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?!
For TGC fans, there is now something called GX Cards. They look dope and I might actual re-start collecting Pokemon Cards. Lonk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW_DzvSjxZo
Love it!
Your profile pic always reminds me of Lina from Dota2.
I thought it was Flame Princess.
It’s actual art from Moxie2D; it portrays Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones. I’ve never watched the show, but I loved the art.
Oh, well in that case, I think that’s the scene where she’s hatching dragon eggs.
This is what I needed to get me up!!
The news keeps coming! Crabrawler is awesome, I can see myself training one. Anybody know the meaning of Palossand’s name?
At first I thought it was poltergeist + sand, but then I realized I read it wrong.
I thought it was Palooza + Sand, but it doesn’t seem to make sense.
Palissade+Colossus+Sand?
Pile-o-sand. lol that’s what Im getting.
That’s what I thought at first.
It could also come from the word, “Palo” which literally translates to stick hence the Poke’dex entry.
Palo can translate to “stick”
“Pile of Sand” similar to its Japanese name of “It’s a castle, huh”
Palace + Sand
Pala is shovel in Spanish
Contains the word “pal” “and” “loss”
I need National Geographic or Discovery to someday have a tie-in marketing tactic with Pokemon; “New Species of Animal Discovered” and turns out to be a new Pokemon. Or build-a-bear to have tie in promotions with Pokemon. And I’m still scratching my head as to why they still haven’t had a deal with Disney (Nintendo does, but these Japanese businessmen and women are sly foxes).
Build a Bear did have a tie in with Pokémon. It was a terrifying Pikachu.

But, but… it looks fine! It doesn’t look anywhere as (literally) sad as Mimikyu…
It’s so deformed and terrifying. I hate it. 🙁
Well I haven’t seen in 3D/real life… so I’m only judging by the fairly reasonable-looking pics… 🙂
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but is anyone else hoping for a hiatus on pokemon reveals? There’s been four this month if Im not mistaken. And its not just one each time. Im kind of hoping they slow down, unless they’re pulling all the stops and were about to get 150 new ones.
I sincerely hope they are pulling all the stops…
I seriously hope that they don’t reveal almost all of the Pokemon or have any leaks similar to X/Y. I do think the dex size will be reasonable, but we got 3 more months of news with likely six updates (one at the start of the month and one from the CoroCoro). We got these few reveals because of Gamescom and the World Championship. We’re likely going to get one more thing at the end of the event.
I predict they will release a demo in October like ORAS, and there’ll be a news blackout from then on…
That sounds reasonable and likely. I sure hope so.
Probably because assholes will data mine the games ruin EVERYTHING for EVERYONE
Good comment. love it.
Oh yeaaaah. That totally happened the last time!
EDIT: No sarcasm. It actually happened. Boo.
If these were leaked pokemon, it would be different. But this is official. The company feels confident in revealing these pokemon prerelease. A few pokemon is enough for people to want to buy the game and discover more. The marketing really confuses me.
I think we do have a very substantial generation (surely more than 100), so what we will see is still a fraction of the final roster.
I discussed below that we have around 65 if you count potential evos and are being optimistic about those predictions. Still no ice, dark, or pseudo this gen so far. Plus if they have one of each of those types and the pseudo happens to be one of those (either the ice or the dark type) that would mean GF is only saving at minimum two lines as a secret until the games release. That would mean we’d only get evos of the pokemon revealed thus far in the coming months, which I highly doubt will happen.
200+ Pokemon here we come!!!
Probably not. But one can dream!
I agree with ya. They did the same with X/Y revealed a shitload of Pokemon before release, and we ended up only getting 69 new Pokemon.
I’m excited for the reveals but I can’t help feel spoiled by them myself, to the point that my brain might explode.
Where’s this pic coming from? I feel I miss something. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1471624892112.png
Yeah, I wonder where it came from.
Background seems to be online battle stage.
Isnt that what they showed at Worlds? Or was it the whole trailer at worlds?
Well if they showed a different trailer in Worlds… I dunno about that…
I think when I watched a tiny bit of the reveal at worlds, it ended after crabrawler and it showed him battling a bunch of pokemon really fast, like a landorus and such. And said something about getting ready to battle with this dude.
Ah sounds like a badass trailer I haven’t seen!
It was the trailer shown at Worlds and seems to be an online battle where Crabrawler defeated Talonflame, Cresselia, Kangaskhan, and Smeargle I believe.
so I missed this ……did I miss online stream or something ? link?
https://youtu.be/QYvX1jiO5K8
Dat Crabhammer tho
So defensive ? pail-o-sand ?
Why is Crabrawler’s ability Hyper cutter. It’s claws don’t look sharp to to me.
Kingler has it too, just accept it
Kingler has sharp ckaws
Moana and Pokemon Sun/Moon both come out in November, both have crabs, both are about traveling through several islands, and both are inspired from Hawaiian/Polynesian cultures. Coincidence? I think not.
Lol bothe have crabs, that just sounds funny.
Moana actually has a giant crab as one of its villains and a lava witch. #HYPE
Very nice! I’m really excited for that movie!
With all the new Pokemon they are revealing. I hope Sun/Moon has large roster of new Pokemon.
200 or go home.
thankfully i’m already home
Lol I wish!
Why is it pure fighting??
I don’t get it…
The blue makes it look like a water pokemon. But then again.. It looks more like a bug type than water.. So why not bug fighting
Land crab?
Coconut Crab. Look it up.
Wait… a Fighting type??? Not at least PART Water? Cool!
And, based on his design, wait Wi-fi get crowded with it named Rocky, or Balboa, or, if female…. ADRIAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!
Its a coconutcrab, its not supposed to be water type..
True, makes sense now that you mentioned Coconut Crabs.
Was about to say that, didn’t ring a bell for me before.
I just opened PJ and saw the new pokemon and my only reaction was: WHAT THE FUCK. gonna watch the video
When I first saw palossand in corocoro, I liked it, but with that ability? Definitely on the team, which is weird considering he’s only the 2nd pokemin for sure on my team
It’s basically a better Stamina… Cool ability indeed!
When I saw this trailer for the first time I noticed that something stick in Stufful’s ass I thought it was my dirty imagination ……WAT THE HELL IS THAT? http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1471625029130.png
A tag, or stufful is just a baaaaddd kid.
Daddy complex.
Tag ?…hmmmm…..is that mean it’s a doll.
Its a price tag
yeah I meant that and that mean stufful is a doll.
Not necessarily a price tag. One of those annoying tags that tell you how to wash it.
I get the idea of the tag, but I agree, when I first say it I was like…umm…
Looks like someone forgot to take its toilet paper….
Reminds me of those bears in the toilet paper commercials.
Stuffel was a great idea that went astray. I love the stuffed animal concept but the tag is just awkward and takes it too far. Do they stick tags up their butts to look more like stuffed animals so people will like them more??
My other issue with its design is the mouth below the muzzle. What were they thinking? I will say I like it better now that I’ve seen the 3D sprite, but those two factors prevented it from being a great Pokémon.
its a tag you moron! what else did ya think it was…….. -_- dont answer that
Shut up bitch all of us know that.
Official site says crabrawler legs sometimes come off in fights, and they’re supposed to taste delicious
It doubles as a Pokemon and emergency provisions. I’m sold.
Mallow: ASH! WANT SOME CRABRAWLER LEGS?! THWY’RE A DELICACY IN ALOLA!
The crab doesn’t do anything to me but it’s a nice addition. I hope we have lots of new Pokemon and I don’t care if they reveal the whole pokedex before hand, I’d rather know what’s available so I can make my team. As long as they keep the story secret I am good
Description of Sandygast:
Apparently it’s a test of courage in the Alola region to put your hand in a Sandygast’s mouth.
I’ll just put it out here.
And… time to close out of tumblr.
Inb4 they make one with sandygast and kukui in it
I mean… if it’s Kuiki…
KUKUI
Some people would put other things
I wouldn’t like having the life force being sucked out of my dick
Would love to see Crabrawler with a Fighting/Poison evo.
I don’t think it’s evolving
Sandyghast and Palossand.
As much as I love the Pokemon, the names dont really do it for me :/
I think the names should have been switched.
The names for Sun/Moon have been sub-par so far. Designs are great, names are weird and unfitting.
Yeah, Turtonator is what sums it up for me…
Although Water Compaction is cool. Depends on its stats, but I see it having good base HP, but I don’t think it would make it immune to water.
If it does, well then, this things is going to be awesome.
Let’s see if it doesn’t go the Dusclops way: awesome defenses, pitiful HP.
Pokemon being real in life would be the most terrifying thing;
“BREAKING: Local Gyarados goes berserk leaving nothing but ash behind.”
“BREAKING: Time and space have ceased and we are all about to die.”
“Man taken into custody over sexual abuse of Pokemon”
“Trainers? Study finds kids no longer aspire to be trainers”
“Man beaten to death by own Pokemon”
“Pokemon Abuse; How to Stop it”
“Arceus decides he regrets creating us”
Why leave Ash behind? Take him with you, gyarados! lol
If time and space cease to exist, how do we get the breaking news story?
Darkrai.
That last one got me good.
Turdonators and electrodes would be used by terrorists
Seeing the sand ghosts in action, they literally look like how an Alolan Grimer and Muk would be.
Loved Crabrawler. I understand why it isn’t part Water, but I’ll try and add it to my team.
Little cub should wipe better….. if you know what I mean…. It’s cute though.
I really wish they had designs like grimer and muk instead of the crap sandcastly thing and that thing on their heads is just so stupid
That would be bland. Kill two birds with one stone; sand monster + sandcastle?! Who wouldn’t want that?
Why would we want another Grimer and Muk. We already have Gulpin and Swalot, which are basically the same thing
They’re not that bad. I usually perfer humanoid/animal-like Pokemon (Honedge is an exception), but I don’t mind their designs.
That moment a person insinuates you being a slut, but you don’t care anyway because you’ve seen their search history and know their parents well…
Savage
Fascinating
What’s more fascinating is how I’m only 14 and they think I go around town looking for a man………… WTF?
Awwww….you’re taking your baby steps into the real world.
Word of advice, it’s a horrid place, don’t take too much notice of what people think or say about you.
True and thank you. The world is a nasty, unaccepting place.
When one has bewbs the world becomes less forgiving
I have a dik so…
Oh, I thought you were a girl. Get dat (underage only) d then
LOL! Whenever I call someone and they’re trying to be polite, they’re always like, “Hang on mam,” or, “What can I help you with mam?” And even after I tell them several times I’m a boy, they’re like, “Mam?” ???
The struggle x). I was so innocent when I was 14, gosh
Haha! My body and soul are innocent, but not so much my mind, sadly.
Same when I answered the phone when I was young. Now people think Im my dad when I answer the phone o.O
LOL! They think I’m my Mom.
You can call school and say your son’s sick so he can’t go to class
I love deep voices, mine’s ok, not feminine but def not that deep. How old are you?
dafuq o.O xD Boy calm down eh
Lol, that was an honest question. Idk until what age one’s voice changes. Not looking for ur d
i think my voice changed at 15? i cant remember
Are you American? Because I’ve noticed that a lot of young American guys have really deep voices but that’s due to the language I think and how they have that really thick r sound.
lol no im caribbean
My voice is at that awkward point when you are a squeaker but have a deep voice at the same time, it is just… bad
It’s called puberty lol
I hated my voice in that time xD
I never went through that stage. My voice has always been like a girl’s. My sister’s friends always ask for, “Your little sister” and they used to play dress-up and make-up with me…
Lmao kinda glad Im an only child then
And mine sound’s like I’m constantly chewing something…. Probably cuz I am…. My molars are always biting the back of my mouth… It’s… weird…
You cannibal!
It’s not on purpose. My molars are tilted inwards
…who calls you this? You’re only 14 right….
A person who I thought was a friend, but not anymore.
Well don’t worry, if you have their creepy internet history, you have blackmail on them.
Natsuuu youre too young for this drama D;
I LIVE FOR THE DRAMA, because I know I’m a cold, heartless, person when I want revenge.
Come to discord 🙁
Oh I forgot about Discord… need to visit some time
Can we take a second to appreciate the badass art on the new GX cards?
Ehh, 5ban Graphics just aint my cup of tea… (it looks like 5ban, not sure it it actually is)
no numbering on the pokemon
There
Crabrawler sounds like an Earthen type of Pokemon.
Even the flavour text is inspired by Earthen
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.
Eeyep that sounds like me alright
