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?

What the hell is anything anymore
They’ve officially given up in making Pokemon balanced. Now they’re just throwing crazy stuff to make the game, I guess more fun?
I’m never using this if they make us watch the cutscenes though
Optional side function/easy mode probably to hype up spamming up the new mechanic more + giving the anime and other adaptions leeway
There are better ways to hype up this thing, like, they never allowed more than one mega to allow it to be more spammed. They should realise how powerful the Z-moves really are
Another thing. Why doesn’t Gladion give you the second Type: Null before you leave for Poni? I mean he knows you’re going to the home of the Ultra Beasts (which Null is designed to fight) and its also given at Level 40, which is actually underlevelled for Poni. Its stats aren’t amazing either, you get the much stronger Zygarde near the end of the third island.
In My broken up fanfic the CryoFrozen Type: Null is unfrozen by Me (via Incineroar’s Flamethrower) and it follows you and gladion to Nigeligo’s domain and joins you after it saves you from the queen (The Luasmine one)
My fanfic actually was going to add elements that would look neat in USUM like this for example
Does he like you at that point yet? I think he finally said we werent enemies anymore after we beat him before Mount Lanakila, so he probably didnt really like you until that point. You havent even saved his mom yet at Poni
He’s still willing to give you the Master Ball and Sun Flute tho, and considering you’re the greatest thing to happen to his little sister I thought he’d be a bit nicer
He acts that way because you are the greatest that happened to his sister. He is being over-protective in his own edgy way.
Here’s my rough team for USUM I guess
Primarina/Incineroar/Decidueye
Meganium/Feraligatr/Typhlosion
Lycanroc Dusk
Silvally
???
???
Wiat starters have you akready used?
What and already
Decidueye
Toxapex
Ribombee
Alolan Ninetails
Zoroark/Houndoom
Hopefully an Alolan Johto form
I really like your last one and hope that it comes true.
Really hoping for Alolan Johto forms because they can really be expanded upon
Tbh I feel like regional variants are gonna continue (considering we got a region neutral term for them rather than just ‘Kanto/Alola Forms’), but I think they might be exclusive to the start of a gen, just like new regular Pokémon seem to be as of now
Uhhgggg… that’s so stupid though
I’d rather they focus on features that’ll be sidelined later during third versions rather than stuff we can get any Gen
Plus, if gen 8 is Indian we could get a holy Cow miltank
Likewise. I mean we still have a little bit over a month until the game releases and going by Coro Coro track record they haven’t really revealed anything impressive this pre-release season. The interesting stuff has really only came from the trailers and stuff on shows. I’d say that we easily have time for two or three more of those.
Here are my two cents by suggesting you to use Prima and Typhlo :3
Go with Deci and Feraligatr. And then use Houndoom and something else
Meh…The news the other day was more interesting/exciting.
This Mascot exclusive Z-Moves were pretty much expected anyway.
Multiple Z-Moves in battle doesn’t sound like a great idea to me personally.
I’m reallly happy with the Overwatch Halloween skins but I hate I gotta wait two days to get home and start trying to get them!! My wishlist is
All new tracer items
Ana Pirate
Junkenstien
Witch Mercy
And most importantly
DRAGON SYMMETRA
My not sure USUM team
Decidueye
LycanDusk
Alolan Persian
Kommo-o (if we can access jangmo earlier (much earlier))
*I’ll decide while playing*
*I’ll decide while playing*
If Jangmo-o’s availability’s an issue I’d happily trade you an egg?
Thx, but still I’ll be pretty pissed if they don’t fix that issue
At least you’ll get a Jangmo-o in a good ball out of it :p
I’d recommend you using a Kommie anyways, it’s poor movepool makes the game a little more challenging and it’s design and animations are pretty awesome
I find poor move pools make them game more frustration rather than hard
Idk, the limited options is something I tend to like in videogames
True but there’s a point where it just isn’t fun anymore
I thought Kommo-o had a decentish movepool? Physically it’s bad but specially it’s actually quite decent, it just wishes it got Aura Sphere
The lack of aura sphere made go for a more physical movepool than special in fact, also, it gets SD so
And Inci/Deci get Nasty Plot, doesn’t make their special sets better
Physical Kommo-o gets all it really needs: Clanging Scales, Focus Blast, Flamethrower, and Flash Cannon.
But Commie doesn’t get any special boosting move, and Focus blast misses more than I miss my social life
Plenty of Pokémon cope without boosting moves or accurate moves, and you can also just run mixed
Uhm, I have a pet peeve against mixed sets, but I guess someday I’ll run a special Commie to see how good it is 😮
Ultra Sun (Jeff) so far:
Incineroar
Lycanroc (Midday)
Kommo-o (maybe)
Ninetales (Alola) unless something new comes along
Toucannon
Ultra Moon (Belle) so far:
Primarina
Lycanroc (Dusk)
Drampa (maybe)
Raichu (Alola) or Manectric
Zoroark
Bewear (maybe)
What do you mean by “Jeff” and “Belle”
His characters names :p
People do that? Huh. I always name them after me.
I usually just do names I like
Ultra Moon is goona be Luna
One of them is named after me….
I sometimes make characters, sometimes name them after myself, and sometimes meme
Huh. Actually never thought about that. Mine are always just Hubs (short for Hubert).
AloRaichu is soooo much better than Manectric
I think if I really really enjoy ultra Moon I may reset as soon as I finish the E4 and use a definitive Alola team of my favorites from the region
Primarina
Alolan Raichu
Tsareena
Salazzle
Mimikyu
Alolan Ninetails
Ngl, I think USUM is gonna be a super long game that prioritises narrative over resetreplayability
I know. It’s going to be a pretty big if.
I may just reset Moon in a year
I want them to pull an every other Nintendo franchise ever and branch off
A line of simple, repayable games
A line of narrative driven games with gimmicks (Gen 5/7, Gen 6/7 gimmicks)
If they didn’t name Cosmog Nebby a really good name for Lunala would be “Stellaluna”
Kinda long and difficult to say
I can say it perfectly tho :l
I kinda don’t like it because it’s two different names smashed together in a way that imp doesn’t really flow
Sooo, Stelluna would be better?
It’s from a children’s book
Well I mean
You can rename Nebby ?
Or Nella

That Zarya skin tho
Happy Birthday!!!!!
Uh? is it Alex’s birthday? How do you know it 😮
I said it was multiple times
Happy birthday againz
Multiple times clearly isn’t enough for me 😛
Happey bithtoday
Happy Birthday https://68.media.tumblr.com/2868ec628627b6fca0f40894c4db8b67/tumblr_nya8t8vOmR1u7487lo1_400.gif
lol thanks
Yeah I remembered his is the same as my brothers
At least Reaper custom looks better than previous Halloween.
???
Vampire is better than pumpkin head
I prefer the Halloween 2016 one
Happy Halloween
ARE YOU KIDDING ME DOOMFIST STILL GETS NOTHING?! COME ON
At least I get one for Zen and an intro for Roadie…
Try fans one https://orig00.deviantart.net/110b/f/2017/209/3/c/doomfist_avatar_spirit_by_sticklove-dbi0qbw.gif
Wat did he mean by this? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3e3a65713ec8add23341a905b2c3563f8a85ac6e16e89a8dad959ddb77a5cf46.jpg
Hopefully this doesn’t mean another two forms for Necrozma, then he’d have 5
I am not sure about this translation though ………but Necrozma deserve more forms those mascot forms r not counted for me they don’t look like him.
there’s still the star shaped “shadow” probably related to Necrozma
Maybe they’ll be some minor form that is plot related only like Radiant Sun and Full Moon
This would be my assumption right now.
Wait he delete it
Or he made a mistake or Nintendo Ninjas are back at it again
guys those are Necrozma new forms other names. Check here in the “other language section”:
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Necrozma_(Pok%C3%A9mon)
Those are the japanese names for Necrozma forms btw
Prediction: after the trailer that will follow this, we’ll get two more pieces of news: one end of Oct/start of Nov, one right before release
Is there any player unable to access code by any means ? I managed to snag an extra code.
omg i remember you. I think unless ur new then hi
Remember they are region locked.
crud, your’e right. Free trip to spare from Gamestop?
Mine threw all mine out so hi lol
Hi!
First things first. I seriously remember you from the x/y also Oras days. its been awhile :D. ur username is so easy to remember. how’ve you been
I’m doing good, though managerial accounting can kick the bucket. I’ve been stuck on this one class. For a minor, mind you. Ugh.
Wow im sorry to hear. Lifes been hard for me too
I’m sorry. Plus, I’m still SRing for shiny Type: Null.
Im sring for a shiny in HG/SS
First come first served.
Half of me want to preorder, the other half doesn’t. Half of the half that want to preorder want both, the other doesn’t, just one.
BUT UB BURST AND ADHESIVE THO!!!
You have to pre-order for old time’s sake! Hi again, I remember you 🙂
Yo! ShinyXatu! Long time, no see!
Do you remember Good ole Govnah tho 🙁
May as well. Been getting both since X and Y.
It’s freaking 1-5 bucks what’s the big deal
Wow first a cameo by Bastiodon and now MissMilotic! Its always nice to see old faces again.
Bastiodon was here?!
Yea maybe a few weeks ago but don’t hold me to that I’m terrible at judging the passage of time lol?. But I’m sure it was fairly recent.
Crud, we need to have a veteran reunion.
Yes! I’ll send out the ravens post hast!
Well I named my Snapdragon Pseudo-Legendary
Snoom, Grass-> Snaggon, Grass/Dragon-> Thordra, Grass/Dragon
(Snap+Bloom) -> (Snap+Dragon) ->(Thorn+Dragon)
Hmmmmmm do they have sweet smelling tongues that they wiggle around waiting for small insect, rodent and bird Pokemon to draw close then slams their mouth shut
Because I see it as a quadruped alligator flytrap dragon, into a bipedal raptor, then finally a European dragon with flytrap styled wings
NNNNRRRAAGGHH BRAIN WORKING!!!!!
Thorndra will be a large quadruped flora dragon with a dark jade coloration with Emerald accents, it’s legs have thorny grooves and its talons only have 2 claws that resemble a insectoid mantis (even with the barbs) with a deep eggplant purple, its long thin vine like neck can rotate and stretch for maximum mobility, a large powerful underbite jaw with long sickle like teeth, yellow and magenta eyes with no pupils and four horns that resemble real snapdragons, it’s aforementioned wings are cross between dragon bat wings but have the long pointed teeth of a flytrap, it also has a spine of red curved thorns and finally it’s tail I’m thinking should actually be a second smaller head head but has a tri-hinged jaw that can capture prey even from behind it,
Thorndra might be better, Thordra makes me think of Thor first. Snaggon sounds like something I’d need to be wary I don’t snag my clothes on.
Thorndra could work too (I actually considered both then just choose one)
Oh and are you ready for Skitty? I just need 5 mins. To get my Rotomdex and get to the PC
Yeah, but it’ll need to be 20 minutes because I need to check on something.
Ok all I need is to go through the super long tutorial of the Plaxa
Alright, I’ll head to plaza now.
Ok its not Alex, in it My name is Hayley in it (I felt like using my friends name for my account for Sinnoh cap)
Oh you’ll need 2 ‘mon to trade btw.
Oh I just want the Skitty you bred (I am no where near the Breeding center part) So I’ll just take it
Well I got a Japanese male one for you to use with it if you want.
Ok I’ll take it
Thank you!
Just remember you’ll either need to evolve it to not pass the ball or risk the ball being a regular pokeball.
Ok Thank you!
NP, good luck getting a shiny male, ask me if you need help with the Magikarp Method should you choose to use it.
When oldies start to return
http://memes.ucoz.com/_nw/38/28113822.jpg
This place has changed so much in the past 4 years. Almost an entirely new roster of regulars.
Like me
True, it’s like Yugi guest stars in GX or something.
stars*
Elder ShinyXatu and Elder Govnah 😉
OH! You were GovnahSkiddo!
Yeah, feeling old rocks! I’ll never forget it though, those edgy teenage years created some great memories here. We were closer than many people here may realize.
Honestly we were pretty close, what happened to that 🙁
People grow up and move on, the fact that we’re still around shows some serious dedication.
Yeaaaa remember i found u on Ign 😀 and you were like come back to PJN
I don’t remember that actually but I believe it! I used to be a diehard PokeJungle fanboy, now it’s just a daily ritual to come here.
good times eh ole friend

DOES MY NAME FLOOD MEMORIES @shinyxatu:disqus
Don’t forget, I think I may have suggested GovnahSkiddo in the first place!
ur my origin story :^)
You know what? I’ll get both, friggit. I want UB Burst but have Phyco and Soliera, and UGH!
GG GF, GG.
GF lives for our pain
And wallets
Our very, very pained wallets

Best gif
The sun and moon anime has given birth to some of the greatest reaction gifs!
All these feel too messy and seem gimmick. Sad.
Ok seriously is this a family reunion rn :'(
I’ll never forget Fen with the Volkner avatar. He just left one day and never came back. Surely you don’t remember, I don’t know why he sticks in my head in particular. Godspeed fella, I hope you’re doing alright.
I remember Fen
Is Dicie still around?
he comments once and awhile
Not as often as Dae and Xatu but yes
I really hope Fae is doing alright.
Yeah what ever happened to him? I know about the fight, but he came back and then just vanished
I know he had some personal stuff going on. The guy was having it pretty rough so I can understand why he left. Just really hope things are getting better
Me too he was one of the first friends I made here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iht6H6jzGs
All these old users coming back like:
veterans can we have a meet up and recreate this.
Oh.. the old SilverRiolu can’t talk right now
Why?
BECAUSE SHE’S DEAD
Whatever happened to her.
I murdered her and stole her disqus account
sounds about right.
So I’m going to bring back some Pokémon discussion to this glorious place. How many new Pokémon/Ultra Beasts do you think Game Freak will hide in the game without first revealing them? Because you’re probably wrong if you think these three UBs are everything. I think that thing with eyes in the box art will be a new Ultra Beast, but there will probably be a few more on top of that. Maybe we could also get unannounced Alolan forms?
I don’t think we’ll get new Alolan forms but I think we can get about three to four new UB’s.
The only way I could justify new Alolan forms is if we are able to access an entirely new island, and that really doesn’t seem likely. Maybe we could also see some aquatic forms if we’re now able to dive or something.
Ultra Megalopolis is a parallel world, what if they have forms of our pokemon?
Technically that could happen but that city is in Ultra Space, meaning it should just be Ultra Beasts that live there. I guess that’s why the trainers use UB Adhesive.
I think there’s a big misunderstanding about US. Anabel came from US so basically we’re all part of US.
I mean they are US for us like we are US for them
I agree. A few new dive exclusive would be a nice surprise.
considering that from Lunala to Necrozma there are just 9 spots and that Nihilego, Xurkitree, Burst, Assembly, Guzzlord and Adhesive will be in the dex before national dex i think that Pheromosa and Buzzwole will not invade alola this time and will wait for us in the post game (national dex). This leaves 3 spots that can be:
1) One new UB with Kartana/Celesteela returning (no more reveal before release)
2) Three new UBs (two of which version exclusives.(o or two reveals before release)
12 ….so just more 2
I may see 4 or five, at most, possible new UBs: 3 in both games; 2 exclusive (Burst in US, Assembly in UM). I don’t really see more Alolan forms coming, unless it was a new island to explore with newly discovered forms (like the tiny islands from ORAS).
I could actually see lots of new UBs, possibly over 10 of them, since we’re spending so much time in Ultra Space. I’m thinking something like a normal random encounter, which would explain why UB Adhesive is used by the team and MAY not be considered legendary at all. That’s what I’m thinking, various non-legendary UBs incapable of escaping Ultra Space on their own. This is wishful thinking territory indeed.
True, but to not get my hopes up, I’m keeping the numbers reasonably low. That way, if there are more than expected, then I’d be very thrilled.
I think maybe 3 more UB’s and at least 3 new Alolan’s
Nintendo has trademarked the Gameboy again. Classic coming?
Nintendo stop
Switch Classic :^)
Wouldn’t put it past them lol
Switch Classic, The joy cons are twice as small. and can only play Botw
I’d be okay with a Super Mario Land and Tetris machine.
yea just make it like $40 bucks tho
3 spots of those would be Pokémon .-.
release both gameboy and n64 and have Pokemon Stadium work with it 😀
This is the CoroCoro that blew all of our minds here at PokeJungle back in August 2013. Things have never been the same since.

no this is
Actually it’s the one where they show the sun and moon box arts but not really it’s just all whited out
Actually its the one where they showed nothing
Which one in particular
That one
Ok my memory still strong
I remember Skiddo was already kinda shown in a photo of Lumiose City, but it took them a while to reveal it. Same with Rockruff.
Skiddo is the reason im here
Rockruff people thought was a deer.
I don’t think a deer would have been as good, I’m set with Sawsbuck and Stantler.
Yeah I love Rockruff and the evolutions. I think if we get another deer I’d like it to be an ancient one like Megaloceros. Of course you could argue that’s what Xerneas is but I’d like it to be a regular evolving non-legend.
Maybe we’ll get that as a fossil pokemon.
That would bee cool and different, so far we haven’t had a Mammalian fossil.
Yep I really want to see ancient pokemon from the Pliocene epoch.
Then you’ll probably not want my Reindeer Pokémon that’s coming in my region
That’s a good idea! I think a Normal/Electric reindeer would be cool, based on Rudolph with a big light-up nose and other light up areas.
It’s actually… Rock/Ice, but I want it to be diverse so stuff like Spark and Flash could be level up moves
Might consider giving it something like Solid Rock, it has 2 4x Weaknesses which are common attack types/
Ooo that’s good Definitely going on it
Since its meant to be tough and a solid Pokémon (But still will have some fast speed for rock)
Probably give it Sturdy and Rock Head too. I’m not sure even with 25% reduction on damage from fighting or steel moves it’ll survive anyway so I’d consider its’ stats as well as design carefully before finalising anything. Maybe a new ability would help more.
I always thought it was a puppy (what human just has a tame deer with them in a random village)
Santa
So many fond memories today!
I believe Bunnelby and Dedenne was there too right?
I remember seeing the news here but I believe I commented on Mountmoon as I wasn’t a member here. I do so hope we haven”t seen the last of Megas.
Remember the speculation for who’s getting megas? The possibly of Mega Flygon and Mega Milotic? *sigh* memories…
Yep, especially in 2014 when ORAS came around and we thought “oh yeah, it’s guaranteed!” Then they gave us Mega Audino and Mega Slowbro instead.
Which actually not bad, but…*stares at Mega Beedrill*
And who remembers Mega Aerodactyl?
I Do! I like the jutting stones from its body
*Wonders why Mega Glalie exists*
It should’ve just been an evolution… I was kinda bummed they gave it a mega?
Still sad that Mawile, Absol, Glalie and Pinsir got Mega’s and not Evolutions and Pre-Evolutions
I actually love that design personally, I’m glad it happened.
Man, I remember when I speculated that Sharpedo would get a Mega, and he did and I was so excited at first, but when I saw it in-game I was disappointed because his teeth got smaller. It’s a SHARK, dammit.
I ended up liking Mega Slowbro a lot. Probably my favorite new Mega. No: Mega Gallade. Mega Sceptile is cool too.
I’ve never liked Mawile, and thought “now it’s twice as creepy!”
Member when we thought there was fourth pokemon in the circle (people thought drapion)

MEGA LOPUNNY CHANGED MY LIFE
Bleh, ORAS Megas
They never gave me anything I liked
Not even Steelix or Camerupt?
They’re awful and you know it
Yo, who here remembers when we saw Venusaur go up against Furfrou, and we all thought it’s some new llama pokemon?
(I still want one…)
Ah the disappointment, in not getting a Llama that is, Furfrou is OK.
Cotton Guard is fantastic though
Coupled with Fur Coat? Seems surprisingly defensive.
I used it once
The best stall I’ve ever done
On the topic of llama Pokemon, I want a Grass starter llama for gen 8. Who’s with me?
Whoa, I didn’t even see this before commenting! It must be fate.
I could see a Llama grass starter, maybe. Not related but I’d really like a water buffalo starter.
I mean, if there’s some sort of extinct llama species that could be it’s final evo, I’m totally cool with it
HOW DARE YOU FORGET OUR CREATOR LLAMA GOD!
