DISCLAIMER: Rumors are not confirmed information, should not be thought of to be confirmed information and should not be shared as confirmed information. These are for discussion purposes.
With less than four weeks until the official release of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the rumor mill has been cranking out some interesting information as of late. While I don’t normally cover rumors that appear on 4chan because of the inability to verify anything about them, today’s bit of hearsay is allegedly (that means NOT CONFIRMED, as with everything in a RUMOR post) from the Chinese Riddler who leaked quite a bit of accurate—if not obtuse—information about Pokémon Sun & Moon.
You may have noticed that the ‘Riddler’ has been mostly inactive, but they have apparently been warned by company officials not to disclose information and have only revealed things via personal accounts to close friends.
There’s no way to verify that these conclusively came from them because they were, apparently, quickly deleted, but Chinese social media has been buzzing about the English translation that was posted on 4chan.
- A “returning” Team will take over the Aether Paradise and steal Lillie’s Cosmog/Cosmoem
- In order to secure the building more executives and team members will be brought in (possibly from another dimension) as you progress
- Molayne, a former Trial Captain and engineer of Alola’s PC network, will join the Elite 4
- A new building similar to the past Battle Frontier will be available and will incorporate renting you friends’ teams, possibly similar to current QR system
- Generation I Grass/Poison-type Pokémon will get a new Alolan Form; this is suspected to be Oddish
You can watch PokéSirena’s video on YouTube and listen to her thoughts as well (thanks for the tip!). She has been working with us to cover and translate Chinese leaks for over a year now.
Take these with a massive spoonful of salt and discuss responsibly! Thoughts?!
Why is Mimikyu such a perfect pokemon???
I forget how much I love the thing sometimes
But u know this thing is not cute right?
It looks pretty cute
It looks but it’s not ………..did u watch the anime? it looks like coming from horror movie
I think it’s just vengeful versus Pikachu. It seems more awesome there
I didn’t say it’s not awesome ……..creep is the real awesomeness for me
Same and then I remember and I’m like <3 <3 <3
I think it’s a fantastic Pokémon
-Great competitive team member
-Good, unique, cute design
-A neat backstory
-Unique and interesting type (I’m still wondering what exactly makes it a fairy)
It is one of my most favored Ghost and fairy types (sorry Gengar and Shiinotic take first)
Very nice analysis of why it’s so great 🙂
Dunno but I’ll be breeding a Shiny for my USUM team hopefully https://orig00.deviantart.net/996b/f/2017/059/3/f/memekyu_by_boystears-db0qu94.png

A pretty good shiny. I believe I have a foreign one so I may try and MM for one someday
Wow I just love my new Showdown team
I play OU with Mantine, Torkoal, Tropius, Gengar, Venomoth and Weavile
Most people start to win, but not by much and just give up because no one wants to say in OU “Well I just lost to a Mantine”
They all work in a well unison fashion and can take down quite a few Pokémon teams
Oh right there moves (not in front of my computer so can’t give y’all natures IV’s and the works)
Tropius
Ability: Chlophyl
Item: Sitrus Berry
Moves: Energy Ball, Defog, Solar Beam and Rest
Torkoal
Ability: Drought
Item: Leftovers
Moves: Flamethrower, Stealth Rock, Rapid Spin and Clear Smog (literally clear smog is super OP facing Bulk up Talonflame’s and Shuckle in general)
Mantine
Ability: Cannot recall
Item: Flynium Z
Moves: Scald, Tailwind, Air Slash, Ice Beam
Venomoth
Ability: Sheild Dust
Item: Focus Sash
Moves: Psychic, Roost, Bug Buzz and Disable (Disable comes in handy quite a bit actually)
Weavile
Ability: Pressure
Item: Focus Sash
Moves: Fake Out, Ice Shard, Knock Off and Poison Jab
Gengar
Ability: Cursed Body (primarily worthless tbh)
Item: Sitrus berry? Can’t remember
Moves: Shadow Ball, Destiny Bond, Dazzling Gleam and Dark Pulse
So thoughts?
But honestly how many of you would be pissed to be losing or struggling to a team like this?
Megaman-tine http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/811/216/4ce.png

@TheLastKurusu:disqus Do you have access now?
Yes I do thanks
Have you finished reading yet? I’m curious to see what you think
Oh I finished a few mins ago
I thought it was really cool! If I remember correctly is this the prologue to the one where the two fight a Swampert to save Sylveon?
This is an alternate take on that story, instead of two humans with both of their memories still fully intact, it’s just one who can barely remember anything about himself. I’m not really sure whether I’ll include that battle or replace it with something else. Also, it was Azumarril instead of Sylveon. Sylveon was the nurse of the guild
Wow, I’ve just seen Sub Zero without mask, such a daddy! I mean his hairy muscular chest, tremendous biceps and perfect beard… He can fatality my clam any day.
Who da hell is dat
You clearly don’t play Mortal Kombat lol
NOPE
They’re great. I highly recommend.
Simmer down, Harriet Hormones.
Which Sub Zero? Lol The original or his brother? Or how about Android Sub Zero? Haha
IDK, the one from Mortal Kombat X. I can’t contain myself. I’m so sorry. He’s so hot for a video game character.
Ah so the brother. Well either way he’s the only important Sub Zero haha You enjoying MKX? Both 9 and X were gems. Loved them so much. Can’t wait for 11!

Alolan Bellsprout makes more sense since it has only one evolutionary line or even an Alolan Victribell as they did to exeggcute changing only it’s final form
So if the Oddish line gets alolan forms, do you think it will include bellossom getting one as well? I think they should atleast give it dancer as a hidden ability. I think Alolan Oddish could be Grass/Fire, Grass/Rock, or Grass/Ground. Grass/Rock and Grass/Ground could be good types to represent the fact that it’s environment has completely changed. For some reason I think gamefreak is going to make it Grass/Fairy or Grass/Dark.Then again it’s just a rumor and should be taken with a grain of salt. I just want good move tutors. I also want some more Pokemon to get Wide guard and Quickguard.
this might be a longshot but i’m hoping the grass/poison type in question is Bulbasaur, and then by extension we get Alolan forms for Charmander and Squirtle too. something like that would certainly justify this long of a wait before the reveal…
Oddish getting Alolan forme would too good to be true though. So that means Alolan Vileplume and Alolan Bellosoom wow. Would be surprised if its Bellsprout line instead.
Bellsprout line was Grass/Poison too. Everyone seems to be forgetting this… They fit the tropical theme at a lot better and have more room to be redesigned, considering that Oddish already got a split evo in Gen II and that same evo already looks like it belongs in Hawaii. I think it would just make way more sense to focus on Bellsprout, Weepinbel, and Victreebel.
To add more to my thoughts, some people noticed that the Kanto Pokemon that received Alolan forms had interesting former Pokedex entries that their Alolan forms called back to (Exeggutor being taller with more sunlight and Marowak howling for its dead mother come to mind). The Oddish line doesn’t say anything remarkable, but Victreebel’s entry in Red specifically says it grows in massive colonies deep in remote jungles. Nothing too out of the ordinary, you may say, but it does give GF something to call back to if they were making an Alolan Bellsprout line.
