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

- 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.

Nice, he had a secret crabrawler in the end…
I feel like this pokedex isn’t complete. Not because it’s small but because there is no mention of the other Tapu’s (and we know that there are others). That seems strange to me. But I may be wrong and they might just be one of the Pokemon revealed but with no context we wouldn’t know they were Tapus
The other Tapus were leaked
I swear they better not be all Fairies
That Bull one is my absolute last chance for a Ground/Fighting type
I do have a feeling they’ll all be part fairy unfortunately
Says who, one of them is part fairies its poor assumption that they all are
They all look a bit cute
I know. I’m getting tired of this fairy typing. It’s already outnumbering classic types. When fairies were announced I thought they live up to the occult that they are and be scarce.
The bull as ground/fighting would be awesome!
That’s an exaggeration, there’s still way more normal types than everything else.
It’s not an exaggeration at this point they outnumber at least Ghost/ice and possibly now dark. :/
Ah, you don’t mean “all” but “some” classic types. Carry on.
Well dark and ghost are probably lumped in one category which GF balances with all other types.
And Ice is getting bad treatement all the time.
Yeah, didn’t all. 🙂
Ghost and Dark are two out of my three favorite types. (Psychic being the third). It makes me sad that there wasn’t a confirmed new Dark type.
Well we have 3-4 ghost evo lines at least…
But fat fuckng chance I’ll get one now…..
This means I have to wait until gen 8! And that’s super freaking long for something that should’ve been made years ago….
They’ll share the elemental type with the oricorios, and Fairy.
Psychic/Fairy
Electric/Fairy
Ghost/Fairy
Fire/Fairy.
Like I’ve been saying since Oricorio.
Never mind then :/ it’s stuff like this that makes me truly detest the Pokemon fandom sometimes… Like why can’t people just be patient -___-
Error 404 on the other thread… what did I miss!? Lol
Hi! Yep it got wiped off the face of the earth. But you can still access the stuff we talked about here.
Darn! I knew I shouldn’t have gone to sleep! Sigh. Lol
Yeah, the leaks include images of the entire dex (scroll down a bit), plus some moves.
Oh, people have been posting them here? Cool!
I believe this is the full Dex but it’d be funny if GF planned all of this so that we’d still be shocked by new Pokémon in the final game lol
i rly hope thats the case. I would be very dissapointed if thats all the new mons we get.
Don’t hold your breath.
Am I the only one who thinks Diglett and Dugtrio are Ground/Grass. The hair feels like it’s supposed to be some plant that grew due to Alola’s climate
As long as they’re ground
All I have for my Ground Mono is
Mudsdale
Pallosand
Ground Silvally
And that’s it
I need at least 2-3 more to be full
Are you going to use any old Pokémon at all or nah?
Absolutely not
If I wanted to use old Pokemon I’d play they game they debuted in
That’s why Gen 5 is forever the best
SO MANY GROUND
I was referring to how they forced us to use new Pokemon
Don’t forget Alolan golem (unless there’s a type change)
It’s rock/electric. Didn’t keep the correct type.
How do you know
Well to be fair no Alola Form so far has kept its original typing (even Alolan Raichu had Psychic added on) and it has what appears to be a railgun on its back, as well as being theorised to be drawing metal to itself via magnetic capabilities.
Maybe. I think their designs are quite lazy. I liked Alola forms which completely changed type like nine tails and sandslash more
they are bit lazy but its really funny
What is the Pokemon count ( excluding alolas and the horrendous UBs?
Who else is feeling more hyped about Tsareena? Since Tsareena is one of the few Pokémon with a three staged evolution line it must be pretty powerful.
Am I reading this right? Ash Pikachu? As in they took that one episode of Johto where he accidentally got turned into a Pikachu by a witch and they made a real Pokemon out of it?
As in he wears Ash’s hats lol
Awww…..I liked my idea more.
So i’ve seen all the pokemon in a link from the comment section but are the names revealed too ?
Nah there weren’t name leaks since dex data was scrubbed clean and were replaced by pikachu data. GF only forgot to remove images.
Ah i thought some guy in the comment section used names i haven’t seen before they looked like they could be the final evo of litten and crabrawler’s evo
They were just guessing/making up names sadly.
People who don’t wanna guess just call it things like Crabrawler2 or something.
after alot of complaining and raging, i’ve come to my senses im ok with this now, all the pokemon this gen are greatly designed imo none of them feel lazy except some alolan forms but thats just me, i cant wait for sun and moon now
Is marshadow that little ball of fluff?
yep
I hope so. Lol
Yeah but I guess it’s other forms might not be in the code or maybe that is its only form? Idk
It looks a good contender to be Dark/Fairy
Alolan Persian looks like it’s been stung in the face by a Vespiquen…
Vespiquen confirmed for Alola dex?
i mean atleast it looks different instead of being persian but purple
I was hoping it would be grey but alive an Egyptian vibe going for it
Does anyone think Pikipek’s final evo might be a Dark/Flying-Type?

They look surprisingly vicious for toucans e-e
Im still surprised pikipek becomes a toucan
Keep dreaming bub it ain’t happening
Oh shush, people thought
Komala was going to evolve and Type: Null wasn’t
And its just harmless speculation :/
*runs off crying*
Fairy! Did you see Wimpod’s evolution!? 😀 Definitely sticking with Wimpod for my story!
Wimpod’s evo is top notch for its narrative 😀
I love that little guy! It makes me happy they did it justice! :*D
This one disappoints…
Marshadow looks exactly how I pictured my Lullabye idea.
-79 new Pokemon
-around 80% revealed before release
-reports of demo running like crap on Old 3ds systems
-Ash-Pikachu
MMMMMMMMM
I thought this would be a regular morning but not at all! This is awesome! I’m so excited for this game!
So, the Riddler was right for the most part, but wrong for some details.
Such as the toucan being Pikipek all along.
Oh puhlease the moment Dexio had a toucan shirt everyone thought a Toucan would appear
Saying it was the riddler makes you a blind faithed sheep
You must be the one who’s blind, becuase nowhere did they mention the Riddler was the one who revealed the toucan.
The Riddler did, however, add it to his list of hints that have all been correct so far, but did not put it beside Pikipek like he put the staff next to Jangmo-o.
You’re all nuts
Says the one denying the guy who consistently hinted at Pokémon that turned out true
Dude there are so many things he got right. It’s not a matter of worshipping a leaker. It’s a matter of acknowledging the objective reality.
No I mean, when the riddler added the toucan, he added it midway, instead of after Pikipek, which is what would have been logical
Pikipek turns into the toucan? :/
Sadly,. though I did put that in a spoilertag so you didn’t have to sadden yourself.
Oh, oops. 😛
It makes no sense. Oh well, we still have staraptor and talonflame
And Swellow, beautiful Swellow.
What about Aristotle
Yes exactly, where does that come in, it’s strange. He may have thrown in some false stuff, or most of it was just very lucky guesswork.
i just LOVE wimpod’s evo! i knew it’s evolution would be epic! it’s alot like magikarp in that department 🙂 definitely having it on my team 😀
Reminds me of those things from Star Wars, that curl into balls and shoot you
Wimpod to Wimpgod!
I call it Carapod
Carapod, eh? Sounds like a legitimate name.
I would like other Pokejunglers thought on this speculation of mine:
The transition from Crabrawler to Yeti Crabrawler seems kind of…odd. This is probably what the Chinese leaker meant by Snowman but I am not sure if Crabrawler will get an ice typing along with it’s fighting typing. Since it is already a crab I would have expected it to be water/fighting but that didn’t happen-that could be due to its design being a land-based crab. Nevertheless, I don’t see any other viable ice types in this gen of Pokémon (besides Alola forms) so I am hoping that Yeti Crabrawler is Ice/Fighting. It probably grew this “fur coat” (correct me if it is not actually a fur coat) in response to cold conditions. However, this flavor text leads to the problem of how it is going to evolve because most of Alola is pretty warm so there wouldn’t be a need to get a fur coat. Thus, it is in my opinion that Crabrawler evolves with the Ice Stone which has already been revealed and is probably used to evolve Alola Vulpix.
I can dig it
Alaskan King Crabs
Yeti Crabs
i´m curious that this is the whole dex .. still haven´t found the guardian which looks like the strange souvenir .. moreover .. there are still some open spaces in the demo-dex (if i can belive the rumour)
So I’m assuming that we can caputre Ultra Beasts since they each have Shiny Forms
Yes. But I never will
Well, you can’t capture the UFO, Brycenman and Eternal Floette and they all have shiny forms…
For my fairy type mono
Popplio3
Morellul2
Cutiefly2 / tapu pokemon
Comfey
Mimikyu
Alolan ninetails
Truth be told there aren’t really THAT MANY new fairy types. I think people are pissed only because there are less total pokemon.
I hope either a psychic or electric terrain based team is viable for VGC. I wanna use Alola Raichu 🙂
Well, Tapu Koko and Alolan Raichu might work. Especially if Alolan Raichu learns Surf.
I’m a competitor, and if it works, even in just the Battle Facility, I’ll let everyone know.
I’m dissappointed. It seem the total Pokemon is going to be just above 800, so only ~80 new ones. Not sure if this counts Alolans or UBs.
That’s sad. Also no new steel types worth using. 2 legendaries and a Pikachu Clone.
So you think Alolan Sandslash isn’t worth using?
Also if you want you can use Steel Sivally.
So that’s 5 steels already…
6 Legendaries. The Tapus.
He means steel types.
The two steel legendaries are Solgaleo and Magearna.
Ooooh. My B. Dur.
It’s a shame. But we still have the graphics and story to look forwards ro! And many of the new Pokemon are great, it’s just there’s not many so people are going to have similar teams.
I don’t think we have everything… Because After reviewing the appearance of all the models for the leaked pokemon, none bare even the SLIGHTEST resemblance to the Strange Souvenir from Pokemon X and Y and ORAS. Not even any of the Tapu’s look like the Strange Souvenir…
I’m hoping GF were smart enough to keep a some secrets away from the demo. But it does look grim.
I saw the Pokémon Anazon accidentally leaked and it seemed to be based on a sea urchin
