Oranguru is a Pokémon that appears only in Pokémon Moon. If you’re playing Pokémon Sun, you can obtain it by trading with someone playing Pokémon Moon.
Oranguru live solitary lives deep in the forests and do not usually take much action. Instead, they position themselves high up in the trees to meditate. Long ago, people thought that Oranguru were humans who dwelled in the forest depths, so they called them “the people of the forests.” Oranguru is kind to the other Pokémon living in the forest, providing medicine for injured Pokémon and food for the hungry.
Oranguru sometimes act on their own initiative and will use items that only humans normally use. From a Trainer’s perspective, they can be hard Pokémon to handle at times. Allegedly, there have been sightings of Oranguru using Poké Balls!
The fan-like objects held by Oranguru are handmade by the Oranguru themselves. These fans appear to be made of layers of leaves bound together with Oranguru’s own fur.
Instruct is a move that only Oranguru can learn. It can make the selected target use its most recent move again immediately.
I love messing with earthen
Well fuck you too
<3
OH my god.. EEVEES Z MOVE IS AMAZING! Baton Pass that thing!

Trying to get to the top arent ya
Well on the 14th I posted the opposite version xD
true, true
OMG I just return from the Bornean Jungle, where I luckily got to see wild Orang-Utans, and now this!!!! GF stop stalking me pls hahaha
Damn, version based evolution confirmed.
Passimian is amazing I’m glad it’s Sun-exclusive! Love the other one too but not as much. Glad Lycanroc Midday Form is also Sun-exclusive. I’m really happy about all this info!
Meanwhile my Glalie EX card just staring at me on my table.
I’m watching the English trailer, and during the fashion segment, it shows the currency will be festival coins, and not Poke dollars. 🙂
The entire game is probably one big festival.
Unless festival coins are just for clothes and normal items come from pokedollars.
Would give players a reason to do festival stuff.
I can see the dual coins/dollars thing, but having the game be one big festival and have only festival coins would be awesome too
I think they’ll replace the coin case/game corner aspect with festival games since those can’t be classed as gambling (we hope).
Coconut shys would be pretty neat.
Normal Pokedollars have already been confirmed in the short “throw-the-Pyukumuku-in-the-ocean” trailer
Ah I forgot about that! 🙂 So yeah,dual coins and pokedollars
Forgot about that, I was looking at the scenery rather than the boring tourist game.
Guess that means there will definately be festival minigames to enjoy.
woah, i found Passimian’s leaked evolution (sorry)

“Catastropika”…. Just when I thought they couldn’t do worse than Pulverising Pancake DX
Whelp there’s the Rugby monkey that the Chinese leaks spoke of. One more point for them I guess lol. I’m also really digging those Pikachu and Eevee Z moves. Especially Pikachu’s hahahaha I am kind of bummed it seems that Lycanroc is completely version exclusive rather than it being simply based on time, but it is waht it is I guess…..lol
Wait did it just confirm that Lugarugan is, in fact, version exclusive? Damn :^(
Yeah it is kinda sad 🙁 but the GTS exists right? RIGHT? That’s literally my only way of getting version exclusives. (Because I don’t have any friends that play pokemon)
Yeah, but I prefer being my mon’s OT. I’m getting both, so it’s no big. If the starters have version exclusive evos, it’ll make the differece on which one I main, though. I want to main Moon, but daaaang day wolf…
couldnt you just trade your rock ruff, get someone to evolve it and then trade it back to you?
…That is brilliant. I can trade between my own versions, but that make way more sense.
Which form are you after?
There are plenty of people here willing to trade 😛
Midday, but I’m getting both versions so I can trade with myself. It’s just going to be annoying having to whip out the old 3DS whenever I want some day wolf. 😛
Why are you even complaining, getting both means you’re already spoilt 😛
Lol fair enough. 😛 I have to eat cup ramen for a few months though :v
Already there and I still can’t afford both.
Bruhhhh character customization is crazy af!! I am loving this
I can see Ash getting Passimian
I see it chucking melons at him
I think those are suppose to be coconuts……so…..they’d probably hurt hahaha
It screams Ash
They need to hurry and announce starter evolutions if they are goona be version exclusives.
BREAKING: Next batch of Pokemon Sun and Moon info coming on October 4th (Serebii)
Two weeks away AHHHHHHHH

When Rockruff is bathed in an abundance of lunar energy, it evolves into its Midnight Form. In the world of Pokémon Moon, Lunala’s influence causes Rockruff to evolve into this form.”
this could mean that they arent exclusives, just the day/night feature is a the key factor in it, so getting one evolution more frequent
But it specifically says in the trailer that it’s exclusives as well as in that description you posted. “world of Pokemon Moon” “Lunala’s influence”
There’s just no denying it.
hm they are really confusing with this, they arent flat out saying anything
But they have though. Those words are as clear as day. THey are version exclusives.
i like the pun tho.
If it can only be brought about by lunaala, how could it be possible in the sun game? Answer: it’s not possible.
It says they’re Sun exclusive in the trailer.
Sun>Moon
My fanmade oc> everything else
Lunaala tho.
I’m probably going to actually use it on my team it’s so pretty
Moon seems to be a more unique experience due to the day/night system.
Just play Sun at night and it’s kind of the same
Just change your sys clock forward 12 hours, same difference.
Reminds me when I was a kid and came to the States on a family vacation to see relatives. My brother and I bought Gold and Silver there and set the clocks to EST.
After vacation ended, we went back home (to the Phils.) and in-game play was at night when it was actually daytime. Getting Moon is going to bring back sweet memories of that.
ehh I disagree, but oh well, the only cool thing I have seen from sun so far has been rock ruffs evo
Moon for me but I want UB-02 Absorption badly though….but it’s not enough to choose sun.
If I could get rid of UB02A, I’d gladly give it to you.
It’s ugly as hell.
I am waiting for this …I really like it.
We almost certainly won’t be able to catch them though, so it’s a no-go.
I am not buying the idea these UB r not catchable make 0 sense.
they’re called ultra beasts not pokemon
it’s a pkmn from another dimension ….I am sure of it.
No
Hell yeah.
95% sure the ultra beasts are just characters
hopefully
I prefer Beauty.
Beauty cool but I like Absorption more cuz colors harmony and those plenty details.
It was already going to be Sun for me, but Midday Lycanroc with a priority Rock move sealed the deal
Passimian is Sun exclusive. Just confirmed that Sun is the best game in the whole franchise
I like Oranguru more.
Damn I’m still half expecting the water Arcanine cause of Passimian
Water Arcanine is very unlikely at this point
So…the football monkey leak was true?
yet another disappointing batch of pokes
i don’t like Passimion nor Oranguru
and they made matters worse by giving eevee even more popularity by a stupid Z-move that super charges it to ridiculous levels
I still haven’t had any additions to my team and its really making me angry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80YFtnTBApU
love ya earthen <3
Screw off i’m plenty pissed off
better to be pissed off then pissed on
shut up
God damn it Govna
r u mad because it isn’t Ground/Fighting and Ground/Psychic…
i’m made because i liked NOTHING for a long while
and i’m sitting here watching everyone have a jolly seeing things they like and want
I mean, there’s not much that I wanted/liked to have before SM, so I’m honestly just happy for more mons.
Same, no new additions..I’m indifferent to the new monkeys. They’re not bad, just not something I would put on my team.
the only addition was Mudsdale and that was months ago
I’m using midday Rockruff but I was already going to have it so it doesn’t quite count. :/
same
they already ruined Popplio for me now i got to use litten and mudbray’s eyes looks fucking stupid
lol. I like the Monkeys. Also, the Z-Move is just for Eevee! It’s a weak Pokemon getting buffs. It’s a cute animation as well!
Eevee is still an unevolved Pokemon unable to hold an eviolite or focus sash. A good close combat could probably still deal with it.
Or just baton pass dat shit and sweep!
Ever been sweeped by an Adaptability Last Resort gimick
i still have the bite wound
I’m looking forward to an Eevee + M-Lopunny set
Oh goodness, the power
Wow. I guess I’m switching from Moon to Sun. I absolutely love the Pokemom selection in the game. I want my Rugby Monkey. Also, the character customisation is just perfect! They added way more in this game! Now we could remove hats and wear glasses!
Pokemon from Red/Blue/Yellow need to be transferred to Poke Transporter first, before they can be transferred SuMo (Serebii)
I’m glad they gave Lycanroc a decent name.
I’ve been betting on the name containing ‘lycan’ for ages 😛
