by

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.

  3. My friend just spoiled the datemine, and honestly…

    It’s not that bad. Just confirms a few new things and doesn’t reveal everything.

    • Yeah honestly it does seem like GF tried at least a little. No real story spoilers and it almost seems like we don’t have all the Pokemon. We’re still in for surprises that’s for sure lol

      Reply

      • We received ZERO story spoilers apart from tenuous hooks here and there which I can live with any day. I would rather they data-mine all the available Pokemon than know the whole entire story.

        Reply

        • Oh I totally agree. I actually like seeing all the Pokemon so I can choose for my team. The story I want to see unfold for myself lol

          Reply

        • It is odd that we have pokemon spoilers, but that’s it. No characters, no locations, no text, nothing, just the models. Almost makes you think it was intentional, as crazy as it sounds.

          Reply

          • Probably was: Pokemon’s been trending for the past 48 hours and then some anywhere between #1 to #10. If it weren’t for the data-mine, less people would be talking about it. Creates more conversation from a marketing point of view.

          • Pokemon Sun and Moon are #1 on Facebook right now with over 1 million people talking about it during its peak hours.

  7. Didn’t think I could do it.. but I actually like a Lot of the new pokemon.. just not many right for me to use
    Team:
    Togetic
    Rowlet3
    Litten3
    (Pyukumuku?)
    Rockruff (sun)
    Raichu (alolan)
    Ash Greninja? (likely for league and post game if not pyuk)

  9. the way the demo starts up and closes out is so weird. It’s like it’s resetting the system…..anyone else find this odd?

  12. Any new Pokemon y’all find in the grass? Cause I just found myself a Pikachu and that’s different. Also the night theme is sooo Sinnoh

    Reply

    • Are we 100% sure that there will be Sinnoh remakes this gen?

      I’m all for it, but I don’t know if we have lots of evidence of having it this gen.

      Reply

      • Well, we do have a number of hints.
        -Similar music
        – Team skull use blue and pink for colors, like Diamond a Pearl
        -Mele Mele island has locations based on DIAMOND head and PEARL harbor.
        and the list goes on.

        Reply

          • Name it, no. Melemele is based on the island of Oahu, which is home to both the previous locations. The crater shaped mountain on Mele Mele is clearly Diamond head, and its likely that the harbor in that main city is a reference to pearl harbor, given their similar locations.

        • Indeed, but there is much more evidence going against it unfortunately. Also I think that last one is just a coincidence (maybe not :D)

          I mean, we literally just had a remake on the 3ds. I feel like they are saving sinnoh for the next handhold console.

          UNLESS, the NX is handheld and home console hybrid and Sun and Moon/gen 7 is playable on it.

          Reply

          • And that really doesn’t mean anything. We would have gotten Gen 3 remakes back on the DS if they didn’t decide to go with direct squeals as an idea for a gen, and it backfired. Their not going to put remakes on unproved hardware that they haven’t had much experience with and they have no idea how it’ll sell. I really doubt that we’ll see any main series game on the NX any time soon, and they’ll probably make the Sinnoh remakes on the 3DS to give the handheld a strong sendoff.

          • Maybe… Probably not the NX.

            I mean, I don’t think Black 2 and White 2 was really a bad thing.
            But I feel like they’ll stick to the new handheld console pattern for remakes. Who knows, I might be wrong. It looks like a completely new game and engine in these games so you never know 😀

          • While BW2 weren’t “bad games”, they didn’t sell well. To this day their still the lowest selling main series game. So I don’t find it likely that they’ll ever do a direct squeal again. More likely that they’ll leave a few loose plot threads to be picked up on in the next game, like we’re seeing with Zygarde now.

            Also I wouldn’t call this a new engine. Its more like a modified version of gen 6. Kind of like how gen five used a modified version of gen 4’s engine.

          • Yah… That’s true. But they definitely really improved with the graphics…

            I’m very impressed, and let me just say. sinnoh remakes IN THESE GRAPHICS?!

            HELL. YES

          • Probably because of their proximity to the originals and people feeling like Emerald/Platinum weren’t a big enough change and expected more of the same.

  15. Something I wish was in the demo but can’t wait to do in the real game (that would apply to a number of things honestly): more times of day, like the twilight from the E3 demo or dawn

  16. Something bothers m about …..where’s its eyes?….that’s clear it looks like a blue mask with broken teeth but if these things we saw as a teeth actually its eyes ….its character will completely different ….unlike coconut crab yeti crab can live in water and I don’t believe they can live in snowy habitat …….but I want Fight-ice compo so badly.

  21. So, in each generation I make a special team with all three starters and Pokemon native to that region, named after RPG summon monsters, and I’m working on this gen now that the dex has leaked. I’m a little unsure of my Litten’s name, though. None of the newly unveiled pokemon fit my team, so no real spoilers.

    Rowlet3 (grass/flying) – Garuda
    Litten3 (fire/dark?) – ?????
    Popplio3 (water/fairy?) – Undine
    Vikavolt (bug/electric) – Ark
    Lycanroc (Day) (rock) – Ramses
    Kommo-o (dragon/fighting) – Yojimbo

    I’m so stuck on his name because I’ve used most of the good ones on past generations. Any ideas, friends?

    Reply

  22. So if I know only the stuff that Pokejungle told us on this page, plus an idea of what Marshadow looks like, then am I safe from not knowing most of the dex so far and spoilers?
    Edit: Last thing I’m asking

  24. Wimpod turns into something out of Men in Black.. glad people like it but i dont get it.
    Also i dont feel like seeing ash with a legit toucan.. i need to google what they look like because i cant tell the difference

      • My reasoning is that FRLG is older than Sinnoh. When I first realized this I thought maybe they’ll throw Kanto in with Sinnoh or SuMo, but now with another gen with 99- new Pokémon I’m realizing how taxing 3D models are for GF and how they’re actively trying to lessen their future burdens. SO my thought is that they’all just start doing additional remakes in order to maximize their revenues off of any current engine being used.

        Reply

          • Honestly we if it was as simple as snapping one’s fingers I wish we could have all the regions in every visual style they’ve had over the years… Especially gen 6. I loved the chibi overworld. Though SuMo’s more fully realized world is amazing.

          • HGSS and RSE will always be my favourite stylistically (discounting G7 until I’ve actually got SM in my hands).

          • Yeah, they’d need way more than just Sevii islands, they’d need to give most towns a big revamp, maybe even put a new storyline in place.

          • If it involves Mewtwo I’d be all for it.
            Witnessing Mewtwo having an actual conversation with Giovani in Giovani’s mansion/base would be a nice touch. Even better if they effectively recreate the first film and let you travel to mewtwo’s weird castle/lab island.

          • Yeah, the backstory was there, but RBY suffered from a weak villain storyline. I agree with all you said! Maybe explain Mewtwo and Mew’s origin story and how Newtwo makes its way to Cerulean cave.

          • Yeah, Mewtwo had no backstory in the original because it hadn’t been fleshed out yet. They missed the chance to fix that in the first remakes.

            Tbh Mewtwo is still one of my favourite legendaries because of how deep his backstory goes. He’s not just a legend, he was created in a lab, abused by Giovani, and lived his life stuck between deciding whether humans are good or evil and not really knowing who or what he was.

            That’s something almost everyone can sympathise with – betrayal and being unsure of who you are or what to make of the world.

          • Mewtwo is my favorite legend For the very same reason. He struggles with feeling if he is an abomination or a creature worthy of the life he was given. Honestly, a remake with Mewtwo as the boxart legend would be amazing, but it CANNOT be another simple remake.

          • eh, yeah they are but I’d still probably like them they could do a complete story rehaul or something maybe just set in kanto. TBH I don’t really know how I’d feel about a D/P remake either, I hope I’d like it but I hated the originals more than any other main game

      • I can definitely see it happening one day. Except instead of yet another remake, I would prefer a brand new story set entirely in present day kanto. Everything in beautifully rendered 3D as well as updates on all the Pokemon. Plus Think of how much Kanye has changed in 20 years! Regardless I don’t see this happening until next decade

      • Gamefreak have a real boner for Kanto. I’ll bet it’s coming back at some point, in some form, to the main games.
