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.









Am I the only one who’s goinh to try out every Pokémon, even the ones they dislike/ hate? I’ve actually made some favourites from Pokémon I used to dislike 😀
I don’t really dislike any Pokemon. I’ve learned to even be indifferent about Drampa. UBs however…
I’m praying they’re not catchable because if they are indeed half-human then pokemon is turning into a mess
Same. They just don’t fit in.
I don’t mind them existing if they’re from another dimension, but battling using half-human beings brings up some moral problems
What if Kiawe becomes a UB? 😉
UB10/10 Sexy
“Island” guys are so hot *cries*
He could still have me anywhere, whenever, and however he wanted
Hehe, Not if I catch him first! <3
Sweet dreams 😉
GURL pls. I’m not gonna fall for your dark void. My love is steadfast. 😉
*dark pulses your ass*
*send out Komala.*
Still gonna beat its ass
I’ll just F.E.A.R. You up first. 😉
I ain’t easily scared
I’ll just have break out some of my infamous charm then. You may not be scared but I’ll make you shudder like no other. 😉
Try me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
eh, too boyish, gimme Chuck or Birch
I’m thinking about the future, give homeboy 5 years + I’m not really into bears
I’d love them if they were only story elements and nothing more. Yeah, battling with half humans doesn’t sit very well with me haha
I’m just saying, its kinda rude to say that you hope they aren’t catchable at all. If you don’t like them or have some huge moral conflict with a video game, just don’t use/catch them? I for one love the ultra beasts and think they are pretty cool additions to the series so long as they tie in with the story and stay exclusive to Sun and Moon.
Why is it rude? lol
Why the hell would we even capture beings from another dimension for? Battle some pikachu? Hopefully gamefreak will make the right decision in sending them back to where they came from in the end of the game
They have shiny formes, they wouldn’t if they were not catchable
Someone mentioned those things in the movie thingy in BW2 having shinies too
they don’t
Maybe the new ones, but I’m not using most of the alolan forms
only if they are competitive viable
I don’t dislike any of them(except bruxish) but i HAVE to use Kommo-O and Wimpod. Like they are instantly in my top 10 pokemon Designs, maybe even top 3
How fucking pathetic. This game is seriously babying us.
Only 72 new Pokemon introduced. JUST LIKE X AND FUCKING Y.
All the ones not revealed from before look like children made them.
Same with the rest of the Alolan Forms and Ultra Beasts. Yuck.
And Game Freak DID NOT LEARN THEIR FUCKING LESSON FROM ORAS!
people complained gen 5 had too much=Fixed, People complained Gen 4 had too many evolutions of old mons= Fixed. so what do u want from gen 8, 72 pikachu costumes?
complaining is the reason why we keep losing stuff we loved lol
Sun and Moon are obviously way better than XY, especially in terms of storytelling and lore. And as for the 72 new Pokemon, read my latest comment below.
How adorable.
case in point
Don’t play it then. Can’t please everyone
Way to treat subjectivity as objectivity brah
GameFreak just can’t win.

All this bitching and they’re still gonna buy the games lol.
now that I saw the leaks, I want the games even more
maybe these are not all the leaks but i agree i want this game even more now
I don’t know if it’s because I have other things to worry about but I am not looking forward to playing S&M that much anymore. I def will though
Im am back from work and have had time to see all the new babies!!! And I can honestly say this gen has some solid pokemon, I never expected Morelulls evo to become my fav but girl it has! The other UB’s look so amazing and while I was not fond of Tapu Koko at first it has grown on me and the other Tapu’s are great too. Im not even mad at the little amount of pokemon. My one complaint is Alolan Persian, its head is too big for me.
That last sentence XD
My oh my. 😉
Marshadow kind of looks like a tiki. Grass/Fire?
pure ghost imo
I could see it being ghost/normal
Thats not an unique typing…
This is why I hate Datamining. I always rush to judgment. Sorry for all my screaming.
I admit that it’ll take time for me to get used to these new Evolutions.
Salandit’s passes.
So does Morelull’s.
And Pikipek’s too. I love that line. Although going from Woodpecker to Toucan is weird. Unless they are somehow related?
The two stage spider looking line is… interesting. I can’t really say more.
Same with Wimpod’s evolution. I don’t particularly hate it, but it’s not my favorite.
Toucans and woodpeckers are both piciformes, they are omnivorous and are cavity nesters. So thats how they are related.
Thanks! The more you know, the better. I can’t wait to use it!
No problem, I knew my knowledge on birds would come in handy some day .
hey! give me you’re top 3 pokemon from the leak! remember, use spoiler tags as to not ruin it for other people!
blah blah blah
remove the spaces in between the <, Spoiler, and /.
salandits evolution, morelull’s evolution, and wimpods evolution are all awesome
Wimpod evo, Kommo-O, and the Sia Dugtrio are tied
Morelull’s Evolution, Squid Queen Tapu, and Lunala Pre-Evo
I thought I was going to be alone on morelull’s evolution glad to see someon else likes it too!
Bonnet head will be my main don’t you worry
i like it too, is just so dorky and it fits its typing very well
It’s like Vileplume and Seedot had an adorkable baby.
the spider, pikipek line, starfish
I’m really curious about the typing of your first choice. cant wait to see what it is!
i know! i can see it not even being bug tbh
electric/poison?
that’s a cool type combo. I’m thinkning water/electric but yours is cooler.
it would certainly be helpful since we don’t really have many of that type this gen
nah, gimme bug/dark
My favorite out of all of them though? literally all of them, this game is freaking amazeballs
yepp, I haven’t found any that I dislike this gen. they mostly have me curious, I cant wait to get a better look at them.
I want to know how the UBs work. I hope they are like capture challenge modes that require you to build special pokeballs. then the games would have like 7-8 “legends”
Popplio3 (duh), baby Lunala and Marshadow
yepp, that’s my starter of choice.
Popplio, Pipipek’s evo, Kommo-o, Mudsdale, Salandit’s evo, and not sure about the 6th team member (Morelull, Fomantis, or Bounsweet’s lines?).
Bewear needs love!
i love its shiny
I do too, but I prefer the original coloration.
So looks like my new team is going to be Goodra, Wimpod Evo, Golurk, Kommo-O, Toxicroak, and Mawile/Alolan Exeggutor/alolan marowak. I love that this game just gave me 2 new favorite pokemon and 2 awesome new forms.
I used Mawile in my first play of Y, lets just say my game play time increased by three hours because I kept running into only male ones or accidentally fainting the females.
You could’ve just had a male one :P. #boyscanweardressestoo
Mila ended up being a boss, she won me the elite four, just like how my Mega lopunny won me the elite four in oras.
in ORAS my Mega Heracross sweeped the e4 by himself. Kenshiro showed them the fist of the north star.
CashmereKiss was my Lopunnies name. Along with BreezeBliss the Altaria. x3
Anyone else sad that we didn’t get Pikacastrophe? :L
my new profile pic is fabulous
So where’s the fossil pokes??
maybe we will get them its not fully leaked yet
But with all of these poke designs what’s left to be made a fossil poke?!
maybe a saber tiger or a dodo
make a Moa and a Haast’s Eagle. Both are extinct, and both are from polynesian countries.
100000 years in the past
either there are none, or they weren’t spoiled.
This time 3D models look so neat!
https://sli.mg/a/4HOcnq
I still hope they go back and fix some older models like Delphox
Fix her?
Delphox’s 3D model looks horrible compared to official art

Ah yes, looks too awkward and wooden, like the dress is completely solid. And the face has none of that elegant, narrow eyed charm. I see it now.
by far my favorite fire starter. so awesome!
My favourite thing from the demo is that, if you catch a pokemon with a full team, you can choose to release it. Now this may be demo only, but I’m hoping it carries to the main game, and you can choose to put it in your team after catching instead of going back to the PC.
Its a shame that were not getting 100 new pokemon this game, but atleast the stuff we are getting is cool. I love the yeti crab, and the anchor. I am sure they have some stuff hidden that hasn’t been data-mined yet. Though I am disappoint that there wasn’t anymore alolan forms than what there is. I was expecting 20 to 30 alolan forms, but I am happy that alolan Golem exist. I am a little salty about no alolan Onix or Alolan machamp. Other than that I think this stuff should be fine. I guess we may have to lower or expectations.
maybe we are getting more the dataminers said there were some sprites missing
Waiting on this 4000 block demo to install >.< So do we know if there are more pokemon than just the ones leaked?
supposedly they are 7 mysterious
I hope there are at least five more. Only because I want to see Jynx fixed aesthetically and I would like at least two more animals based on native species of Hawaii.
THERE ARE NO FERROTHORNS IN THE DEX NEITHER GLISCORS. THE COMPETITVE SCENE IS SHOOK
Until January, that is
i literally going to do as many battles until january
It’ll probably be a different ratings season. 🙂
But still a good idea if you don’t wanna deal with Blaziken.
Can I get a link to the dex?
https://twitter.com/pokeloot
Look at their pictures, they have every pokemon from each gen.
Good
My only problem with the datamined dex is how few Alolan forms there are, i a son hoping we we would get a better amount.
maybe this is not all
My little sister scares me
I gave her my old 3DS and my Alpha Sapphire and she’s got a Level 32 Skitty and a Level 25 Crobat e-e
I really want Alolan Granbull 🙁 Police hat and everything
We also got a female Island Guardian and her hair is so voluminous. I am not good with computers. How do you do the spoiler thingy? Is telling them she uses aussie a spoiler?
So, I heard some old Pokemon weren’t found in the files.
I hope that doesn’t mean Game Freak got rid of them. 🙁
no no no, that just means they aren’t part of the Alola Dex
Can they even do that?
these are the pokemon that are currently OU that wont be available until January: Amoongus, Azelf, Azumarill, Bisharp, Breloom, Charizard, Diance, Excadrill, Ferrothorn, Gliscor, Gardevoir, Hippowdown, Jirachi, Heatran, Keldeo, Kyrurem, Lopunny, Landorus, Manetric, Medicham, Rotom, Mew, Raikou, Serperior, Tangrowth, Venusaur. Thats almost more than half i think
omfg thank you……..minus my Excadrill and my main man Hippowdon
im so happy gliscor is gone. and ferrothorn. Sad that chansey is still going to be there
yeah…….its not a perfect fix
Mega Gardevoir and Lopunny T.T
Also, watch Popplio3 be the new Water/Fairy goddess of OU
She’ll probably be a good Azumarill counter
BTW, Fairy doesn’t resist Fairy.
I can smell an OU Rowlet
Meanwhile Greninja and Kangaskhan will be back in OU…
ughhh. Why is kanga even back bye. Hopefully the nerf makes it less useful but i doubt it
Yep… its main awesomeness is faking out/sucker punching a focus sasher to death. 🙂
attacking at 1.25 power instead of 2.0 is a HUGE deal.
You mean previously 1.5… the second hit used to be only half.
And now it’s half of that/half.
GOOD
So my first trek through Alola will be with:
Litten(Naming him Argyle)
Wimpod(Naming him Wesley)
Rockruff (Midnight/ Naming him London- London after Midnight XD)
Oranguru(Naming him Dr Zaius)
Alola Muk ( Naming it Gayagenda)
Palossand(Naming him Desertman in tribute of MMBN 3)
Excited. Lol
Gonna name my Wimpod Flanders cause he evolves into a muscley monster the same way Flanders is actually really buff
Damn you, Sexy Flanders!
Hidley Ho trainerinos
Wimpods Evo: Gosh Diddly darn, I accididdlydently critted it
Do we have screenshots of the demo? I need a pic of kukui with a surprised face
Should we be worried about this… “Need”?
Hehe. 😉
Haha, wasn’t gonna do anything dirty with it, but was def going to use it in a dirty joke
Hah, Fair enough. 😛
