RUMOR: Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Details

OBLIGATORY WARNING: Why do we post rumors? Because Pokémon fans love to talk about the latest gossip and they often give us new ideas about what we’d like to see in a future game or, perhaps, what we wouldn’t want to see. This information is always explicitly marked as a rumor in the post title and should never, never, never be shared as fact. Treat it as false until proven otherwise.


Our good friend JynxClub and Pokesan (of BMGf) have alerted English fans about new information that was posted before the Nintendo Direct that announced Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon aired on a Chinese fan forum. Remember that if you care about spoilers you may not want to read these rumors!

Without further ado, here is a translation of the post:

  • Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon take place in an “alternate universe” than the one we explored in the original Sun & Moon. Chronologically, the new games take place a year after the first two.
  • Alola has finally built its own Pokémon League, but the Champion is shrouded in mystery…
  • There is a new organization, Rainbow, with some familiar faces in it.
  • Lillie has a lot of surprises in store for us

Not too much to go on, but my curiousity has really been piqued by this alternate-universe-Alola we might get to explore!

    • Electric/Dark Luxray (could be a mega though. Electric/dark is a bit predictable, I know, EARTHEN, but I thought it could work if you build upon its x-ray vision. Maybe a mega or regional could upgrade/evolve its eyesight into infrared as well)

      New move: Blackout
      -Darkness suddenly surrounds the arena for 5 turns. Using its X-ray vision, It can perfectly navigate the field to get a jumpstart on its prey. Luxray’s speed and attack are boosted by 50% while this is in effect.

  4. Yo, I wonder if in this alternate universe, Team Skull will actually be menacing while the Aether foundation like, forgets to put handrails on things and keeps falling into the ocean.

  5. You know the rumors are fake when
    1) They’re vague as fuck
    2) You’ve already seen speculation on what they’re suggesting
    3) Anything about a rainbow
