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.
One of the worst ideas of GameFreak in the past 20 years:
Ultra Beasts
You haven’t even played the game yet
Maybe complain after you actually know the backstory and purpose
I can complain
whenever I want
That’s nice
you’re making yourself look silly though
And that’s something I
really don’t care about
Good for you
bye
Why the
attitude
I’m not trying to have an attitude
I think it’s mostly the bold text
The UBs looks better than most of the new pokémon. But if he doesn’t like them, he can complain as much as he want, you have nothing to do with that.
Idk, I think the concept is interesting. Alolan forms have been bad though.
I’m not a huge fan at the moment but I’m going to wait until they game is released until I pass my judgement.
I’m waiting until I see how they are used in story before I decide
So the leaked starter evos are real….Rowlet.
It’s 7 minutes past 7 and It still says coming soon. Getting impatient here
Wimpod and Sandile’s evolutions look horrible, in my opinion.
Wimpod’s evolution looks like some kind of deformed isopod and it looks like they added the bipedal body as a last minute after thought.
And Sandile’s evolution looks like a seductive hooker lizard.
And no real Snowman Pokemon or Dolphin Pokemon. Just a Tapu Guardian and and a Yeti.
How fucking dissapointing!
wrong.
Leave Krokorok alone.
I personally like both evolutions.
Dude…don’t hate on Krookodile 😛
Where’s this yeti pokemon?
Crawbrawlers evo is a yeti crab
Oh…is it ice/fighting maybe?
Hopefully, it’ll give us a new ice type..
I at least think the design is decent.
it had better freaking be or we wont have any new ice types this gen.
The words for yeti and snowman are identical in Chinese iirc, so that one isn’t on the leaker, it’s on the fans for hyping themselves over an uncertainty.
sandile’s evolution is krookodile who is awesome.
Now I’m just imagening Krookodile as a hooker
Dont know wether to laugh or get eye bleach
What’s your opinion on Salandit’s evo? 🙂
awesome, especially the shiny, its one of the best shinies in the game.
Certainly fits my theme for sure, so I’m relieved.
Could of it been better? Yes. Do I like it? Yeah. Am I gonna use it!? HECK YES FAIRY NEED DAT HOOKER LIZARD RIGHT NOW
Lol! Delightful. I may use the hooker lizard on my femme fatale group.
Is hookerlizard going to become a thing?
I really want it to become a thing e-e
Let’s trend it!
Hey you take that back, Krookodile is awesome!
Krookodile is awesome. Salandits evo is also pretty cool, better than the shit I saw floating around for it
“Seductive hooker lizard”. Looooooooooooool ?? but yeah I don’t like it either what a let down man.
Is it up yet?
No
Oh its up… But its not Available for me…
Says coming soon
Yeah. its up but not available. Being up means its on there. At least thats my interpretation of being up.
It Says “Hurry the Hell up”
That’s what she said
Lol
The demo is a lie ? Nintendo is bad at cake making.
hey whats up with this demo? it was supposed to be available 3 hours ago!
Actually, 12 minutes ago. 7am PST. 9am CST.
It was supposed to be available 12 minutes ago. The time was 7 PDT. i live in the Pacific Timezone.
oh I mist be eastern. well I woke up early for nothing lol
I’m getting this https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/27e70f2a2b0d7b1231b0bf7f278808405fe36730b3d21bb94342ca1f65cfd2da.jpg
So glad I have to wait another 2 hours for demo, maybe it’ll be out by time I get to work 😉
I like how my access point/Internet stops working before the demo >.< Like seriously, my personal hotspot from my phone usually works, what is happening??
You’re not missing much…
I know it’s not up yet, but I still wanna play it D:
I mean its TECHNICALLY up… just not available… but yeah i know what you mean…
Demo not live yet still despite being announced at the scheduled time.
I mean, it might take it bit for it to be live, due to various reasons.
My issue isn’t the demo not being up, it’s my Internet not working 🙁
Screw all the Litten haters. #TeamLitten. It’s a well thought out pokemon and people don’t can’t see that because of their own set standards.
I have to say the evolution has definitely grown on me. Especially if it ends up being Fire/Dark.
It’s shiny is great too, Something I wanted since the start , I even mocked this up in July, I only got the eyes wrong

I’m gonna try and get the shiny so I can name it after my Dead cat, who was white
? n
FLOPpilo fans should be the last ones to through shade when their fav is the Pokemon version of rupaul. They better hope that thing doesn’t have the typical 87.5 male ratio nn
I honestly never cared about the gender issue. We’ve had feminine pokemon that could be male too, and vice versa in the past. If I didn’t care then, why should I care now. Plus I like Popplio’s evo.
Gurl don’t come for popplio3. Bitch will skin the haters alive with her flawlessness
Its fab, it can do the dab, and it thinks your mentality is just drab
Salandit evo looks like a Vespiquen-case, which is a bummer. They could’ve done so much more with the first Poison/Fire-type.
After seeing what is likely every single new Pokémon, I still gotta say that Minior is my favorite 🙂 Can’t wait to catch a WonderBall of my own. Hope it can be competitively viable.
So, how many new Pokemon do we have in total? I hope it is at least 800.
802
794 if u dont include ubs
Is it an unpopular opinion when I say that I’m a bit disappointed with the dex? The only last stages I really like are Silvally, Vikavolt and Wimpod-evo.
No it’s not unpopular. A lot of people are dissapointed. Especially the fact that we saw like 80% it throughout these months of news
No, I’m disappointed with the overall number and the amount of single stage’s.
I lost my hype for this fucking gen. You’re not the only one I’m still pissed and angry. At least with kalos even if they gave us few Mons we still had good ones like talonflame
Don’t buy the game then if you hate it.
I didn’t say I hated it. I’m just disappointed. girl why are you all up in my koolaid, you do not need to know it’s flavor
I feel like this reaction might be a bit over board? I mean yeah there aren’t a lot of Pokémon but that’s only part of the game… literally everything they’ve shown has been such an update and upgrade to the series idk how you can honestly feel this way?
Chile I don’t know if you’ve seen my comments BUT I’m not here for this digimon mess that is ultrabeast and z moves. IDC about these new mini games or side quest either. IMO. When I think of a new generation of Pokemon I think of exploring a new region with new awesome Pokemon. Not whatever the fuck this mess is.
You just invalidated your own point tho. A big part of exploration is discovering something NEW different and unexpected. Clearly if you get exactly what you’re expecting it’s not really “exploring”. Besides the series has to push its boundaries and get outside its box to grow. But to each their own lol. I can respect your opinion I just think the opposite.
Guys the demo is live!
D: If only my Internet worked for me to get it D: D:
That’s unfortunate 🙁
Yeah. considering it worked before I went to bed.
Now, it’s saying I connect to the access point, but it won’t connect to the Internet
19 minutes late tsk tsk
Fashionably late.
Demo up!!
marshadow is actually cute but i think that popplio’s final evolution looks beautiful
I love Sirenade!
Bless your heart you call it that too.
right when the demo drops, i gotta go to update a application
Okay so I looked at the Alolan forms because I don’t care about them. And for good reason… Alolan Persian looks terrible and I need to know the inspiration for the geodude line. Is there gonna be electricity running through golems yellow rocks?
Rock/Electric was the popular guessed type for Golem, yeah.
Oh I can see what they’re saying.
“The demo will be on the eshop by 7am PDT.” And it is up there.
Except they didn’t say we can DOWNLOAD it right away…
What trolls… :p
It’s up!
I know, but there was a 10+ minute delay.
I’m finally able to download, 30 mins after it was supposed to be available and like… 23 mins after it appeared on the eShop.
Is there a chance that there are still some new Pokemon that weren’t able to be data mined?
I think I read on Twitter at one point that there are still some empty spaces not able to be seen, but I’m not 100% sure on that!
Okay good there is hope.
downloading demo now! yay! I only got 4 hours of sleep for this!
Not going to get into the leaks, I haven’t read them nor will I. But I just got the demo and already in love with Team Skull <3
Team Skull is AMAZING!!!
Right it’s meme time lads and ladettes
Gonna try to guess the UB’s types if they aren’t uniquely programmed to have every aim weaknesses and resistances.
UB-01:???
Water/Psychic
UB-02: Beauty
Bug/Fairy
UB-02: Absorption
Bug/Fighting
White Haired UB
Electric/Steel
Separated UB
Rock/Psychic
Papery UB
Normal/Grass
Phat UB
Dark/Poison
Edgy UB
Dark/Ghost
Hey, I know I’m kind of being annoying about my Internet issue, but could someone help me at all? Normally using the hotspot from my phone works fine, but now it only connects to the access point, but not the Internet itself. I don’t know what happened between the few hours I used it and now.
Try going to a free wifi spot like Starbucks if at all possible
I’ll try to see if my on-campus Starbucks has one, but I’m not sure. There’s one off-campus, but I wouldn’t be able to go until night.
Restart the hotspot and cellular data?
Sometimes I randomly lose signal and my cellphone “downgrades” to 2G/3G…
I dunno how to restart that, but I’m restarting my phone at this point
YES IT’S WORKING 😀 Thanks guys for th input, I just needed to restart my phone xD welp sorry
