear’s pre-evo and Sandcastle didn’t appear ….maybe in english version.
That’s a good point, it’s safe to assume that until tomorrow. After that, we know it will be grouped with other new ‘mons in the next big update.
Wat is that thing that behind the old man ? I am aware to Delibird though. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470903739977.png
Minior I believe but I could be wrong. It would seem like they make good plushies haha
Looks like a pile of fruit. Could be a place to get multiple berries or something.
It’s looks like cubs.
I would wish it was the anime’s colorful Pokemon eggs, but my mind tells me it can’t be that…
really liking pretty much everything about team skull.
Hmm, Ground to Fire/Ghost seems like a pretty big jump. Wished Cubone would get a form. Oh well.
shiny raichu better be greyish white if its the alolan variant.
I can totally see Meowth getting spoiled rotten by the royal family.
Holy cow! Its a small detail but, can I just say, its awesome that team skull uses more than just normal poke balls for their pokemon, You can see them throw out 2 nest balls and then an ultra ball, I love it!
I love the fact that team skull members use different pokeballs (safari ball, ultra ball, etc). I am a sucker for small details like that.
nest balls
Oh yeah. Didn’t pause the video the first time.
Standard Pikachu evolving into Alolan Raichu is fine, but Standard Cubone evolving into Alolan Marowack is just strange…
Also I love the Team Skull Logo.
exactly
agreed
R.i.P. Cubone?
Standard cubone evolving in alolan marowak is almost impossible. Ground to fire/ghost is too strange! Is it possible that they’re just keeping cubone/pikachu/exggcute for a future reveal? They seem to cut on the evolution…
With Pikachu and Exegcute its fine, it makes sense, since they keep the same primary typing.
With Cubone on the other hand….that’s just too weird
Maybe there’s a spiritual theory behind his change of typing? I mean, ground can represent that one is attacked to earthling things, but when they die they transcend that and go to heaven (ghost). The fire could represent purification and it maybe has some ties with the death of the Cubone’s mother. Idk lol
What if Cubone actually die during evolution and transform into Alolan Marowak?
(Or at least they still live but they become ghostly.)
we also have confirmation that the opposing trainers poke balls can be different , while the grunts are using safari balls , the girl leader is seen using an ultra ball. Neat little touch that adds to every trainer its own trait and whatnot .
…. why do people keep saying safari balls… they are nest balls
People love Safari Balls!
. .. not gonna say what I was about to say -,-
say it lol,
they are nest balls in the trailer though, regardless of if people love safari balls or not
No.. . It was Pokemon inappropriate ?
Ballz joke… Hehe
I love balls, we need more balls in pokemon
(I’m actually serious I want more like we had in HGSS/GS)
lol
Ok.. there.. said it ?
I love balls too.
Well he is a nice guy. . .
