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.
I don’t know what this Pokemon is… help!

Rhydon?
Growlithe or Rockruff?
Where was this taken from?
Probably rockruff.
The status shouldn’t be a pokemon all the time right?……wat if I told u it could be Marshadow.
Hmm… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/50893b2a83323bd2e1265567007dd6159fd26a3c2f8028e59b6571dbe348b000.png
It shares Ghost/Fairy with Mimikyu and maybe the purple Tapu tho
Hey I’m awake! How long was I… Hey cousin your finally here!!!!
Your cousins are ugly. Tell them to scalp themselves.
But wouldn’t that make me a bad Diglett to be telling them what to do when I’m in their home now?
No. You’d be helping them.
They said no they want to grow it to become a surfer
Don’t mind Natsu, they just have bad taste. Sia, Tay-Tay and Madonna ‘gon teach them
Gaga and Mimi are my queens, don’t reference those names (except Sia because I adore her) in my presence… jk! 😀
I guess Gaga could work instead of Tay-tay. At least then the FabTrio would be based off of talented artists.
Am I just stupid? I can’t figure out how to tweet at someone.
do you have their twitter handle?
wut
their username
The @ thing?
Aye, the @ thing.
You probably don’t use twitter enough you are not stupid
I’m surprised that the data miners didn’t confirm that the ultra beasts can be caught in the game.
But Ash-Pikachu can
TFW Kukui calls the player “cousin”…
Lilo & Stitch reference anyone?
not a reference…
that’s just a normal thing in alola/hawaii
Weird. Komala’s definately a reference though right? ; n ;
Im pretty sure they actually do that in Hawaii
Not really that’s a real custom in Hawaii so it is but it also is just natural
Weird.
Then again…
*comes from an area of England where some people refer to each other as ‘me luvver’*
https://www.gamnesia.com/news/nintendo-confirms-you-can-catch-ultra-beasts-in-pokemon-sun-moon
Well there you have it lol
I cant wait to catch very Ookémon
Awesome!
All I want to know is what types they will be.
I was thinking that this would be a good opportunity for them to make legendary Pokemon with three types at once. UB02 Expansion could be Bug/Fighting/Dark for example.
And UB02 Beauty could be Bug/Fairy/Ghost? I actually would like legendary Pokémon to have three types, but I know it’s not going to be possible.
Yeah you gotta admit that if it did happen it would be pretty awesome.
URGHHHH whyyyy… Why couldn’t they just let them be uncatchable story bosses so we wouldn’t have to see them again. They clash so badly with the pokémon aesthetic it hurts. IMO they’re just a waste of development time and code in the first place.
Oh well, at least some people are happy about it…
I agree 100%.
Yeah I have to agree they are quite different from what we typically get. I would have thought they’d be uncatchable too. I always got the feeling that unlike Pokemon (animals essentially) They were of higher intellect and more on the level of humans in a way. Which is why I wouldn’t have thought them catchable.
Alakazam has an IQ of 200… (Damn, kind of feels like slavery now I think about it)
I agree that they don’t really seem like catchable pokemon.
Well……ok yeah Alakazam is a bit different, but you get what I mean. Avoiding the whole enslaving of animals thing is wrong part you’d think that the UB’s weren’t on the same level as Pokemon and thus wouln’t be able to be caught lol
I’d say the reasoning is more that they’re from a different dimension and they look completely different, but yeah, they don’t look ‘catchable’.
(I liked Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker, you didn’t catch monsters, you sort of overpowered their will and they agreed to join you. Just for the sake of mentioning it :P)
I love Kukui’s theme. It sounds so romantic
Sycamores theme nuff said
I’m gonna sleep now and hopefully more stuff gets leaked while I’m asleep because that usually happens.
You can catch Ultra Beasts. Oh God no…….. noooooooooooo…….
Wat the point of them then?
A dark stain on the Pokedex…
How many people have already gotten the demo? I’m getting mine on Thursday.
Almost everyone here I expect.
Downloaded it at 11am this morning whilst in the shower 😛
Why haven’t you gotten it yet?
I’m not old enough to drive yet and my parents are busy when I come home. I have Thursday off so I could go early when my dad’s not working.
The demo is on the e-shop?
Yeah
It’s an eshop demo.
Yeah.
Oh wait. I’m stupid. I can’t play on weekdays though, so…
Oooooh ok that makes more sense lol I was gonna say you don’t have to go anywhere to get the demo lol
Why do you need to drive to get the demo?
Yeah.
My buddy at GameStop gave me some extra Volcanion code cards. I have 4 of them if anyone needs one 🙂 I’ll be home in about an hour
I was going to go into town to get some, but if nobody else desparately needs them (i.e. actually can’t get to a place that does them) I wouldn’t mind not having to go to town XD
They are region locked.
Dang, didn’t know that.
What region is Scizor from though?
They said Gamestop, so probably not a Pal region.
Derp, too many comments to read, not taking it all in XD
Oh well *pencils in trip to town*
US
my country doesn’t have a gamestop so if you’d be so kind to give me one :3
I can only give it to people in the US regions
They’re region locked. I can only give them out if you are in a US region
I could use one! 😀
Are you in the us region?
Are you in a US region
Please! I live in Brazil and there’s no way for me to get one. 🙂
Okay lol. I’ll message everyone that asked for one when i get home
Thank you SO much! I can give you a shiny if you want, got some. 🙂
Nah. I’ll just give it to you 🙂 I don’t need anything in return
OK, thanks a lot then! If you change your mind though, lemme know, it’d be a pleasure to help you back somehow.
Are you ready for the code? I’d recommend having your DS on just so no one tries to take it lol
I’m here! 😀 and ready. :))
A6z7gtgdxggr2ee3
It worked just fine!!! I cannot thank you enough. Here’s hoping all the best for you!! <3
Glad it worked! Enjoy da Volcanion! If there’s anymore that come out at GameStop let me know and I’ll get an extra one for you 🙂
Thank you very much! If you want some shiny, maybe I got the one you need. Or anything else! Let me know. I’ll enjoy it, it’s Modest so it’s perfect really. :))))
Oh nice! I can add you to my friends list if you want. I usually give away by breedjects sometimes and love trading lol
Please do! I don’t know how to do it hahaha… x)))
I heard they’re region locked, so make sure you check people’s regions first. (I’m in PAL so an NTSC one won’t work aparently)
Pharap, for Brazil it’s the same as the USA’s. I believe it won’t work outside the Americas though…
That was a general comment, not specific to your case.
Of course, thanks anyway for you help and concern mate. 😉
I want one! Please!
ARE you in a US region
I’m in Brazil, so yes. 🙂
Sorry about the late response. Let me know when you’re ready for it
That’s ok! Im ready.
When I’m done with work I’ll give you the code 🙂
Ok, I’ll be waiting. Thank u!
Ready? 🙂
Ready!
Okay here’s the code! A6z7gsddasfja9hm
It worked! o/ Thanks to you my National Dex is finally complete! Thank you very much! Arceus bless you! :DDDD
No problem!
Why is there a crack in the wall next to the line of slowpoke?
in the main game you can use the poke finder
That makes sense.
I’m surprised they didn’t let us do it in the demo. Doesn’t seem like something they’d need to keep from us lol
The better question is why won’t those things die after I ram into them with Tauros
Everything would die if Tauros could actually do damage. I’m gonna make it my main form of transportation once the games come out lol
The kid you battle first didn’t, believe me I tried.
Tauros, the gentle rampaging beast!
because you can catch the UB, would we consider them technically pokemon?
I guess………*sigh*……….
Depends how they’re presented within the plot. I’m surprised, but not disappointed, since they represent humans very clearly. So are we technically catching human-robot crossovers? Robots with human souls?
imo: if they have abilities, we can use them in battle and have base stats they are pokemon. in a way they are the pokemon of the future
IKR! They should be considered as Pokémon! Maybe a different race or species of Pokémon?
Maybe we’re heading into a new breed of Pokemon so to speak. You all see them edgy Pokemon we got in SuMo now? lol #WimpodEvo
The Hashtag. That is all. <3
Probably, however they are a danger to both human and Pokémon according to the main website.
Someone suggested the name Champod for its evolution, and that is so incredibly genius I might end up naming it that regardless.
That would be cool. To me, I see Wimpod as the next Magikarp that can actually do something.
I WAS JUST SAYING THAT!! Hahahaha
Lol! Well at least it’s evolution look kinda cool.
Yeah honestly I think the idea of Wimpod being this gens Magikarp might have been spot on. I can see its evo being super strong and worth the endless attempts of wimpod trying to escape from battle lol
Very very, excruciatingly, begrudingly, sadly, yes.
It has been confirmed? Oh man….
Lol expect a big incoming reaction paragraph, I’ve a lot to say about all this and how the pitiful number of unrevealed mons made me decide to just give in to spoilers just like for X and Y.
Out of curiosity, what are people considering worthy of a spoiler tag here?
Also about that weird bug line that was one of the only completely new things, people are saying it’s a water spider, and that definitely seems to be an element… BUT when I saw them, the first thing I thought was “OMG VIRUS POKÉMON Virus pokémon!” . I’m pretty sure I’m right bout this, it’s especially true of the prevo that looks an awful lot like a bacteriophage, and their general alien look is better explained. Thoughts? Has anyone else said this?
Oh, I’d love for that to be the case.
I’m leaning towards water spider tbh
Doesn’t look virusy enough.
Also I don’t really thing it warrants spoiler tags, this place has pretty much become a spoiler free-for-all.
Eh, I’m gonna stick to my virus interpretation, I’m pretty convinced.
I guess the jury is out, we’ll see how the consensus settles when it all goes mainstream.
So I’ve composed a tweet but the “tweet” box is faded out and won’t let me click on it. What does that mean?
Too many characters maybe.
Yep. Man they really limit those things.
Hooray for Sirene! 😀
I really don’t know what to feel about the whole Ultra Beasts thing, man..
I vote “upset” and “annoyed”.
I think it’s great. Seems like we’ll have a pretty beefy plot for SM. So far, we have a UB storyline, a Solgaleo/Lunala storyline, and a Zygarde storyline.
Which I’m all for, since it gives a brand new threat to the games other than “I’m a big baddie who wants to take over the world”.. However, I’m disappointed that they are catchable, since they’re not even considered “Pokemon” or even remotely resemble one.
Now it’s “I’m a big baddie from another dimension who wants to take over the world”
“But you can catch me if you want”
Don’t want, don’t want.
Plus what the h*ll your father has been up to for years.
I love what they add to the story, I wish they weren’t catchable, but it doesn’t matter too much. I hope they get formal names though.
I Nothing them. Perhaps time will change that. They don’t look like Pokémon at all to me.
I don’t really see the problem. It’s great for people who wants to catch them. If you don’t, just don’t catch them and be happy about it too. People tend to overcomplicate stuff, but in this case really, there’s no reason to do it at all.
Can’t be happy about not catching them, that would leave Pokedex gaps.
About the UB…
Maybe they are not catchable at all in the story mode fights they feature in (like say, happens when Ghetsis’ staff repels your Pokeballs), but if you’re a hacker and spawn them in a wild battle they will be.
Oh, and before you say uhhh then only hackers will have UB’s, well only hackers will get UFO’s and Eternal Floettes anyway…
I think that’s wishful thinking, but I hope so.
Well that’s what we’re doing until the release right? Wishing and hoping, grasping at straws? HEH HEH HEH. <3
My faith in gamefreak gets very thin sometimes *looks at Morelull’s evo and the UBs*
Bahahaha. Yeah. It’d take them a massively epic fail before I stop buying their games though.
Question to all who are around: If I change my avatar to a new Pokemonfrom the data mine….would everyone be ok with that or would that be a faux pas? I won’t show off a new Pokemon if anyone still wants to stay away from them lol
I was going to do that for the Morelull evo but I thought against it
I’ve been struggling with this as well. I’m waiting out of respect for others.
Yeah same that’s why I ask hahaha
That’s a bit of a false question since everyone still here has accepted the leaks and the people who don’t accept them won’t be around until the next non-leak article.
That’s fair, but I’m sure there are some people who would like to keep at least some of the new mons secret. Twas just asking out of respect lol
I mean it’s impossible for most people here to say since we’d effectively be giving an answer on behalf of other people. Best wait until a new article and then ask people who genuinely don’t want stuff leaked how they would feel.
I’m entirely expecting a ‘no’, but for the sake of being fair and absolutely certain 😛
You could always do a Riddler style “Rock Paper Scissors/Organs” thing.
true. I’ll probably wait lol
Same here lol
I mean, my avatar is kinda a spoiler already, so just go for it I’d say.
Eh, but yours is different since it’s just Rowlet……a very sexy shiny version of Rowlet that is lol
Totally getting one or two of these things. xD
Olivia is so much fun to draw but all of the necklaces and ties and things are crazy
Get it, girl. Lol (I love her.)
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f9316becbba030c6ed22ef92e77f14304c778cc2fcdcc12ab15830bbd72f024d.gif
Damn girl! She’s got quite the……..booty……lol
She has side boob action going on… xD
This! this is true too hahahaha
She’s the best!!!
Jellyfish, Mosquito, Insectoid thing, Cables, Bamboo, Origami, Mouth Crab Thing, Carbon…
I’m getting that Yokai Watch vibe.
I’m getting inspirational, well thought out, and creative vibes.
Bamboo, muscquito, and galaxy eater make me so happy, I love the UBs.
I should’ve been asleep hours ago, night all zzzz….
night!
You can assign ride pokemon to the D-Pad! Neat!
Yup! Should come in handy a lot!
I wonder if the bike will be back
Predicting no
Damn after 6 entire generations
Gyms. Nuff said.
Well I mean riding a Tauros is way cooler in my opinion
I’m half and half. It feels faster, but I think Tauros is a bit on the large side compared to NPCs, also makes grass harder to avoid.
Alright, after too many struggles for a single tweet, I now await a response from one of the GameXplain-ers. Hopefully it isn’t just disregarded for the amount of effort it took lol.
What was the tweet about?
Basically they claimed there saw more than 1 new Pokemon during their 2-hour playthrough of the game, but the dumps don’t seem to show and early stage Pokemon. Aside from the fact that there are supposedly 9 left, the possibility we haven’t seen everything is high, and we’re gonna try to confirm that.
Gotcha. I wonder if they’d be willing to (or at least allowed to) comment on the data mining leaks. I would assume they are under a NDA so they may not even be able to answer.
Perhaps so. I can’t take another month of waiting though. THERE MUST BE MORE
And there will be. Have patience, I have no doubt there will be more.
So wait they’re 9 left? Really when was this found out about?
