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?!
The GX cards are hiding something right before Lunar Fall and Sol Burst… HHHHMMMMMMM
Don’t get excited there buddy
All and I mean all TCG have made up moves
I’m just sayin, I don’t really know what’s under the goo stuff
Am I the only one who can’t load pokemon.com properly and the sun and moon website at all? I can load every other website just fine…
It’s working fine for me.
Thanks for the reply, I guess I will have try and see what’s up on my end…
Browser?
Chrome
Hmmmmm Water Compaction isn’t that great of an ability actually
If it raised special defense then we’re talking but this is physical defense we’re talking about ergo only useful about getting hit by literally 2-3 moves Waterfall, Aqua Jet and maybe Razor shell and possibly Aqua Tail
Nobody uses Clamp or dive or crab hammer or Water Shuriken and that is literally every physical water move that would benefit activating Water Compaction
This thing will be once again be bullied by the overbearing special water regime
All water moves activate compaction
Yes but were you not listening?
What’s the point if 80% of the time you’re going to get hit by a special water attack, raising the defense wouldn’t change that
Give it sunny day? idk ._.
So waste a move slot and item slot for sunny day and a heat rock?
Madness
It’s a double battle ability…use one of the weaker physical water moves against it yourself, then boom, an automatic +2 defense. Assuming the opponent doesn’t currently have a water Pokemon on the field you’re good.
Aqua Jet for priority defense boost
Give it assault vest for doubles and pair it with a surf user.
I dunno sounds risky
I live for risks
Well I’m not for one to let my Ground types perish a watery grave
At least it’s not one of my steel types.
Which is weak to MY Ground types
*shrugs*
It would also have been nice if it was like storm drain and took no damage from water.
Let’s just hope this thing has a good special defense stat, cause I love its typing
GOOD LORD
I know awesome right
I’ll train my Pallosand to develop a taste for bigger game
Totally gonna be a anime episode
This pic is why I dont mind a sand castle pokemon
Exactly!
One of my favorite things currently on the internet… that its pikachu makes it so much better.
anyone think pokemon who get extra concept art could mean that they could play a important role in a anime episode or be caught by a main character?
Either that or GF is really uping their depth and uniqueness on each pokemon
yea but its certain pokemon not all.
Some pokemon need more publicity than others to be liked
not true at all.
They should release a book with all of these descriptions and extra art.
Am I the only one who’s always dreamed of seeing published an expanded pokedex, done in the manner of a natural history book, with exclusive art and detailed descriptions of behaviour and ecology? That would be AMAZING
Hate to be that guy, but what is that on Stufful’s butt? Is it a tag? Was that pokemon factory made?
Yeh, looks like a tag. Probably cos it’s based of a stuffed toy.
It’s just an awkward design decision though and brings up all these awkward thoughts in my head lol. Examples, do trainers write their names on the tags? If you find a lost Stufful do you check its tag? Is “Asstag” a legitimate insult in Alola? And so much more from one quick image in the video lmao
Asstag 10/10
Lol.
Person 1: Whose Stufful is this?
Person 2: I dunno, check the asstag
its a tag yes. idk if its factory made. maybe it was brought to life on the artificial island
Yay! A Coconut Crab
Yeh, the Sandcastles aren’t gonna be that great. I still love the concept though, but their useability has declined, and I’m not too fond of the names, they’re gonna have to grow on me.
My new Team
Rowlet
Rockruff
Salandit
Crabrawler
I feel like their ability will be great in double battles. No damage anddefence goes up 2 stages from water attack. Use water shuricken on it from your own team, bam
It still takes damage Spetty
It’s not no damage. They still take damage from water attacks. If they were immune to water attacks it would have been a godly ability. But as it stands, it’s not good at all. Even in doubles it will be limited.
As I already compiled the two most physical Water Moves are Waterfall and Aqua jet those are quite literally all you’d ever see and most would be wise not to hit it unless packing firepower
Damn, I was hoping it would have been the godly possibility haha oh well
Imagine if thier hidden ability is water absorb!!
I wouldn’t use something that would knock it out like that. Something like Bubble would be perfect if you can spare the room for learning it.
Anyone have a spare pokerus pokemon
Sure. I’ve some.
Cool thanks this is my code 0276 1931 9769
One sec. Mine is 3239-3723-6799
Jaijai
Ok.
Thanks a bunch!
IGN?
Come on GF! I need my 6th team member! Give me another cute/elegant Pokemon! I would use cutie fly but I already have 3 fairies
Gamexplain might’ve figured out a big piece to the puzzle that is Z-Moves. During the Gamescon demo, somebody used the Z-move Hyper Sprint Attack. However we can see that sometihng else happened when the move was selected. When he pressed the Z-Move button the move that Pikachu had, Slam, was highlighted and changed into Hyper Sprint Attack. When Pikachu used it did damage to bring Rowlet below half of it’s HP, meaning it did significant damage, but not enough to kill. So a theory came up, if Slam transformed into Hyper Sprint Attack, did the Z-Move take elements from Slam. By that I mean Z-Move’s BP depend on the move they transform from. However that would bring up the question, why would we use Z-Moves if they’re going to be that Same BP as the move you already have. So the theory also adds, what if it doubles the BP of the base move, or ,like mega evolution, add 100 BP? These move don’t seem like they take on secondary effects, so you get a really damaging move off, plus think of what happens when you use explosion in that case. You get crazy damage, and your pokemon doesn’t die as a repercussion. The Z-Moves could definitely be interesting additions to the game. What do you guys think?
Slam was just the normal move required to get the normal z move. right?
That’s why it was highlighted…
Well, what I meant when I said highlighted, the bar Slam was on extended outward and changed into Hyper Sprint Attack.
Well, it’s probably so you can’t use Z-moves forever, think about it, one hit per battle and most pokemon are out…
This is particularly relevant to wild battles and fighting over and over again.
But hey! Now we know why the moves were squished to one side of the screen!
When you said bUT hey, all I could think was bUT hey, that’s just a theory, a GAME THEORY
So as of now with all the mons revealed for Sun and Moon, I’m gonna pull off and say Sun and Moon will have a lot more new Pokemon then X and Y did. So far I counted the revealed Pokemon that were accounted for, but included Pokemon who’s evolution were expected (Starter evolution being 3), and those hinted at recent demos and such (Pekipeck having 3 evos, Rockruff having one evo hinted in its description and Coro Coro atm) and so forth. As a result I counted that we know of 48 new Pokemon this gen ( I included Magearna and the 3 legendary Pokemon revealed). So yeah, seems this gen will have a lot to choose from, which is great!
Well. Like with every trailer I’ve decided to make shinies for the pokemon (New Shiny Bewear aswell!) RF
http://i.imgur.com/5sqTfZ3.jpg
I love Bewear’s and Stufful’s. SOOOO CUTE!!! It’s like they’re blue cotton candy (♥ᴥ♥)
SO GUD!
I hope palossand is black as a shiny, taking advantage of the famous black sand beaches in hawaii
Yeah. Those are the best!
Also it’s a ghost type
Hot hot hot
hm Interesting. Black is very hard to pull of with photoshop 🙁
I imagine it would be, as somebody whos never used it, but these shines look great 🙂
Red sand is for soul sand btw
Something like this?
something like this? 🙂
Bewear because my friend said baby blue+Dark blue would be nice
Crabrawler because Red boxing gloves kek
And the Castles because Soul Sand from minecraft( kill me) which is usually a redish color
I like it! Very interesting take on these new additions. Would love to see more of these as time goes on 🙂
I’ve done every pokemon so far revealed except for Vulpix line since im learning how to manipulated white
That bewear shiny is beautiful! Hope it’s something close to this!
Still no new dark types….. :^)
Does the closing ceremony usually have new stuff?
I have no idea 😛
If they do, yeah. I hope we get some.
Nope
Do we USUALLY get stuff during the opening ceremony?
Yes
Oh. Ok then….
Alolan Meowth doesn’t count?
Well I’m sure Persian will be cool but it’s not exactly “new”, since it’s just a form. I want some cool new animals and stuff
What if alola Meowth does not evolve into Persian and instead into a new pokemon?
Not happening
I mean that’d be cool, but it probably wont happen
I did have this one lion idea where Persain gets traded with a King’s Rock to become Prowlion
Dats nice
Huuuuuuaa……I act like I didn’t know …y u remind me?
:(( I’m sorry
Did anyone else laugh at stufful’s “tag” cause it gave me a pretty good chuckle.?
I’m betting by the end of the day, adult websites will have products resembling the tail and tag…
Can anyone spare a FEMALE Ledyba/Ledian from a different country? (For Masuda Method)
Why would anyone want a Ledyba
I want a shiny Ledyba.
Of all Shinies you want you want a Ledyba
They don’t even look that different just slightly brighter
Go for something more badass like a Haxorus or a Heatmor maybe even a Talonflame
Shiny Ledyba is amazing because it’s very realistic. It looks like a yellow ladybug. Plus Ledian is my favorite Pokemon. You would want a shiny Rhyperior even if it looked bad wouldn’t you?
Not really I think shiny Rhyperior is an eyesore
I actually like shiny Ledian
Even if smashed against the wall?
I would give it a proper funeral
And I will dance on the grave
Disrespectful
It’s a Ledyba they’re almost as weak a Sunkerns
Still.
Are you one of those people who randomly squashes any bugs in sight even if they’re not bothering you at all?
Sometimes but we must rule out the weak
ONLY THE STRONG SHALL SURVIVE MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA
Then how are you alive?
Ledian is really cute love it’s design, it’s a shame it has shit stats :/
Thank you. Honestly. I don’t care about stats when I’m looking for shinies.
True, having a shiny Ledian is still a cool thing to have. Good luck with the Masada method.
Thanks 😉
But yeah. It should totally have better stats.
Dude if Green likes a shiny Ledian then let them get a shiny Ledian. At least it looks better than shiny Rhyperior.
Oh Hax you’re such a great guy! <3
😉
Thats a stupid question. He just said why.
Same reason you’d want a Rhyperior
so whats the next date we are getting more news?
Proof positive that legends can be extremely op
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/randombattle-420236611
Lol, nope. Proves nothing.
Firstly it’s a random battle, the movesets are shit.
Secondly he has a massive weakness to Virizion.
Thirdly a Gengar with a Poison move would have easily beaten it. Hell Golbat walls it and beats with Brave Bird (HP Ice won’t even do half).
A crab that isn’t a Water Type for once? And it has Iron Fist as an ability? I might just be tempted to use it.
I still want that Fighting/Steel boyscout Pokemon from that fake leak a few weeks back to be real though. C’mon, the idea’s just too ridiculous to not do it, Game Freak!
Oh no. There’s a theory going around that Lysandre/Malva used Sunny Day right before Alain’s Charizard used Blast Burn lol.
Omg just give it up Ash is never going to win a League get over it
I mean, it wouldn’t surprise me since Lysandre and Malva are criminals and theoretically Alain is too
He’s just a pawn
It was a fix….I knew it.
I vote rematch
Sandygast! Best name for it imo! I love it, I wasn’t too sure of the sandcastles when I first saw them but seeing them in game they are top notch. Stufful! such an adorable name, cry and pokemon, I love the little tag it has omg I just wanna cuddle it. Crabrawler! Love its colours immensely, looks a bit drunk but I guess thats the fighting thing after one takes a few hits, it’ll grow on me I’m sure! 😀 so hyped for sun and moon, like it never stoppes getting better! XD
I love your excitement. XD
What can I say, everything is awesome lately XD lol
I prefer Santom
Santom or Sandtom I think could work really well for its second form imo
This name is awesome. Especially compared to what we got
First things first.. I will protect Stufful with my life and I will murder anyone who hurts the precious baby. *clears throat* ok… I love the sandcastle to pieces and I want twenty of these killer sandcastles. Also, I’m naming the first Crabrawler I catch either Rocky or Little Mac..
They would be cute on a team together.. bear n castle
Anyone who hurts Stufful will be physically tortured by yours truly
You’re gonna spectate every battle one is in? =)
It’ll be painful
Anyone who hurts Stuffle is an asstag (I love this)
What about Bewear hurting you?
Bewear has nothing on me. I have a beard
*a Bewear wanders by and tears your beard clean off*
Bears dont attack me though, they love me.
Your hairy rotund ones maybe but a real ursine will maul your face off
I’ll just sing a lullaby so it falls asleep
Yeah keep telling yourself that when a 650 pound grizzly bear pins you down and bites your face off
They love the nice tender meat u got on you bones :()
Omg I love Stufful lol
https://youtu.be/AdYaTa_lOf4
Dafuq did I just watch……….? lol
Stufful having an operation 😛
Oh dear god….. hahahaha
Meh I’ve seen colonoscopies that were more exciting then this
What did I just watch… :l
Yo Gov you floating around I have a job for ya
When do they show the Battles at the championship?
