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!
my mind is breaking

IT HAS A WITTLE SCARF
OMG I WANT IT
what? where is this from?
japanese trailer
SO CUTE
you took shady’s spotlight 🙁
GAME FREAK STOP REVEALING AWESOME POKEMON I CAN ONLY CATCH 6
While you can actually catch as many as you want, you can only use 6 at a time…
It looks strange from that angle
Aww, super cute1 Definitely going to catch it! I’m assuming the evolved form of Cutiefly is Prettybug or Adorabug, Or Beauty-Wait that was already a pokemon name wasn’t it?
SO HELP ME….if that thing is pink or purple in Shiny form…..I WILL cry tears of joy. <3
Cutiefly evo has a little scarf. 0o0
Where do you see it’s evo?!?!
refresh. its in the post below this from Xatu
HOLLYYYYY THE BEAST 01 LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE LILLIE WAS THIS THE MYSTERY??!?!!
OH MY GOD :O!!!!!! YOU MAY BE ON TO SOMETHING!!!
Pokemon.com’s description also mentions its movements matching a “Young Girl”. HELLO! I think we may have a hint as to who our mystery girl is.
“It matches a young girl”… Ash-Greninja and Ash’s movements match as well… Perhaps this might be something similar to synchro? I don’t think Lillie is the actual pokemon… But her DNA May have been used to make it
It is her, now that you come to mention it. But from the way it came out of the portal, makes me think this might have some connections to Giratina. Of the legendary trios in Sinnoh.
So.. Sina and Dexio are here…
well this trailer wasn’t worth it
nothing good except failed Experiments
thats so mean.
It was more worth it than the crap that revealed Mudsdale
Mudsdale is a failed experiment now
oh please Mudsdale is a champ
Nah m8. It’s a horse.
Well….I’m confused. ?__?
I’ll always be a diehard Pokemon fan, and I’m hyped after the trailer today, but am I the only one feeling like Pokemon’s jumping the shark? First mega evolutions, ok fine. Then Z-Moves, not a huge fan but I’m down. Now Ultrabeasts? What’s next? Super-Duper-Mega-Ultra-Cool-Metamorphosis?
English https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFbMGKvN6ts
are you a mod?
Y?
so i alolan dragonite basically deconfirmed?
I would say at this point yes. That footage was in full game so it’s not like you could say it was a simulation this time lol
so arcanine is too since its on the same section as dragonite on the japan website
UB-01 is just like something from the SCP Foundation. Awesome idea.
I was thinking that! you follow the SCP? its a great read.
I absolutely adore Jangmo-o and Type: Null. The Aether Foundation is basically a source of good. Lille is totally a part of them. The cutscenes in S/M look outstanding. Lastly, what rumour said that time will work differently in the game?
It was another 4chan leak I think
Type:Null might be that one that has a different type based on breeding?
That was supposed to be a cat though…
Btw that new Dragon type is a must have for me
Same! And I strongly dislike dragon types
I want it aswell!! Well, depending on its evo I guess..
Pseudo legendary of this gen.
I’m down with that
Japanese trailer shows cutieflys evolution!!!
really where?!
WAIT…..does anyone else notice the STRIKING similarities in both dress and physical appearance between Lillie and this Aether Foundation President?!?!
Even their ideals seem to be similar…..
And Gladion, perhaps?
Type: Null
CATEGORY Synthetic Pokémon
TYPE Normal
HEIGHT 6’03”
WEIGHT 265.7 lbs.
ABILITY Battle Armor
This Pokémon wearing a mask has been dubbed “Null,” meaning nothing.
The shapes of its front and hind legs are clearly different. The reason is that Type: Null was constructed to synthesize the strengths of various Pokémon, enabling it to adapt to any situation.
The mask fitted to Type: Null’s head is a piece of equipment designed to control its latent powers. It’s extremely heavy, so it also serves to hinder Type: Null’s agility.
To complete a certain mission, there was need of a Pokémon powerful enough to rival those Pokémon often spoken of in mythology.
is null a new type?
No, that’s its name
Ik its a joke
😉
Something about the Aether Foundation doesn’t sit well with me. It’s all the white, I swear.
Also, Lillie is an Ultra-Beast calling it now.
Yeah, characters dressed in white head to toe tend to be either doctors or classy villains. They don’t seem to be doctors.
angmo-o
CATEGORY Scaly Pokémon
TYPE Dragon
HEIGHT 2’0″
WEIGHT 65.5 lbs.
ABILITY Bulletproof/Soundproof
Jangmo-o has the pride of a warrior, although it remains humble about its capabilities. In its pursuit to become stronger, it never neglects its training.
Because Jangmo-o uses the scales on its head for both offense and defense, it never turns its back to its enemies. Many Trainers see this behavior and take it as proof that Jangmo-o is a valiant Pokémon.
Jangmo-o gather in harsh locales like canyons, where no other people or Pokémon are around, to live together as they train.
dont start
it’s my duty
You missed a J
Gladion is totally the brother of lillie.
he also shops at hot topic
I mean, can you blame him? They have awesome t-shirts
they both look like they’re related to lusamine.
Alolan Raticate
CATEGORY Mouse Pokémon
TYPE Dark/Normal
HEIGHT 2’04”
WEIGHT 56.2 lbs.
ABILITY Gluttony/Hustle
Because urban areas are their main habitat, their diet is higher in calories than ordinary Raticate. As a result, they have become hefty.
Alolan Raticate prefers to eat only fresh fruits and high-class ingredients. There are rumors that a certain top-notch restaurant takes advantage of Alolan Raticate’s taste buds by bringing it along when choosing ingredients to buy, and having it taste test new dishes.
Alolan Raticate continually stockpile huge amounts of food in their nests. They mostly prefer to send out Alolan Rattata to gather food while they themselves stay home in their nests and just eat.
Alolan Raticate is the Totem Pokémon of the trial that takes place in Verdant Cavern on Melemele Island in Pokémon Moon.* It summons Rattata to help it confront those who take on the trial.
*Gumshoos appears as the Totem Pokémon in Verdant Cavern in Pokémon Sun.
The japanese trailer is way more intense than the english… But wtf?
I dont know what to think of the ultra beasts…. Im getting the feeling this game is going to have a great story…. And a lot of quests. More like an story based rpg niiiiiiiceee
And here I was, about twenty minutes ago, waiting and hoping for a Pokémon Snap Game for 3DS after the Sun & Moon release; … and what do we get? Something very similar! Kudos to you, GameFreak!
And even more Side Quests (Zygarde Core Search)? This is
going to be so awesome!
I think Lillie is Aether’s leader’s daughter. Maybe we’ll get a sort of N-Ghetsis dynamic
and her brother is Gladion
A mysterious presence threatens the Alola region—Ultra Beasts!
In the Alola region, rumors are flying about mysterious creatures known as Ultra Beasts. Ultra Beasts possess mighty powers and could pose a threat to humans and Pokémon, so they are feared.
It appears that the Aether Foundation is also conducting research on these Ultra Beasts.
According to rumor, multiple Ultra Beasts exist, each of them called by a code name.
UB-01
B-01’s body is composed of a glass-like substance. However, it’s constantly changing shapes, never settling on one.
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.
this is considered plagiarizing now 😉
bite me
can’t you knocked out my teeth
then it’s easier to say “sit and spin”
IT’S LILLIE
