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.
The entire Pokedex with sprites and stuff is there. Is this a known fact here?
Kind of spoilers. I didn’t say any info.
Pretty much.
No, I had no idea!
Sorry for the sarcasm, I just had to. Yep, we all know, sadly enough.
Rip; Adrenaline pumping trailers
Well, we still have new features (and NEW POKEMON!)
I don’t know if I want to use either Alola Persian or Dugtrio, or both.
I can’t believe there’s someone who likes one, let alone both!
Hakamo-o: 55/75/90/65/70/65
Pikipeck: 35/75/30/30/30/65
Rockruff: 45/65/40/30/40/60
Yungoose: 48/70/30/30/30/45
Rockruff has some pretty poor stats.
probably gonna be a glass cannon
I’m just happy we have fast rock type
It didn’t look that strong but dam I want it on my team.
I heard they nerfed Def and SP-def state to make the demo easier.
I haven’t heard that. But they could have done.
I’d like to point out that these stats likely don’t reflect EXACTLY how they will be in game. The Pokemon are obviously made to be easier to beat as it’s a demo. Seems like there are some stat tampering to make things fit for the demo.
Could be a possibility, but I very much doubt it.
Look at Hakamo-o for example. It’s stats Total is 420 which is similar to the 410-420 range that all the other Pseudo middle stages have. It’s stats will unlikely be higher in the real game.
Hmmm I suppose so….lol
That attack for Pikipek is insanely high for a basic Pokemon.
Look at that beautiful defence stat on hakkamo. #CHALLENGE TYPE CONVENTIONS
Fighting types have decent defense and hp though
Spoilers for Dex Leak
Even though I’m convinced they’re (the blanks) totems, humoring the idea that they’re completely new, unseen Pokémon, what do you guys hope they’d be?
Tbh I’d want
-1 Komala Evolution
-1 Pyukumuku Evolution
-3 Ice/Dark Pokémon in a line
-2 Rock/Psychic Tiki Pokémon
All of that + Ribombee evolution and maybe one more Salandit
Completely forgot Ribombee, turn that third one into a two stager :p
Ribombee and Salandit need one. We have such a small amount of 3-staged Pokemon. :C
Ground/Fighting….but i know that its not new unseen pokemon
Would you use Alolan Dugtrio if it was?
there’s no chance in all 9 layers of hell
What are you saying? You love ground types!! lol
i do but A: all alolan ground types have had their ground type scrapped
alolan Dugtrio is a joke
c; i hate you
You missed “B” there, but that’s ok. I honestly don’t think Dugtrio will lose it’s ground typing. It’s to…..well ground-y to. Know what I mean? lol Also I love you
I had a feeling you might be like that. I don’t much care for it either.
One day!
YEAH FUCKING YEARS FROM NOW
Maybe there will be an awesome sinnoh form of Excadrill making it Ground/Fighting or something!
You freaking dolt, if nothing comes up within the next 4 weeks I’M TOTALLY SCREWED
Then i’ll have to wait 4-5 years until gen 8 and what happens if even that gen doesn’t have one, it’s not even a outrageous type, but i still haven’t gotten one
Why are you so closed off to a well designed Fighting/Ground alolan form?
There’s no way that they’re totems IMO.
But, in the spirit of guessing:
1 Komala evo
1 minior evo
1 pyukumuku evo
2 ice/ground beast
1 Salandit evo
I should have stopped looking at news earlier. Whatever.
Attempted to evolve a Pikipek and then Pikachu ruined things ; n ;
Doesn’t work
🙁
I feel like during that challenge the battle got a lot harder…..
I don’t think the battles were harder, it’s just that you need a lot of them.
That’s true and without having the ability to heal it becomes way more of a pain lol
I’m keeping my super potion in reserve 😀
I used mine and it didn’t help lol

Regardless of the data mining, what’s frustrated me is how they released so many new Pokemon through the trailers. It honestly didn’t leave many Pokemon to be discovered when playing the actual game. It also gave me hope for a pokedex that at least broke triple digits.
Simple theory: Ultra Beasts are humans fusioned with Marshadow.
Woah, I really like that. But it isn’t happened at all.
Plot twist: everything that happens in the story is all because of Marshadow and the final boss is Marshadow in its true form. I mean, it does have “shadow” in its name, possibly hinting at its play as an essential character puppeteering everything from behind the shadows and Solgaleo and Lunala take the form of the baby Pokemon to try and alert the humans of Marshadow and its minions of Ultra Beasts… Okay, I’m getting too fan-ficky! 😀
Why are we assuming that Solgababy and Lunababy are independant pokemon? Legendaries have never evolved before, so why would they now?
We’ve always had Gyms, why would we lose them now?
Fair. But still, my reaction is form change, but somehow most of the internet sees them as prevos.
Good point, could be a form change, like Wishiwashi.
I feel like I need to put out a PSA with the amount of times I see people attempting it 😡
You can’t evolve any of the Pokémon in the Demo, if you could one of the many people who’ve already tried would’ve said so.
I’m having flashbacks to ORAS when there weren’t any more megas
There won’t be new megas.
I’m saying that we were all hoping for new megas from the demo leaks but there werent any. They revealed them all.
I wasn’t, I was expecting them to give up on megas.
Ok but most people did
Star’s referring to how ORAS revealed all Megas before the demo was datamined and people were pissed
It’s comparable to the reaction to the reveal of the SuMo Dex. Not because of no Megas, but because of the low number and lack of certain Pokémon.
Also, I find it fairly obvious they’ll probably go back to Megas in remakes, you’re technically shoving in new content you can get away with.
And XY when we were dissapointed in the dex numbers. I was hoping sun and moon would be an exclusion to those dissapointments, and I’m glad to see that it will be.
I don’t think this is meant to be a definitive list of ALL of the remaining dex,just what some have been able to uncover so far in the coding. For starters, there are surely more unrevealed alolan forms than that, and none of those unrevealed pokemon are the snowman and dolphin ones we know exist thanks to the chinese leak. Komala is 100% getting an evolution, there’s just no way it wouldn’t.
Hope hurts sometimes. 😉
It’s not even hope though, we know for a fact a dolphin and snowman pokemon exist, and this doesn’t mention those. So that confirms it’s not a complete listing.
And the ? can’t be totems
And the gamexplain stuff
And the strange souvenir/mahalo trail statues
Just let me hold onto this ;_;
Snowman and Yeti are the same word in Chinese
Crabrawler’s Evolution, a literal yeti crab
Dolphins are very roughly similar to marlins and swordfish, especially when used vaguely.
Tapu Poni
Is that the tapus real name ?
Nah, it’s Tapu + What we believe it’s island is called (its Hawaiian for purple)
I thought that was a clam hahaaha…
I guess I can see how Crabrawler’s evo would have been called a snowman by a chinese person, but calling Tapu Poni a dolphin is a major major stretch. Still think there’s a few missing (the dolphin line, evo for komala, maybe an evo for pyukumuku, a legendary or two).
Ten Carat hill music is so good, I want to try battling some trainers but I can’t get myself to let the music stop. o.o
I’m legitimately curious now if Alolan Dugtrio can get the Furfrou treatment.
More Pokemon should be customizable.
The only good thing would be Punk hairdos.
That, and Jheri curls.
Mullets would also be acceptably funny.
My question is:
What new pokemon is the mysterious artifact from X and Y based off of. None of them look like the artifact.
Also, what is the secret now with rockruff and the starters that only they share?
These leaks lead me to believe there is more.
Yep.
I’m downloading the demo now. I was 15 years old the last time a new Pokemon game came out…that’s a long time ago in teenage years. I’m excited to readjust to the Pokemon life!
You’re only 17? Wow. For some reason I expected you to be older
Because of Xatu’s wisdom…
The third eye! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Lunala has a third eye…. Reason I love it so much ( Third eye is also one of the best songs ever…)
Thank you, but I think that’s just because of the way I type 😛
I was 13. Ugh I hate my old self so much, I prefer not to think about it.
Ya’ll tiny little babies lol
Wait until you’re in your twenties, you’ll dislike your current self even more probably.
eeeyup
What fun. -____-
As you get older you get better at life in general. And at art
http://silverriolu295.deviantart.com/
look at some of this garbage
Can anyone link me to a pic of morelull’s evo? I can’t help myself.
Don’t set your hopes too high
I love it :/
Even while I am dark type specialist still love it.
That’s good! Some people were just disappointed is all.
https://i.sli.mg/6lhmMp.png
Looks like Satan
That a good point though.
I actually love it! So cute!
The bloody creep is wearing a stupid diaper
disgusting
THIS HAPPENS BUT NOT A KOMALA EVO
It’s kind of a Pokémon tradition to include a two-stage Grass Mushroom In the odd Generations :p
One that spans back to Gen 1 and has outlived Gyms XD
http://i.imgur.com/y9l5V8U.png
I warn you, it’s disappointing.
“I warn you, I find it dissapointing”
FTFY 😛
My opinion is law.
same fam
Litten3 looks so much better in-game! Honestly it looks, in my opinion, better than even Popplio3 and Rowlet3. Never thought I would say that.
Hey everyone,
I found out how Dugtrio got his luscious locks!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/aa5c23b70d542a96acab86834f98a00b5deeab5c2e2f1fa1133998d078113d32.jpg
I still can’t take Dugtrio seriously. WTF is that thing?!
Let’s recycle our old Ampharos jokes from 3 years ago! Yay!
Does anyone else think the leveling up seems to take a bit more? Idk if it’s just because grinding against first stage Pokemon isn’t all that great or if the experience gain is tweaked in the new games.
It definitely runs off of BW’s experience system, so it has changed from X/Y.
And experience may just be nerfed to avoid leveling in the demo since its frankly useless
Do any of you guys get those Home menu selections which advertise demos (like for Disney Art Academy, Yokai Watch 2 and Lost Reavers)? How do I get rid of those?
Yeah I typically choose to delete them
Alolan persian is awful ; n ;
The head…
lol
Idk I think it looks funny lol
It’s one of the pokemon I desparately didn’t want to be funny. I was hoping after seeing how Meowth looked cool that Persian would look cool, but it looks awful ; n ;
i think it’s supposed to look chubby due to it’s pampering. I wouldn’t be surprised if that were the reason anyway lol
It looks like its real world counterpart. Chubby, flat face, everything.
So I think I love the fact that you can use Poke ride anywhere. The fact that ytou can just ride around on Tauros in the middle of the city is great hahaha
Can we talk about these two Pokemon though? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/803a29326e1eb3377ebebcf52b212f8ed6be6594def942692d86a137c0d7a8a4.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/16c4dbe31babc823e4174df0b9900477f1b455cd71748c02b56942b36254f22d.png
they are awesome
If they’re both Bug-Types, they’ll go amongst the best designed Bug-type Pokemon.
#IDidn’tChooseTheBugLife #TheBugLifeChoseMe
either a gem or a plankton
but that Wimpod evo i just love it, or am i just attracted to those long, sharp sexy claws
https://memecrunch.com/meme/OA4D/big-meaty-claws/image.jpg?w=400&c=1
It’s a diving bell spider :p
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5e899fcf550d1fb944f7a8c7936c0329b58c3dfbd0786dea461273a6677c8cf8.jpg
can’t argue with that
Ah, I thought I recognised the design. I’ve seen those things before.
First is meh
Second is surprisingly good. Not a fan of its legs, but the upper part is golden
I would like it a lot more if it was just the head and those appendages connected to it.
I think it will be Bug- Psychic …..I wanna use it but no space left.
Same
Listen……..I honestly think they could pass as creatures that aren’t Pokemon. They’re definitely a step away from the cute and cuddly we’re sued to. That said……DAT WIMPOD EVO IS BALLER!!!
The former yes, the latter feels like a pokemon still. It looks like what a bug type would look if pseudos were bugs instead of dragons.
It reminds me of Haxorus and Garchomp.
Yeah I guess so. Either way they’re both definitely a bit more…..dare I say edgy? lol
I want to know the first ones typing..I think it’s a combo of two of these four: water, dark, electric, bug…
I’ve read it’s Poison/Water, but I’m not sure if that’s real.
Hm, I’m wondering how someone would know
I’m thinking electric/water.
I thought the same.
Even though it’s not my fav, I’m hoping bug/dark or dark/electric. I feel like water is most likely one of its typings though.
It’s on my “accepted as existing but I probably won’t use it” list.
I might, depending on the type. If it’s electric I might drop Vikavolt (despite having a superior design) so that I can use wimpod.
They are awesome and I want them both on my team with a lot of other Pokémon. But that is why I am gettig both games.
Depending on it’s type I’ll probably use the 2nd one.
I’m expcting it will retain its water/bug typing, or maybe become dark/bug or fighting/bug with some luck. But mainly water bug because it wouldn’t make sense if it lost its type.
Bug/Water
I hope it retains Water/Bug.
hope the bottom pokemon is still bug/water
both those pokemon probably be version exclusive -_-
idk why but the bottom one reminds me of a Lurker from Skyrim. Or maybe something related to the creatures in the works of HP Lovecraft. Very alien looking, but Im slowly growing to love it. Ill name mine Cthulhu
nahh it’s a Mirelurk http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/06/Mirelurk.png/revision/latest?cb=20150418180927
That looks a lot like it, but I have never played fallout, just watched others play it
One word
Perfect
