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. 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.

  2. Pallosand seems very promising
    Also I actually like the backstory about its shovel

    I bet my in-game character will be chilling on the beach and find a lone shovel and a Sandygast will swiftly attack me and my team and after getting sanded we realize the shovel is all it wants, and after demonstrating its power I challenge it to a fight to catch it

  3. We finally have a crab that could fight! Also, Stufful is the cutest Pokemon ever. It’s animations and all are just too cute! <3

  4. How many pokemon have been revealed in August alone? And does anyone have an estimate on the number of pokemon in the pokedex for this gen?

    9 for the starters.
    Pikipek: 2, likely 3 total.
    Yungoos/Gumshoos = 2
    3 for the bug.
    Rockruff: total of 2.
    Komala: likely 2 total.
    Drampa: potential standalone, likely prevo. So 2.
    Bruxish: likely standalone.
    Cutiefly: tossup, I’ll go with two total.
    Togemedaru.
    Salandit: I’m hoping it evolves, likely 2 total in its line.
    Stufful/ Bewear- 2.
    Mimikyu: standalone for sure.
    Wimpod: likely evo. Hopefully 3 stages total.
    Bounsweet: one evo more. Maybe a split. 2 or 3 total with split.
    Comfey: standalone is my guess.
    The horses = 2
    Minior: likely one evo. 2 total.
    Mantis x 2
    Oricorio: likely standalone (4 forms)
    Sandcastles: 2
    No way the fish evolves. Wishiwashi is a standalone.
    Myukumuku: one evo? 2 total.
    Morelull: could be 2 or 3 total.
    Tortunator: hopefully a prevo so 2 total.
    Crabrawler: standalone or one prevo. 1 or 2 total.
    Tapu Koko: 4 Tapus total.
    2 legends.
    Magearna.

    That puts us at around 65 if every prediction comes true. I think its safe to say we are getting more than 70 this gen since we dont have any original ice or dark types yet. If each of those is a three stage, we would be at 71. We still dont have the pseudo legend either which is always a three stage, though it could be an ice or dark type and fill both quota. Idk. I think at the rate they are revealing these, we should have plenty of new pokemon to play with this gen!

  5. I like his eyes ?
    And based on a land crab I see so no water typing, cool.
    I actually Like the castles.. good ability. It makes me understand Less why Drampa has to lose Half of it’s Hp only to get a +1 when they get +2 each hit, both def.

      • I personally like when they take an animal and give it inspiration that you wouldnt think would fit. Sharpedo being based on a shark- the water/ dark type is so obvious. Its executed well, just not anything super out of the box. But pokemon like Zebstrika. Im so impressed by that dude having electric typing. It fits so well. Who thought of adding electric to a zebra? The ground crocodiles are the same way. So is galvantula. The only time this doesnt work is for Yanmega and Flygon. One of them should be bug/ dragon. They’re dragonflies… it’s in the name for goodness sake.
