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

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. Rotomdex could also do with a real time clock and an egg checker screen so I don’t have to keep checking how many eggs I have left to hatch, I used the super training screen primarily for this in gen 6.

          • There are also:
            Resistox Poison/Rock
            Kinda a Rhyhorn people use to travel in areas full of radiation
            Slavian Toxicroak Poison/Psychic

            Baneon Poison
            Venomous Eeveelution

        • I tend to like Ghosts that are either cute or extremely unique cute: Marshadow, Mimikyu, Sableye
          Unique: Dhelmise, Spiritomb
          Decidueye is an exception as he’s just flat out cool and I love him

          Bugs: especially arachnids and things with wings. Beetles and moths are among my faves but a locust is basically fanbait for me

          Water types that are based off things that aren’t fish but live in the ocean

          And dragons that are cute or not just generic tough

          • Ok:

            Vimpere Fire/Ghost
            Snake Vampire starter, Idk if it’s that unique
            Thundrogi Electric/Bug
            Grub/Beetle that glows, restores energy by eating Pierogi
            Swimaster Water
            Powerful Seal Warrior
            Podlbug Bug/Dark
            Evil Black Ladybug, uses vibration to attack
            Artialize Ghost/Normal
            Artsy Ghost, used its art to materialize itself
            Seekfowl Ghost/Flying
            Peacock/Peafowl, dead people use feathers on its tail as eyes to seek into the world of the living

          • Hmmmmm
            I feel like Artialize, Swimaster,and Thundrogi are definitely no
            I like the other three, especially the last one

          • Then What about:
            Honeyctar Bug/Flying
            Honey maker Bee
            Honeyctor Bug/Fighting
            Bee Warrior that protects the Beehive (A split evolution)
            Decapitis (not decided of it’s Bug/Ghost or Grass/Ghost)
            A male Mantis that Evolves after a female cuts its head off after mating
            Shrimpight Water/Fighting
            A Powerful Mantis Shrimp, becomes a Water/Fairy type for one turn after using its Signature move

  4. Rank 14 now in Arms, wooooo! I feel like I could manage Rank 15 or higher sometime soon. My Byte and Barq game is getting pretty decent, and the Cracker + Slapamander combo is definitely my main. It’s so weird, it’s like I got more Arms talent out of nowhere, I used to be stuck on 10 for the longest time.

  5. OPINION:
    How does this sound
    Would you rather have
    A. A water recover
    B. A water entry “hazard” that goes on the user’s team side and acts as a healing stealth rock

    Instead of starting Yo-Kai Watch, I’m trying to finish Sun this weekend. Here is my current team, and it’s as much of a train wreck as it looks. No water moves, no grass moves, no flying or bug moves (can be fixed with TMs), one fire move (Lycanroc), no steel moves, only poison move is Toxic, no fairy moves yet… Why can’t Vulpix learn ANYTHING? I’ll have to evolve her.

    The Lycanroc is shiny, and the only male on the team is the Persian. My Hakamo-o is from the GTS or somewhere.

    This team is like, hilariously weak. I was running around without my Lycanroc and a Ribombee ’bout took us out.

    I’ve got to check their Hidden Powers or something cuz it’s getting ridiculous.

      • I bred her myself. “Loba” knows Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Sucker Punch, and Rock Slide. If she had her HA, I would’ve evolved her into Midnight form with No Guard.

      • That would be the smart thing. I’ve never used Passimian before, and I chose Popplio this time around… but I’m confident we can do it! With the right moves and excessive level-grinding!
