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.
Just beat the trial in the demo!! This game is amazing!!! I can’t wait to play the full game!! I will say the game play feels different. Not in a bad way, but the feel of movement is kind of different….idk anyone else think this? lol
The camera dynamic is what gets me.
I also love that the Pokemon attacks you if you snap it. I hope this always happens in the full game. It adds a new dimension to Pokemon catching.
Are people really upset, if it turns out there are no fossils? It makes sense, since Hawaii are fairly new islands and have no record of fossils or any archaeological findings.
And we get the Gen 4 and 5 fossils, and Aerodactyl in the regional Dex, giving us 5.
Fossil Pokemon are the few they tend to be creative with.
Aquatic fossils breh
Fair point but I think they shouldn’t make fossils, just for the sake of it.
I think they should, or they should make 2 fossil bird pokemon for Moa and Haast’s eagle from New Zealand.
Gen 8 region based on NZ and Aus imo
This would be the perfect opportunity to create some marine fossil pokemon then. I struggle to believe that this is ALL the pokemon in the game though. If the total was so close to that of XY i dont think they would have been revealing so many so quickly throughout the year.
If the ? sprites are indeed Totem Pokemon, for whatever reason, (It’s likely they are because theres one after Raticate and before Spearow and theres nothing between them in the national Dex) that would mean Zygarde is one too, and that’s an interesting Prospect, could it hint at a Boss Batt? http://imgur.com/gallery/5C8ry
Would assume that since you have to gather Zygarde Cells to complete it, you’d have to battle it as well.
I expected a battle, but not a Totem one, I wonder what it would call.
Interesting that it doesn’t include 100%
Xerneas in Sun, Yveltal in Moon
Oh that would be pretty cool, if not completely Deadly
maybe those are just the cores and the cells models
then they’d be before 10%, not after 50%
What scares me is that there are just 7 question marks: Normal; Grass; Fire; Electric; Dragon; Ghost (Mimikyu probably has two because of the head up and down for its ability). But we know for sure there’s a water captain and that wishiwashi looked like a totem in the trailer. So what?
Perhaps it was a boss, but not a totem, as in, it can’t call other pokemon
my team as for rn:
-rowlett
-palossand
-alolan vulpix
-salandit
-vikabolt/spider mon
-a water type (either lanturn or the starfish)
Lol spidermon
Komala *picks up white log*
Komala: im shiny now :3
omfg stop!! lol his shiny is literallly garchomp realness. is barely noticeable same with marshadow
Komala: but but my log makes me shiny not my fur :3
I definitely think we’re missing new Pokemon because Komala HAS to evolve it just HAS to tbh
My team atm:
Rowlet
Rockruff
Alolan Professor Oak
Oh yeah I forgot about that.
What type is Oak again?
Fairy
Always the fairies I hate them soooo much
Some people here think Alolan Diglett/Dugtrio Ground/Fairy. Hope its not true
I want Alolan Dugtrio to be ground/grass type you know stuff coming out of Diglet is like a sprout, more like potato sprout.
I absolute love Torterra so another Grass/Ground or Ground/Grass would be amazing 🙂
It was a joke, since gay guys are often called fairies. Please stop using ctrl+f to find comments containing the word “fairy” so you can reply to them that you hate the type.
Mullet type.
On the bright side, at least it disproves the Riddler.
BUT BUT THE RIDDLER SAID TOUCAN IS REAL AND PIKIPEK FINAL EVO IS A TOUCAN
I know you are joking but he didn’t add that until the toucan was seen on that girl’s shirt
True. But he predicted stuff like Sandygast/Pallosand, Team Skull, Mimikyu and Pyukumuku
That was ages ago though, he should have known when to stop.
He only mentioned the Toucan after someone else spotted it on the shirt, and he had it listed separately from Pikipek.
Yes, it is heart soothing that everything he has said so far is a big fat lie.
Bit overdramatic, he has said some things that came out true
I’m just being sarcastic. Nothing she has said is a lie.
I think he had a bit of Info, but winged the rest creating the illusion he knew it all
Yeah, but doing the latter thing makes him a bad person. He should have just said “that’s all I’ve got, I don’t know any more, sorry”, but instead he choice to attempt to deceive people.
Pretty sure there’s stuff missing though.
the only way I can forgive GF for not evolving Komala and Minior is if they gave stupid crazy stats thats makes them competitive viable
And Pyuku
Pyuku’s ability is great. You have to chip it down or it just wrecks you.
no more triple battles?
Dat Wimpod evo tho lol
Yo, can we actually get a fanart of Kukui as Captain Falcon saying “Show me your moves”?
I would like to second this
THIS IS IMPORTANT
http://imgur.com/gallery/ax8ntLA
OMG YES!
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO POST ABOUT THIS HOW DARE YOU. 😉
Just tried it OMG hahaha
was that a dab
hahahahahaha so cool !!
So the characters at the end of the demo video. Kahunas or trial captains? What people think?
2 trial Captains, 1 kahuna
Makes you wonder if those ar the last trial captains to be revealed. With all the news site saying that there are only 7 total trials you have to wonder lol
They can be seven actually, I mean, assuming Vikavolt, Salandit2, Gumshoos/Raticate, Lurantis, Kommo-o, Mimikyu are all Totem Pokemon becuase of the question marks. But where’s the water totem (that should be wishiwashi)?
I already answered that for you. A Boss Pokemon that can’t call other pokemon.
I think the ghost girl is the Ghost type captain cause there’s a question mark next to Mimikyu so probably it is a totem. While the other two are the the two kahuna missing, ground type with mudsdale and Flying type with, well, Pelliper.
When does the girl appear that lets you view Dugtrio?
I feel that there are more pokemon. Afterall, it is just a demo.
Also, was it actually datamined or were these pokemon just seen in the demo; or both?
both
I love your profile pic
Noted; well, I was hoping it was just seen haha
It does seem like they sort of learned from the ORAS demo. No text really. Only models of Pokemon and some basic info.
Can someone explain why everyone is saying that the leaks are all the new pokemon I think there are going to be way more pokemon. Like more evos
I guess because the game was datamined. I feel there may be a bit more but not too much. Holding out for a Komala and Minior evolution
And pyukumuku.
And Ribombee
OMG according to Polygon Lillie has the pre evo/form of the main legendary pokemon in each game. I’m pretty sure that pokemon was hiding in her bag in the early footage we saw in E3.
http://www.polygon.com/2016/10/18/13316660/pokemon-sun-and-moon-pokemon-list-leak-pokedex
This makes sense actually lol
According to Polygon: ”All we know about it is that it says “Pewpy” a lot … so one would think that’s its name, right? We have no clue, but it seems likely.”
Makes sense, was hoping Zygarde core but this is similair
So something interesting I found was that the UB’s have shiny models. Maybe they can get caught after all?
Didn’t some of the pokestar props have shiny versions as well in b2/w2
New gameexplain, mild spoilers

wow THEY PLAYED MORE????
First 20 minutes but they got more info this time
I think the one thing I hate about these games is that it makes you press A in order to enter buildings……….
Means there are full loading screens which means they can actually flesh out interiors.
That’s true I guess…..lol
It should really make you knock and wait a few seconds. Randomly barging into people’s houses is rude.
I’M AN INTRUSIVE PERSON!!!! hahaha
I am hoping Popplio 3’s hair is customisable, I’ll give it red hair in that case. And am I the only one who remembers Mawile when looking at the amazon TCG leaked Pokemon?
You want it to be like Ariel?
Yes
Would be pretty cool. I’d like to make mine Pink like Shirahoshi from One Piece.
That’s even better lol
Yowahoshi.
People are unlocking so many things in the demo, and I’m still over here trying to figure out how to see Dugtrio. 🙁
I’m still just riding Tauros around.
Something fun and useless you can do go back with tauros where that man stand behind all thkse rocks he says that you have to go away but just keep heading back
He’s a weirdo, I must know his secrets. Is he there because he’s on some sort of Register or something?
I need to know the truth behind that smile.
I wonder what he was doing behind that Rock, he doesn’t like you going there, perhaps he has something stashed there so bribes you with Stardust ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Its with Pokefinder right? I haven’t come across any spot outside the Trial location?
Apparently there’s a girl on the beach you talk to, but she hasn’t appeared for me.
At least you’re playing. I’m at work hahaha
I left school early. 😛
Here’s something else super cool. I just used the Poke ride app and then went into tall grass and entered a battle. My model is wearing the Poke ride outfit!!!
So the guys who played the first two hours of the real game said that they encountered some pokemon we haven’t seen and couldn’t talk about. What could those have been? All the pokemon in the dex that was datamined that we now know about come way later in the dex making me assume it’s because they’re on different islands that they didn’t even get to…
Could the complete dex still be under wraps?
Could be Geodude and Diglett
It’s possible that they removed some based on some of the dexes I’ve seen (in particular I haven’t seen anyone listing numbers alongside the pokemon yet).
Marshadow looks too incomplete to not have an alt form or an evo.
