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 feel like this is starting to become a trend. Didn’t somebody on the Pokemon team said that they felt like they were making too many Pokemon to keep up with? I feel like this will be a pattern. Under a 100 Pokemon each gen along with some new forms or megas to compensate ugh.
People can’t argue that Alolan forms are new pokemon.
It’s a very, very lazy excuse.
They kind of *are* new Pokemon, though. New artwork, new type, new movepool. New evolution method, for some.
They’re a stretch at best.
So what’s the secret Rockruff shares with the starters? Slip evos for them are out of the picture, right?
Their secret was never said to be shared, just that they all have ond.
I hope there’s a comment below with all the pictures. As much as I don’t want spoiled, I want to see. ..
Check Kaphotics channel on YT
I have a pic, but I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post it. 😛 Serebii’s FB page has it in the comment sections of Alola Dugtrio’s thread.
https://sli.mg/a/4HOcnq
Whoa…can anyone link me to pictures of all these things?
Kaphotics channel on YT, 3 part video with all pics or check verlisifys video, there is a link in description
never say that name here
Ok
We don’t talk about that edgy, juvenile trashlord here.
It is on the 2nd part of the video with the 3rd part having the shinies.
https://sli.mg/a/4HOcnq
So live in Est and I can’t find the demo in Eshop. I know we can’t play it until 10:00 am, but does that also mean it can’t be found on the Eshop through conventional means? Also do we need to know our password to purchase the demo, because I seem to have forgotten mine.
it’s going live in half an hour
Thanks for the clarification.
Thank you for that earthen! I was pissed seeing everyone else on YouTube playing that I knew was in America lol
I just saw the whole leaked Pokedex. That’s a whole lot to chew in one morning.
https://hi-chew.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/sticks/strawberry-dec9518657d2f5fd9e7f90c3312e3345.png
Whole lot to chew?
We only got, like ten more.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CvCdee6WYAAvwOE.jpg:large
Here’s the entire dex so far (spoilers)
Not counting UBs and Alolan Forms, there’s 73 new Pokémon…they couldn’t even bring it up to 800..
there is also mons whos pic werent part of the leaked pokedex images
Is that confirmed that we don’t know every single new Pokémon yet?
yea dataminers found black spots near some pokemon
I still live by Quality over Quantity and Gen 7 Doesn’t disappoint
At least there’s still moves and abilities that we don’t know about yet.
I was hoping for more Pokemon this time around, I won’t lie. I understood the 6th gen was small because GF were focusing on megas, as well as the massive transition to the 3D engine…I hoped that now they had that figured out, they could give us a nice big juicy dex.
Don’t get me wrong, quality over quantity is nice. But 20 or so more Pokemon (and NOT Alola forms) would have been nice, too.
Maybe it just feels underwhelming because they showed us so much of it in the pre-release? I kept thinking ‘they’re showing us so much…that must mean they’re holding back that much more!’
thats the only thing i agree with they showed too much
So apparently, these are all the Sinnoh Pokémon in the Alola Dexes.

I smell a remaaaaaake
😛
Where did you find this?
PokéLoot on Twitter, they show every Pokémon in the Alola Dex by generational order.
Thanks!
it shows 7 hidden mons in gen 7 i wonder what they are
Judging by the order they’re in they’re probably totems: they’re after Gumshoos, Lurantis and Alolan Raticate.
I too am curious! I want to know where the dots are, like which Pokémon they’re next to
Skourpi no 🙁
My boy Drifloon
I hope so, I LOVED gen 4, a lot, like a crazy lot, and getting good remakes would make me super happy.
Not giving Komala and Pyukumuku evolutions is so stupid.
And WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO PIKIPEK.
No new ice or dark types.. Pretty disappointing dex. And no, the alola forms or UBs don’t count. I want actual new Mon.
Litten3 and the Yeti Crab
I forgot about them but, we still don’t have a proper ice and a proper dark evolutionary line.
Am I the only one who likes Litten3? Lol
I actually like it now, thanks to the ingame model. Hated it before
i love it, its slowly becoming my favorite starter
Yes!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e92eb92a859288444d5083ea75cc863d08304b37666140265d65fec2afcdede1.gif
Nope,I’m in the minority too.I like the final evo of Litten
the only issue i have is that alot pokemon are one stage that looks in-complete
Yes.
Komala and Pyukumuku are begging for an evolution
Also a problem Kalos had.
Not really. There were only 5 pokémon with no evolutionary relatives in Gen 6 (not counting legendaries). This gen has a lot more than 5.
I mean maybe there is still a chance these are not all the sprites? I might be wrong but that’s what I think
Does anyone know if the Sun and Moon demo is live for North America? Specifically est time zone? I’m on the Eshop and can’t find it 🙁 or do I need to type in something specific?
13 mins
thank you!
13 mins but alot of people are gonna be jumping on so expect a little traffic
As long as it doesn’t take longer than 30 minutes than I am cool.
Thank you!
I wonder what happened to fossil Pokemon.
Not every new Pokémon was found in the code. Some had black spots by them. There’s still hope.
Thank goodness. That means hope for komala and pyukumuku too I guess.
Honestly I never saw Pyukumuku as getting an evo. It’s definitely in that same “team sadblob” camp as Dunsparce and Stunfisk.
Yes but komala needs one.
Please don’t say that
Stego fossil, c’mon gf!
Wait so it’s without a doubt confirmed that we don’t know everything?!? Is there a link to where the black dots were on the pokedex or which Pokémon they were next to?
Hawaii has an extremely limited fossil record, as well as the fact that it’s not the first gen to leave them out
Even then the Region doesn’t always determine the fossil Pokemon, I mean, T Rex didn’t live in France, we got Tyrantrum.
They could be channeling more inspiration from the locale though.
They could, just mentioning that it’s not always the case
I’ve been trying to tell people that lol!
It looks like Unova and Sinnoh fossils are in the game.
I meant new ones
No, I doubt it. Nothing resembles a fossil pokemon in the leaked dex.
I hope Pop3 is water/fairy with insane spec.attk and speed.
i hope its not
Earthen, you’re with me on them ruining golem, right?
absolutely
Incorrect, golem looks great.
it looks beyond stupid, i’m the leading authoritah on Ground and Rocks types and this is a big mess
Good thing design is subjective and not objective 😛
you’re a fool
Alola forms are probably one of the coolest concepts they’ve introduced, but they’ve been executed so poorly that I hate them.
very poorly
There’s like one I don’t completely hate, and even then it’s not perfect. I thought maybe after Alolan Muk they’d be on the upswing, but no.
some make good sense but it quickly began as more of a re-skin wishlist instead of environmental adaptations
I could maybe get over it if the designs were at least good, but they’re overall not.
Thank you, my worst is the argument that they are new considered ‘new’ pokemon when some are just re-skins.
What’s with those arms, right?
What’s with its everything. Ugh
Haha!
I’ll join you on that.
It was terrible to begin with.
At least it was decent to look at though. I’m not even sure what’s going on with it now. It’s hideous
I really hope it isn’t defensive(which it looks like it is probably going to be) then again, with Litten and rowlet looks like we have 2 phys attackers so…who knows.
It’s almost certainly going to be defensive, based off Popplio’s stats.
It works to its advantage though, it’ll only have three weaknesses and an Immunity.
So, let me get this straight. We have all the Pokemon datamined. But the Stats and Typings were all scrubbed clean by Game Freak. Is that right?
Yes
I don’t see a Snowman or Dolphin in there like the Chinese Leaker said. And I downloaded the mediafire file, some files were blank.
Snowman: Crabrawler evo
Dolphin: purple Tapu
The dolphin looks more like a marlin.
I agree, it’s a huge stretch, but you can’t deny that the leaker was right
Dolphin-Poni Guardian
Snowman-Yeti Crab
Ninja’d
That’s just messed up.
Ehhhhh the Guardian maybe, but the Chinese word for snowman/Yeti are identical (?) and the person who does most of the Chinese translation explicitly said it could be a yeti.
I understand the yeti crab but I’m having a hard time with the guardian.
According to some the snowman is the yeti crab and dolphin is he tapu guardian
Most of the new Pokémon datamined. There are still some left we don’t know about. But not much.
dude that’s everything
EastGovnah said that blank spots appeared on certain files amongst the other sprites. It’s very possible we don’t know of them all.
show me then
There’s a few blank spots after Mimikyu that most likely won’t be totems but beyond that all the blanks are probably totems.
And I’m fairly sure one of them after Mimikyu is just its disguise broken.
So a couple close got spoiled for me because I did it to myself and looked at them. (Mainly pikipeks evo and a quick glimpse at salandit’s) I didn’t look too close but how is the toucan any different from a real toucan design wise? I know some pokemon resemble their real life counterparts quite a bit (Persian and krabby for instance) but I like when pokemon take inspiration (like zebstrika) and spin it on its head.
Also, NO NEW ICE OR DARK TYPES? Are you kidding me? Is this the first gen to actually leave out types in the new dex?
Crabrawler evo will likely be Fighting/Ice, and that weird new spider thing could potentially be part Dark. Maybe Marshadow, too?
I’m pissed too. That weird jellyfish spider walker thing could maybe be dark type though..
I speculated there might be an Ice type, and the typings were not leaked for the Pokémon leaked, so a dark type is rather easy to throw on a Pokémon.
I’m pretty pissed off at data miners since now that we know all the Mon, the hype is dead.
We have news on the 27th (I think) but who Cares, we already know everything
To be fair, you could’ve tried to avoid it
I did.
I wanted to see what people thought of the demo, since NA hasn’t gotten it yet,but all I saw was people talking about the data mining.. Then I just couldn’t resist. :
Not everything. Some Pokémon appeared as black spots in the datamining. Also, there’s still plenty we don’t know of in new attacks, abilities, story, and postgame.
Really? ELABORATE PLEASE
A few spots after Mimikyu were blank.
They are speculating those are for totem Pokémon. It is uncertain and if it is I personally wonder why there are two after Mimikyu and not just one.
Names, typings…potential story hits. THere’s a lot left.
I enjoyed the demo but I liked the format of the ORAS demo better, where you could turn it on (what was it, like 3 times) and do a mission every time? This one felt a little dull in comparison. I did like that they let you wander around looking at the pretty graphics, though 🙂
Npcs talk about things happening in certain amount of days
I assumed that was just to give you a gift on certain days. I could be wrong though, if it’s a new mission that’d be awesome.
When does it come out for East coast states in US?
Should be now.
Mine says nothing about it
This was a bit tricky without the names or types of new pokemon, but all the new pokemon in a list with type speculation

I’m still not sure on UB’s being catchable, though they may have types to make it easier to battle them, 1 has an electricy look, and ub-02 is buggy so.
still says coming soon for me
Same here :
Keep refreshing, It might not happen on the dot. In Europe it went live at 10 minutes past the hour.
Try to turn off the 3ds or the e-shop and try again, worked for me this morning.
I’m still trying and it’s failed 4 times only says coming soon
I’m trying to get on the eshop myself xD
I’ve seen the dexter pokemin, but still can’t find the alola forns…
Who would’ve thought Wimpod turned out to be one of the best lines in the dex?
I’m really happy with that evo. Easily one of my favorite new pokemon and bug types. I really want to use it on my team but I want to use Vikavolt too….and watch that spider walker be dark/bug too..
I have the same thing. Really don’t know if I wanna use Vikavolt or the evo. If its Bug-typing would disappear, I’d use them both
I doubt it will though, it looks pretty isopod-ish haha.
Ehhh, Drapion exists
That’s fair. Although I hope they don’t squander bug/water AGAIN
Not me. .. . I still don’t think it 0=]
I knew it was destined for greatness!
Anything on Kalos?
met locations says Kalos Region but i think thats for ash greninja
Damn.
So wouldn’t the UB’s having shiny forms imply they’re catchable?
No, everything that can be fought needs to have a shiny, otherwise the game would crash.
Hm, that’s weird. I wonder if they’ll be shiny locked then
pokestar studios?
They had shiny versions as well.
no they dont, only mecha tyrantiar because thats part of the story, if u can find the shinies then show me because i cant find them
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Black_2_and_White_2_beta
Some of the enemies that appear twice, like the fighter (recolor of normal fighter), the doors (two colors exist so it’s fine), etc.
oh ok point proven, thanks
