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
<3 PJ
Aside from the Gen 1 bias and the Corocoro exclusive leaks I’m liking this trailer. And Guzmo is honestly kinda hot. Not like OH DADDY but in a like, bad boy kinda way I guess?
They always want a bad boy
To do, yes, but I’d rather have someone with a job and/or degree that actually cares about his place in society. And can cook.
Hmmmmm yeah, the bad boys can be bums sometimes
You sound experienced ?
I’ll have you know I’m the most responsible of my siblings
Only because those turds barely stray far from their computers
True! And preferably with a good personality and is not quiet, awkward, or just a plain canvas with no colors. How I regret some of my life decisions…
Saaame
y’all can keep your bad boys
Guzma… hot? And her I thought I had weird tastes. ;P
?
Guys!!!! I’ve notice that for the alola forms. Each one appears either on the sun or moon background so those will be version exclusives for sure. I just notice that!!
I dunno about you guys, I’m really loving Team Skull’s themes <3 It just fits their personality so far
And I amlate to the party, so excuse me if you guys already know this, but it's definitely the encounter theme in the English trailer and the battle theme in the Japanese one. And I actually like the encounter theme slightly more for some reason xD
I like both themes soooooo
Don’t get me wrong, I love both too, I just like the encounter theme slightly more :3
I agree sooooooo
Pyukumuku hate to have their spikes and mouths touched, and if you step
on one, it will hurl out its fist-like inner organs to strike at you.

I was about to eat… now I think I’ll pass. *_*
I’ll eat it for you
oh sorry
This is more disgusting everytime I watch it.
Sad thing is I’ve already seen that gif before 😀
Still not as creepy as the removal of a bot fly or ‘trypophobia’ images.
Trypophobia got me trippin’! Those damn pictures give me nightmares for days!
Ew, I looked it up! It was such a mistake. Dx
Remember me when you have nightmares tonight 😀
I shouldn’t look that up should I….
Not if you value your sanity.
I’m not very sane already, so I’d like to keep the little sanity I have.
Thanks for making me curious…. Now I can’t unsee it…. or stop throwing up….. XD
There’s a whole reddit dedicated to that sort of gross unseeable stuff.
Honestly, this doesn’t bother me too much… Probably because I’ve witnessed it….
SUCH A CHUNCHY THEME
https://youtu.be/IGRt1RjUTss
Ew this is disgusting. I hate this theme so much. >.<
:C
It’s cause it’s hip hop isn’t it?
I don’t think there should be word like sounds in Pokemon music. I didn’t like it in Gen 5 and I don’t like it here.
I mean, I don’t care for rap/hip hop, but I can’t deny that it really fits with Team Skull’s personality, and its actually pretty nice 🙂
Just no words please. xP
I never much cared if words were in it, so long as it fit. All the tracks with words make sense with the feel of the place/event.
Roxie was in a band, so it made sense that they would have words/lyrics to their songs, it would be weird if they didn’t
Elesa’s gym was a runway, so it made sense to have the pump up music and female vocals
and this theme just screams Skull to me.
I just don’t want the words thing to be abused and unnecessary, but I understand it’s all in personal taste :3
They’re already there, scratched into the background.
It’ll be all the more reason to enjoy pounding the crap out of them.
Being an evil team that causes trouble for everyone is one thing, but listening to such awful ‘music’ is unforgiveable 😛
Seems fine to me. Its better than a lot of the other evil team themes from past generations. 😀
That moment you finally beat Team Skull and you think you’ve saved Alola, but the true team comes out from the shadows.
This is exactly the same theory I have been spouting all day 😀
Its official name is now operation “Bait And Switch”
Not to spoil anything… but Part 1 of Alan VS Ash at the league was… *refresh for gif*
So is the move that Morelull uses supposed to be Sleep Powder?
Probably Spore.
But didn’t it put Mudbray to sleep?
Well Spore is the only sleep-inducing move with 100% accuracy and Mudbray doesn’t have any abilities that negate Spore and isn’t a Grass-type so…
I do love the new attack animations. Especially the ancient power with the fossils. ?
Me too! I always look forward to the attack animations because they’ve only gotten better and better as time goes on!
That was surprising, and amazing! Now, I want to know what move Marowak used….
It used Will-o-Wisp.
I completely feel you here! I love the attack animations in this Sun and Moon! They’re so crisp and some of them quite epic! Like they completely reworked all the animations! I can’t wait to see legendary pokemons signature moves with new animations!
Disappointed by no Alolan Cubone, like many others I think GF are being too loose on biological logic with these forms (yes I know, typical game freak, they do what the want, but honestly it’s nicer when it makes sense). What’s especially grating is the poor justification behind the ghost typing, which could have been done so much better than that social attunement sixth sense bullshit, especially taking into account a certain gen I cubone’s backstory, and the confusion over wether that applies to all cubones… Would it have been that difficult to include shamanism or marowak graveyards in the description?
I mean they could at least have put something along the lines of “Alolan Marowak only gain advantage over their predators upon evolution, and as such must actively protect their vulnerable cubone offspring “, to justify this.
And Alolan Raichu’s description is just taking the piss. It’s not even funny, it’s just bad.
And these forms started out so well too… I hope GF step it up with the biology here, the idea of regional variants is great but they’re applying it like a poorly conceived fan concept.
Eh, at least design wise they’re not bad.
Alolan Cubone might be still possible. Maybe it wasn’t soon because they didn’t want reveal it too early?
The Japanese trailer strongly suggests there’s no Alolan Cubone, but sure, it’s not 100% deconfirmation. Very unlikely though :/
Huh??? How long was I out of the game? This is epic!!!!!!
You shoulda been here yesterday
Well my counter part was here but I have been a little distant for a bit
Who’s that?
The Last Kurusu he is my counterpart the Better half
Oh ok.
Yeah this account is less used only cause my Ipod is used for last Kurusu and my computer is well me!
Well you do live under rocks and underground… Sorry, I had to.
I know living in the Ground doesn”t get WIFI but I am E-mailing my Alolan Cousins I haven”t seen them since the Family reunion in Sinnoh years ago!
Nice chatting with you guys/gals! See ya soon! 😀
Bye 🙂
Bye Bye!!!
Something I’ve noticed is that in all the trailers, they’ve never finished an evolution segment. This may just be because it’s too long, but they always cut out into a battle instead of finishing the evolution.
Either like you said it’s too long or we’re getting Alolan forms of prevos and they don’t want to reveal them.
They shoulda shown it in the ‘Watch Grubbin Evolve’ thing.
Adding the fact that they probably don’t want to reveal the full sequence, for whatever reason…..
so wishiwashi technically evolves without evolving? ok work
Yeah. It should be after a certain HP
I think at around level 40 it activates yet if I saw right if it drops below 50% health or something it goes back solo!
in the japanese video wishiwashi was level 27
Oh i thought I saw one level 50 as well but i might have been wrong!
In the English one it was 50
I thought I saw a lv.50!
In the Japanese trailer, there was a level 27 Wishiwashi whose ability activated
They probably wanted a strength in numbers pokemon but to keep it from being too strong they made its evolution a former change.
Actually I think what it is, is that once it reaches a certain level, it is now strong enough to call upon a large group and be able to sustain the form.
Kind of like how the older you get the easier it is to accomplish certain things. Like holding your breath longer and such. 😀
I thought it could be cool if Wishiwashi evolves into a beast that resembles it’s school form, and the way that Wishiwashi survive is by imitating it’s evolution. I could imagine Beldum Metang, Klink Magnemite doing the same thing.
SuMo (wild?) battle theme is sooooooooooooooooo amazing
Your YouTube video is blocked from pokemon copyright 🙁
What video?
Probably Pj’s video. I think it was about the leaks but I couldn’t watch being I was out of streaming minutes last night.
Ohh! Ok
also pyukumuku is literally the perfect death fodder
Ok. So Innards Out is like Aftermath?
Yes but deals damage based on whats left.
Ok. That’s pretty cool
So its like Endeavor-Aftermath blend
More like Final Gambit than endeavor
Can’t wait to abuse it in a Nuzlocke.
this pokemon is going to be a Nuzlocke nightmare
Oh yeah, it’ll work both ways. I want to put it out on a kahuna’s best Pokemon or something.
But the question is, does it base it on a percentage of HP or is it how many Hit Points it has left
And what about 1HKOs like a Nasty Plot Mismagius Thunderbolt would it just instantly KO or just do based on individual health
I think it works like this: Pyukumuku dies with 53 HP left, Innards Out deals 53 damage. Probably total HP based, not percentage.
I like how Pyukumuku’s cry sounds like it’s name. xD
Don’t all Pokemon? ..?
Oh wait. :p
Jynx be like…
pyukumuku is Rabite from Legend of mana.
Who else thinks Guzma needs a goatee
Maybe a soul patch
Yes! He needs SOME kind of facial hair, for sure.
He doesn’t look “boss of an evil gang” enough.
So I just had a scary thought
What if this alleged Rugby Gorilla isn’t a Ground/Fighting type but screws me and is a Rock/Fighting type
Fairy/Fairy Type.
Burn in hell
O_0
Fairy/Fighting/Ground
ALLL THE TYPPESS!
I do want Fighting/Fairy tbh. Not sure about design tho
Mohammed Ali with pixie wings and a pink afro.
My Security Toy Fakemon
Mashmellow
Fairy/Fighting
Fluffy
It’s a gigantic overstuffed pink bear rabbit with bits of fluff sticking out here and there, stitched mouth, a big X for an eye, and long thick sock like tube arms
It is extremely protective of its young and trainer it will defend them with its very life
Though extremely gentle they have enough strength to snap trees with their massive arms
That’d be lame.
And typical
They dangle something that is perfect for me just to take it back and alter it
More leaks, refresh.
Did you ever hear my Alolan Vileplume idea?
Grass/Flying
It’s petals grew larger and lighter due to the tropical climate, they’re so big sometimes large gusts of wind whisk them into the sky and by adjusting the angle of their petals they can glide long distances
They spent so much time in the air they now can’t live without it, now they developed a way to launch themselves into the air by contracting their petals
They are Skiploom
I know but still it’s better then just a atypical supersized Vileplume or Grass/Fairy combo
Vileplume is thrash.
Isn’t this normal… Oh I see what you did here
I didnt make this, I found it on Reddit.
Someone else made that same joke earlier
Didn’t see it
It’s either on one of the other articles from yesterday or its so far buried that we’ll never be able to revive it.
Hahah epic. I hope we get some bellossom love
That Pokemon is Bellossom, and is already appearing in Pokemon Sun and Moon.
That’s the joke
Ancient Power’s animation tho. CATCH THESE FOSSILS lmao
Glaceon!
Hey! You’re back! Great to see you caught up with the Sun and Moon hype too haha
I bought the game as soon as it was available for purchase ? always hyped for these games :3
Haven’t seen you around since the mid-early stages of ORAS announcements? Always happy to see familiar faces back on PJ ?
I actually stopped by yesterday, and before that about a month ago. More people came back yesterday too!
That’s really cool! Hopefully you guys check in once in a while after the hype is over too!
I like how the power is finally ancient; instead of just rocks.
Still though, just flinging fossils instead of rocks at people aparently classifies it as ‘anicent’ 😛
Does that mean I can throw ice creams at people and call it an ice attack? 😀
So once wishiwashi is able to summon a school, does it automatically change form once the battle starts?
Seems like it based on the trailer yeah
Good, I like it more now 🙂
So why not just give it an evolution?
Maybe it has slaking level stats and they’re balancing it
Could be.
Stats wise possibly as Ultron said, and also they wanted to implement the concept that way? A permanent school evolution would’ve worked I guess, so maybe not. I guess the arbitrary design decision also worked balance-wise so they went with that.
ok but where is my sandcastle pokemon?
CoroCoro exclusive. Wait a month.
A MONTH?
https://66.media.tumblr.com/ce60ec0790f4840a44849e186babe89a/tumblr_inline_oa0i2uwc1H1rpsmpf_500.gif
Only about half a month 😉
I was considering saying that but was too lazy to type it.
What’s with people getting all these reaction gifs of people I’ve never seen or heard of before?…
*looks suspiciously over at tumblr*
*opens mouth*
*organs fly out and form an offensive hand signal*
I’m literally waiting for Serebii to say “New Sun and Moon info coming in 2 weeks”
Give it three to four days and we’ll get “new info September 1st”.
It was retconned for being awful
http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/428/075/30a.jpeg
It’s fun
Omg.. I actually remember that episode. It’s was so weird.
Its amazing
Earthen is silent about it, therefore it’s bad.
What I just haven’t seen it in action, I don’t go ape shit over every ground type (Nincada, Wormadam, Whiscash, Stunfisk too but it’s a boss)
But believe me if it can morph it’s body to battle I’d be all over it
You don’t seem too hyped over the design though. But yeah, if it was like sandman and can morph, my opinion will change. Till then, I think it’s probably the worst design this gen.
Corocoro exclusive
I dunno, have you tried the beach?
