Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon are drawing closer to release and a new trailer has been posted to the official Japanese YouTube channel. It shows more of Mantine Riding, which even includes a surfing mini-game it appears! (We have added the English trailer, but you can still watch the Japanese one here) Also don’t forget that Dusk Mane Necrozma & Dawn Wings Necrozma had their types revealed earlier!
Minor details are also included, such as Mina retaining her spot as the 7th Trial Captain and also that Alolan Marowak will be a Totem Pokémon. It also shows more of the previously revealed Photo Club which will allow you to customize shots with different poses and backgrounds.
UPDATE: Official site also adds that over 400 Pokémon can be found in the Alola Region in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. It also listed a few exclusive Pokémon
- Ultra Sun: Houndour, Houndoom, Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Ninetales
- Ultra Moon: Electrike, Manectric, Alolan Sandshrew, Alolan Sandslash
In addition, a multitude of Pokémon not originally found in Alola are also shown off in battle!
LARVESTA AND HOUNDOUR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Damn that surfing thing is nice and this trailer is at least a lot better than the ones before but… they didn’t show any useful information about the games themselves, again?
Not sure what else they could show? Spoil the plot?
Spoil the plot of a game we already know almost all the plot of? Because this is looking more like a slightly updated version.
They could show hints at new regions, battle frontier, new stuff, I don’t know. It just feels like they didn’t add a lot for this to warrant two new games. Like the biggest additions are this photo mode, the new surfing minigame, an event exclusive Rockruff, two new Necrozma forms, two new UB and that’s mainly it? At least BW2 were completely new games in the same universe.
Lets just appreciate for a moment how we can now actually surf between the islands!
I’m just wondering if the Mantine surfing is exclusive to the contest. I hope not. I’d like to ride it without it being a contest. Maybe there’s a free surfing section of the water so you can just hang out and catch some sweet curls dude…..lol
Mina gets an expanded role?
Revamped trials?
ZORUA AND HOUNDOOM IN THE DEX
Surfing Minigame?
Oh shet I’m actually kinda happy about this?
Now if they could show new Alolan forms that would be greaT
Mareep, Zorua AND Houndour omg im so happy rn
HERACROSS AND DEDENNE ARE ALSO IN THE ALOLA DEX OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
HOLY CRAP!!!! That Mantine surfing scene is so freaking baller!!!!!! Is it bad that THAT is what has gotten me excited for these games? hahahaha Really looking forward to battling Lillie. Plus it’s cool to see that they’re changing the trials slightly in some cases. So Larvitar is in this game huh? Maybe Now I’ll use it Now all they have to do is announce new Alolan forms and I think I’ll be content. I’m still sad it’s not a brand new story, but I can get over it with more features being thrown at us XP
Nice! Only disappointed to see some of my favorites didn’t make it as Alolan forms. But then again, they already have mega’s (Mareep, Heracross, Tyranitar, Houndoom). And I don’t think Mega’s can have an Alolan forme.
I’m glad Mina got her own trail, now I wonder if the dragon trial will get its own captain :0
Also, Zorua and Mareep in the dex is AWESOME.
Btw the photo minigame os interesting
Ryuki the Trial captain? Yes please. Maybe Mina’s Trial will be in the vast poni canyon and the Dragon on the Exeggutor Island (THE TOTEM WOULD BE SOOO BIG)
Unrelated to this but Hyper Voice and Earth Power can be bred right? Cos i have an Amaura in X i’ll transfer soon and i wanna breed it with egg moves for USUM
So they’ve added an Alolan Pokemon section to the website now. This MUST mean they’re gonna add to it soon right? Please add to it GF…..
Wheezing (Flying/Fairy)
Arcanine (Dragon)
Arbok (Water)
Rapidash (Electric/Dark)
Farfetch’d (Grass/Flying)
Dodrio (Ground/Fighting)
Fearow (Electric/Flying)
Butterfree (Bug/Psychic)
PLEASE
Why……Why Fairy Weezing….
It’s healthy and happy now, it’s a Flying air freshener
You’re not gonna be healthy and happy after i’m finished with you
and your air will haves to be manually pumped in
Weezing should be Fire, whether thats pure or dual
But we need a healthy happy weezing, give them some rest from chocking
It sounds cool, but a Fire/Poison or pure Fire Weezing based on the gasses that volcanoes release would at least make more sense
Wtf are these typings
Perhaps something is hidden in the website? Does anyone have the capabilities to check?
That’s not how it works. They don’t hide those kinds of assets. If that were the case the everything they would upload would be found. they only post on the site when it’s time to do so.
Oh sorry, I don’t really know how this stuff works
It’s ok. I wish there was a way for hackers to find more info on this too hahaha
Totem Marowak!
HERACROSS IN THE REGIONAL DEX
:O
Its in the Japanese trailer (always shows a bit more stuff)

nvm i’m blind

Interesting Hau has four pokemon here in the battle at Paniola town but in sun and moon he only has two at this point. Do you think we battle him hear at a later point or do you think they’re making him a tougher opponent?
Maybe he actually picks the strong stater against you this time!
Maybe now we have to find the diffrences between dancing Sallazles?
Ride the Waves with Mantine Surf!
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, you’ll be able to have fun with Mantine Surf, a sport that lets you do some surfing while riding on Mantine’s back. Mantine Surf isn’t just a way to get between islands—it’s also a sport where you compete for the highest score by pulling off different cool moves! Try to become a top-notch Mantine Surfer by riding Mantine like a pro!
What does the japanese trailer say about Hau? He kinda Looks more serious. Also, he walks with his Torracat, more evidence for walking mons!
Yes! So cool, walking Mons
As much as it would be fun to have the feature back we’ve already seen parts of the game where the trainer would have Pokemon, but no walking Pokemon……..
They Might want to keep it as a kind of mystery. My hope to walk with my mons dies last.
i wanna go apple picking, there i said it
Apple picking is a fun fall thing to do. I wish I could go too
i just want to eat a buttload of apples

So it looks like Sudowoodo is not getting an Alola form. From the few seconds about trials it seems we are confirmed that there will be a return of the Fire, Ghost, Electric, Grass trials, and that Mina will have her own trial.
That may just mean that Johto Alolan forms won’t happen this gen…
Just because Sudowoodo didn’t get a new form?
It’s a gigantic stretch, I know, but maybe.
I hope you’re wrong
I hope I’m right
Why? You don’t want more Alolan forms?
I want more Kanto Alolan forms. Johto could get some in gen 8.
They already added an Alola Forms page to the Pokemon website. I don’t think they would do that unless they were planning on adding more. It would also let them capitalize on the VC GS. I am on the side that believes there will be Johto Alola forms.
They could just give more forms to Alolan mons, there are many left that deserve em. Like Dragonite with Fairy type would be great.
Surfing? What the hell? Did Pokemon turn into SSX or something? Just give us dive.
Dive like that would be hard as f*ck to make. We got a really fun looking minigame, no reason to be upset.
I bet it’s completely possible. I think that’s making excuses for them
It looks amazing
It does look nice…I just want to dive in the beautiful alola waters
So the official site still has Tauros, Lapras, and Charizard as ride Pokemon. I think maybe we either have just brand ones in general added onto the list or maybe Sharpedo got the boot?
Hopefully not, Sharpedo’s was really cool. It’s a shame there were no huge water routes to use it on like in Hoenn
Too much water
Maybe we can only use Mantine between islands
I think Mantike is more of a minigame than a Pokeride, I mean, I doubt it’ll be used as a ride Pok
It says in the trailer that you can use it to go from one island to the next. I wonder if that just means you have to play the mini game to get to one island from another if you choose to ride Mantine
Aaaaa.
Surfing is cool.
New trials is cool.
Lillie with a pokeball is cool.
But when your main new feature is just a photobooth, and the story is just slightly altered,and there’s no news of new post game stuff. That’s bad
True I think if they had thrown in an Alolan form or two this trailer would have been better. It would have been closer to the tier of what they were showing last year haha
See its these little trailers that help pump the lifeblood back into our fleeting hype
I am really liking the exclusives for Ultra Sun right now. I prefer both the UB and the Houndoom line with their counterpart.
Talking just about the new mons Moon has better ones. Aloslash Looks better than Alotails for me and I love Oranguru. (Tho I prefer Midday to Midnight)
I’d be cool if Maybe in Pokemon Switch we have basic ride pokemon (for example Rapidash), and then if we catch a simmilar mon (for example Zebstrika) we can replace the basic ride mon. So you can choose the mon you ride without HMs.
That makes sense, so GF wont include it
Glad i dont have to worry about exclusives because i’m getting both versions 😀
Lillie looks SO pretty in the official artwork (the epic looking one at the end)
Yay, I beat the Reaper twice
Ride the Waves with Mantine feel like riding air with sonic riders zero gravity look at 1:26 …..I always want pkmn race game though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sME-UIxJe7s
Sonic Riders was a fun game but kept losing its charm
