In what will be the last trailers for Pokémon Sun & Moon before they’re released, new Z-moves and other gameplay elements have been shown.
- Decidueye’s signature Z-Move is called Sinister Arrow Raid
- Inceneroar’s signature Z-Move is called Malicious Moonsault
- Primarina’s signature Z-Move is called Oceanic Operetta
- UB-03 Lighting officially revealed, no other details released
- UB-05 Gluttony revealed, no other details released
- Alolan Diglett is officially revealed, and Alolan Dugtrio is seen for the first time outside the special demo – both are Ground/Steel-type
- Alolan Diglett and Dugtrio’s new ability is Tangled Hair, which lowers the opponents speed if they make contact with the Pokémon
- The trailer asks US trainers to come back to the official site for where and when you can get Magearna’s QR code – however it’s been confirmed that in Europe it will be distributed via the Pokémon TV app from December 6th, 2016 onward
- Outside the trailer Necrozma was official revealed stateside as well
If Lycanroc is available in both forms in both games in the Wild, then what’s the point in Limiting Rockruff to 1 form to evolve into in each game?
Why not just make it night and day?
Maybe it was a bug they couldn’t fix and was like “lets just roll with this”? xD
Like Nidoqueen not being able to breed
that still makes no sense…probably she lost her womb after evolving?
Maybe, wha talso makes no sense is her shiny.
Nidoking has Nidoqueens normal colour, and both nidorans switch, as do nidorina and nidorino, so why the hell doesn’t Nidoqueen have Nidokings?
Because you don’t find world Lycanroc until you nearly finish the game
So?
Rockruff is a Melemele Pokémon
There’s still a point to having it being exclusive for over half the game as most people would have had it by that point.
And its most likely to familiarise people with version exclusive Evolutions without completely penalising them, as there’s a strong possibility it could be a new norm for some Pokémon.
Ergo, Rockruff could be testing version exclusive Evolutions and reception will determine if the feature is expanded
So… that means Sun version gets a Midday Form earlier but Midnight Form later while the Moon version has it in the opposite order.
For those who like knowing the Japanese names like I do: (EN) • (JP)
Decidueye – Sinister Arrow Raid • Shadow Arrows Strike
Incineroar – Malicious Moonsault • Hyper Dark Crusher
Primarina – Oceanic Operetta • Wadatsumi no Sinfonia*
*Wadatsumi (also pronounced as watatsumi) is a legendary kami (神, god; deity; spirit), Japanese dragon and tutelary water deity in Japanese mythology. Ōwatatsumi no kami (大綿津見神, “great deity of the sea”) is believed to be another name for the sea deity Ryūjin (龍神, Dragon God), and also for the Watatsumi Sanjin (綿津見三神, “Three Watatsumi gods”), which rule the upper, middle, and lower seas respectively and were created when Izanagi was washing himself after returning from Yomi, “the underworld”. Sinfonia is Italian for symphony.
So Primarinas Japanese Z move literally translates to Symphony of the Ocean Gods?
Hmm. Preeeetty much, yeah.
Cool.
Kyogre is proud of her ;-;

OMG LUNAALA
Please tell me Lunala can breed with Cresselia or Lunatone….I think it should happen and a brand-new exclusive breed-only Pokemon should come, being a baby moon.
they look like glorious fanart
OMFG PRIMARINA Z-MOVE GENKI DAMA IS EPIC
I fucking hate Ultra Beast -__- how will the writers explain these things as Pokemon.
Spoilers
Actually, their wording implies that they don’t know whether they’re Pokémon or not, at least to a casual observer
If anything you saying that’s spoilers makes it spoilers
I’d say Story Spoilers, they’re showing them off as something new, when really they’re Pokemon, I haven’t looked at the story leaks, but it makes sense that it would be a twist, stop being a party pooper
You literally just spoiled it in your response
And I don’t see how pointing out flaws is being a party pooper, it’s a Pokémon website m8 and everyone makes mistakes
It’s not spoiling if the guy already knows they’re Pokemon.
And the Spoilers thing was more of a reference.
Yeah but the guy who responded isn’t the only one who sees your comment, literally anyone can scroll down and get spoiled even worse by your comment.
Chill
Mature
It’s pretty simple
They literally are just Pokémon from other dimensions, like Giratina, Palkia and Dialga)
Find out this Friday on Pokémon Z!
Oh, wait, no… Sun & Moon.
They’re from Ultra Space.
They aren’t Pokémon that’s how
#Notmypokemon
They’ll probably give it its own arc, just like Pocket Monsters Best Wishes! Season 2: Episode N (wow, that was a mouthful… http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Best_Wishes_series#Pocket_Monsters_Best_Wishes.21_Season_2:_Episode_N_.28BW109-BW122.29)
For some reason, because of it’s release only last Month, Volcanion feels more like an early Gen 7 Pokemon than a Late Gen 6 one to me.
Out if curiousity, who else is going to make a story out of their SuMo run? I know Kurusu is, and I think I saw Earthen say he is but can’t confirm that
Hey you! How’s the writing going? I was on vacation and I was avoiding spoilers, so I didn’t get to see it 🙁
It’s been on a stand still, I’ve been bouncing between homework and cleaning out my room because I’m planning on kinda generally improving my life (more exercise, cleaner space, more effort into school)
It’s definitely getting completed at some point though, it’s a good venting tool because I genuinely enjoy writing battles
I might pretend I’m playing as a hex maniac and write something about that.
Why does a foto of necrozoma now just stand with no reason on the pokemon website?
the japanese one?
No also the english
Right I’ll check it out
Could you point me to it’s exact location?
Under the alola region
its there because the text box says “Even more mystery awaits in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon!” saying that this mon is a mystery rn
But I don’t understand why they put it on the website and don’t put it with the ubs or pokemon
because its suppose to be like a hint to whats to come in the games, its on the page because it represents the mystery aspect rn
Oh ok, even the corocoro gave more info about it then this page XD
It’s pretty neat artwork, but it is odd it’s there without them actually revealing it outside of Coro Coro https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ffb495065d4200c18649dd21f2bab6c26844032c6d7ac075e6a4e70c7fc42ad5.png
i cant find it

you should answer that person or group 😉
Just did XD
ok good. im proud of you
Thank you Papa
you’re very welcome.
It just wants to be noticed
Just a theory the ub are real live things when ub 01 = jellyfish ub 02 = cockroach ub 03 = christmas lights and also one who looks like origami I don’t know the rest but just something I thought of
Living things
Christmas lights
Not sure about that lol
I remember the day I was attacked by Christmas Lights, nasty creatures
You can’t say that ub 03 “lighting” doesn’t look like some christmas lights even it’s name is lighting
Well you never know! There have been… Stranger Things
Pls go home
I would love to but I’m at school
pls go learn
I lern lots
They’re based off of environmental / ecosystem hazards
When you’re so beautiful you’re a hazard
Best comment I’ve seen
when Primarina does the spirit bomb…. more sold then ever before
Official site updated with version exclusives
Confused as to why Vulpix and Sandshrew weren’t confirmed to be exclusive right away seeing as they were revealed at the same time but okay
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a73549531e12ceb824936f24dfe92d034b8948e9883101bf8cf8395bb209b824.png

What’s up with rockruff? He was always different.
so its a exclusive to evolve, but you can a find midnight form in sun at night ( dont worry no spongebob reference)
Gud
But yeah, it’s findable in both versions wild, for people who don’t mind waiting until near the end of the game
thats good to know actually
is also being jackass exclusive to sun because then i gotta switch versions
Only if you choose decidueye
lucky im not
You’re save…. for now
Jackass-Decidueye is a Battle Bond Decidueye only available in Sun
Where did you find this? I can’t seem to find it… And, why does it look like Lycanroc (Midnight) is on the “Sun” side and Lycanron (Midday) is on the “Moon” side?
Its on the official site
I can’t find it.
http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/version-exclusives/
Nooooooo,I wanted Alolan Vulpix on my Moon team….now I gotta find a better pokemon or ask my friend to trade me one
People have played sun and moon but I didn’t hear anyone about ash pikachu were is it in the game?
totally next years events lol, since its the animes 20th anniversary 😛
every year a new ash pikachu
it might be similar to the legend events we had this year
Spoilers about a trainer in the Battle Tree:
I just saw Grimsley’s model, holy crap that’s my favorite re-designed character. I love the black and white color scheme, and he looks so old damn xD But by far my favorite detail is that he is holding a coin. “There are bad ways to win– and good ways to lose. What’s interesting and troubling is that it’s not always clear which is which. A flipped coin doesn’t always land heads or tails. Sometimes it may never land at all…” – Grimsley
It will land it’s called gravity
Unless it’s interfered with.
Touché
Any pics?? Would like to see colress too
I saw them in YouTube videos listening to music.
Grimsley: https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=wppIsDYC18c
Colress: https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=NvQBpb6eqp8
Just remove the space between . and com
I just updated this post with a spoiler tag, fml I forgot when I initially posted.
Wow they both look cool thnx!!
I wonder if it’s possible for them to do wifi event trainers for the Battle tree? They did that for the PWT…I think it’s possible.
I can’t wait to use my team in sun and moon!!!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/464cb89b0ffa5ce83295943eb785856affbd0d76a8087c69d672f12c0d170447.png
Thoughts?
Ub-01 is bubble buddy more
But it looks like a squid and I think Squidward should become happy.
I compared it to bubble buddy and people stole it
I didn’t steal it or at least mean to, it’s just they reminded me of Spongebob, and the 7 sins reminded me of the Spongebob 7 sins theory. Therefore i MADE IT with connections!
no no not you. im talking in general
Oh ok.
i like ur theory
So apparently the correct term to refer to things from Sinnoh is ‘Sinnohan’
Eww
Sinnonian sounds so much better .-.
Kantoan, Johtoan, Hoennian, Sinnohan/Sinnohian, Unovan, Kalosian, Alolan
Alolan is the only one that sounds right
Imo Kalosian makes sense and rolls off the tongue, especially as in at least English ‘Parisian’ is the term for someone form Paris (and you can’t really get anything resembling ‘French’ from ‘Kalos’)
I actually like that a lot.
Well, no thank you inventor of that term whomever it may have been. I’ll just go with Sinnoh Native. -_-
Sounds fine. Unless you’re attempting to pronounce the “h” which I would presume you shouldn’t.
Like how the Alolan Starters have Z Moves, the Kalos Starters should have had Mega Evolutions
Agreed. I thought Battle Bond was gonna be that but it’s exclusive to Greninja for now which is a really big let down :/
I want a battle bond delphox so bad to fix its design up a bit
Same :/ I don’t like the big ear fluffs. Probably give it a wizard/witch hat or something.
I’d be happy with something like this. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6331d468a6addc96fbcaa93166c6d35197aeb7f9cdb4f092abc996f61416d29c.png Also, gen 2 and 5 continues to get no love :/
A mega for Delphox could do wonders for it.
You can find the johto starters via the qr code feature, and a few people from Unova appear in the game. So technically this isn’t true.
i see its body staying relatively the same shape
it gains dark violet streaks from its chest that run along its shoulders
it gains longer ear fur and head hair that spirals like a cone spring
also some neat idea its eyelashes are on fire “blink” embers
wait what?
What what?
Others have Battle Bond?
No…hence why I said “exclusive to Greninja for now”
oooooooooooh
A Battle Bond Chesnaught would be cool
I like Incineroar slightly more than I did. However, I still think the design is disappointing and also Torracat is cuter than it. Also Decidueye is superior.
Same here. I find it tolerable enough to consider using it as a fire-type on one of my in-game teams due to the low number of new Fire-types this gen.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-288550118
Felt so good
TBF you eliminated two Pokémon via flinch chance
Them staying in on Excadrill is stupid tho, or at the very least they have a weird stat spread for it
it literally was one turn it stayed in
there was no way they could’ve avoid severe damage because iron head from my Excadrill is death for those frilly bastards
Cefable dies in one shot
Sylveon even faster and
Azumarill was less then half health
That comment section was savage.
THOSE COMMENTS THO
only because we fought before and won via flinching
And believe me if you thought i had enemies i got scores of them on Showdown
Oh my god UB-03 is the new porygon-Z with those animations
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-475883429
It was going so well until I saw Final Gambit Victini :X
this team disgusts me to no end
you should be losing at every step but always stalling and doing virtually nothing and succeeding
Stalling takes skill tho
You have to handle all these Pokémon, remember who does what, make the right decision to stays alive, predict. Correctly and if something actually manages to set up you get steam rolled
Also I only post interesting battles and all my loses have just been regular losses because I got outplayed
nnrrrrrrr win by Stalling pisses me off to no end
It’s easy to counter though, and even pure offense teams can pressure stall
For example this one guy bet me because his only defense Pokémon was Gliscor but he knocked off my Toxic Orb and I had been forced to use Heal Bell afterwards
by easy you mean unless a team has the exact counter for everything
Lolno
None of his team was conventional counters
That team irks me. And your opponents irk me more.
Okay
“Rockruff is a special Pokémon that can evolve into different forms depending on which game you’re playing. However, you may be able to find both of its evolved forms in the wild. Search for them—both day and night!”
Grrrrrrrrrr so many buttholes are posting Spoiler battles
4 more days…..just for more days
YOU POSTED ONE TOO
only to show how awful the animation for Earthquake is
how far before the elite four are the mascot legendaries usable? Like is it around the equivalent of before the last gym like they often are? I like to use them on the 8th gym and elite four for my firsts of many playthroughs
I’m the opposite, I vastly prefer to use my regular team that I’ve travelled so far with for all gym and elite 4 battles. Of course we don’t have gyms this time but the same principle applies.
They should buff the other fangs power to Psychic Fangs level.
Eh, I’d say let the Psychic types have this one. It compensates for the lack of physical Psychic type moves.
It’s kinda hard to have psychic physical moves that isn’t a glorified “hit them with solidified psychic energy”
Same with giving Fighting Special attacks
Imo the effect does that.
