During the Nintendo Direct earlier today exciting news was revealed about the upcoming titles Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. The games add two new Ultra Beasts: UB Assembly (Ultra Moon) and UB Burst (Ultra Sun)! The first looks like a giant tower of bricks while the latter has a unique clown-like appearance. You can see them below in the trailer.
In addition, the details we saw earlier from CoroCoro leaks have also been confirmed. After Necrozma captures either Solgaleo or Lunala it will become Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma, respectively. It also gains access to their signature moves as well! The Japanese trailer has a bit better view of the cutscene.
In addition, Lycanroc will be able to use a new Z-Move called Splintered Stormshards when it uses the Z-Crystal Lycanium Z. Players who buy Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon upon release will get a special Rockruff which knows Fire Fang (Ultra Sun) or Thunder Fang (Ultra Moon) as well as Happy Hour. It will be distributed holding a Focus Band.
What do you think about the new Ultra Beasts and other info?!












Oh my god a Metroid game is coming out tomorrow..
So…generation 7 is the first not to include the full pokedex in its initial games? We’ve gotten new forms with the third/fourth game before, but we’ve never been introduced to something completely new before like the two new UBs
Yo star, Samoa returns got really good reviews :3
*samus ignore my phone being an idiot
That makes me so happy. Seriously. I hope to god Samus Returns sells well because it’s such a fantastic series
Yay!!!
Of course, it’s Metroid after all ;3
My brain can’t stop pre planning for my Silver run
I need to catch Heracross ASAP and I need to raise a Zubat (which I now know it can be taught Swift in the water cave place) but my bigger concerns are Donphan, Ursaring, and Tyranitar
All these Pokemon are rare late game captures that won’t level up fast enough and I need to at least trade from gold to get Teddiursa. And I don’t have to remind everyone that leveling in GSC is tedious
I seem to be getting contradictory info from Serebii.net on Heracross, the earliest it is said to appear is Route 29 and there is a 30% chance of it appearing by Headbutt. However, when I look at Pokearth I don’t see it on any of the routes’ Headbutt Pokémon. If you can help clear this confusion for me I would be quite grateful.
Well seeing how you dont get headbutt until the forest. I would go with route 33. and I thought heracross was only found in the mornings. Thats probably wrong, but It its is found in route 33 with headbutt
You’re correct and there’s only two trees so it has to be in one of them
There is a sure fire way I did it
You have to beat the Azelea Gym (Make sure to save Fury Cutter) and get cut, find the headbutt guy and give it to your starter
Then backtrack to route 33 there’s only two trees and Heracross is listed there so unless the system is just randomly plomping them wherever one of them has to have it
So just smash your skull into them until one pops out, you might need to put it to sleep or confuse it so it doesn’t flee
But let me reassure you it can do decent damage via Horn attack and save Fury Cutter so it has a Stab Bug move and also give it Rock Smash after Goldenrod
Thanks!
I really hate to be that person….but I have never liked the Ultra Beasts….their designs have always been extremely strange and offputting to me, and I see them more as aliens than Pokémon. =(
On a different note, I am optimistic that with the introduction of new UBs, this may mean that other new Pokémon may be introduced, not just new forms/Alolan Forms!!!
I personally would LOVE new Alolan Forms for Johto Pokémon (Can you say a snowy owl Ice/Flying HootHoot and Noctowl?!)
But if they surprised even further….with actual new Pokémon (not counting UBs and forms)??? GOOD. LORD. YES.
I am also hoping for an Ice/Flying Noctowl. However, we have already gotten three evolutionary lines of Pokémon that have Ice typing-which is a good number for a generation-so I wouldn’t put your expectations too high.
I agree. I’m not really a fan of any of the UBs myself.
I like the concept of them I just fucking hate Celesteela because it is a ginormous whore
And putting it out there I also hate Heatran and Volcanion since they have been ruining my OU team
The more alien than pokemon thing is pretty much the point of UBs
Isn’t that the point of the UBs? That they’re more like aliens than Pokemon?
They r from another dimension and maybe anther universe it’s pretty normal to not look similar to the pkmn live on earth.
Do you want some mayo?

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
But do you want your Waifu bacK?
… yes…
… I didn’t need to sleep anyways
I have to say. I dont really like Ultra Beasts either they look crazy. and yes yes I know that is their exact purpose, but it really turns me off. Guzzlord is the only UB I really like. Lets just get some more Alola forms.
ALSOOOO Mr. Earthen said new pokemon would never appear in 3rd versions. You arent very good at this predicting game.
I do wonder where they’ll be in the pokedex
I was extremely surprised by this, I even scream THEFAUK when they appeared
Also can you blame me for following their formula?

I just want some info on these guys
Cellblox must arrange itself for a reason

I wonder if its supposed to Look like Xuritree mixed with a Clown and a gumball machine.
I demand some Xurkitree and Burst art
Also it could be a firework. And it could be a dandelion.
And the cliche ghost holding its head.
I prefer Assembly design-wise, but It’s amazing how mysterious and creative Burst is
Fakemon I drew today ( the last one with two forms is the 3rd legendary (like Rayquaza), I’ll post more about it later ) (the first one’s name is Breakality) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/38cbb049bd9f422e5e3da166147b1c7ec9ae518a28c186afeaa4621a7fcb4229.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b612c3a71cd3eee6847b4d49bb76433198dba2d56db447dec5e2857e1413f113.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b48d4a61b37364d64cf4e064bb0b5d54e54a058c180d121ec31ad5fe612e2f46.jpg
Ewww
All of them?
The first one is not bad, the others are also not bad but too human-alike in my opinion
Ok so playing Y. Awesome game. I’m just about to enter Sycamores lab, what starter do you guys think I’ll choose??
Bulbasaur.

*joygasm noise*
MY BABY
That’s an interesting take on Lopunny, making it look more like a stuffed toy. I actually went to find some art of it, and I found this:

My boy as a crystal thing… interesting.
Burst seems to be based off aspergillus, a species of mold. It can cluster into balls like the head of this UB. GF added the clown motif to make it look less weird.
Fairy/Poison would be a great typing https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/acbb831c32874de7626017a66d204acd9b0fbe046ba468d30312d2c161962983.jpg
That’s reaching so far that I’m surprised we haven’t even reached the end of the solar system yet.
Its not reaching lol its literally based off this. Simple biology 101
There are 10000 similar things, it’s just a stick with some balls on it, it could even be based on meatball spaghetti for that matter.

Too bad that they changed its appearance with a clown motif, I prefer the original aspergillus…
When you realize that Dusk-Lycanroc is not a rock/fire type
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6cf025f20fd81ef825c53559dd19f080559455d481d98a9e7e511ea1f2989a34.jpg
I don’t really like the Tynamo line for some reason. The first stage is too diffrent from the third stage and the second stage is too simmilar too the third (Like, I thought they were one pokemon for some time). And also secondary Water type could help it.
Secondary water typing would at least explain why it has Levitate, since eels dont touch the ground.
*heavy breathing*
YOU JERKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk
For those who watched the first Brock and Misty episode this week of the anime, how was it? I thumbed through the pictures on Serebii and that made me excited, but it doesn’t tell you everything. Was it as good as I hoped it would be so far? hahaha
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PicwdOikaOw
Yeah, I know I posted this before, but it’s still a good song
I’m torn between squirtle and charmander, which do I choose..hmmmm :S
Bulbasaur.
We all know Bulbasaur is literally the only good choice
Squirtle
Banned
What’s the worst evolutionary family in terms of their names? For me it’s Klink Klang Klinklang.
Nah you hit the nail on its head they really didn’t try for that one
Even though I really like Klinklang
I love how Bulbapedia describes Klinklang as “Klinklang is based on interlocking gears, more specifically a combination of sun and planet gears, a bevel gear and an external gear.”, while it’s neither of those things. This really grinds my gear as an engineer.
Litten Torracat Incineroar
Never forget Nyaheat
Ok they aren’t that bad!!
Nyaheat is worse than those names tho…
Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam
I bet it took them 5 seconds to come up with those names
Ok I’ve picked my starter.
Hint: I’m playing Y
You chose
Poorly
I was this close . to picking Squirtle ?
Imagine if Gamefreak remastered HGSS to 3ds/switch graphics like how Bethesda remastered Skyrim as a quick release between generations.
That would ve really fricking cool.
I for one would love to see Johto in 3D!
3DS graphics? Uhhh, no thanks. Give me those Octopath Traveler graphics please.
The skyrim rerelease is an easy upgrade though compared to the work it would take to update hgss.
I wouldn’t mind but it’ll never happen so eh.
Seeing Doom, Mario and a rockstar game all coming out around the same time for the same system still shocks me
https://twitter.com/NinSwitchNews/status/908336625616281600
Is not that weird really, Doom (1993) was available for the SNES and we had GTA for Gameboy, Gameboy Advance an Nintendo DS consoles
Well true, but see how long ago that was? and Rockstar supporting Nintendo again in some way
I kinda shows how strong Nintendo is coming back after the huge success of the Wii U
Oh the Wii u sold billions
Most successful console after the Ouya
Quite a diversive lineup.
But i still think switch needs to get the big multiplat games like the new cod and dbfz
L.A NOIRE
Nintendo is still doomed though.
Sega does what Nintendont
Bethesda does*

(Yes, the blue brick screwed up, but it’s actually 3d
Yooooo
With the games being released in about a week I thought that it is a good time to show what my planned team is for the VC. Is anyone else planning on getting the game?Feel free to share any thoughts or comments. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d6ab37848745b1b966b02b90e0e126dcc62dbc5507e6f5b7c493e4301e3f82e3.jpg
Nice!!! I’ve used 5 of those in past playthroughs of Johto. I’ve enjoyed them quite a bit
Which one haven’t you used? Also I am worried about how difficult it will be to get Bellossom, the Sun Stone is only for those who place 1st in the Bug Catching Contest.
Haven’t used Jynx. There’s a trick to win the contest for the stone. You could technically win with a Weedle lol. Don’t injure the Pokemon at all. Go for a high level too. Of course if you find a rare bug that’s great, but again you could win with a stage 1 mon. At least that’s how it works in HGSS. In GS I’m not sure.
Thanks for the tip. Yea I am using Jynx in this team. I am likely never to use Jynx in any future games unless it gets something like a Mega or a regional form. Considering the initial controversy with that Pokémon and how it was not given an evolution in Generation 4, I don’t think they are going to do either.
Tis a shame tho. I really could have seen a hula dancer Jynx with a fairy typing. Oh well
Sentiments shared.
Almost my team I’ve used 4 of those.

Thoughts?
The inclusion of Lick makes me think Bearry is a Bear Pokémon that likes to lick Honey from Honeycombs. (I don’t know that is the first thing that came to mind). So it being a Grass type is a little concerning since the Bees would be Bug types and would harm the bear according to type effectiveness. However, that is not how it is in real life, this is contrary to the typing relationship of Durant and Heatmor. I would make it Grass/Steel. You would just need to give it one Steel type move-Gyro ball for example- kind of like the case with Minior.
Dude I gave it lick because it eats a lot and plenty of pokes learn lick
It’s just a tiny plant bear that grows its own berries because of its fruit heavy diet
