As announced last week today we’ve been treated to a megaton of new information for Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon! An all-new trailer has been released showcasing new Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, new mechanics and even more.
In addition to the English trailer, a Japanese trailer has been released containing some slightly different footage, though shares the same information.
New Information
- Ultra Beasts are revealed and don’t appear to be Pokémon as we know them
- Type: Null is a Normal-type Pokémon that has the ability Battle Armour. Type: Null is a synethtic Pokémon that was created to synthesize the strengths of various Pokémon, meaning it can adapt to any situation. The Pokémon’s mask is used to control it’s powers and also slows the Pokémon down
- Jangmo-o is a new Dragon-type Pokémon with the ability Bulletproof/Soundproof
- Alolan Raticate are Dark/Normal-type with Gluttony/Hustle for their ability
- Pokémon Sun & Moon are set 12 hours apart from one another, meaning certain events in the games will play out differently
- The Aether Foundation are a new group in Sun & Moon
- Lusamine is President of the foundation, Faba is a Branch Chief and Wicke is an Assistant Branch Chief
- Gladion is Team Skull’s Enforcer
- The Zygarde Cube is an item given to players that allows you them collect Zygarde Cores and Cells across the Alola region
- Poké Finder allows you to take photos of Pokémon using your Rotom Pokédex
- UB-01 is an Ultra Beast
That’s all that has been officially revealed in the trailers, though we invite our readers to discuss and speculate in our comment section below!
these ultra beasts are something straight out of lovecraft lore and I love it. its bloodborne all over again!
Alchemy stuff and playing with genetics.
wth is wrong with Lusamine hair ???
It’s too fabulous for this world

Maybe UB-01 can shapeshift and made itself look like Lillie.
That’s been the topic of the morning lol
Shapeshifting? It would seem I missed the boat on that discussion lol
its made of glass too
but will it blend?
I doubled back on thinking that she IS UB01, when I realized how freaky it be to catch and use her on your team. That’s some NG Evangelion nightmare fuel right there. Judging by her white outfit seeming similar to the Aether guys, who I’m thinking are the real bad guys here, I wanna say some kinda gene splicing happened and that UB has some essence of Lillie in it, hence the look. I’d be like if they tried to make Mewtwo using only half of Mew and filled in the rest with a human, resulting in a Mewtwo X looking thing.
I know this is a dumb question, but you can still play Sun at night and Moon during the day, right? If not, that would be so retarted!
I think so, I think Pokemon Sun is just 12 hours ahead of Pokemon moon.
Moon is 12 hours ahead while sun follows ur internal clock
Oooooooh ok makes sense it’s a bit confusing.
that thing is so clearly lillie it hurts.
Well now it makes sense why Lillie hates to battle
Yasss I love the dragon type Pokemon. Glad GF redeemed themselves after releasing that abortion dradaddy.
The disgusting trash that is Drampa?
Yes dradaddy is low key tragic. But I still use it for some reason
why to call type: null a pokemon that is actually a normal type?
As for these ultra beast. So now we have creatures in the Pokemon universe that ARENT Pokemon? I hope Pokemon is cutting yugioh a check https://media.giphy.com/media/7p7vVjT2rTUty/giphy.gif (rf)
So, the jelly fish thing isn’t a Pokemon BTW?
I would almost say synthetic DNA/HumanXPokemon stuff going on. Kinda like Mewtwo but darker.
I’m so confused. So, can you Pokemon Sun in-game at night and Pokemon Moon in-game during the day or not? If not, I might have to cancel my pre-order.
It means that Sun runs off your 3DS’ game time whereas Moon runs 12 hours in front/behind. Still cycles like normal, just Moon is 12 hours behind.
yes! each game has a day/night cycle just Moon is 12 hours ahead so our days will be its nights
Okay. Now I get it. That’s still a little bit retarted.
I think the main difference is that certain events will be in day for Sun and night for Moon. Just to spice things up I guess lol
Stupid rumors are verifying now. Ugh.
I feel like the leak that talked about the day and night system was already more or less confirmed(at least partly) true by having Oricorio correct as well as Alolan forms?
Edited (didn’t see the pic lol)
Has this been discussed yet? It’s obviously a bird, but it doesn’t look like anything we’ve seen, to my knowledge. It’s also worth noting that all the other Pokemon on this building are Water types.
Looks like Pom Pom Oricorio to me lol
I don’t think so. Oricorio doesn’t have the space around the eyes, and the feathers are placed in different locations. Besides, its typing doesn’t make sense for the rest of the building.
Well idk….hahaha
I love the new Pokemon type:null. It’s dark and edgy. It seems like Pokemon is pandering to their 99% adult fsnbase for once instead of the 1% kiddies and toddlers
I like that you used the term edgy XD
earlier gens were full of cool looking pokemon, they started the whole cutie rounded pokemon with XY and it seems that alola region is suffering from an excess amount of cute pokemon
“While evidence of something like a survival instinct can be observed in UB-01, no one knows whether it has a will of its own or any emotions. It’s said that, for some reason, its movements resemble those of a young girl.”
well i guess we know who that is
Type:null is awesome and should be given a unique ability fitting it’s description
That Dragon is our new pseudo probably
Loving the Aether Foundation,by that I mean Lusamine :p
Ultra beasts mean a bigger focus on story, and sunmoon further strays from the formula.
Ub-01 is Lillie?
so Yungoos and Alolan Rattata version exclusives?
Edit
I’d be willing to bet that you can get both in one game. It’s just that the Totem is version exclusive.
and day/night
Well yeah and they’d be exclusives to the time of day rather than which game you have lol
it doesn’t look like they are either bosses exclusives. They seem to be just time exclusives. So for example maybe in moon you will fight raticate just because Moon is 12hours from sun and this looks like an early boss battle but if you wait till real night then in moon will be day and you will find yungoos
Omg.. going to best game ever!
The ultra beast looks like the mysterious girl with prof..
And I’m 99% sure the people who hand zygarde catcher are the “heros” from xy
Yeah, that’s them, Dexio and Sina. I legit forgot they even existed up until about 3 days ago.
And the Dragon is so cool! I may catch it… Don’t think I have anything with Dragon as first typing.. hmm
Already confirmed they’re Dexio and Sina
I just got here -,-
Alolan Raticate is so pudgy and cute I love it
currently we have:
– 54 new Pokemon (including evolutions of the starters, Rockruff, Pikipek & Cutiefly, and assuming that there are 3 more guardians)
– 10 Alolan Forms
– 1 Ultra Beast
<3
The characters who gave the protagonist the zygarde cube looks like an adult Dexio and Sina from Kalos.
I think that’s who they are lol
It’s listed on the website that they are
I can’t figure out how to work the site 75% of the time
It explicitly says “Dexio” in the English trailer, and both in the Japanese one…
I had to look up who they were 😛
I think I only visited Sycamore’s lab once.
I’m actually compelled to play Pokemon Moon during daytime to experience the glorious night time ambience. I hate that tbh.
I’m still confused on the fucking day and night system change. It sounds so retarted. I hope that we can just have an option to turn that off. And idk, play NORMALLY!
All it really is is that Sun will be based on your 3DS clock, while Moon is 12 hours ahead or behind that clock.
If you want ‘normal’, get Sun.
it’s honestly not even that complicated at all. Important events during the story are going to happen in the day in Sun version and will happen at night in Moon version. That’s pretty much it. It gives the game the proper feel, why would you play Moon version when it’s day time 24/7
its not that confusing and doesn’t effect sun version. only moon, which will have night and day reversed. also, “retarded”.
triggered
tell me about it, I have a mentally handicapped sister that I adore and the term gets used way too frequently by insensitive people. but hey, he didn’t know that so I don’t blame him.
sorry to hear that :/
it’s for that reason why, even though I admittedly enjoy trolling a bit here on PJN and on the internet in general, I try to avoid using controversial terms and words because you never know what the person on the other side of the screen is going through.
honestly i respect you alot more now
thanks ho
most people that have been around PJN for a while know me and know that I’m usually trolling around with people, but newer people may think I’m kind of a jerk lel
yea. remember ive been here since 2013. GovnahSkiddo lol if that wasnt obvious.
im glad to see you never changed
>:(
They can’t hide from their problems though.
The problems will be there whether they take offence at what people say in passing or not.
moon- 12 hours ahead because they want u to experience the version more at night.
Sun- Same as your 3ds clock.
Moon is meant to be played at night since it is a moon version, all major events will be at night instead of day,
Cycle is still the same just one game is 12 hours ahead
Break break down.
did anyone notice the zygarde hexagons on type null’s er.. collar?
Alright, now that I had time to think about this, here’s my revised theory.
Lusamine has a daughter and a son (or all of them could be sibilings, point is there are related). Lillie and Gladion. AF are working on making Ultra Beasts for reasons. UB-01 takes a liking to Lillie and learns to mimic her. Because of this, Lillie has second thoughts and leaves, becoming Kukui’s assistant to maybe find someone to help her stop her mother.
Gladion, meanwhile, had a change of heart as well, but had a different approach. He joined Team Skull so he could use them to stop his mother. He obviously has similar thoughts to Lillie, as shown in the scene where he says that you shouldn’t battle him as your Pokemon will get hurt. He pauses after that statement and closes his eyes. He doesn’t want to do that, but knows he has to in order to fulfill his future goal.
Sorry for spamming theories, but I’m really excited and my theory brain is on overdrive. I’ve always been a person that wants to guess what will happen next in media. Usually I’m wrong, but it doesn’t stop me from doing it.
Seems legit.
I’m guessing your character in Moon has some condition that makes them want to avoid direct sunlight ?
Are they connected?
yep.
Siblings ahoy.
Either that or Hitler refounded the Aryan foundation.
