New Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Trailer Shows off New Rotom Dex Features

by

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

  1. For those who are curious
    Since USUM has that much space….
    Maybe they removed some overworld models that wouldn’t ever end up being used from the games coding

  2. Ok panic panicking panicking my IPad mini which is my single most important thing in my life is having weird battery spikes, it randomly drops like 15% or more even at full charge and hav brightness, I’m freaking out, I use this thing literally all the time and I cannot bear the thought of it dying on me, I already hard reset it to stop the problem but it still randomly happens

  6. Did anyone read that NeoGAF thread yesterday where someone claimed Russia was behind the Sun and Moon leaks during Presidential Elections to influence voters by distracting them with Pokémon news and causing Trump to win the elections.

    Don’t be this crazy, people.

  8. I want them to make another pokemon region where we can only use new pokemon. That’s part of what made black and white unique. You’re dropped into this new region that you know nothing about surrounded by pokemon you know nothing about. It makes Unova really stand out amongst all the others. Take Johto for example: you’re surrounded by so many Kanto pokemon that it’s frustrating at times because you want to use the new pokemon but can’t because some are locked until post game or have really low spawn rates (a problem we also see in Alola). That or you’re fighting another million ratatas and zubats. In my opinion, that diminishes Johto from standing out as a truly great region. Luckily Gen 4 gave it a bit more personality, but it’s still just kind of Kanto’s brother region, failing to carve a name for itself like Hoenn, which was much different than anything we’d seen, or Unova, which feels isolated, but still pokemon.

      • Because the majority of people haven’t used every old Pokémon and using old Pokémon allows more variety? Imo BW2 had the best variety

        Reply

        • Yeah I mean i like variety as well, but the thing with b2w2’s dex is that the unova pokemon still outnumbered the old, which is no longer the case and I feel like some of the new ones are getting lost.

      • Exactly. And it makes me mad because my friend like always puts freakin growlithe on her team and Im just like “try out new Pokémon!!!”

        • Okay I agree
          But I have an OBSESSION with Flygon and Amphy and I’ve done it a bunch of times soo…
          I Mean I stopped but the damage already

          Reply

    • Idk, whilst I liked Gen V it itself also felt samey seeing as every single gym pretty much had to repeat the same evolution families over and over and it’s near impossible to do a mono unless it’s Dark-type or one of the other common Unova types.

  9. You know what I miss? The days when GL/E4/Champion mains were rare. Idk I know it’s so small but it made their mains feel stronger and made them feel more like bosses

    Like jfc there’s a trainer before Korrina who has a better Hawlucha than her

  13. Finally bet Red on Silver!

    Team

    Sobek the Feraligatr
    Gia the Golem
    Mina the Crobat
    Guillotin the Pinsir
    Apollo the Sunflora
    Juno the Miltank

    They were all good but the MVP was Gia for sure!

  14. Messy diagram, but I’m away to replay Platinum and here’s the Pokémon I want to use but can’t decide on! ;-;

    Scored in black is non negotiable

    Scored in red is negotiable, but very unlikely due to not liking their Gen IV movepools/accessibility or I’ve used them before

    Nothing under or over them means I’ve used them before, but either wouldn’t mind reusing them or I haven’t used them in Sinnoh specifically

    Green underline means I’ve never used them on any team, at least teams I can remember

    Pls help https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/78bbb927ca8ba8e72708ac7cb65a27c351825988f44cc79ea954a34d07ac0b63.png

  16. Well I’m on the verge of a panic attack
    My iPad’s still doing weird battery things, it says it’s 100% then dropping to 80
    And sometimes when it’s down to 25 and below and plug it in it says 50% MAKE UP YOUR MIND

    And work is going to get extremely bad since an outside boss or someone is going to completly revamp my recovery station and move it to the back where all the clutter is, months of freaking having a solid system completely ruined in less than a day!!!!

  19. Just about to go to seafloor cavern to beat up those Team Aqua Scallywags (and see hot Shelly) and a shiny Tentacool shows up, good job I had one Dive Ball left.

  21. ……I literally see my battery life tick away a percent every couple of minutes
    And the brightness is at half…. It was 96% like ten minutes ago and now it’s 89%
    I DONT WANNA LOSE MY IPAD I NEED IT TO LIIIIIVE

  22. Can we please resume all the things we have yet to discover? I remember these:

    – Star shaped pokemon on the box arts
    – Two hidden sections on the japanese website.
    – Three (?) question marks on those toys products (don’t remember the name).
    – Now, apparently a new question mark on poster production…

    Something missing?

    Reply

    • Star shaped Pokémon is strongly alluded to being-by a phrase on the Pokémon USUM official site describing that there is still some more power of Necrozma not revealed yet-to be a form of Necrozma. It might as well be Mega Necrozma for all we know. In my opinion, the two hidden sections could be anyone of three things: festival plaza, battle facility, and new Alola forms that they have kept under wraps. I am not sure if the question marks have been revealed yet, you might want to check Paul Ryan’s twitter feed. The new poster is obviously going to be an 18+ picture of Professor Kukui for the adult customers of Pokémon.

      Reply

    • Also for what is missing. I would say that we are missing a good amount of Kukui promotion for this game’s preseason information cycle.

  23. My likes and dislikes about this:

    Like
    – Doing more with the RotomDex. RotoLoto looks like O-Powers sorta coming back
    – The extra Z-move looks totally optional

    Dislike
    – How bout those 30 SECOND Z-move animations? RIP Gigalith and Mimikyu.

  24. Okay, who was playing the Yo-kai Watch games? I know one of you guys were.

    I just got the first one, and I’m about to start playing it. I’ve seen the first season of the anime and I loved Komasan.

    Also is Psychic Specters the same as Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls?

  25. That’s it I’m DONE! Tried and succeeded in getting Silver, but just as its downloading my DS decides to go crazy with the battery (AGAIN) and it died (with 3 bars of battery left) and then started playing the game after turning it back on. And in 10 mins. Dies again

    I’m buying the special screwdriver and battery set for the game to fix this inconceivable problem

    Oh and for those who said no tax on Silver, I have proof
