The article below contains spoilers for Pokémon Sun & Moon.
We have chosen not to publish any images obtained from the demo version and as such the information below is a text rundown of what has been uncovered. The comment section of this article will also contain spoilers.
The demo version of Pokémon Sun & Moon is currently live in some regions and some avid trainers have gotten to work uncovering everything the demo has to offer.
It seems that lessons haven’t been learned from Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire and the demo files contain information on some currently unannounced Pokémon and over information. It’s unknown if the demo contains files for all new Pokémon in the games, though at this point it seems almost definite.
Leaked Information
Alolan Forms
The demo contains files confirming the existence of many more Alolan Pokémon:
- Geodude, Graveler and Golem
- Diglett and Dugtrio
- Persian
New Pokémon & Ultra Beasts
- There are at least five new Ultra Beasts, bringing the total to 8
- The leaked Starter Pokémon evolutions are real
- Pikipek appears to evolve into a toucan Pokémon in it’s final stage
- Crabrawler, Wimpod, Morelull and Salandit all receive evolutions
- Solgaleo and Lunala both have a pre evolution/lesser form
- A new Pokémon that appears to be based on an anchor
- A new Pokémon and it’s evolution that were previously leaked by an Amazon listing for the upcoming Sun & Moon TCG expansion
- Another two Pokémon evolution line that appears to be part Bug type
- Marshadow is a real Pokémon, but doesn’t look anything like Solgaleo or Lunala
- Magearna has a form that looks more like a traditional Poké Ball
- Ash Pikachu is in the game and appears to be able to wear Ash’s hat from each region of the anime
- [NEW] The Pokémon models found within the demo are only from Pokémon found in the Alola Pokédex
[NEW] Pokémon Moves
- It seems there are a total of 719 moves in the games, by comparison Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire had 621
- 3 of these new moves appear to be taught via TM
- 29 of the new moves are Z-Moves (18 Z-Moves for each type and 11 special Z-Moves)
- HMs no longer exist and are not available as a regular TM
[NEW] Items
- There are 920 items present in the demo, 58 of which are related to Z-Moves
- A new medicinal item similar to Lava Cookie that cures all
- A new battle item with held effect (like Dire Hit)
- At least 6 new holdable items with effects
- A Key Item that is likely used to change Zygarde forms
- 3 items that are used to change forms
- Bikes and Travel Trunks (an unused key item) are not in the demo/games
- The Strange Souvenir item data appears unchanged in the games
- 1 new type of Poké Ball
- It appears the new ball cannot be bought or sold
We will update with further details if and when they come.
REMEMBER: This information is currently unannounced and has been leaked from the demo. Please respect the wishes of others and mark your spoilers correctly.
Cool beans
It was all believable until “Solgaleo and Lunaala get a pre-evolution”
You what?
What?
I’m not sure if you’re messing or serious?
I honestly don’t know anymore. Anything can happen.
There’s a chance they’re not technically pre evolutions, but they’re definitely lesser forms of Solgaleo and Lunala and they are real.
Ok. That would make more sense. When I saw it, I instantly thought of it like Type:Null’s situation.
I updated with a little clarification. 🙂
When I first saw them first thing that ran through my mind was Black and White with Reshiram and Zekrom. They had those orb forms in which they stayed dormant. Maybe this is something similar for Lunala and Solgaleo.
Morelull and Salandit evolutions are so damn disappointing 🙁
Morelull’s evo actually made it decent
You think so? I don’t like it at all, might grow on me tho.
I wasn’t planning on using Morelull anyway but at least this evo looks stronger
It has that soulless face
What are Partner Pokemon evolutions?
Starter Pokémon.
Do you like spoilers?
This is crazy. Of course, I kind of expected this sort of thing to happen the moment they announced the demo but still this revealed a hell of a lot more than I expected o.O
Okay so ive skipped the leaked info up there to ask you guys how many new pokemon there are in total. Ive heard 82 but also 141 before sooo whats true?
Apparently the total Pokémon is now around 800 so probably 82
ouch, that killed my expectations of getting at least 100 new pokemon.
are alola forms considered part of these 82?
No, but it includes Ultra Beasts and Mythicals
79 new Pokémon.
18 Alolan Forms.
8 Ultra Beasts.
7 “other forms”.
3/4 Zygarde forms.
It’s actually difficult to say exactly how many are new/forms/etc without giving spoilers. But that’s about right.
There is around 105 counting the UB’s, Alolans, and Form Differences.
71 New Pokemon, not counting Alolans, Form Differences or UBs
71 New Pokemon ( 75 counting Oricoro’s and Lycanroc forms)
8 UBs
18 Alolan Forms
no fossil pokemon???????
I prefer to not see any of those pictures, so thanks for not posting them
It seems that they wanted us to leak all of it. I don’t understand why they still bundle all game data in the demo…
We are just one month away from the final release, I think it’s worth the wait. I can live without seeing all new Pokemon designs 🙂
Not as many new Pokémon as I wanted but honestly who cares. Alola is still gonna be hella awesome!
alolan golem look like zhang fei??

hi hi ~ first time poster here, but figured I could mention something teeny tiny with the demo, since I haven’t seen it anywhere else yet :’D Used a spoiler tag on it just in case.
My timezone is NZ on DST, so the DS just ticked over to the new day, and the first time-based reward from the guy sitting outside is 10 Pretty Wings. Seems to be a lot of money items we’re being given to transfer?
I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe we know of around 60 of the 70 new Pokemon… Even in X/Y we only knew 50%. If we can say the same for Alola, that brings the number up to 120. Really! They revealed a good 85% of the whole ‘dex?! Something’s fishy.
Serebii’s webmaster’s twitter mentioned it might be suspicious that the Shiny folder for the game got leaked while EVERYTHING else important was Scrubbed… and that they might have done it on purpose… I had a… somewhat unlikely theory that all the pokemon and UB’s we got info for were all the things they were going to reveal before release, and that there was actually much more to come with the release of the game. But frankly thats just a theory. and i could be completely wrong. More specifically the theory was that they left in the Shiny forms for all the pokemon to be revealed before release.
Hopefully we’ll still get more new pokemon, I’m still waiting for a good dark type. But if the pokedex is indeed complete, I wonder why they’re not creating more pokemon. I’m not asking for 151, but around 100 new + alolan forms would be perfect.
The evolution of Wimpod is amazing. Like Kabutops and Alien had a love baby. I’m so gonna have it in my party.
I’m def using it, but I don’t know if there’s any spot left on my team
I’m having a hard time deciding which Pokémon I want on my team this generation.
I had a feeling he was the new Magikarp. From nobody to Nightmare
– Weird spider is going on my team
– Toucan not going on my team
– Alien Kabutops going on my team
– Arrowal (Arr-ow-al), Tsareena, Kommo-o, Lurantis, Spider, and Alien Kabutops
I don’t think I’m getting any flying type this gen
The Pikipek line did the weirdest species-switch of any Alola Pokemon, but it still looks cool although the middle stage could be a little better.
i don’t mind the switch, but the last evo is underwhelming. We don’t need to use fly anymore so I’m more than happy
If anyone wants single images of all the new pokes along with their shiny forms…here ya go…
https://sli.mg/a/4HOcnq
Ugh, alolan Dugtrio and Persion, And Ub’s have shinys? WHyyyywyHYhwQ
why tf would alolan persian and dugtrio not have shiny versions
I said UB’s, Ultra beast’s
!!!!!SPOILER!!!!
I’m VERY sad that Drampa, Bruxish, Komala & Comfey are single stage Pokémon :((((
You forgot Pyukumuku
He’s probably not VERY sad about it, just sad
VERY 😛
Interesting, Alolan Marowak is missing from the list, so that means there’s more coming, right?
There seems to be a bit of argument whether more is coming or not. Some people seem adamant that this is (pretty much) everything, whereas some other people seem confident that GF hid some stuff and there will be surprises in the main game. I’m not sure what to believe, but for now I think we should maybe prepare ourselves that the datamine covered most of it.
I think GF left that in there on purpose. You don’t forget to remove all the shiny sprites. That being said, the demo guy’s name is sun. What if it’s true that the final egos have two forms and these are the sun ones. What if we are missing the moon forms plus a few more pokes exclusive to moon.
Ah, that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for clarifying. Haven’t gotten my hands on the demo yet. Planning on Sun anyway so guess these guys are my crew!
WTF is going on with Alolan Persian? It looks like a cat how ate a bee, got stung and now has a swollen face… >.<
Agree.
I was really hoping for something more elegant considering how Alolan Meowth looks… Alolan Persian kinda looks like it has a regular Meowth’s head… XD
agreed, super disappointed with alola persian’s face ugh….great description x__x
This is my cat who got stung in the face by a bee (she was alright). https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/abc69bf1a9fc05ca0b26980cdccaad651420a92a8dbe96196035c7f689d433c7.jpg
Alolan Persian: I hate mondays… Sun can you Get me some Lasagna?
So the ultra beasts have shinies? Curious…
Shiny Alolan Grimer is the same color as Kanto Grimer? Cuz the alolan form was Green in the trailer i thought
Where can I see these images? Is this it in terms of new Pokemon
So the rumor that we go to Kalos is false?
From what I understand, all story stuff and postgame content etc was scrubbed from the demo. So nothing like that was leaked.
I think the rumor of that stems from the text “Kalos Region” being in the demo. However, it more likely points out to the caught/hatched origins of the Pokemon
How do you mark spoilers
SPOILER STUFF
Remove spaces between spoiler and the .
I honestly don’t have much addition to my team
Wimpod’s evo caught me by surprise and therefore earned a valid entry (and besides I could use a water type)
But that’s where the buck stops here, the rest just don’t excite me
So either Crabrawler (which has a high chance of being Fighting/Ice or Bewear)
Heatigre
Lycanroc
Mudsdale
Bewear or Chrampion
Wimpod’s evo who’ll I’ll call Carapod or Crustpod
Kommo-o
Yes! I knew Wimpod would be a glorious gladiator of pure carnage! Makes me so happy. :*)
At least now I have fodder to make
I WAS A WIMPOD BEFORE EVOLUTION
NOW IM A JERK AND EVERYONE LOVES ME
Hell yeah!
Well I am glad you were able to construct a full team with Pokémon you like considering how small this dex is. Still bigger than XY but small nevertheless.
Wimpod all the way
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ec6d69c722d4fd4e18d0da0715e52e3adc0a31e396e45cb4e26285ad684a30d8.jpg
Yes!
No Komala evo 🙁
Yeah, that was disappointing. I know they have single stage dex filler in every gen but Komala so much promise to evolve…
How do you make the grey box?
If nothing else leaks then this will be my first team:
Alolan Ninetales
Popplio3
Lycanroc Midday Form
Salandit2
Wimpod 2
Kommo-o
So Komala gets no evolution? And what about the snowman and dolphin pokemon? Those were in the same rumor as pyukumuku and passimian
Snowman is likely crabrawler2, Dolphin is one of the Tapus.
So no Komala Evolution?? And what about the Snowman and dolphin pokemon? They were also in the same leak as Pyukumuku and Passimian
They were not in the data mining for the demo, not the full games, which we will probably see them in!
That’s highly unlikely
Why would they have anything other then what’s been shown via this datamined here which is basically everything
