The information from CoroCoro about new features in Pokémon Sun& Moon has been released in a new trailer!
Here are the main takeaways from the new information:
- Necrozma, and its Dusk Mane/Dawn Wings Formes, can learn a new Psychic-type attack: Photon Geyser! It will use either Attack or Special Attack… whichever of Necrozma’s stats is higher!
- Dusk Mane Necrozma and Solgaleo can use the new Z-Move Searing Sunraze Smash by powering up Sunsteel Strike and holding Solganium Z
- Dawn Wings Necrozma and Lunala can use the new Z-Move Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom by powering up Moongeist Beam and holding Lunalium Z
- Both new Z-Moves ignore the target’s ability when attacking
- Rotom Dex can be communicated in more ways and the way you do so can change its personality
- A new feature, the Roto Loto, grants new items which can increase EXP, prize money or other factors for set amounts of time
- Befriending the Rotom Dex will eventually allow you to use multiple Z-Moves during battle, but probably not in competitive matches
CALLED IT
I noticed that the Lunala Z-move oneshotted that Mimikyu, does it bypass Disguise then?
It ignores their abilities
LUNA ZMOVE THO
Uh, they remain with the same typing they had before but oh well, their Z-Move has the qualities that makes Z-Moves great: Over the top attacks that don’t faint Pkms but instead annihilates them in a merciless fashion 😀
Also, the english trailer made it look like that we can date Rotom, can we? Please tell me we can
Lol.. wut
A Powered-Up Rotom Dex!
The Rotom Dex is a special item. It’s a Pokédex—a tool that records information about the Pokémon that you find and catch during your adventures—but with a Rotom inside! (Rotom is a Pokémon that is able to enter various electronic appliances.)
In your adventures in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon,you’ll grow closer to Rotom the more you communicate with it, and as you do, it will come to help you even more in your journey. Rotom’s personality will change based on how you communicate with it. Perhaps the Rotom that joins you on your adventure will come to act a bit like you!
Deepen your bonds with Rotom as you travel around the world of Alola! It’ll make your adventure more lively and support you on your way!
Introducing the Roto Loto
Roto Loto is a feature that lets you get items from your Rotom Dex as you get closer to Rotom. These special items that you get from your Rotom Dex’s Roto Loto come in different varieties, with some increasing the Exp. Points or prize money that you receive for a set period of time, while others might make it easier to catch Pokémon or have other effects. You may choose to use these Rotom Powers from your Bag whenever you’d like!
Use Z-Moves again with Rotom’s Z power
If you become close enough with Rotom, it’ll use a special power for you called Rotom’s Z-Power! This lets you use a second Z-Move in battle, even though you’re normally limited to using only one Z-Move per battle!!
Searing Sunraze Smash Z-Move
Searing Sunraze Smash is a new Steel-type Z-Move that can be used if you have a Solgaleo that knows Sunsteel Strike hold the exclusive Z-Crystal Solganium Z. This attack damages a target while ignoring any effects of the target’s Ability. A Searing Sunraze Smash from Solgaleo will be extremely powerful!
Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom Z-Move
Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom is a new Ghost-type Z-Move that can be used if you have a Lunala that knows Moongeist Beam hold the exclusive Z-Crystal Lunalium Z. This attack also damages a target while ignoring any effects of the target’s Ability. The Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom that Lunala unleashes boasts tremendous power!!
New Z-Moves for Solgaleo and Lunala
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, new exclusive Z-Moves make their debut for Solgaleo and Lunala—Searing Sunraze Smash and Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom.
There is one other Pokémon that can learn Sunsteel Strike and Moongeist Beam, the moves needed to unleash these extremely powerful Z-Moves—Necrozma.
That’s right—a Necrozma that knows Sunsteel Strike or Moongeist Beam will be able to unleash Searing Sunraze Smash or Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom.
It seems there is even greater power still lurking within Necrozma, as well. Just how much power lies hidden within it?!
Ok Necrozma HAS to have a 3rd form or something
Well the covers show the light form but I kinda doubt that’ll be what it actually looks like.
I think that’s why Gigalith and Mimikyu were shown in battle versus Necrozma, to highlight that the new Z-Moves completely ignore abilities like Sturdy and Disguise.
Yup, definitely think that was the reason 🙂
omg I found out a girl in my class plays Pokemon! Like, not Go, actual Pokemon! On a 3DS! That’s a freakin rarity in Poland!
Also, happy BDay Ian
I laughed a bit when I saw Gigalith sucked away by an Ultra Wormhole
NYOOOOOM
Aaaaand he’s gone
I love’d Lunala’s zmove
It’s hillarious how this mimikyu is getting dicked by one beam and Lunala’s like
OH WAIT I GOT ALL THESE OTHER ONES LETS NOT WASTE THEM
Mark my words we have two more trailers, one will reveal another UB and the other will reveal an unrevealed feature of some sort
I’m CALLING IT
The widely screenshotted 4chan post also says new Alolan forms… let’s cross our fingers
what post?
This post. It came at a time we had no idea the games would be called Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and has basically called for stuff that appears to be in the games. It’s quite the interesting little rumor. It’s hard to say if it’s 100% correct at this point, but if it is I have no doubt the games will be balls amazing https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/27d71dc597507be686cb63c99fbc3943bdbba0cc803002316dd6d957715820e3.jpg
Ugh……..I really want to believe, but I have such a hard time now that we’re so close…….I want Alolan forms SO bad!!
Finally, a good O-Power substitute that feels well incorporated~

I’m sure every island has one because it would be illogical that you’re forced to travel to 1 location just to surf to the other islands
True
N-nani!? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c56d19865bfe07c1480ea97d467e6a6e0f39a16d846c95835c16848c5a3ddb95.jpg
Does this mean we get a Rotomdex Social Link? What’s his Ultimate Persona then? What’s his regular Persona?
Its just Pokemon fam. not that deep
I was just joking. But if only it was

ychic-type special move that only Necrozma can learn. This attack engulfs the target in a pillar of light.
Necrozma can learn this move when it’s in its Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings forms, as well. This move compares the user’s Attack and Sp. Atk stats, and it deals damage according to whichever is higher. This means that both Dusk Mane Necrozma, with its extremely high Attack, and Dawn Wings Necrozma, with its extremely high Sp. Atk, can unleash the effects of this powerful move to the fullest.
UMMM WHAT THE FUCKK
Wait that cut off
Photon Geyser is a Psychic-type special move that only Necrozma can learn. This attack engulfs the target in a pillar of light.

So basically Necronala is going to be a glass cannon nuke that can one shot Lugias
Nevermind my previous statement, this thing is shooting stupid high in ubers jesus christ
Hmmm so they’re basically bringing back O Powers eh? Yeah that’s actually a good thing. the PSS was such a gem of a feature. I really hope they bring it back in some form next gen. The new Z moves are cool too. Z moves are weird to me. They’re pretty cool, but I use them so little in favor of other hold items that have more needed effects.
Didn’t the base moves for these Z-moves already bypass abilities? Anyway I like them, it makes me wonder how movesets will work when combining and separating. The fonts used look really nice, I’m not so sure on the names but I suppose I’ll get used to them. Photon Geyser looks cool and I’m glad it’s damage is calculated that way, though I’m not sure how it actually works with the Physical side. Also Rotom Hatch and Experience Powers! I’m pleased to have them back. I hope the effect is worthwhile and recharge time (which I assume there will be) isn’t too bad, unless it is exactly like a regular one use item which would be pointless. Oh one last thing, I assume the Nature and IVs will be Necrozmas’?
My Alolan form hopes:
Alolan Kabuto & Kabutops Rock/Bug
Alolan Omanyte and Omastar Rock/Poison
Alolan Dragonite Dragon/Fairy
And Maybe:
Sacred forms which can be found in Tapus’ ruins with their regular forms being catchable outside of the ruins:
Sacred Fearow
Electric/Flying
Catchable only in Ruins of Conflict
Sacred Butterfree
Psychic/Bug
Catchable only in Ruins of Life
Sacred Tauros
Grass/Ground
Catchable only in Ruins of Abundance
Sacred Seaking
Water/Ice
Catchable only in Ruins of Hope
Prepare to be disappointed
Then violently beaten
Wtf are sacred mons
An idea. For example:
Normal Tauros can be found on the Paniola Ranch, but when you go to Ruins of Abundance, you can catch Sacred Tauros, affected by Tapu Bulu’s aura, with a typing and design resembling Tapu Bulu.
I’ve been saying for a while that if Tapus receive a animal form they should be their Avatar forms or Incarnate (not therian)
They all drop fairy (which represents their land spirit-ness) and gain physical mortal forms
Koko Electric/Flying
Lele Psychic/Bug
Bulu Grass/Ground or Rock
Fini Water/ honestly either Ghost or Dragon
That’s a stretch, but it would be interesting.
I wish, they’d look very nice
Tbh I doubt it because the forces of nature didn’t drop their types even though one of them became a land mammal
+ a Flying Coco wouldn’t be able to make use of Electric Terrain
Just a thought, I mean who doesn’t want to see GF’s on animal Tapus
Me personally they can go rot in a hole used for deification
I think they might get forms but not necessarily type changes, I think if anything they’d get ability changes
I think Tapus should have Animal forms and battling those forms would be like Totem fights-So the Sacred Forms could be their support mons
And “maybe”? it’s highly unlikely they’re adding a new type of form. And they seem to be focusing more on Z-Moves than new alolan forms so yeah…
Maybe is something I’d Maybe like to see, but not likely that will happen
So just something to keep in mind. Even after this new trailer the Japanese site still has 2 spots that are being unused currently. I imagine one will go to a new facility of some kind (but maybe not lol) Either way we still have SOMETHING big coming. One last push I think. Plus then we still have Necrozma’s light form for them to reveal.
Best looking Z-moves by far, the Ultra Space part of the move is beautiful
I actually love that so much!! I love that they basically kidnap the opponent and drag them into Ultra Space where (presumably) their trainer can’t see them and then just dump their dead body out another hole hahaha
I really hope the Roto Loto is a fair loto. I hope it’s not hard to get certain items where it just spits out the same item over and over again. The only items that REALLY matter are the money. exp. and hatching powers. all others are just extra lol
So I finished my first community center thingymawhosit
The boiler room (which seems like a thing I’d naturally finish)
Once winter starts up and I redo my farmly I’m gonna figure out how to get the rest done since I have time for goofing around
Happy Day of birth
Happy Birthday duuuuuude
Joyful Anniversary day ?
Happy Birthday Warrior of Earth

Ok so this flavor text entry is actually pretty interesting. I wonder how it ties into Necroman’s light form? The last lines specifically.
Necrozma is a mysterious Legendary Pokémon said to be from a different world. Necrozma uses light as an energy source to stay active. It also absorbs light energy from its opponents and turns that energy into powerful lasers using the prisms in its two arms. The lasers can blast through anything. It has a dangerous nature, and rages about in search of light, but also appears to be in pain when it does so.
