The Official Pokémon site has just updated with information for Pokémon Sun & Moon. The update contains details on the new Ultra Beasts announced in CoroCoro earlier this week.
New Information
- Official artwork of UB-02 Beauty and UB-02 Absorption released
- Screenshots of the two new Ultra Beasts in action
- UB-02 Absorption will appear in Pokémon Sun, the Ultra Beast’s entire body is covered in muscle and punch using the full power of it’s muscle strength is said to be immeasurable. UB-02 Absortpion also uses it’s “harder than diamond” probiscus to attack
- UB-02 Beauty will appear in Pokémon Moon. The Ultra Beast is said to attract Pokémon regardless of gender, though it is unclear how it does this. UB-02 Beauty is capable of extreme speeds and can move fast enough to avoid lightning strikes
More Pokémon Sun & Moon news will be released on September 20th at the same time as today: 9am EDT, 6am PDT, 10pm JST, 3pm CEST and 2pm BST.
NEW! The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel has just updated with a new trailer showcasing the new Ultra Beasts. They are known as UB-02 Absorption and UB-02 Beauty in English.
Why not pay a visit to our forums, or even come along have a chat?
so the starters different evolution forms will be version exclusive them?
Assuming there will be different forms. Literally uneducated speculation
And here we go again with more whining and complaining about lack of info, yet the games are coming out in two months and four days. Just be thankful we have new Pokemon games coming out this year!
We stopped that awhile ago though, for one. Two, in that moment, most of us were disappointed that they promised news and not much happened, considering when they promise news on a certain date, we get a trailer and updates to the official sites. And three, this was all last minute and we were all shocked by it.
Believe me, we’re all thankful that they are coming out and we cannot wait. But you gotta admit, it’s a bit disappointing for this to happen when certain people had to suspend their work/school or wake up to see the news and we only get pictures.
To be fair this was only really supposed to be info shown in Corocoro. Had it not leaked this would be news. So I would warn against getting your hype too high for the news on the 20th as that is likely to just be about Lugarugan
Oh, I didn’t have high hopes for today anyways. Just in-game footage of most of the stuff from CoroCoro. And maybe a little bit of extra stuff. You definitely don’t need to tell me about that 🙂
But I do believe next week will have more than just Lugarugan. I just don’t expect too much, so I’ll be content with anything.
I see it this way.. if no one actually scanned the CoroCoro magazine, we can at least see this information being revealed in the Japanese site. I mean, we weren’t meant to see the magazine if we ain’t buying one in Japan.
well,look on the bright side,at least we got some cool artworks of the two new Ultra Beasts.
Yea. The same ones that were in Corocoro.
To be fair Corocoro leaked. They planned for us to get these before Corocoro came out.
i’m making a shiny for Type:Null Should I edit the mask too or leave it be?
I’d say leave it because it’s not part of the Pokemon. Like Flabebe’s flower.
Alrighty. thanks. idk what to do with this thing lol, so many colors
How about for the green hexagons you do something like light purple?
What color replaces green on shiny Zygarde? I think the hexagons are supposed to represent Zygarde in some way.
Oh ok
the mask is only the brown parts right?
I think so. I’d have to see it to say for sure though, and I don’t really have the time to look for it. :p
I bet you’d all be the same if they gave us ‘nothing’ when the games are only a week away hahaha!

This is what Sherhood (Rowlet’s final evolution) reminds me of
If there is going to be different final evolutions for the starters depending on the time of day, I think the other one should be based on that. The day one. (Sorry if my english is a little bit off I’m Finnish)
The night one could be the archer that was leaked.
Grass/Flying
Day is Grass/Ground
Don’t worry, your English is better than most native English speakers. 🙂
Why thank you. 🙂
This was a letdown; i was distracted from my schoolwork because of this…
alright guys,the 14th didn’t tell us any trailer,but there’s still hope we still have the 20th,I bet they’re going to be giving us an ultimate all-time trailer full of Pokemon will never seen before,there’s still a chance for some of them to redeem themselves after given us the weight table.
Yeah I’ll just keep my hopes up for 20th. I hope they reveal the starter evolutions, show Rockruff’s evolutions in game and reveal their types. I also want to know if the two evolutions are version exclusive (for sure). New Alola forms and pokemon would also be cool.
Also this is the pokemon 20th anniversary and the news will drop on the 20th day. Mind. Blown.
that’s the spirit, while we wait until the 20th for some more Pokemon sun and moon news, I’m going to do my job and collect all the Pokemon from Generation 1 to 6. 😀
I’ve already done that in X. Well I only collected the pokemon needed for the shiny charm so no Keldeo or some crazy event pokemon.
I’m going to collect all the Pokemon from Generations 1 through 6 in Omega Ruby!
If the starters Evo are real, I think Litten and Popplios are the best ones….
Any official artwork of Rockruff’s evolution?
Coro Coro maybe
But I can’t read Japanese, I wish the Pokemon site would tell us. It’s not even really new info on the internet thanks to Coro Coro.
Still have news after anime tomorrow 🙂
Maybe same thing
Geez, I didn’t get my hopes up but I still managed to get disappointed… Well done, Gamefreak, woke up early for absolutely nothing…
Riiiiiight!
I hate September 14 now!
Hey so I need some help from those who are experienced with the gen 4 remakes of HeartGold. Mind helping my team, I usually go for a solid Electric (used by my personal favorite Pokemon, Pikachu) Fire, Water, Grass, and Flying types as a staple with the teams I make, and so far for Heart Gold its this:
-Pikachu {Electric} [Nature: Lonely] Thunderbolt, Shock Wave, Iron Tail, Thunder Wave Hold Item: Light Ball
-Tysphlosion {Fire} [Nature: Rash] Lave Plume, Thunder Punch, Flamethrower, Eruption
Hold Item: Charcoal
-Crobat {Poison/Flying} [Nature: Jolly] Cross Poison, Poison Fang, Areal Ace, Confuse Ray (Mean Look at some moments to get the 3 beasts).
Hold Item: Poison Barb or Black Sludge
-Heracross {Bug/Fighting} [Nature: Adamant] Brick Break, Close Combat, Bulk Up, Mega Horn
Hold Item: Black Belt
As you can see, I need help deciding on a grass and water type, but I do have an odd pet-peeve, that being aside from a Pikachu, I normally only use the “new” pokemon of that region. So if anyone can help me choose what a good Johto Water and Grass type are it’d be great, or any Johto Pokemon too. Thanks 😀
-P.S. Sorry for the text wall.
Ehh Water Type definitely Lanturn and Grass Type I’d say Victreebel
Not many new grass types in Johto (aside from Meganium), you’ve got Sunflora, Bellossom, and Jumpluff. For water, there’s Lanturn, Octillery, Qwilfish, Quagsire, Mantine (HG), Corsola, Slowking, and Kingdra.
Sunflora is literally thrash. Poor excuse for a Grass type
TBH I was originally gonna use Meganium as I liked it a lot g=design wise, and if I choose a good nature, maybe get one of its stats up to at least 100. The good thing is that Johto has a good fire type in Houndour and Houndoom. I may do a small edit/ update in a moment with that idea in mind after I finish the anime I am watching XD
Houndoom is a great replacement for Typhlosion in HG, one of the few useable Dark types in the game too, unless you can wait to get Larvitar.
It’s cute, but that’s it. I’ve always picked Chikorita, so I’ve never tried one. I’d probably overlevel a Bellossom if I didn’t have Meganium.
Yes if you wanna stick to region-natives Bellossom and Chikorita are your only options. I usually go for Bellsprout if I dont pick the Grass starter because Victreebel is actually a viable Pokemon.
Victreebel is great, also when it follows you it’s pretty funny 🙂
I think Quagsire is the best of the water types here, and you don’t have a ground type yet. It is 4x weak to grass, but electricity, rocks, fire, and fighting types don’t hurt it much at all.
Are you able to trade evolve? Kingdra or Slowking are pretty great if you can. Otherwise I’d go with Quagsire or Azumarill, even without Fairy type it still has Huge Power. Unless you don’t mind having 2 electrics, in which case Lanturn is great. For Grass you get Bellosom, Jumpluff or Sunflora, unless you can get Meganium I think one of the first 2 is better, my pick would be Bellosom. If you still don’t have a ground type consider getting a Swinub, you can evolve it to Mamoswine which is great even without Thick Fat. Hope this helps, have fun 🙂
I’m thinking real hard about dropping my chose of Cyndaquil for Chickorita and use a Houndour as a main fire type as it can give me an advantage over Morty and Will with its Dark typing.
I don’t think you can get a Houndour in-game until after you beat the Elite 4 (which made me really mad when I played it).
Well I may just breed one from Platinum then, gives me an option to give it fire fang and get the right nature down too.
That’s good. I don’t have another Gen IV game to trade with/from, so I was just out of luck. What kind of new Johto Pokemon only comes out at night in Kanto anyway? grrr…
lol I was the same way when Emerald came out, as I always loved both Sceptile and Blaziken, but no one else in my school would bother trading with me, and my parents never saw a need for getting another GBA. Luckily once I was nearing the end of HS and entering college, I had the option tog et myself 2 3DS’s, and now as a Uni student I have 2 3DS’s (one old and one New 3DS XL) a DS Lite, and DSi PAL region, and oddly a PAL 2DS XD
I only started playing Pokemon when I turned 24 (bought myself a 2DS for my birthday), but eventually I got another 2DS. So, I’m at the height of luxury for a 9 year old: two Game Boys! I’d love some more Gen IV games, but they’re super expensive right now. (Only have HG)
This was a huge letdown,but we still have the anime tomorrow and now the 20th.
Wait another reveal on the 20th it’s just September Pokemon madness!!
Ppl get mad on twitter.
Don’t get disappointed when UBs turn out to not be humans.
I won’t so long as we can catch them then.
OMG guys tomorrow the 1-hour anime episode plus Sun and Moon anime trailer!!! This week hasn’t gone to a total waste after all!!
heres my shiny predictions for recently reveals from about a week ago http://i.imgur.com/m5wxhNu.jpg
rf link didnt include
I really like that jangmo-o one
I genuinely feel cheated when CoroCoro gives more information than an official Pokemon news release
UB Beauty is a silverfish? And Expansion is a muscular mosquito???
Omg no not the silverfish.
Yes and Expansion seems to get its power by drinking blood. Although I wouldn’t know how that would translate into Pokemon since blood is never mentioned.
it drinks the red juice 😉
Omg no not the red juice.
Lol if Gladion has the tendency to drink a red-like substance, then we have our answer. We’ll have to wait 2 more months.
Kool-aid. Just kool-aid.
Expansion bashing through the wall like: Oh yeaaaah!
Life energy or just energy probably, like Leech Life etc.
I’m beginning to think if UB Beauty has a shiny it would be Black and Blue….. Like the old meme
wat kind of info Japanese site was reveled is it the same inf that’s leak on Corocoro?
they should revel type at least.
anyone see the Sun and Moon Guide $130 Vault Edition?
What, is it both games + guide?
just the guide and
– Special edition hardcover guide with a soft-touch dust jacket featuring exclusive Pokemon artwork
– Collectible Vault Edition box with magnetic clasp to hold your Pokemon treasures
– Exclusive hardcover 240-page journal displaying a debossed pattern and gold foil with a ribbon bookmark and inside pocket – perfect for recording your adventures in the Alola region
– Elegant roller ball pen etched with Pokemon Sun/Moon logos in classic silver color
– High-quality lithograph set of all-new artwork in a protective sleeve
– A thank you card with gold-foil-stamp signatures from members of Game Freak
– Full-sized bookmark with tassel showcasing Pokemon Sun/Moon art
– Removable decals highlighting five newly discovered Pokemon
– Detailed double-sided poster map of the Alola region
– “And more!”
And no games included according to a rep from Amazon, I ahve sadly confirmed. Shame, would fork over 130 for this had it come with both Sun and Moon 😛
so the games are? thats worth it then lol
i read that wrong.
its more a collectors item for a big pokemon fan
Damn, I’d be all over it if it had the games. Too pricey without them
Ok so I need you guys ti help rate my Heart Gold team set up 2.0:
-Pikachu {Electric} [Nature: Lonely] Thunderbolt, Shock Wave, Iron Tail, Thunder Wave Hold Item: Light Ball
-Meganium {Grass} [Nature: Gentle] Magical Leaf, Light Screen, Synthesis, Petal Dance
Hold Item: Miracle Seed
-Houndoom {Fire/Dark} [Nature: Rash] Crunch, Flamethrower, Dark Pulse, Overheat
Hold Item: Charcoal or Black Glasses
-Crobat {Poison/Flying} [Nature: Jolly] Cross Poison, Poison Fang, Areal Ace, Confuse Ray (Mean Look at some moments to get the 3 beasts).
Hold Item: Poison Barb or Black Sludge
-Heracross {Bug/Fighting} [Nature: Adamant] Brick Break, Close Combat, Bulk Up, Mega Horn
Hold Item: Black Belt
All I need is a water type, and tbh I’m curious about Politoad and Slowking. Anyone ever used them? If so, how are they, and any recommended sets, hold items, or moves?
I’ve really only used a Tentacruel for HeartGold before, so I’m not sure. Try using a Politoad, they can be good
I’d go for Slowking. Better type coverage, movepool, sp. def, and sp. attack than Politoed. It’s just slower, but you could use trick room
Hmm, well to my new favorite site, PokemonDB to see its move set then XD
well, for starters find a thunderstone ASAP to remove the cancer from your team. second, have you tried corsola? or maybe pull out the heavy octillery?
TBH, I liked Pikachu as I got Yellow as my first Pokemon game ever, thus like every person, one shall never abandon their starter. XD So I won’t be evolving her (yes, when I traded it over from Yellow to Gold, it was a girl, amazing!) any time soon. And I have tried Corsola once, and from my stand point its not too good. Octillery seems interesting.
