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’m actually glad we’re getting roughly the same amount of new Pokémon as last gen. GF clearly wants us to get rid of our expectations from the old days. I’m sure it’s a headache recreating all the Pokémon with every new graphical jump. If they had done 100+ then the following gen when they did 99- again everyone would be pissed again. Now we can just come to terms with reality and get back to being excited!
Nintendo is still on a whole a bit behind other games and consolesin terms of graphics :/ Wii U Pokemon game!
Not really what I was talking about. Nintendo’s lack of desire to compete in the WHOAH GRAPHIX war doesn’t bother me. Call of Duty might be pretty but it’s boring AF. Gimme Mario Galaxy any and every day of the week over Assassin’s Creed or Halo.
I think the anchor could be a steel type. It reminds of Klingklang. By it’s design I am guessing Steel, Steel/Water, Steel/Grass, of Steel/Ghost are possible typing a it could have. Steel Steel Steel.
Loving some of these new Pokemon. The Alola designs are really making me lol. Dugtrio now would make any mega Ampharos jealous 😉
I wonder if someone already drew Mega Amphabulous dueling with Alolan Dugtrio…
Has anyone Considered the Strange Souvenir in all thise? After looking at all the Models it really seems to me like we might not be getting everything… Because i know for a fact that None of the Tapu’s, Solgaleo, or Lunaala look like the strange souvenir…
The Anchor guy maybe
I doubt it.
Yea I said that without really realizing what we were talking about. I’m tired lmao
I feel like the strange souvenir is more a hint to hawaii
The text of the Strange Souvenir literally says this. “An ornament depicting a Pokémon that is venerated as a protector in some region far from Kalos.” It sounds like its referencing the Tapu’s but none look like it…
It probably isn’t accurate but tapu koko is masked at least…
True but the Strange Souvenir IS Depicted as a Smiling Ape like creature.
And none of the Tapu’s appear to have a smiling ape appearance, i could be wrong though.
If I’m stretching it a bit I think it just represents the fact they got a mask or stuff… but yeah not looking like it…
I’d be surprised if they can keep a secret. Or if they remembered to remove the two other event Pokemon…
I doubt the mythic pokemon were reveled. We didn’t get Hoopa and Valcanion until after a few patches. I think there will be at least 3 more Mythics if Marshadow is one, then 2. I think there will be a Tapu of the 5th Island as one Hawaiian Island was never used in Alola.
BTW, Magearna is already Mythic Pokemon #1…
It may be a Mythical. We have only seen Magearna and Marshadow, there bound to be another.
Or All 4 Guardians forms to make it?
Maybe… but we would have to see… The appearance is a Smiling Ape creature…
is here litten’s funeral?
No. I like Litten line

Hey so the demo came out in Japan and some people managed to datamine it already now I wont show you anything spoiler wise but I do want to show you that the final evolved forms are confermed %100
Still a spoiler.
I don’t think anyone still believed they were fake though
Ohhhh you have no idea how many people were still in denial even with the overwhelming amount of proof that these were legit
I was in denial but deep down I knew they were legit haha

wow the tiger is buff this season.
While the seemingly small amount of new pokemon is a little disappointing, I gotta say they made some really cool additions. And why is no one talking about the weird metroid spider???
Well it doesn’t have a name so it is hard to talk about it… and yes some people are talking about adding it to their team and comparing it to Aliens.
I’m excited to find out what its story is. So weird looking.
Yeah, I wonder if there’ll even be a trailer for it…
At least in ORAS the info stopped coming out after the demo but I heard there will be more soon.
I’ve talked a ton about it… Like how I need it in my life :3
I was fiddling in the demo a bit more, and was wondering if Jungle’s still updating their posts with info found in the demo, and if they wanted anything from it in regards to the Z-Stones/Moves at all?
sorry to be a pain haha :’) still trying to figure out what the community here is actually interested inSure dude, just mark it with a spoiler tag 1st.
I actually think the starters look really nice in the game 🙂 The 3d is alot better than the artwork. Im happy enough 🙂
okay so my team can go two different ways.. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1529cf9d419626fbd013a59c9ea88855f5f7dfe783ac6ca1edcdc8fde742d338.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/89f00e53ddf6d5514e3687387751f9f462e6b5614b31538d7d71136758c20872.jpg
That’s more than half my team
Great trainers think alike lol
More that this region is lacking bruisers which is my natural style
Agreed.
Kommo-O is the only bruiser you need.(besides Toughpod)
So mono water run.
Popplio, Wishiwashi, Pyukumuku, Bruxish, Wimpod, Sivally
There, it barely fits.
-__- it’s not fair….I haven’t had a full 6 Mono team since Sinnoh…..
Change type. 🙁
Also there’s enough bruisers so at least that’s good.
Why I don’t think I will use rowlet3 ever
Player x sent out Rowlet 3
Player y sent out Weavile( life orb )
Player x switched out
Weavile used sword dance
Weavile used knock off
Weavile used low kick
Weavile used Ice shard/icicle crash
It will die to any ice attack but them Ice Shards are its worst nightmare
Opponent had Weavile on team. Let me send out Rowlet 3 as my first Pokemon. Hurr Durr.
Rowlet having 4x weakness to ice means it’s useless. Weavile having 4x Weakness to Fighting….it’s ok, still amazing Pokemon.
Well to be fair the first entry is random which makes or breaks a game
And that can happen regardless of the Pokemon. The opponent send out Weavile I send out Conkeldur or Scizor. I win that time. Next game something else happens and I lose the match up.
It’s part of the game.
If the scenario above did happen I would assess my team and my opponents team and probably just attack with Rowlet 3 to prevent the set up, if I didn’t have anything to handle a +2 Weavile
Same logic could be used on Salamence. Its viability not only depends on typing, movesets and stats heavily factor in as well.
You are overexaggerating. OU is full of 4x weak Pokemon and Weavile is even one of them.
I couldn’t help myself. Not sure what to think.
None of us do
Scary nightmare hacked Pokemon
quagsire with sap sipper (leftovers)
cosmic power
Aromatherapy
Swagger
Toxic
Substitute Klefki and Mega Sableye can beat that though…

So the starters only have one evolution, not two like first thought with Rockruff. So what makes them connected is not the evolution. There’s something more that we are yet to understand.
Where does it even say that the starters have something in common with lycanroc?
It was a CoroCoro leak that came with the initial leak of Rockruff.
Or it could be a simple mistranslation as has been stated multiple times, but drowned in all the hype.
Maybe they all have unique Z moves?
I guess the days of +100 new Pokemon are gone then?
Well, if you think about it, we have 8 Ultra Beasts, 18 Alolan Forms, and 81 new Pokémon, so that’s not bad.
Hey Dicie, has it been confirmed that UBs are catchable?
I’m not entirely sure, but I would lean towards no.
Why have shiny forms then?
UFO from pokestar studios has a shiny form….
It appears as while we do have all of the SM Pokémon, not all of the models made it into the files.
my team for now https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2ed88b2009a11aa0425b687528031e1dceb2878b99f3df17a1765b63b31d07de.jpg
Why so many fire types? its my fav type along side Dragon but just wondering..
I am so freaking excited for this game.
In all honesty how many people do y’all think got fired yesterday???
I think it is still the same day for them.
Yeah you’re right.
can some one tell me if the usa gets the pokemon demo
So no new fossils, mediocre amount of legends, lots of standalones and no new Megas.
One day, we’ll get that Stego fossil poke.
We have at least 8 legends already… that’s mediocre?
Whimpods evo is basically exactly like I predicted: a mirelurk from fallout. Also, Alolan geodude line sucks, and alolan persian is SO disappointing.
Alolan Persian makes me shudder. Alola Golem’s tinier arms are… unexpected.
Wimpod though is awesome!
Wimpod is indeed awesome. is there no evo for komala…?
As of now? No idea.
Shudder Mirelurks always gave me troubles…or was that fire ants
On the whole, I’m disappointed with Alolan forms. It seemed like a good idea but they’ve come poorly designed and uninspired.
Yeah… Not sure why they didn’t go with an above-the-surface diglett tbh.
They’re a bit mixed. Some are great (Vulpix, Ninetales). Some, like Dugtrio…lol no.
DUGTRIO IS FAB AND YOU KNOW IT! HOW DARE YOU!
They just literally slapped a wig on it. gamefreak…living up to their nickname ‘trollfreak’ xD
It ain’t a wig. You know it, I know it, Glenn Cocoa knows it.
I do like the earlier released ones. Can’t say the same for the new ones.
Give credit to Muk, it’s coloring actually has relevance
(team skull paint anyone?)
Yeah they exexcuted this idea all wrong
This is not the whole Pokedex. There’s gonna be at least 100 Pokémon same gen 2. Komala, Turtonator, Drampa, Passimian, and Oranguru evos, the fossil Pokémon, and the dolphin, snowman, and strange souvenir Pokémon are yet to be shown. In the upcoming video on oct 27 is when we are gonna to figure things out. This pokedex is incomplete. Gotta be….

Shiny Zygarde and Starters https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6d197903f2693ef6c84442b491f21283d3d11dad6b3520e89ffe7eb019699426.png
Rowlet continues to remain the best
I GOT LITTEN RIGHT
I pointed that out last night! XD Nicely done!
Mods should remove or spoilerize the pic though…
Why? We’re on an article entitled ‘sun moon demo leaks new Pokemon’ that clearly warns in red ‘spoilers in the comment section’. if you’re here and expecting to not be spoiled, you’re in the wrong place 😛
Finally saw all the leaks, kinda disappointed that we got so few Pokemon again this generation.
By the looks of things, my team will look something like Rowlet final, Mudsdale, Salandit final, Alolan Ninetales, Crabrawler final (if it doesn’t turn part Water type to affect my next choice), and Wimpod final.
My god, Wimpod final was the best thing in the leak.
Agreed, after seeing his evo i decided to put him back on my team
