Japan’s monthly comic magazine, CoroCoro, has once again covered the upcoming Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon games with a large spread revealing new information!
- Necrozma’s new forms, Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings, will both be getting the ability Prism Armor
- Necrozma can learn a new attack, Photon Geyser (Psychic-type/Sp. Atk), which appears to be usable by both forms
- Necrozma will also be getting new Z-Moves which will turn Sunsteel Strike into the new Z-move Sunshine Smasher if Dusk Mane, or Moongeist Beam into Moonlight Blaster for Dawn Wings. It appears that this will also be available to Solgaleo and Lunala, respectively, as well.
- Pokédex Rotom will be getting much more interactive in USUM! You can now befriend Rotom by communicating and interacting with it to increase it’s Z Rotom Power. Rewards for the increased compatibility include being able to use Z-Moves more than once per battle and gaining items and powers through a new feature called Rotopon. The latter definitely being a play on Gachapon, the famous capsule machines in Japan which Pokémon and Pokéballs took inspiration from
Check out the full scans below:
The new extra Z-Move sounds pretty game changing, but we’re hoping it’s only for the story mode! Happy to see Rotom will be playing a larger roles in the new games, or are you hyped for Necrozma’s new found abilities and moves?
Exclusive Z-moves for Necrozma. Moongeist Blaster for Dawn Wings and Photon Geyser for Dusk Mane.
There’s also a new mechanic called Z-Rotom power, which powers up your Z-moves if you have good compatibility with Rotom Dex.
I CALLED IT THEY’RE GONNA BE SHITT!!!
THEY HAD ONE JOB, DON’T GIVE LUNALA FUCKING PRISM ARMOR GODDAMNIT
I’m so fucking livid right now
And than Dusk gets a signature and Lunala doesn’t because CLEARLY that’s fair
If Lunala doesn’t have access I’ll legitimately lose my shitt
Where’s it say that
Beats me
I mean they both get new attacks so what’s he pulling an Earthen for?
It can’t be..Its like giving Kyogre a primal form and leaving Groudon untouched
That’s just unfair, I’m sick of water types getting everything good
Water dominates everything.
Sorry 2 say :]
Fak yoooou
(Refresh)
Haha I regret following them orders now !!

Serebii..
Corocoro leaked
You can’t just give one legendary a new move and not give the other legendary one
That’s trash
I’m sure they both get equal treatment. We’re at early stages so we’re not 100% sure. They’d never give one legendary cover something without doing the same to the other.
I refuse to accept it.
Is it that farfetched?
fgdasfdsasfsaf
I hope Photon Blaster goes to them both
At least we got the cooler Z-move….
To me its as likely as getting Sinnoh and Hoenn in these games lol with a 5 stage evolution for Mewtwo haha
I’d be highly surprised
Nevermind ignore this it says usable by both im dumb
wowow i love Rotom getting a buff..Its almost forgotten and a new reusable z move wowow
Guys there’s a Spiderman homecoming showing.
Should I go watch it?
is it any good???
Go! It’s great!
Ok. That’s enough for me. I’m going. Haha thanks!
Have fun! 😀
its bad…even the fight scenes are horrible
Very
It’s awesome
Z-moves twice per battle? Lmao hope thats exclusive to regular playthroughs because if you can do that in competitive things will go wild
well it depends on what z move rotom can do it with. How strong it is etc
Either way its cool!
In competitive that would break the metagame
But it’s clear Game Freak has zero clue how that silly thing works
Expect a trailer tomorrow
That I can believe or at least want to believe
Now that would be amazing!
Maybe even today because it leaked 2 days earlier than expected
NOTE: As mad as I am about Prism Armor, the Photon thing pisses me off way more
AS LONG as its not an exclusive move, I won’t actually mind that much
Yeah Prism Armor makes me angry too, they’re stealing my Solid Rock and making it all schmancy
BUT ITS SO USELESS ON LUNALA
ITS STILL SO WEAK TO KNOCK OFF, IT’S GUARANTEED DYING IN ONE HIT STILL
Wait I’m blind it says usable by both forms
WHOOPS
Honestly this corocoro is a snoozer
I mean we all figured these forms would get a new attack or z-move but bleh
Arghh getting the legendary bird trio in XY is so darn time consuming!
I never bothered after the first week
Come to think of it….I don’t think I even bothered to catch Cosmog or receive type null….
I’m tryna do more post game stuff which ive been lacking in lately plus Moltres is a favourite of mine!
I immediately started gathering stuff to breed anything once I finished
And it was worth it!
3 6IV Dittos
Dittos of all the important natures (Adamant, Modest, Jolly, Timid, Impish, Bold, Calm and Careful)
Helping Pokemon like friskers, level uppers, SOS chainers
And getting triples of all the competitive items
I don’t understand…
My grades are high, I was always near top of the class, I did activities, clubs, I did everything
Why is my class Rank not even in the top 20? The kids in my school are fucking idiots
HOW did they score higher!?
I DON’T GET IT
WHAT DID I EVEN DO WRONG!?
maybe their will be other Ultra beasts we never seen after they announced burst assembly and adhesive https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ca9a37d7ee7a8724b76810cdc0e2778fdc598a87e6c0045bdd36382c6db10a49.jpg
Welp I currently wish I was dead…
*Drops a exceedingly large boulder onto you*
I actually wish for that right now
I literally had every single reason I feel anything just ripped away from me,…
Oh god, now Pokémon is even doing lootboxes -_-
So I really don’t like the asspect of using multiple Z-Moves
It just breaks the who gimmick of single use powermoves
Like imagine double Clangorous Soulblazes?
Consecutive Eevee boost+Baton Pass, am outttt
Well it needs to survive twice
It’s certainly surviving after the first
Or whatever broken ass buff the Necroforms one will do
Maybe it might be an in-game thing? That would be the best way to implement it while keeping everything level.
When I say in-game i mean you won’t be able to use two z-moves in multiplayer.
I hope not, the last thing I need is more S-Moves being used against me
Deci used Sinister arrow raid
And it used it again
I’ll just have Pangoro punch them away!
Lol that’s that’s a funny joke
In a RU team Pangoro is an easy mon to counter
Not mine 😛
So for reference
Lunala needs 60 more in each defense stat in order to take super effective hits as well as it did before
Isn’t that wonderful?
Tecnically you are talking about Necrozma, cause Lunala stats and ability didn’t change…
You know what I mean
Anyway, there’ll be at least 100 more base stats for the original Necrozma, which already has 101/89 defenses…so maybe it will be boosted there
It needs 60 in each defense to take hits as well as it did before
Even then it can’t survive a knock off with an item
Shadow shield was pretty unuseful in a world where stealth rocks, spikes, toxic etc exist. We don’t know its stats yet so let’s wait and see
Why did I bother to get out of bed today
This is probably the worst I’ve felt in years
Get in line ghostboy
I got work today and yesterday was a disaster
Oh boi like your life is so bad compared to mine
I just realized everything I’ve accomplished in the past 12 years of my goddamn life was a fucking waste of time and that I’m no more valuable than shitt on the side of the road
Dang what happened?
Oh, nothing much, just learned that I’m number 25 in my class rank despite the fact that literally everyone above me barely tried and that half my school is full of people who probably have the intelligence of a dead piece of lettuce and have proven this countless times despite the fact that I literally spent the last 12 years being proud of my intelligence and nothing else
Now I don’t even have that
Is that really the end though? Its not like you failed right? And to be honest maybe you misjudged those around you and put yourself up on a pedestal with no real supports so now that reality is hitting home it’s hurting. You shouldn’t pay much heed to things like that because there’s always a bigger fish and if you underestimate them you’ll only set yourself up for further disappointment.
But like… they aren’t smart… it’s literally because they took more APS than I did and got a higher weighted average because that’s what this school talks about. I had higher grades than more than half of them
I know it’s cause I didn’t take enough APS because my stress levels were skyrocketing but I should have taken the damn things so this is entirely my own fault
This is based on weighted averages and getting an 85 in a weighted class is more than like getting a 90 in an unweighted…
Cause like they always get stuff wrong and I get higher grades than them and …
I can’t…. this weighting shitt is so stupid…
Math probably didn’t help me either…
So what does this mean for you? It seems you know where things went south so if any thing use it as a learning experience instead of dwelling on what they did.
I know… it’s just…. it’s so … infuriating
Now I feel I hate Z-move.
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Hf-J7B1hZ9o/maxresdefault.jpg
Still hate it we should have more forms or more UBs
Well likely get at least one more UB, but as for forms….Not sure about that now
Maybe multi-use Z-moves are only for the in-game story. I hope it’s not for competitve vgc/smogon scenes. The only thing I want from the new games at this point is for move tutors and a decent post game to be fully confirmed. Also I kind of want Bulu to get Play Rough. It has no physical fairy moves. Some of these exclusive Z moves are rather disappointing since they meta will vgc will probably depend on them to some extent. I guess I will be Running Never Ending Nightmare Gengar or Mimikyu as an attempt to counter these forms.
You don’t need to worry about the new forms, Lunala’s new form is a straight nerf
Y serebii said Photon Geyser is exclusive for Dusk Mane form???
I dunno, probably too lazy to fix it
Geyser means like heating thing right?
It’s kinda like a burst of water from the earth
Essentially the move is like a giant fountain of light that shoots upwards and rains down
That fit with sun them more then ….it would be logical if Sun form have it but I hope that’s not true.
I don’t think it’ll be sun exclusive since it’s been implied that BOTH Solagelo and Lunala utilize light in their attacks, just different types
Does it make sense? Not really, but that’s what gamefreak is going with apparently
I told him scan says it is new move that Necrozma learns and the Japanese text literally says “Either can use!” but he kinda just blew me off. You can also note that the border for it has both orange and blue
Props to Joey -_-
Whelp guys…I think that’s it. The final nail being hammered into the coffin for any hope of new Alolan forms….If it was gonna happen then this was their last stand. Tis a shame. Pretty disappointed that they’d do so few of them and then introduce them all in a single set of games. Was almost sure they’d give us more. Oh well……New Z moves are pretty cool I guess…..*sniff*
Well at least we have new UBS and probably have a few more
Also, we learned that Necro Dusk is like 20x better than Necro Dawn now…
I guess……Nee UBs are cool, but I was hoping for something I could put on my team during the main story. Also I’m not sure I care about the usefulness of either of them lol
True true
Just livid
Today has not been a good day for me whatsoever
Y so?
Because Prism Armor on a Psychic/Steel is better than Prism Armor on a Psychic/Ghost. This in turn makes Dusk Mane Necrozma better than Solgaleo (Full Metal Body Prism Armor). Of course, we still have to wait for the stats but so far, that’s the impression.
So essentially “Rotom Power” Is most likely O power
I’ll take it
i.e. in-game single player only? I hope so, because it sounds wayyyy OP.
Probably, it’s like the stuff in gen 6 most likely
I never used those, but I felt the same
If they remove the part where the Rotomdex says “Zoinks” I’m canceling my pre-order
Now it’s Z-oinks
Get out…
I’m canceling you
Wait, when did he say “Zoinks”?
At the battle royale and while going to the legendary area
UGH UU IS BEING A DICK THIS MORNING
Avoid UU
It’s in a bad spot right now
nothing but gliscor, gard, wash and everything i hate
Gliscor is cute
Yaaay.. I knew it! I knew it the moment the professor told Ash, he will likely only have enough energy for 1 z-move per battle right now. At the start of the anime.
I hope it is Not only in-game, though this did come to my mind first. .. like dodging and amie ://
We will all get use to it if not.. like everything else. Definitely will improve lots of our strategies, especially mine :)))))))
I actually never got to finish SM… too busy
-_-
