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?!

    • A few favourites, in no particular order except the first one, and I’ve probably forgotten a whole bunch of them:
      A lullaby for trains (BW music CD)
      (technically I’m kinda cheating here but you could just treat this as Anville town)
      Azalea Town (probably the FRLG remix which made me love it in the first place, can’t remember which sevii island it plays on).
      National park (you can find magnificent piano covers on youtube)
      Wally’s Battle Theme (ORAS) (So unimaginably epic)
      Twinleaf town (especially the music box version from Platinum)

  4. Wasn’t expecting any new pokemon to be revealed , but at least we english info on the sandcastle pokemon, the ability is ok , I understand why they call it water compaction and defense raise but would have great when it hit by any water attacks , both of them will lose it ground typing and show it true ghostly form. Stufful is meh, crabrawler OK …..

  5. Dear Pokejungle,

    I’m sure most of you don’t even know me but oh well haha. I’m making my departure. I’ve a lot of life changing events going on in the on-coming months and those need to be priority, along side my family. You all have been amazing and so welcoming. This will also probably be my last pokemon generation.

    @Earthen keep posting your pokemon ideas. I’ve always found them to be awesome. As weird as this sounds, but don’t change.

    @Percy Thank you, just, thank you for being so kind.

    @Moving, don’t stop moving

    We’ll, I guess this is goodbye! My Disqus will be disabled…eventually haha

    Tootles!

  6. What’s with those names? I think Babywear and Collosand would’ve been more fitting for Stuffel and Palossand. Crawbrawler is alright, no strong feelings either way for me. On a side note, we now know 39 Pokemon excluding Alola forms. Either we have a larger dex on our hands or they’re planning to reveal most of the new ones pre release (possibly as a reaction to what happened in gen 6).

  7. I can’t deny I want to say this as former boxer Crabrawler is really touch my soul with with this adamant personality with this broken face that looks like a skull an give it a pirate attitude …….yeah I still feel it’s a water type even if coconut crabs can’t swim but this is 100 time better than Hitmonchan and I will use it. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1471635455665.jpg

  8. Gotta say I’m impressed and delighted by how spoiled we’re being with pokémon concepts this generation. The number of things being ticked off the “this should be a pokémon” list is off the charts this time. Sure, past generations have all done, this but I feel pretty much every sun/moon reveal brings along more of these.

    This gen we have a woodpecker, a koala, a grub, a filefish, a bee fly, a red panda/teddy bear, a mimic, an isopod, a donkey, a sandcastle, an orchid mantis (more like mantis orchid lol), a meteor, an oriole, a schooling sardine, a sandcastle, a sea cucumber, a bioluminescent fungus, a matamata, a coconut crab… Also an arctic fox and a proper palm tree.

    Plus we have new cool versions of a mongoose, a horse, a salamander, a stag beetle, and a hedgehog.

    And we’re pretty much promised a tiger, a snowman and a dolphin.

    Compare this to last gen, which was already satisfactory on this front, where we got: a fennec fox, a robin, a proper lion, a goat, a panda, a poodle, a sword, cuttlefish/squids, barnacles, leafy sea dragons, pistol shrimps, frilled lizards, fully genuine theropods and sauropods, an eagle warrior luchador, a hamster, a treant, pumpkins, and an iceberg.

    That’s about the same number of ideas, less if you count supposedly leaked pokémon, and we’re only in august!!!!

    Can’t wait to see what come up next!!!

    • It came to mind as a possibility, but after thinking about it, it doesn’t seem that likely, there’s nothing that particularly links them apart from reveal timing. Maybe if crabrawler had been water type, but it’s a well thought-out coconut crab, so that’s not the case.
      I do think they will both get prevos though, if that’s anything.
      It’s possible though, you never know!

  9. I know some people said that they were having trouble using Pokejungle on mobile, but this is getting out of hand. I don’t know if the issues have something to do with my device, but I can’t even type a sentence without the page crashing. I’m trying to read previous comments and I can’t even get to the “load more” without it crashing. All of the other websites I’ve been using (without disqus) have been working fine, so I don’t think that my device is bugged. Plus I just got the phone I’m typing on now three months ago, so it’s not old. I’ve gotten to the point where I have to type my comments elsewhere, and cut and paste them in. Please, if anyone has any information on these issues, it would be very greatly appreciated. This has become my main and only way I use PokeJungle, so if the issues persist, I may be forced to leave. . . Ah, who am I kidding, I won’t leave during prime SM info season. But if it does persist I’ll be on a lot less than I’d like, maybe once or twice a week. I can’t be the only one who has it this bad, right?

  10. I feel like we’re not getting the time to get to know the new Pokémon since they’re really spoiling us. I keep forgetting about all the new Pokémon because of the short time-lapse between every announcement. Is that weird?

    Reply
    • I feel that way as well. All of these pre-orchestrated reveals have been very impressive though, and it will be important for them to match this consistency in the future. I review the Pokemon page on the official site once a day or so to refresh my memory about what’s been announced.

      • Exactly, it’s amazing we get this much news but at the same time it’s hard to keep up. I sometimes freshen up my memory too.

          • it was more or less supposed to be because Haxford is attractive as heck. But like I’ll take it! Skull kid is the bomb. (also I was watching a video unrelated to MM while typing this and they used his laugh sound effect randomly and now I feel like Ive set some sort of demon free or something)

            edited because I goofed up a name the first time

    • I think you’ll get enough time when the game comes out. How exactly do you expect to get to know a Pokemon before you can even play with it in-game?

  11. I thought crabrawler was likely to have a pre-evolved form, but judging by it’s small size you’d think it would actually be the one to evolve…. That’s probably the case then, unless they’re pulling a Little Mac on us.

  12. Im trying to get the most out of HGSS and see all there is to see! There is alot to do at the pokeathelon! Lots of records to break, medals to win and even trophys! This is my 6th playthrough and Im still learning about these games!

    • School is starting, so I’m kinda busy, but when I can I’m still chugging through my platinum Nuzlocke. Just entered my favorite routes, the snowy ones.

  13. I feel like I’m the only here that thinks this, but I really do like the sand castle mons. It’s very cool how it disguises itself as a sand castle, and then swallows up its prey like quicksand.
