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

- 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.
Random question, what type do you believe the Metroid spider will be?
I see some sort of electric/something for some unexplained reason
Dark/bug
Dark/electric
Water/dark
YOOOO DARK ELECTRIC SOUNDS SO GOOD!!!
I thought Bug/Ice-type when I first saw it. On second look, Bug/Electric-type?
just saw leaked regional dex… just want to point out the very little amount of gen 4 pokemon… hint hint
i said the same thing. 😉
fabulous profile pic
thank u and where can i see the dex i can’t find the link i used
can i have a link to it?
ttp://imgur.com/gallery/5C8ry put an h infront of the link
the really want u to complete the dex eh
noooo :c swirlix isn’t in there… also whats with the black question marks?
Possibly totem Pokemon.
I also noticed Wishiwashi is missing, but it’s probably the two question marks next to Mimikyu. (One is the normal version, the other is totem version.)
no its there right before the sea cactus thing and after lycanrock night form
That’s Bruxish.
… no bruxish is right before drampa, are we looking at the same picture? 😛
Probably not I guess. 🙂
What about gen 6? Not even Greninja is there…
So what if this is like sinnoh where you get more mons after beating the main game. Like more starters (greninja) -and such. Maybe even marshadows full form
so kinda just speaking my mind, one thing i love to do as i play is write my own little stories based on my character’s misadventures, Pokemon capture stories, gym battles, and big events. and i truly can’t wait to see what will come
now i gotta think of a clever way to write in my newfound interest for Wimpod
Hmmm… how about… “Trainer dismissed Wimpod, wimpod got into a battle and (as expected) wimped out, but to please its trainer it tried to get braver, so it eventually defied its ability and evolved.”
i was thinking more of an accidental capture, and no matter how many times i send it to battle or try to get rid of it Wimpod continues to follow me
It kept coming back to him after he repeatedly dismissed it, kept trying to fight him even though it kept wimping out and running away part of the way through, and you decided to capture it seeing its perserverance. Then, it is your last pokemon during a key gym battle, and it starts taking a beating, it sees the look of desperation in your eyes and determines that no, it is not going to run away anymore, and through sheer force of will evolves.
that’s kinda cliche
Just because something falls into a trope doesn’t mean it’s bad writing 😛
in today’s breed of ultra-high critics it is
Plus the idea that it was following you around trying to fight you is kinda cute.
it doesn’t want to fight me, it likes me for some bizarre reason
That also works!
That is so adorable it evolved out of love!!!! omgggg
Helix has been replaced. All hail, Wimpod.
I see Wimpod as being a little scavenger that keeps stealing your food until you beat it up, yet it rises to the challenge no matter how many times you stop him and you eventually decide to train him up because you can see the determination in its eyes.
nah i think they’d be too skittish to approach humans let alone take food from them
maybe when my team is chilling on the beach, maybe my Rockruff is playing in a tidepool and rouses a Wimpod and as it skitters into my open bag and lodges itself in a Pokeball, then it just never leaves me alone
it even pops out by itself and tries to fight, but then gets scared and returns.(I legitimately hope this happens to ash in the anime)
something like that, but it has a surprisingly strong Struggle Bug attack that all pokemon really hate
Haha, I love it. Sounds like Misty’s Psyduck But more derpy and weak. Then one day, it save you from a tricky situation and overcomes the weakness to evolve and show you that it can be helpful.
No…it shows him that it’s GOD!
nah it still kinda sucks as a fighter, i try battling, it wimps out, i leave it at the beach, it follows me, i violently huck it into the ocean and still manages to come back,
but despite this i discover that this wimpod is a phenomenal scavenger which lets me find treasures
Heh, nice one. Little beach comber is your ticket to fortune then?
You’re trying to catch your favorite ground type that’s in this game the pokemon smacks away the ball and hits a wimpod hiding nearby it catches it.
There are no more Pokemon. The numbers check out. Obviously this list doesn’t reflect the assigned number to each Pokemon, but it does count them all.

789 Solagaleo Pre
790 Solgaleo
791 Lunala Pre
792 Lunala
793 Magearna
794 Marshadow
This is also assuming the Solgaleo and Lunala pre-evos aren’t just formes and the Ultra Beasts aren’t Pokedex’d ‘mons. We are either at 792 or 794 Pokemon. First time we haven’t moved into the next hundred block. Disappointed for sure, but more so in alola forms than the new ‘mons. 18 just seems like such a small number… Ah well, maybe we will get more in the 3rd Game/Sinnoh Remake/Sequels if we get any of those. With the NX right around the corner though these games do really seem like the last Ho-rah for the 3DS…
source?
What source is needed? These aren’t the real numbers excluding Jangmo-o, Hakamo-o and Kommo-o that were revealed in the demo. I’m just saying that if you follow the notion that they will be the last non-legendary mons in the dex that all the other spoiled Pokemon fit perfectly between them and Volcanion. That would mean any other new Pokemon come after them (Making them legendaries) or, and far more likely, there aren’t anymore new Pokemon (except maybe mythicals that haven’t be revealed yet and weren’t coded in).
ok, didnt know the numbers are known…
maybe this is not everything
blah blah blah Just testing this to make sure I’m doing it right, before I post what I was really going to post. LOL Just figuring which one works.
Huh I guess they both work. LOL
Is the demo based on sun? Or moon?
Sun, it’s day time when it’s day time and the character is called Sun 🙂
The anchor pokemon is definitely the cryogonal of this gen.
Well I guess that proves it, (At least for me) that the
UB’s ARE basically Pokemon! I mean why else would they give them SHINY
FORMS if they weren’t. And with the Alolan forms. I thought someone said that the Alolan form for Persian was suposed to be gorgeous, OMG That is one of the uglyest Pokemon I have ever seen!!!! It looks like a warped Garfield the Cat!!!! Persian is one of my top fave Pokemon, why? Why did they have to ruin it with that abomination, they call it’s Alolan form, WHYYYYYY!!!!!! And the Tapu’s, I LOVE the cute little pink one, though I like the purple one as well.
The pokestar studios things have shiny sprites IIRC
no they don’t
in the files they do, you just can’t see them
I have never heard anyone say that until now and I’m currently doing research for this but nothing is coming up so I don’t think they do
they do
No I think you’re thinking of these two (the door also had two different variants) but they couldnt be shiny at all https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3462fc5e53db690ff2d30a498098bcfea12d8cf2983c7bcbc7ec33a2de390ba7.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6dc82430c83c697a81644d341ca68f96dc8312554a657696314c50eb1e4ff03b.png
Those aren’t even living being’s, there freaking mechanical stage props, that you can’t do anything with except in the Pokestar Studio’s (which I didn’t really even bother with when I played Black and White 2, it didn’t interest me at all. LOL)
The UB’s however it would be pointless for them to have shiny form’s if you couldn’t catch them at some point. I mean I could care less if something like that had a shiny form, if I couldn’t catch and keep it. I’m pretty sure that UB’s are a new type of Pokemon from an alternate dimension, that decided to come an wreak havoc in the Sun and Moon universe.
the full Alola dex is( dont know if this considered a spoiler or not but) 323
What? I counted 400 + 2 mythical + 8 Ubs
i counted that unless i miscounted badly
Yeah sorry, you are right. Now I counted 88 from Kanto, 30 from jotho, 33 from hoenn, 29 from Sinnoh, 28 from Unova, 14 from kalos and 80 from Alola (counting the question marks)= 310 + 8 Ubs
So, um, I may or may not have just accidentally spoiled myself on, um, everything.
Oops.

I guess you guys are the sith? xD
The leak side has cookies! >:D
Donno if I mentioned this already but I caught a shiny Beartic yesterday,
Im in a shiny drought
that was my first shiny in X
It was pure coincedence cause I was hunting for a male Piloswine and it popped up
Haha, similar story for me too, I was hunting for a female Solosis in mirror cave and ran into a shiny woobat, my first shiny.
I’ve never caught or encountered a shiny Pokemon. xC
chain fishing is ur friend
I just found out how to breed hidden abilities two weeks ago…
I bred a perfect IV HA Shiny Tyrantrum. It took me like 3 weeks, but she is big, strong and FIERCE!
I now have a bunch of Murkrows who know roost and brave bird and have prankster.
FINALLY!!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/473f8348b314dbfc05fa9024799f5aa22a3bfd1512ea215b1664dd07c14f41e3.jpg
Can’t wait to play competitive with a new limited dex. At least until January.
Majority of common OU mons will be unavailable at first.
Although I’m wondering how we will be getting hidden abilities. Any news on a Friend Safari type thing?
Maybe I’m just in denial at this point, but this seems super incomplete. No evos for Komala, Pyukumuku, Comfey and Minior? MINIor? I’m probably just grasping for false hope here? There are so many small baby looking one stages, and there are only 4 3 stages other than the starters. I want to tell myself that I’m happy with this list but to be competely honest, I’m not.
Minior is a near rhyme to meteor
It’s mini though.
Its literally a mini-meteor yeah
Minus Komala those Pokemon clearly are standalones
Well Pyuku could have easily had an evo…
Type null got one…
Somehow Type: Null isn’t complete, yet tiny little Komala is full evolved? I want to hold onto hope so bad here. My brother thinks that it was intentional, and that it’s only part of the dex, I know that’s not possible but right now I would kill for that to be right.
no, Puke stain was a stand-alone from the get go, innards out validates a single staged warrior
I refuse to believe that.. compared to the other evos that existed…
well have fun with that false hope, you know the images are all there
Sadness…
Minior has mini in the name.
i think they did that because they already did a gimmick for all the shields down color crapola
Am I the only one who saw Confey as a gimmick poke? I just never felt it would evolve. Komola makes me sad though.
I’m surprised about Komala its entry mentions its parents. Maybe the parent is us maybe its another Komala. It’s just confusing anyway.
Read one my below comments. I think this isn’t the complete pokedex. I think they purposely put some yet revealed stuff in the databanks for free marketing. The demo doesn’t include things like plot details or location models either. Call me an optimist, but this is what I think.
I agree with everything you said. I am equally as dissappointed. Maybe more so at the fact that over 80% have been revealed be GF already. They left very little to be discovered anyway. Even If the demo hadn’t been data mined
I’m not even mad at myself for spoiling myself, I’d rather get over my dissapointment now than in a month,
In a month when you have a level 50 komala on your team and then realize it doesnt evolve. Thatd be the worst
Eep, I really need evolution methods leaked, I’d hate to have the same happen to me with any of these new Pokemon.
maybe we will get more
Do we need spoiler tags? Komala and minior definitely need evos…still holding out hope but I did that with x&y and was disappointed.
I’m trying to be polite to those with a stronger willpower than I.
But isnt this article dedicated entirely to dex spoilers?
seems like Sun/Moon will have day/night variants with music… you know what else had that…. Diamond and Pearl
Litten’s final evolution looks so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!
Also 1 ice type, and it’s not even a primary typing likely. . . The next region better be a snowy region, ice type needs some love. Anyway, I just need to move on from my dissapointment with the dex and focus on the features and areas of the game rather than the new pokemon.
BUT THERE’S SO MANY COOL LOOKING NEW POKEMON! WIMPODS EVO IS THE NEW KING!
Its good
but metroid spider
1. It’s highly unbalanced.
2. No evos for Komala and Minior
3. Not many three stages
4. Too many standalones
5. I was honestly expecting over 100 considering what we got last gen. I thought it was a one time thing, but maybe this is the new norm? :/
There could be more than meets the eye.
No fossil Pokemon and that many standalones has me guessing.
Maybe this was intentionally put in? I need some hope at this point, ugggh.
Hahaha we both couldn’t resist the day after we mentioned not wanting to know the info.
Honestly, strongest gen so far in my opinion. Great looking pokemon, awesome shinies
Here’s my thoughts.
Alolan Persian… Why…? I mean, honestly, I think I would have preferred they become an elegant bipedal grey persian than a cat who let fortune go to their head.
Alolan Geodude line is okay. I honestly think I like the fake leaks more where they were volcanic.
I’m quite disappointed that GF revealed all but 17 – 19 new pokemon.
I’m definitely enjoying Wimpod’s evolution (who I’m calling Wrathynomus after the Giant Isopod genus) so much. I’m definitely getting one of these monsters. But, it does make me wonder… Are Wimpod and Crabrawler version exclusives or some new fossil-type thing?
Speaking of Crabrawler, that evolution of its… I’m hereby dubbing it Saskiwallop after the Kiwa hirsuta (Yeti Crab/Yeti Lobster) and calling the Fighting/Ice type combo. I’ll love that fuzzy lumpkin to death!
I’m not sure how to feel about the rest yet.
The shinies are disappointing imo, especially when compared to X and Y. These ones are much like gens 4 and 5’s shinies. Although, I do appreciate how Mimikyu’s color schemes are references to old gameboys. The regular colors being GBC and shiny being GB. Nice!
And I’m super sad that I saw the (what I’ll call) Eclipsed forms of Marshadow, Lunala, and Solgaleo. I’m also pretty sad I saw the Tikis and UBs. Hopefully I can forget…
Alolan Persian actually looks like a real life persian cat.
Alolan Persain looks so ugly. I was hoping for something more majestic. Not some chubby ass cheeked cat.
To me the Alolan Persion looks like a warped Garfield the Cat. It’s sooo ugly, and a huge disappointment for me personally since, Persion is one of my fave Pokemon.
What type is Golem supposed to be?
I love chocolate alolan raichu. Is that real?
Yeah the original one is maple syrup pancake form while this is chocolate pancake form.
Oh, thanks, i didn’t know that. It’s really cute.
I just noticed a distinct lack of fossil Pokemon.
Proof that there’s more to be revealed?
that moght very well be
Well gen 2 didn’t have fossils so it has happened before, but I’m crossing my fingers that there might be more.
Too late, ughh. xD
I need to get this in quickly before somebody mentions johto: Johto and Kanto and closely linked, Alola is very far away from other regions. It makes sense for Johto to have no fossils, it doesn’t for alola.
Alola is based on Hawaii which is a group of extremely new islands. Hawaii doesn’t really have fossil records of anything other than maybe some old plants or micro-organisms. I think it’s a safe bet to say there will be no fossil mons, especially with the inclusion of 5 old gen fossil Pokemon in the regional dex.
What are we thinking for marshadow? Typing, story, anything?
According to the rumors, Marshadow’s typing is unique to itself.
Also, what we’re seeing is the “sleep size” form.
So we’re missing some things yet again. Hopefully new pokemon are missing too?
Judging by its appearance and the fact it supposedly has an unique typing I’d say Ghost/Normal. Personally I hope Dark/Fairy. It kind of looks like a Tiki as well though, so perhaps Grass/Fire?
Dark fairy sounds awesome
Hoping gen 8 will have a Dark/Fairy imp Pokemon
After looking at it, I think it is UB-08, it opens its mouth and swallows solgaleo/lunala to have that galaxy effect in its mouth
I think it’s safe to say the “missing” sprites are the totem Pokemon. We already know Alolan Raticate, Gumshoos and Kommo-o are totem Pokemon and wouldn’t you know it, but three of the missing seven sprites come after them…
but maybe they arent sothere is still hope
Also Lurantis is mentioned to be totem in original site.
That’s a good hint. Imo also Vikavolt and Kommo-o are totem. Mimikyu too maybe cause it is the only ghost type not counting Oricorio. So maybe salandit 2 is a totem for poison.
What about sandyghast?
That makes zero sense. There are two missing sprites after Mimikyu, Mimikyu would not be a totem twice, and even if it was then why are there different sprites?
Becaus of its ability it has two model. One with head on and one with head down.
Oh. ._. JUST LET ME HAVE SOME HOPE!!
Zygarde has two Question Marks too.
I hope it’s a Totem Boss or something like that.
Probably the cell and core forms, but Zygarde being a totem Pokemon would be cool too.
Yeah probably, but I have some hope there will be more. But I” content with what we have as well
I hope they make up for the lack of pokemon in cool features and post game stuff, it’s hard to keep up hope right now.
I’m actually content with everything so far. I” only slightly disappointed with the number of new mons, but I still think the games will be awesome regardless.
I’ll get over it soon enough. It didn’t hinder my playthrough of XY at all (that award goes to many more things) so it likely won’t bother me too much here. I just hope the post game excites me now.
One thing is for sure, my teams are getting revamped if this is real, which it seems to be. I just wish Komala got an evolution, do we think there is still more to come though?
The demo was too short but whet my appetite for sure, Dat music, Mmmm. I must have waited for at least 2 minutes every time a new song came on, Skull theme for the win. :’D
