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
Have you noticed that all pokemon in the new trailer are pretty high levels?
In the English trailer Gigalith and Mimikyu are lv. 65
In the Japanese trailer, Crobat and Bewear are lv. 70 while Gigalith and Mimikyu are lv. 75 (in the wild?)
Mimikyu (I think) has the gray Pokeball icon on its HP bar which only appears when you see a Pokémon in the wild you’ve already caught. So maybe it could be true?
Some of these would make great Pokemon! I know we already have the Tsuchinoko as Dunsparce. But I would love to see Game Freaks take on the Kamaitachi. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cca811cb7319c18eec566a352542c43ec4abf89e6ce6bf5bd08920ac5871bc88.jpg
Yara ma yah who?
Sounds f*cking scary and weird
Looks the part as well?
Aswang…
Wouldn’t want to run into her at night?
The name amused my immature side. There are some I’d like as Pokemon like Ammit and Kelpie.
Oh! I see the joke now lol https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e0ee0e83dbf956f5bbf6f41f00125f722e274f5a19eb889379085d2ed58f12c1.jpg
That’ll give this deer nightmares… I am already shuddering…
On that note, the Gashadokuro sounds like an attack on titan basis…

#NotMyNingen
Hey its me
Speaking of ningens, it’s hilarious that James has the same Seiyuu as Zamasu from Dragon Ball Super
Wait, Rotom friendship will make you encounter wild pokemon at higher levels? Was this an O-power back in gen 6?
Nope
Scenes when Ash actually gets Solgaleo, and they bring back Tobias for 1 episode in the league arc and he has a Dawn Wings Necrozma who one shots Ash’s team
Sinnoh confirmed
He’ll hack 6 Arceus.
I really love Animal Crossing, but I hope that whatever main game comes next for it really takes some cues from Stardew Valley. I want deeper relationships with villagers (NOT furry crap though) and better customization of the town. There’s probably more stuff I’d like, but this is all I’ve got for now.
Next thing you know the Koala man from 3 doors down is waiting on your bed in a leather gimp suit and twirling around handcuffs
This is freaking hilarious
Nooo not lyman
……spent….last…..3-5 hours……Stardew Valley…..first week of winter….winter…..sucks…..ass
Gotta get that green house fam
Next year
Take this time to get further in the mines
Fish, Mines, Barn animals. Now is a good time to focus on the relationships with townspeople and maybe stocking up materials
I married Abigail in the winter ^.^
Your first winter? Damn you really put the work in. I don’t exactly know who I want to marry or even if I do
I knew her daily patterns so I just talked to her every day and timed it so I would have the wedding in my favorite season
Stalker
I married Penny in Fall year 1.
I haven’t focused too much on people, but I give them gifts and stuff every so often and try not to miss any birthdays
I just focused on Penny really in terms of gift giving. Melons upon melons upon melons.
So this game really is that good, huh? I’m really thinking about getting it, based solely on people saying it’s good.
If you love AC, which I know you do, you’ll love this
Then I definitely will at some point. It’s $15 though and I’d rather spend that much on a physical copy. Any word on that?
It’s one of my favorite games. I gotta pick up the Switch version soon once all the bugs are fixed.
There is no word on it but it’s very possible
The creator said it’s being considered, but I wouldn’t expect it that soon if it does happen
I’ve been thinking about the art I’m goona do for the Halloween thing. I think I wanna do a cute costume party thing where the sun and moon characters are all wearing costumes and someone is taking is picture of all of them together
strength is a better move than slam right? in silver
Yeah, only 5 less PP is the only difference really.
ok thank you, slam never hits. i also have fury swipes (furret btw) i was thinking headbutt or strength but i think strength will be better overall. trying to catch furret up as per our conversation earlier today
Yeah Slam was never really worth it unless you couldn’t teach Strength. Fury Swipes is probably not great either with the lack of the Metronome. Headbutt has 10 less BP but can cause flinching. Iron Tail, Dig, maybe one of the Elemental Punches could be good. Also Quick Attack and Swift since that’s physical until gen 4.
i was thinking swift especially with the double team insanity. also i got rid of quick attack lol. and i was thinking of iron tail too but i will stay away from the low accuracy moves
Maybe try double team for it too.
ohh that could work. toxic isnt 100% accuracy so i think ill pass. Dig strength shadow ball and double team it is. thank you
Are you kidding me? How did I lose my entire binder…?
You probably left class and forgot to pick it up. I do that a lot :3
I swear I had it in my bag when school ended. I guess I’ll have to check Lost And Found tomorrow, as well as all my classes.
Ugh, just when I think I can’t do anything stupider, I always manage to prove myself wrong…
Mistakes don’t mean you’re stupid.
Yeah, but I mean, how do you lose an entire binder?
Distractions and forgetfulness?
Ok, I am easily distracted and very forgetful, but I’ve never done this.I’ve left homework behind, but never a binder
Accidents happen, just hope you can find it and then guard it with your life.
Hopefully no one steals it. Seriously, people steal a lot of stuff here, even gym clothes
I’ve left my backpack, textbook, etc. in places before. It happens. I lost my student ID the other day after using it for my laundry. I definitely remember putting it back in my pocket, so I have no idea how I lost it. It was in my dorm’s “office” the next day when I went to find it.
The point is, don’t beat yourself up about it.
Out of those, I’ve left my backpack on the bus once and I’m not sure about the textbooks. I guess that makes me feel a little better
thinking dig, shadow ball, strength, and maybe toxic for my furret. it can learn a lot of moves but since fire punch ice punch and thunder punch are all special ill pass on them
Shadow Claw
Not Shadow Ball
this is for silver lol
Oh..
i keep forgetting to get the exp share… oh well. does anyone know if a level 100 pokemon beats an opponent and another pokemon has exp share, does it get all the exp or still just half? i was thinking about sending one of my blue pokemon over
Probably still 50%.
I decided to ditch my platinum run. I’m so underleveled and I don’t like my team and I’m in Canalave so it’s too late to change it. Oh well.
dont give up. i had a team that i was very frustrated with. realized i only needed like 3 of my pokemon to beat e4 in silver. now im catching the bad ones up and its fun.
Nah I’m not having fun. Plus leveling up is so slow. I’d rather spend my time doing something I enjoy
I’ve played Platinum a billion times anyways
lol thats a lot
I think it’s closer to like 5?
i think ive only played twice. FE games on the other hand
oh and emerald. i played that too many times
What’s the team?
Floatzel
Infernape
Porygon-Z
Leafeon
Driflimb
One other I can’t remember
That’s a good team, are their natures just bad or something?
Well the real problems are Leafeon and Driflimb. They just aren’t fun to use
I guess they lack some of their better moves in gen 4.
Started up a Mystery Dungeon run about 30 minutes ago, and after the personality test I ended up with…
Psyduck. Not what I imagined at all being, but I’m eager to see how it works out for me.
And as a partner I chose Charmander (named him Cole), which should work out very well with Psyduck.
man playing silver, it makes me wonder why people dont like gen 2 very much. Just the idea that these games are so long is incredible. It really is an incredible achievement of Iwata to have been able to fit both regions.
Apart from the levelling issue I don’t understand either.
levelling as in how long it takes to gain a level?
Lack of opportunity to level up sufficiently. You end up spending ages grinding up levels or risk severe under-levelling. I actually don’t have much problem with it but can see why others do.
oh ok. yeah i can understand that but like you i dont have much problem with it myself. but i definitely understand the complaint there.
For me it lets me spend more time with my pokemon, feeling like I’m working hard to make them strong. I also don’t like being too high a level else it becomes too easy.
exactly. being under-leveled can be annoying but it does make the game more challenging and fun
Yeah… now they make it too easy to level.. but it’s a choice
I only use exp.share for ‘dex completion and other post-game stuff, same with Lucky Eggs and in ORAS Blissey Bases.
Tbh, going through Gold and Silver again, I didn’t find it too hard to level, and I didn’t even use the exp share. Sure there’s a lil grinding involved but personally thats cause I wanted my Pokemon all the same level (with my starter + 2 higher) and when I watched somethin on my laptop, it made it far less tedious
HGSS are just objectively better
I agree
They are better, but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate these games too, after all we wouldn’t have HGSS without GSC.
well of course, lol i dont see what this has to do with anything. HGSS are remakes.
The plot sucks, the new pokemon suck, the leveling sucks…still like my crystal version though
oh come on. nobody cared for pokemon plot till bw and bw2 then sun and moon were plot heavy.
Yeah but looking back they don’t hold up. Still fun of course, but other than for nostalgia the games really aren’t that great
?
I wanted double competitive z-moves..
I knew this was way more likely buh..
Alsooo
I’m not even competitive ?
I’m trying to use only Pokemon I’d already planned to catch for my teams or to box.
Can someone help me?
Singles:
Togetic (support: t-wave defog)
Mega Mewtwo Y
Blaziken (z move)
Serperior (attract contrary)
Ash-Greninja
Phermosa
Doubles:
Togetic
Arcanine
Snorlax
Talonflame (tailwind)
Alolan Raichu (z move)
Tapu Koko (electric terrain)
Triples:
Togetic
Butterfree (sleep)
Mega Mewtwo X
Gliscor
Mamoswine (Stones)
Talonflame
Singles I just went for strength I guess.. hmm
Doubles thought through a lil tho I have no idea..
Triple.. I know no one does it.. but I want to.. and have even less of an idea for how to
Double Z-moves would be too chaotic in competitive, just one can be vastly game changing.
Can you give me an example..
Assuming 1 Pokemon per z move
Cuz I don’t think both z eevee and the next Pokemon would likely be able too fully set up
I just can’t think of too many Pokemon that would prefer a z crystal over an item.. let alone 2 that would work on 1 team.. I’m sure people would find a way tho…
I just feel like it wouldn’t be something that the opponent couldn’t see coming a mile away.. due to lack of options..
Like Alolan Raichu and Tapu Koko same team… we know what’s next.
They aren’t easy to take down regardless tho, for some, who haven’t planned specifically for it I guess
I mean I haven’t gone over every combination but anything that can use a z-setup move then pass it or utilise the boosts for another z attack or set-up is gonna be annoying to fight. Porygon-Z being able to boost twice limits phasing for example, since you’d know after one thing phases you to then take it down with something else then come back and set-up again.
True.. I just don’t think it would be as easy as people say it will be.. nor likely as hard as I think.
But either way yeah.. 99% chance now this is like dodging and Amie :/
I read on YouTube.. some people think the reason that the lengthy, take you to another dimension z move, was necessary because Necrozma wants to protect the planet..
Does it?
If so.. kinda cool explanation..
Cuz.. I was wondering *___*
Those z moves belong to solgaleo and lunala, which of course want to protect the planet. The fact that Necrozma can use those moves does not mean for sure that it is a hero…
I thought it was because it was stronger there.
Meh.. that’s a boring explanation. I thought of that too.. but it’s overkill. Too forced .. too show offy to me
Well I don’t know why it would want to protect the earth unless something more sinister is at play somewhere.
I figured this explanation came from the game… :////
Like it loves the loaner or something.. no?
Guess GF just loves long cut scenes
Not sure what you mean, it is said to devour light and be in pain.
Yeah I never finished the game ?
That’s what I get for trusting the ppl of YouTube -_-
if it wanted to protect the earth ot could have started from not absorbing solgaleo/lunala. I think GF has found another silly explanation for Necrozma to not be an evil pokemon but I don’t think the “savior of the earth” is that explation…
You know, watching the 1st opening for the BW anime made me think:Maybe I should go back to the anime to see what I really feel about it. I mean, Ash was really idiotic and so were his strategies, but I’ve been able to find enjoyment in bad things before (mainly because they’re laughably bad)
Does no one here have anything to say?
It’s still bad, there are good moments, the Pokemon are good (even though I’d prefer they were given a better series to shine in), Cilan is horribly annoying, possibly less annoying than Sophocles is now. Idk maybe it’s better in Japanese.
Eh, I liked Cilan. I guess him being multi-purpose “connoisseur” was annoying
I think his voice and attitude annoyed me. Also I’m not a fan of the pink sclera look.
Do you mean blue sclera? Also, I personally like his voice. The one thing that probably annoyed me was his catchphrase “It’s evaluation time”
The white parts of his eyes match his skin.
I so wish Cilan would have gotten Simisage or told us why he despises Purrloin (hinted many times, but never actually spilled it)
Every time he said “recipe” I wanted to punch him.
Still wish would have caught Rufflet, Purrloin and Cubchoo
Let’s admit it Cubchoo and Rufflet were perfect for Ash and Purrloin would give Ash way more balance in kinds of Pokémon
He could have had alot of better things and evolved more. Both Cilan and Iris could’ve done so too.
Iris should have got the damn Deino from the daycare (to this day enrages me entirely)
At least she got a Dragonite. Then again, it kinda came outta nowhere
I enjoyed Dragonite, but I wish that Deino would have joined her
So many missed opportunities: Ash with the missing Cubchoo, Cilan with the Royal Unova Purrloin, The slow Caterpie for Ash (pissed they put Nostalgia, then just punched me right back with bs), Phantump for Ash
I feel another missed opportunity was not giving Ash a Lucario, or at least a Riolu. It’s been stated that Ash can harness and manifest aura, so I feel it’d be right to give him one. It’s still entirely possible, but due to the more comedic approach Sun and Moon is taking, I doubt they’ll bring up aura this anime
I think they didn’t want a Pokemon with deeper connection than pikachu with ash.. so I understand.
Then greninja came along lol…
But rioulu is way past it’s prime..
Don’t hold your breath
Oh yeah, there’s also that whole bond phenomenon thing with Ash and Greninja. Like, why Greninja? I get that it’s been around with Ash since the beginning of his Kalos journey, but Pikachu’s been around since Ash started his Kanto journey. Ash-Greninja looks cool and all, but it’s been bothering me for the longest time
It’s supposedly more to do with it being in greninja himself I guess. Not all Pokemon capable of it. Unfortunately..
I before I understood it had made an XY fanfic and I had a Bond phenomenon with my Chespin to stop Team flare
My team during it was: Chespin, Snorelax (rare encounter in the Forest), Dedenne (caught it while it was stealing my food), Noivern (caught it after nurturing it back to health), Avalugg (given by a breeder after helping him save his eggs) and a Zygarde Core which did leave me after beating Team flare
Funny thing is: I might so the same thing with the character I made and his Lucario. It basically involves them being pushed to their limit after being beaten down by a powerful foe. With the others (There are 4 other people travelling with him) cheering him on, and his boundless determination to win, he unlocks something inside of him and Lucario, and unleashes that with a transformation:Showing their bond is higher than ever. With the bind phenomenon, it also puts my character in his aura form (Idk what else to call it, it basically allows him to weaponize his aura, as well as turning his hair blue and eyes red) when the bond form is activated, so yeah. That’s about it, and yeah, it’s a mouthful.
Not evolving snivy was a huge mistake..
And iris barely trained her poor little dragon which clearly dreamed it wanted to fully evolve.
The entire series was a mistake.. wasted region.. new York.. and pokes now u think about it. And they knew in xY
They worsened XY
Gave only 5 Pokémon and 3 of which were Flying
At least XY fixed most of the issues with BW
They at least evolved and had better arcs for each.
No.. I didn’t mind that.. plus many of his Pokemon are 4 foot this gen.. well 2.. so far
Either way they all had different weaknesses
Balanced team
That’s a personal issue
I was just waiting for a grass type or mega sceptile brought back..
Goodra, another dragon, on the league team was the problem.
Goodra could be consider amongst his strongest Pokémon
It lost twice and once really shouldn’t count as one was Alain’s Bisharp and the other was to Lysander’s M-Gyarados after it was suffering during it and the other Pokémon’s imprisonment
I know… buut.. too much dragon!
I think anything more than 3 Pokemon weak to same typing is an imbalance..
Could use in future for SM league maybe.. not then :/
They wanted to make Axew like Dawns’ Piplup, it should have been like Mays’ Torchic instead.
Yaaaaas
It was cute but Not THAT cute..
That thing clearly has power..
It’s a freaking dragon
Ironically A few knew four moves in total, but half of its moves were used once… being Outrage v.s. the film makers Golett and Giga F*cking Impact v.s. Cynthia’s Garchomp
Wow
Purloin rly doesn’t fit ash tho
I think he meant Purrloin for Cilan
Nah I actually meant Ash. But that would also have worked
Purrloin should have had more grip in the show
I could c it with cilan… way more than the crab or stunfisk…. off choices :/
They counter and resist his grass… so balance.. but still :/
I think you should he’s got an idiotic, but still headstrong attitude
Honestly, the best part of the anime is when he only brought one Pokemon to the Gym Battle with Elise.That was just golden
Or the Burb Jesus armor in Gen.3
Oh crap, I forgot about that.
It’s known by Poketubers as the biggest BS in Pokémon
Oh and Stephans Zebstrika set “variety of moves” (4 F*cking Normal moves!!!!!!)
There’s also Tobias. Christ, that was such an asspull
I’m a just a guy with a Darkrai
“How did no one gain word of him till the League”
Not to mention he also had a Latios. And it almost Ash’s entire team to take just Darkrai down. A.Where did you get those Legendaries? And B.What the hell did you do to make them that strong?
A. Hackzz
B. I assume he did one thing… Hackzzzzzz
He’s not a character, he’s a plot device. A plot device to make Ash lose the League to extend his journey even further
Ash winning one League wouldn’t end his journey. He won’t stop until he thinks he’s true Pokemon Master which could still take as long as they want, especially as they reset him each gen.
And C. Why in the hell would you allow someone with LEGENDARIES in a league where practically everyone else has normal Pokémon. Like I get the league is open to anyone strong in battle, but still legendaries should’ve been banned.
What?
When Pikachu shot a Thunder in sky while riding Swellow. And when it hit them, instead of fainting them, it turned them golden, increasing their power
Oh yeah, I don’t understand how that worked but OK anime people.
Liza and Tates battle
Pikachu atop Swellow used Thunder which struck them and instead of fainting they both turned gold got increased power and all their attacks turned into electric type moves
Obviously foreshadowing Galvanize… but no that was dumb.
Just stick to SM

And to those asking what’s on the middle it is fact an actual cherry bomb, like an actual firecracker
Ooo spicy
Who doesn’t like eating explosives
What et taste lyke *__*
Cherry and death.
Did any of you honestly think I’d get a normal cake for my annual spawning date?
Spawning?
Creating more of u? ??
Don’t worry, if by some quantum hiccup the universe spawns another Earthen we’d probably start headbutting eachother for dominance
To the death…
One rip.. other perpetual comma
Or the time space duplicate paradox
I personally believe that no exact two objects can exist in the same time at any time
Every object has some kinda universal code and the addition of that same exact unique number throws the whole balance out of whack
** ______**
I thought it would be Hammer Shaped tbh.
No but that would be cool
The only noteworthy cakes I got was this one that was made to look like a Question Mark block oh and Mike from monsters inc
Mike *,*
Suuuper creamy with the delightful aroma of blasting powder
Now I want drive thru cake… where sells drive thru cake * _*
Carvel?
?????
I’m in CA lol
You must have an explosive taste in food
Yay!!! Only 34 encounters and this baby showed up! Railgun is beautiful https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0516c4ce82e478b03ef62964e1e03c04b73aa02c50235dd58a29dc364f092766.jpg
Awesome! I’ve wanted to hunt one for some time now
I’ve tried on a couple of other occasions and never really got very far due to losing interest. This time I was totally down to go all the way, but I guess it was going easy on me haha
Yeah I changed again… I have no self control
Eyy welcome to the Spooky Scary club
Wait who are yee? And yeah we must all be spooky scary skeletons
Just a Pokejungler who had a pretty Golden name
Flygon! Yay!
Yeet
I took your advice, Star, and did some rough sketches of my idea. It turned out pretty nicely too. Now just to do some more finalizing and then actually start on a final drawing! 😛
Yaaay!!! I’m really excited to see the final product
Can someone help a deer get a shiny alolan grimer?
It just won’t show up, no matter what…
So i’ve noticed in the latest episode that there’s a rivalry developing between Ash’s Litten and Lycanroc. Hope they explore this further and hopefully evolve Litten to make them at least equals
We may be few eps away from the evolution!
I legit got so lucky – and this has never happened to me ever in Pokemon I don’t think.
I was just playing Silver and I was on route 14, cut to access the girl who wants to trade a chantey for Aero (cause I couldn’t remember if there were any items) – went into the grass and it was a Chansey.
1% encounter was my first encounter. Even caught it in a Pokeball which is what I want to do for all the Pokemon in Silver
*beep* the Aero, Chansey and you were meant to be together.
I’ll just breed the Chansey with a Ditto and trade that hatched Chansey.
Just got v v lucky I suppose – and its holding an item which must be a Lucky Egg which has an 8% chance of Chansey holding it
