NEW POKÉMON Revealed in New Sun & Moon Trailer!

An all-new trailer for Sun & Moon has just been released in the opening ceremony of Worlds 2016, showcasing a new Pokémon known as Crabrawler. The Pokémon Company has also release a new trailer on the Pokémon YouTube Channel, showcasing four (one?) new Pokémon!

While technically speaking only one of the Pokémon is completely new, we have now learnt the English names of three Pokémon previously announced in CoroCoro earlier this month:

  • Crabrawler is a new Fighting-type Pokémon with the ability Hyper Cutter/Iron Fist
  • Sandygast and Palossand  are the two Ghost/Ground-type sandcastle Pokémon announced in CoroCoro. Both have Water Compaction, an ability that raises the Pokémon’s Defense by 2 when it is hit by a Water-type move
  • Finally, Stufful is Bewear’s pre-evolution with the ability Fluffy/Klutz

The Sun & Moon reveals just keep pouring in and it’s likely we won’t have to wait long for more. What do you think of Crabrawler?!

  1. Crabrawler has a personality that really hates to lose, and it’s driven not only to aim for a higher position than its fellows in terms of social standing, but literally to aim for a higher position in the landscape. Perhaps as a result, it’s sometimes found clinging to tall people or to the walls of buildings! If you try to remove one against its will, you’ll be met with a sound punch.

    Crabrawler’s favorite food is Berries. It punches the trunks of trees to give the branches a good shake and knock any ripe Berries to the ground so it can feast! Many Crabrawler may gather around a tree, but only the one that emerges victorious in battle against all the others receives the privilege of eating the ripe Berries.

    Crabrawler uses its claws to protect its face and belly while getting in close to an opponent to throw punches. Its punches are powerful enough to split tree trunks! Crabrawler’s pincers are sometimes torn off during its bouts—and they are said to be delicious.

  2. Sandygast
    CATEGORY Sand Heap Pokémon
    TYPE Ghost/Ground
    HEIGHT 1’08”
    WEIGHT 154.3 lbs.
    ABILITY Water Compaction
    A Sandygast emerges when the grudges of Pokémon and other creatures soak into the sand after they fall in battle. In essence, it’s a possessed lump of sand!

    If you heedlessly grab a Sandygast’s shovel, you’ll fall under the Pokémon’s control. A Sandygast uses its power to manipulate children into gathering sand to increase the size of its body. If a Sandygast loses its shovel, it may put up a tree branch, a flag, or another item in its place. These Sandygast are wanderers in search of their own shovels.

    The tunnel-like mouth of a Sandygast can suck the vitality from people and Pokémon. Apparently it’s a test of courage in the Alola region to put your hand in a Sandygast’s mouth.

    Sandygast has the new Water Compaction Ability, an Ability that no previous Pokémon has had. With Water Compaction, its Defense stat will go up by 2 if it’s hit with a Water-type move.

    • Palossand
      CATEGORY Sand Castle Pokémon
      TYPE Ghost/Ground
      HEIGHT 4’03”
      WEIGHT 551.2 lbs.
      ABILITIES Water Compaction
      Palossand controls human adults, making them build a sand castle that provides camouflage and also raises its defensive abilities. Unlike Sandygast, if Palossand loses some of the sand from its body, it can restore itself on its own. When moving about in search of prey, the shovel on top of Palossand’s head revolves. It’s said that the shovel could be serving as some kind of radar.
      Palossand loves the vitality of Pokémon and drags small Pokémon into its body so it can steal their life force. Its sandy vortex swallows them up in a heartbeat! Pokémon dragged into Palossand leave traces of their ill will behind. It’s thought that this negative energy may be the starting point of new Sandygast…

  3. Stufful
    CATEGORY Flailing Pokémon
    TYPE Normal/Fighting
    HEIGHT 1’08”
    WEIGHT 15.0 lbs.
    ABILITIES Fluffy/Klutz
    Stufful’s cute appearance and movements—plus the fluffy feel of its fur—all combine to make it super popular!

    This Pokémon may have a small body, but its strength is extraordinary. Receiving one of its powerful hits without being prepared for it can bring down even well-trained Pokémon!
    The truth is that Stufful doesn’t really like being touched. It hates being hugged tightly and will flail its arms in protest.

  5. So we can expect another crustacean with Wimpod’s evo. I swear, this could have been the evo (bug/fighting) but oh well.

  6. I’ve decided that Stuffull is from now on my default Pokemon, in SuMo and any future titles. I can’t ignore so much adorable.

  7. I like how Stufful hates to be touched and hugged, and when it evolves, it loves to hug so much that it can kill people by doing so
