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!
Could they make Missingo an Ultra-Beast?
best idea ive seen so far
I agree, best idea ever
I’m really happy about all the new people we have! It’s clear that this story will be bigger than any other we’ve had. With so many people interacting and having specific roles I think this could one of the greatest Pokemon games out there if not THE best lol
Everybody thinks its lillie. but really it s resembles a jigglypuff seen from above….
So am I to assume that UB-01 is connected to Lillie somehow?
Ub-01 is lillie
don’t make an ass of yourself
I love asses
we all do but you don’t want to be an ass
Megaman Gives 7 Asses.
I kinda hate the new trailer BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE STARTERS!!!!!!!!!!!
So let me guess, in this you can actually ‘make’ your own pokemon?
If it’s not a sign for the company to falter over it’s own succeed then I dunno what is?
Although it might be fun and original. If Mario Maker could work, then why not this?
wrong wrong wrong
scope this
“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.”
it was created to fight legends
well i gotta go get ready for stupid dumb work
I got a theory. Sure, it’s connecting what other people said, but I wanna bunch it all into one thing and make my own conclusions.
Lillie is a Ultra-Beast disguised as a human. But she has a ‘brother’. Gladion. He’s also an Ultra Beast. And Lusamine is their ‘mother’ (maybe an Ultra Beast herself, who knows)
Or, at the very fact, Lillie is one. She’s the one who’s the more mysterious one. Maybe Lusamine has a real son, Gladion, who rebelled and went to Team Skull. Wanting to feel like a mother again, she makes Lillie.
All I know is that Lillie was nowhere in that Aether Foundation gameplay, and I feel it’s important.
I think Lillie might be like Sari from Transformers Animated… look it up… its complicated…
Ultra Beasts definitely have something to do with Lillie’s secret.
I feel like the trailer was slightly underwhelming this time.
Honestly, it’s because we’ve been used to getting tons of new Pokemon. xD
It’s very good that this time though, they focused on giving us much more about story elements and features, rather than just more new Mons.
im sexy
can somebody remove his ass….
*Revs up a chainsaw*
the whole thing or just individual cheeks
first time I’m saying this to you: whatever u like/ want
Sun and Moon’s story deeper than BW/2 confirmed?
Well, duh, since XY and ORAS stories somehow bleed into the story of SuMo
Sun and Moon will be for Diamond and Pearl as well
Definitely confirmed lol. A HELLUVA LOT DEEPER!
UB-01 looks a helluva lot like Lillie
Type:Null is classified as a Pokemon on the website whereas UB-01 isn’t. Null=artificial Pokemon created by Aether, calling it now.
Well it would be the 4th Artificial Pokemon Ever.
Anyone else notice that its Dexio and Sina who give you the Zygarde Cube?
They were Sycamore’s assistants in XY yes?
They were, which makes me think that there must be more Kalos connections than we thought
Does this mean Sun/Moon and X/Y are going to be connected?
I never doubted that possibility anyway
It would certainly seem so, in more ways than just Zygarde….They could have had anyone give you it for reasons, but the fact they brought back characters from X/Y is interesting
I’m so down for exploring Kalos post-game
If that doesn’t confirm that XY’s story will somehow be continued/expanded upon, I don’t know what will
Type:Null is a dumb name though but nice design
its different
horrible name for an even edgier version of absol
It’s a chimera pokemon.
When I first saw it on the trailer, I thought it was its type. Then got confused because it says normal also
Null means nothing, it has no primary typing it seems, although in the trailer it was Normal typing but it might be Alola’s Ditto.
Yeah but i can see younger/new players being confused with a pokemon called Type while learning about types
People think that Lillie is the Ultra beast. I tend to agree lol
why hau look like he want that but he know he cant have it

Omg hahahaha He defintilely looks like he’s interested in her lol
She looks similar to Cynthia, I wonder if she knows her.
He’s too young to tap it.
Doesn’t stop him from trying, apparently xD
Me but with Hala and Wulfric
No idea, read the Japanese text and it seems to be unrelated to this scene. Probably after UB-01 leaves or something..
Type: Null is something you’d see in Twilight Princess
can we catch these utra beasts?
It would be a bit uncomfortable if UB-01 = Lillie 🙂
NYARGH
cya i gotta go, don’t have any free thinking conversations
so im officially done with pokemon

O_o
this makes all too much sense
eh…..lol
SCREAMINGGG
Gumshoos: Make Alola Great Again
Alola Raticate: Bring in more Kalos Refugees
Which would you prefer?
Alolan Raticate hides emails in its cheeks
Lol
This is topical
You know what…I like it lol
I’m literally crying lmaooo! If this was Gamefreak’s intention, (I know it almost certainly wasn’t but still, mayhaps), then I love them even more lol
It would have made more sense with Governor Christie though.
if only he was a democrate.
If he had been a Dem and the party nominee, this would have been perfect lol.
I’m getting really invested in those kids from the Japanese trailers…..I’m so happy they made up!!!!! lol
Wait wait….HOLD THE HELL UP… Aether Foundation…??? Aether… Wether is deeply connected to alchemy… OH MY GOD LOCKSTIN *MIGHT* ACTUALLY BE RIGHT
Well less his theory is right, and more that this game has themes of alchemy in it, which was already known between litten having the alchemic symbol for sulfur on its face and solgaleo being the literal lion devouring the sun. His theory on the series coming to an end is just another dime a dozen theory of pokemon ending. We get these every generation, though I’ll admit he’s put in a lot more effort then most do in it.
Lmao imagine thinking Pokemon will end after gen 7. Only fools would think that
So since we’re all making guesses as to Lillie’s connection to UB-01, i’ll throw my hat in I guess. I’m guessing they have a relationship similar to Maria and Shadow. Given the 01 part of its name its safe to assume that it was the first one to be discovered. Also given Lillie’s appearance being all white, pale skin and green eyes, its likely shes connected to this new group. Perhaps she’s the child, or sibling of the president and as a young child she came into contact with 01 and managed to befriend it, or something to that degree. I think we’re really jumping to gun to assume that she’s a pokemon.
That could be it too.
I’m definitely sure on the connection between Lillie, Lusamine, and Gladion. Al three having similar features just screams it.
I think she might be like sari from transformers animated…
or the prog twins from rqtchet and clank
Read it, and I think the same.
RIght now, I can see a whole bunch they can do with this info, so anything’s possible at this point.
I’m not invested in anything I think about, it’s just pure speculation and theories that could be true or not.
Exactly… Everyone just saying “Lillie is UB-01” like they know… It’s too soon
Anything’s possible at this point though. It’s too soon either way, it’s just speculation.
I would think it’s also a massive fake out…
I mean if the prez could be Lillie’s mom…
But I’ve already got 12 pages of fanfiction saying otherwise! That can’t be wrong, can it!?
