Nintendo Gives Slim Hope of More New Ultra Beasts [UPD]

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon have become the first follow-up titles in the Pokémon series to introduce entirely new creatures mid-generation with the reveal of two Ultra Beasts during the recent Nintendo Direct. The official Nintendo coverage of the event hints that those might not be the only new Pokémon we’ll be getting though.

今後も新たなウルトラビーストの続報をお楽しみに!

The above translates to “Look forward to hearing about new Ultra Beasts soon!” and could mean that we’ll be getting other new Ultra Beasts this November.

I’ll add a cautionary note that a very conservative translation would pin the new ultra beasts as referring to only Assembly and Burst, but let’s let our minds run wild for a bit. I did consider removing this article due to the big potential of there being no new reveals, but ultimately I think for the health of the fandom it may be nice to have something to possibly look forward to. Just don’t hope too hard.

Keep your eyes peeled for more information in the coming weeks! Hope this gives you all something to look forward to!

  1. Well they did it. They found a way to get me to buy the game lol still hoping we get new alolan forms and maybe some new regular Pokémon. Dolphin Pokémon please? Komala evolution?

    • I really hope they reveal new Alolan forms too, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up for brand new regular Pokemon. This kind of treatment will likely be reserved for special Pokemon and legendaries. The UBs are basically legendaries so it makes sense for them to add more. Especially when we only have 2 mythicals and both are already released (more or less)

      • Oh I don’t plan to get my hopes up. Would just be nice to get some new regular Pokémon. If anything the new UBS gave me some slight hope for new alolan forms

  2. I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if they added more. It’d be weird to only add two and have THESE be those two. It seems unlikely that they’d reveal these two more than a month in advance of the games coming out unless there were more. If Burst and Assembly were the only two to be revealed then I’d imagine they’d want to treat them special and not reveal them so soon.

  3. I feel like it means learn more about the ones we have just seen and not knew ones. It’s 50/50 on them adding more IMO. i can picture it, but it doesnt seem very likely. I rather see more alola forms, or something in game that wasnt in SM.

  4. Most of us predicted new Pokémon since these games are called Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Their names is a reference to Ultra Beasts and since the Ultra Space has a bigger part in the story this time around, it would makes sense for there to be new Pokémon. Another thing is the title of the games suggest that these are improved versions of the original, so things like more Alolan forms seen likely.
    No new Pokémon in mid-gen has ever been introduced, until now.
    Because of this, it is now a high possibility of more UBs and Alolan forms. Only introducing two new UBs is cool but also pathetic when compared to ORAS that introduced about 20 new megas, 2 primals, and cosplay Pikachu (who is unfortunately is dead)

    TL:DR
    I believe more Pokémon (UBs/Alolan forms) will be revealed.

  6. Call me delusional, but I’m 100% on the hype train for new Alolan forms.
    My bets are Arbok, Kingler and Rapidash, all Kanto Pokémon not yet available in Alola.
    I can definitely see Ground-type Arbok in Haina Desert (based off desert serpents), Fighting-type Kingler as a rival to Crabominable (as in a Yeti vs Bigfoot showdown), and Water-type Rapidash (based off the kelpie from mythology) as one of the new rideable Pokémon.

  7. There was still the the mystery toy coming later this month that guaranteed something else new would be coming. As to it being an ultra beast it wasn’t assured (and still isn’t) but made (makes) a lot of sense.

  9. I asked what pokemon games they had at a game shop (looking for Platinum, everybody says It’s better than diamond) and as they read titles they had I learned about ones I never heard of, like “Pokemon Alpha” (No “Sapphire”) and “Pokemon Omega Rugby”

  10. Honestly, I have some odd dreams for what this game would bring.

    Snowflake fractal UB, amorphous liquid metal UB, and a UB that looks like a normal pokemon but becomes more horrifying when it attacks (like those old cartoons where a monster would roar at a kitten then the kitten would roar louder with a giant mouth)

    Evolution for Komala to make it awake, and definitely some buffs to pokemon like Bruxish, Togedemaru, Salazzle, and Ribombee.

    New alolan forms for non gen 1 pokemon, new forms for Shellos (not just an alolan form thing), and definitely an explaination on what corocoro said in the past about how Rockruff and the starters share something in common?

    Oh, and I just realized, when the first trailer came out and had Lycanroc jump, we found that in the Z move animation, so does that mean Togedemaru and Mimikyu also get Z moves?

  11. I stil don’tget all the hype about Rockruff pokedex number change. I mean this has always been a thing with 3rd version right? The regional pokedex is bigger….For example, Unfezant is number #16 in BW2 while it’s number #27 in BW. Weren’t all we already expecting a bigger dex in UsUm?

    About the introduction of the new UBs in the total dex (802 for now), I don’t think they will change that. Imo all the new staff goes after Marshadow with a new Myhical being introduced (maybe the star shaped ‘mon on the boxarts?) at the end of the pokedex.

    This makes me believe that no new regular pokemon will be introduced (sad), while there’s still a chance for new Alola Forms- I’m quite positive however about at least 2 new UBs coming to the bunch.
