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!
I think we can all agree that Jangmo-o is probably the pseudo-legend this time around. I can see it having some absolutely badass evolutions.
Right I agree! Possibly gaining another type through evolution.
I Was just about to write that even wimpod is the real pseudo
I can see it becoming a gargoyle
Ultra-Beasts? Type: Null? And 2013 me thought Megas were wild.
If Pokemon Moon is always night time i’m going to be really dissapointed
It will be night during the day time Irl
If Pokemon Sun is always day time I’m going to be really disappointed
Always night >>>
I’ll be dissapointed with both tbh but i was getting Moon first
It will be night during the day. It’s a 12 hour difference between the new games!
When you thought Type: Null was a new type…
I was really confused
it was clearly stated to be a Normal Type
The name appeared before the type!
then immediately following was its type
before they revealed it was a pokemon they showed its name earthen.
yes THEN they shown the specs
It’s like the second coming of Arceus…
Get it?
The Japanese trailer has so much more stuff in it… like places… and Hau attempting to date the Aether foundation pres but is rejected… (jk)
i wouldn’t blame him
in all fairness though half of the stuff of the Japanese trailer was old material we got weeks ago.
“UB-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”
UB-01 description
“YOUNG GIRL?!?!? LILLIE GET OVER HERE
JELLEHFEESH
Ultra beasts are likely something specific to this game, much like the movie monsters in BW. Not real Pokemon but artificial ones like some have speculated.
Type: null is a dumb name. At first I thought they were introducing another type. He’s way over designed and still shrouded in mystery. There’s something special about it and I don’t know what.
Dragon: cute. Pseudo legend for sure.
I would love for the Aether’s foundation to be creating ultra beasts. Maybe with some connections to Team Rocket and Mewtwo? Maybe an explanation for its Mega Stones?
Soooooooooo…….Lillie…….looks an awful lot like them Aether peeps……..makes you wonder don’t it? lol
and the new team skull member
and the jellyfish
Type Null is a dope ass Pokemon.
Victor:i better get out for here before David and Earthen get here!
*Casts Stone Grip*
*Dirt and Stone cling to your ankles and root you in place*
Victor: O-o;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; um *glup* h-hi guys.
David: hello Victor >:)
I am getting sun if gumshoos is a version exclusive
I love Ultra Beasts SOOO much. They’re even more elusive than Legendaries, they’re like multidimensional gods. I thought this game couldn’t get any better.
Maybe something to do with the “multi-dimensions” that were mentioned in ORAS?
Dimensions? Sinnoh Confirmed?
BATTLE DIMENSION, POKEMON
Well sinnoh does have the Space Time and Antimatter Pokemons.
That would make sense given it appears to be emerging from something like a wormhole. Maybe their pokemon from different dimensions?
The concept is definitely interesting!
I’m feeling kind of iffy, though. It almost seems too unPokemon, if that makes sense. xD
And the odd names are throwing me for a loop.
Type: Null? xD
reminds me of those robots in Pokestar Studios.
Mostly likely it was an experiment to create a pokemon with a Null type that could take on the Characteristics of other pokemon typings and be able to basically reflect them back. Type: Null that is.
if you think about it, it makes sense, if you have read the description for it, it being a synthetic pokemon practically created with other parts of pokemon to adapt to almost anything around it, then its alot like mewtwo, i mean hey mewtwo is literally mew with a 2 on the end. so why not type: Null?! :p though i think it would of been better if they had just called it Null. would of been less confusing and easier to remember. what i wanna know is if it taakes another form, since its description tells us that the helmet keeps its powers under control and slows it down since its heavy, what if that was taken of, ripped off? broken? that would make it 1000x stronger than it actually is. another thing, i dont get why its a normal type, looks more like a dark/steel type to me but thats just my opinion xD
One hundred percent agree I am so hyped!
Watch them being uncatchable! So.. not real Pokémon xD
I hope they don’t do that. I know they had pokestar exclusive mons (or props whatever), but that sucked lol imo
The Ghost in Gen 1 reminder me about Ultra Beasts or PokéStar Studios monsters….
Someone even mentioned Mom-Ghost Marowak in Gen I. Let’s hope they don’t.
Aether Foundation designs is out of this world. Next level fabulous
Gladion story
“i left my parents at ather because they didnt understand me, Screw the old people REBEL!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I love it
GameFreak threw the rule book out the window with SuMo.
so no one is gonna care to notices, Rotom uses Emoticons and memes?
i gotta say these were amazing!! the ONLY thing i dislike is alolan raticate……like what is that?! its now a fat black rat with chubby cheeks -___- but on a good note, the best pokemon i like in these trailers is definitely that cute dragon, already forgot its name xD im terrible haha! still its adorable as hell!!
it is even uglier than the standard raticate
^this
Is Type: Null an Ultra Beast? I didn’t see any indication of that in the English trailer, nor on the site, where it’s put under Pokemon, while UB-01 is put on a separate page
Uhhh, they REALLY should not have shown UB01…that thing looks like a massive spoiler.
We don’t even know what it is… It looks like Lillie but Ash-Greninja looks like ash as well… And Ultra Beast(S) implies there’s more than one
True, true. It’d be a nice twist, but then I suddenly realized the horrific implications of if that thing really is Lillie. You could potentially be catching her and tossing her into the PC box, never to be seen again!
So Lillie is UB-01…
‘t’s said that, for some reason, its movements resemble those of a young girl.’
“A device that turns you into a Pokemon, would anybody want that?”
I think that’s a huge jump to conclusion
jangmo-o is psudeo legendary.
Calling it
Same, I hope it becomes awesome lol
Its mine and mine alone. Anybody else who catches is will answer to me!
I need a moment to process everything bruh… Also some of the negativity here is just -___-….
I wonder if the ultra beast was like, a jellicent attempted to be brought over to another dimension. Like the other universes?
like Ghost from Reborn?
