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!
Gladion reminds me of Girahim.
I also think there will be boats traveling around the region that may serve as shops or transportation. We see the same magikarp boat in two shots. Reminds me of the shop boats in Wind Waker.
I’m also wondering how time will function in the game. Will it be on an actual 24 hour system like past games? Or will time be faster than real time? This kinda affects which game I’ll make my hub. I don’t want it be night time whenever I’m trying to play and breed stuff.
His name does sound like Gladius, maybe he’s also a Sword!
Zelda crossover confirmed! 😛
I think his name is based off of Gladiolus, type of flower similar to how many other character’s name in these games are based off flowers.
Well Imma go, too tired since I got back from classes. TTYL till Coro Coro leaks XD
OMG OMG THIS IS AWESOME I LOVE THESE GAMES EVEN MORE NOW.
But I’m confused on what the heck an ultra beast is.. What is that?
Also, I’m like, 99% sure that gladion will be are “silver” or “blue” rival of the game, and I’m so happy about that.
Why do you think that about Gladion being your rival. Sorry but I don’t think so.
Not your rival rival but someone like Silver that is very tough and mean and you get to battle them!
I just realized… maybe Guzma is his dad! or Cool Uncle or something.
Hopefully uncle
He’s Grunkle Rick Sans
Yah!! That would be awesome. Btw, the gameplay in the Jap trailer is utterly gorgeous
I mean, he’s the enforcer for Team Skull so I think he’s more like past administrators in the other games rather than a rival
I imagine he’ll battle you more often than anyone else on Team Skull. Seems second rival-ish.
So like a nemesis?
Maybe.
well hau is Bianca/Shauna so…
Ultra beasts are apparently not pokemon as stayed by the official site. So as of right now we don’t know what they are
Probably game-exclusive bosses like the made-up pokemon in pokestudios in Gen V?
People? I mean heck, UB-01 looks exactly like Lillie so case closed XD
I’m going to have to buy an extra copy of Moon so I can play both. My sister is getting moon and I’m getting Sun. These just look so amazing. You almost forget they’re Pokémon games…
if lillie is UB01 I think she might be like Sari Sumdak from Transformers or the Prog twins from Ratchet and Clank into the nexus.
You know what would be cool? If Jangmo-o evolved into a Knight inspired Steel/Dragon type with Stance Change. Using it’s scales either as a shield or a sword.
I just want a steel/dragon type period. REALLY need it to balance the team I’, putting together.
The Time God Exists you know.
Yeah, but he gets banned in tower matches and the like. I want a more universal alternative, like Kingdra->Palkia. A defensive Dragon/steel is like THE type I need right now for balance
PLEEEEEAAASSSSE BE STEEL/DRAGON
It’s so obviously the pseudo and he’s definitely going on my team
Forgoyle maybe real.
Ok so I’m trying to wrap my head around the time differences.. Apparently in sun the time is like normal and controlled by the 3DS clock with the exception of specific scenes. However in Moon the time is shifted 12 hours. I assume it can be both day AND night in both games, but they don’t come right out and say it. They only ever show Moon at night to compare to Suns day…..Am I getting this right? lol
Moon is 12 hours ahead meaning our night it will be day there
So that would mean that time still goes on even after we close the game?
well duh, thats how it works now.
O, I suppose that’s true lol
Well yeah just like normal. Only in moon it’d count lets say 12 pm as 12 am rather than the reverse
Hm, well I guess I’ll play Sun first then so that my day is synched with it
its just our clock 12 hours ahead
It always has
You’re probably right. Moon is like an alternate dimension where the time is 12 hours ahead.
Yeah, seems to just be inverted, that’s all.
Oh boy. I am never seeing night time in Moon.
That’s the one thing. Now it’s basically the opposite problem if people play Moon. People that complained about always having to play at night due to their schedules lose their ability to play at night in Moon hahaha
Hmm. Y’all thought I was crazy back when the first PokeRide trailer came out. When the player rides a Tauros, there’s a Zygarde cell under the tree to the right, and that’s exactly what I speculated it to be. 🙂

I somewhat like Jangmo-o but I really hate the name
Im naming mine Susano, after the Japanese God of Storms and Yosukes Ultimate Persona and Susano from Okami
It has a Yugioh look and name feel
Well, I’m guessing Type: Null is the Eevee evolution of Gen 7.
Nah.
“The reason is that Type: Null was constructed to synthesize the strengths of various Pokémon, enabling it to adapt to any situation”. Every Eeveelutions mixed in 1 Pokémon.
you make a good point
I doubt that but it’s good speculation.
it would be Nulleon then.
okay guys I think it’s high time we need to pick a good name for cutiefly evolution! 😀
Bootyfly
we already have that, its called earthen.
Pixiefly
Cute and Cool Name.^v^
Pewdiefly
cool name 🙂
Peeweedidifly
o_o?
Look how happy Lusamine looks when UB-01 comes out, Lillie confirmed.
Maybe shes happy she opened a Portal Home? she could be an Eldrazi Herself.
She knows too much about what happened if they are dangerous creatures to be any sort of good as far as I’m concerned hahaha
Maybe they’re just trying to use Lillie as a way to draw it out, but Lillie didn’t want them to have it so she fled
Yeah there are some good theories being thrown around already, all the questions they have left unanswered just make me want the game now though!
I know! I’m so hyped. I wonder how all of these creatures are going to factor into the main storyline
It looks like it will be the most fulfilling Pokémon adventure in a loooooong time. People have mentioned the side quests and everything but all we know could be just a snippet of the whole game too! So much still to come and so much to learn and theorise about, I love it!
Me too! I’m really thinking these will be the best yet.
You think that’s the widest she can open her mouth or is she just one of those people that show enjoyment and happiness with little to no expression? lol
Either the angle or tiny mouth, we will see later I guess 😛
I’m guessing tiny mouth hahahaha #MyMouthIsTooSmall lol
I’d say so too 😛
Hau just looks like he doesn’t give af
Na man he’s terrified look at him hahaha
Doesn’t look like a smile.. her skin is SO white that you can’t really see her teeth making it an O face.
I’m really confused on what was even revealed. they said things, but didn’t reallt explain what they are or what they mean.
All in time. Almost two months left. They’ve gotta keep some surprises
Just like Math class
Website has details.
I think that’s why some people feel this reveal is a bit underwhelming. They tried a little too hard to make it mysterious when really it almost makes it a non-reveal. Look! Random People! Look! Ultrabeast! What’s an Ultrabeast!?… *Spooky ghost noise*
If they had revealed more people would complain that they were spoiling things. And anyway you can go on the site to get a bit more info on what was shown
I don’t know how true that is. You can make a trailer a bit more substantial without giving things away.
The Aether foundation gives me that “Team Flare counterpart” vibe
Yah me too
UB-01 has a great design just look how awesome it looks 😉

Bubble Buddyyyy
ELDRAZI!
this actually looks more like bewear…….
I can’t find the cutiefly evolution people are talking about. What time in the video is it? I see a yellow Oricorio

Thanks, I was looking at the wrong video
I think someone said something about UB-01 being from another universe/world, well, looking back on the trailer, I spotted something Lusamine said.
“Even Pokemon from distant worlds, far from the Alola region, are worthy of my love”
Explains the happy look when UB-01 appears in the trailer.
I still think AF created it, but I found something to talk about
I mean, my initial thought was that she was referencing non alolan form pokemon or guys from gen 1 via pokebank…
True, could be that too, or just Pokemon from other regions.
Just wanted to point it out regardless
Maybe they were looking for ways to summon pokemon from other worlds? And so they broke a barrier but something went wrong with Lillie during the process? Maybe UB-01 sort of imprinted on her and now it’s attracted to her aura or something
The Aether Foundation is so obviously evil.
I see them more as Amoral or Neutral, like anything for science or to protect these pokemon, Like the N faction of Plasma
Yup, calling it.
I knowwww. Not just “evil” evil either. Like “EVILLLLLL” evil.
How can it be evil when Ike’s the CEO..?
I still think they’re trying to go by the Mewtwo experiment only combine multiple pokemon DNA to create new ones. I heard something about jellyfish DNA being linked to a lot of different species too but I can’t help but think about the jellyfish boss from stitches ship in Kingdom Hearts BBS
The Aether Foundation are responsible for Type: Null and they built the artificial island, Aether Paradise.
I felt that Team Skull would end up helping us in the end…that’s certainly more plausible now with the Aether Foundation. I don’t even know what’s going on anymore, GameFreak just keeps throwing curveball after curveball and I love it. Sina and Dexio returning is also huge imo in terms of going back to Kalos. Why are they here, why do they want us to help search for Zygarde, is something wrong, did Olympia have a vision lmao.
I think they’re going to be made into reoccurring characters like Looker
No complaints here. I liked those two.
Did you see the Bastiodon in the trailer? ? Alolan Bastiodon coming?
I saw a Misdreavus and it doesn’t look different…
Who cares about that
I saw it get bodied by Sand Tomb
Yes. Two of my favorites competing against each other. Which Bastiodon is a really random Pokemon to have in a trailer. BYRON HAD ONE. SINNOH CONFIRMED
Wait, Sinnoh confirmed? You know what this means!?
SINNOH CONFIRMED
So do you think UB-01 and Type:Null will get real names over the course of the story? I don’t really want to have to call them that..
Type: Null’s name is being kept. UB-01, though, idk. It’s not even considered a “Pokemon”
It’s gotta be! I will accept nothing else! >:O
Type:Null may be the first Pokemon I’ll ever nickname :<
If those end up being their real names in the dex and everything…I’ll probably end up calling them Nullio and Oobi-one (kinda like Obi-wan xD)
It’s literally called “type: null” ?? I thought that was a type or something? You can’t call a fu king Pokemon that. What is that?
I was super confused when it popped up in the english trailer. I was like, “a new type???! Wait…but it says it’s normal type. WTF”
It’s an experimental Pokémon that was created to battle legendary creatures and complete a mission. It’s man-made. It’s a normal type that can adjust to environments.
No.
Type:null is a fitting name if you look at the description.
And UB-01 isn’t even a Pokémon.
It may be fitting, but it’s hardly a name.
Also, I guess we can confirm that Team Skull are literally memes. Guzma is doing Slav squats and Gladion is throwing out Jojo poses.
Gladion is kylo ren
There’s a lot more than Guzma memes 😉
I hope Alola pokemon aren’t exclusive to Kanto Pokemon and that they’re not revealing it till the games come out.
Someone said it earlier, but there’s a good chance jangmo-O will be a griffin. Those feathers/scales may turn out to be wings later on.
if its a griffin i will throw crabrawler off my team and put it there
I hope so! I want to fly on one
I want it to not be a Griffin out of the sheer asinine assumption
It’s a scaly dragon not a half eagle half lion mythical creature
We should have a Griffin but only done right
Steel/Dragon Griffin ?
