RUMOR: More Alolan Forms from Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon

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.

We shared a rumor with you that Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon may be getting additional Alolan Forms of older Pokémon in a previous post, but now we’re going to share a little bit more. Please be aware that some may find this a form of spoiler so you are advised not to read further, even though we are posting this as an unsubstantiated rumor totally outside the scope of official information.

The reason that we are posting this to append the previous rumor is because of the confirmation we got about Rainbow Rocket’s takeover of Aether Paradise (which could be seen on the Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon download card). A Chinese fan sent us some of this information which also seemed to line up with other things we had heard from separate sources.

  • Alolan Oddish, Alolan Gloom and Alolan Vileplume will all have Poison/Fairy-typing
  • Alolan Parasect will be Bug/Ghost (the rumor did not mention Paras so I will not infer anything there)

I am taking this with as much salt as you should, but I’m definitely hopeful because there seems to be a lot of potential for all the Pokémon named in the rumor and it would be great to see these unique typings as well (Shedinja aside)!

  1. Honestly? Bug/Ghost Parasect makes a LOT of sense. It’s already a walking talking zombie being eaten away by the mushroom on it’s back. It’s basically dead anyway. I buy as possible. that said the two typing for the Oddish line and Parasect are predictable. I’d like to see something crazy like Alolan Marowak. I’m sure there’ll still be surprises tho. I think next week’s trailer will be our first taste of the new Alolan forms. It’s likely gonna be a big trailer given how they’re giving us a heads up so why not show us something we thought wasn’t gonna happen? lol Anyway I think next trailer we’ll get a lot of confirmation for a few of the rumors and leaks we have so far. Maybe even have some rumors drop out of the race altogether.

  2. Really hope this is true. Really want more alolan forms. Just hope some Pokémon besides just gen one get some if it’s true

  3. lol No. Anyways nice to hear news is confirmed for the 2nd. We didn’t get a trailer this week though like I had anticipated so it will probably just be then instead but eh that is fine.

    • What makes you “lol no” it? It’s not like this is a crazy out there rumor that couldn’t possibly happen. Plus given how a few of the rumors that are steadily gaining credibility say there are Alolan forms I don’t see what the problem is.

      Reply
        • Not if there are only a few of them this time around. It’s still likely that we’ll get at least one more new UB plus we still have the light form of Necrozma too. There’s still plenty of things they need to show off and could have shown off earlier, but didn’t. I’m not sure the “they would have shown them already” argument is a good one. They can show things off in any fashion they want really. Whether how they show the new stuff is well done is another issue.

          Reply
          • There are no more UB either and light form as you are calling will likely not be talked about and saved for players to discover ourselves. But whatever believe what you want I would gladly be wrong.

          • How can you say with 100% certainty that there are no more new UBs? Why would they only create 3 new ones and show them all off before release? That makes no sense given how even with when they reveal a large majority of brand new Pokemon they still keep a few hidden for people to discover. I’m not saying 100% that there will be new UBs or new Alolan forms, but talking as if you have the game already seems a bit close minded……..but like you said we can believe what we want. Agree to disagree I suppose.

          • maybe the same way ORAS showed… EVERY SINGLE FREAKING NEW MEGA… Gosh was that a massive disappointment. Not agreeing with, just saying.

          • There is actually an interview on YouTube that says there are more new Pokémon to be shown that they can’t talk about right now. From the context it is implied that it could be more UB.

  4. I’m siding with Pokejungle in his sugesstion to take this with as much salt as possible. I am very happy about these rumors, but there is one thing that I do dislike. That the Alola Oddish line is supposed to be Poison/Fairy. Don’t get me wrong I love the type combination. My issue-and this has been on my mind for a while especially for this generation with all of the new typing combinations-we are reaching a point where we all type combinations will have at least one Pokémon; meaning there won’t be any more new typing combinations. I am really interested in how everyone else feels about this. Please reply if you have any thoughts.

  5. OKAYOKAYOKAY FUCC MY ABSENCE BUT MY LEAST FAVORITE BUG IS POSSIBLY GETTING MY FAVORITE TYPE IN THE ENTIRE GAME I WILL ADORE THIS THING IF IT GETS IT AND INSTANTLY PUT IT ON MY TEAM HOLY F**KING SHITT

  6. So my UM team is confirmed to have:
    Decidueye
    Lycanroc Dusk
    Alolan Persian
    Inky the Shiny Mimikyu (that I just bred)
    Maybe Kommo-o

    Reply
        • No it’s the same for me. I want to plan my team as well, but I have gone through so many revisions already and the fact that new Alola forms are not set in stone (eh I am keeping my comment relevant to the article) is what is preventing me from doing so.

          Reply
    • So if UB-Adhesive is available early on in-game then it’s on my team. Otherwise:
      Primarina
      Lycanroc Dusk
      Alolan-Oddish
      UB-Adhesive
      Alolan-Parasect
      Golisopod
      Alolan-marowak
      Mimikyu
      Volcarona
      Lopunny

      Basically a combination of these that doesn’t repeat type.

      Reply
  7. Fun fact:
    There are two kinds of Radioactive Alligators both of which humans created. That is both horryfying and an amazing idea for a Poison type Pokemon.

    Reply
  8. Alolan Oddish just might make it onto my team and maybe even Alolan Parasect! I hope we get more than this but if we dont than for once in my life ill be using an Oddish in one game and a Parasect in another. I feel like Poison/Fairy might be a stretch for a typing though. Maybe they’ll have it by the garbage place on the second? island

    Reply
    • I think that I agree with you on using Alola Oddish if it is Poison/Fairy. I’m not sure about it being available early on since we are confirmed to have a formal trail for Mina. There aren’t really any Fairy types on Poni Islanf aside from Granbull so they might just add the Alola Oddish line to Poni Island.

      If I do use it my team might look like

      Decidueye
      Komala
      Alola Oddish
      Bruxish
      Lycanroc Dusk
      ???

      Reply
      • I think the Alolan forms were basically made for Kanto pokemon that no longer have a chance at being used competitively since there are now pokemon that do what they used to do but better. Oddish/Paras always seemed mad basic to me so now with the possibility of them getting new and interesting typings I’m intrigued to use them

        Reply
  9. First, I think these types aren’t real. I think people are just listening to whatever they see goes with the previous rumors. So I highly doubt this.
    Second, If they do bring back alola forms, I really hope, but strongly doubt, they will add more than just 2 different lines. What if they use both Bellsprout and Oddish line and make it version exclusive. Also does it HAVE to be Kanto mons? That’s just annoying. GF is not good at diversity.

  10. Bah these cant be real, I mean Oddish just won’t stop being a plant, and because Gloom has a branched evolution that skips a gen that is clear indication that it won’t have an alolan form

    And I’m really hitting Odyssey hard today I have 40 moons in Desert kingdom

  11. Things that are still in mystery:

    – Star shaped pokemon on the box arts.
    – Mimikyu and Togedemaru speculated z moves.
    – Rainbow Rocket plot.
    – Festival Plaza battle facility.
    – Fire trial update (today a new picture of the trial has been posted on the official site: nothing changed with A marowak stupid game apparently).
    – Fairy Trial.
    – Gym simulation (?) in Malie.
    – Different plot (we know that Lilie escaping from AP and Nebby on the bridge with koko will happen again so at least the first part looks the same even if URS is replacing AF in the intro).
    – Legends found in Ultra Space. How and how many?
    – Is it possible to ride Solgaleo in UM and Lunala in US as we saw on the download cards?
    – New UBs, possible.
    – New Alola Forms, always less possible but still not impossible.

  12. This is interesting… I think I would love a Poison/Fairy and Finally Shedinja will not be the only one with such an interesting type

    Reply
  13. I need both these regional variants in my life. Poison/Fairy is a new dual type and even though i like Shedinja, i dont like using it in playthroughs so hopefully this rumour is true about both Parasect and Oddish line.

    Reply
      • Eh it can only be killed by supereffective moves, so that gives it an advantage in certain battles. I’ve never seen people use it in competitive battles though, its probably viable enough for a regular playthrough but i just never really gave it a chance

        Reply
          • It has a decent movepool with access to Shadow Sneak, Shadow Ball, Phantom Force and Heal Block through level up and TMs like Substitute (which wont kill it because its not SE despite Shedinja having only 1 HP)

      • It’s great for catching certain ORAS legendaries.

        A Shedinja that knows False Swipe

        Good for the Lake Trio, Cresselia, Suicune, Kyurem, Zekrom, Virizion, Cobalion, Dialga, Palkia, Lati@s (with Eon Ticket event), Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Deoxys.

        Have a strong Pokemon False Swipe them to 1 HP and then let Shedinja float there while you throw Pokeballs or get him to smack the target as needed with False Swipe.

  14. Apparently in the media there is outrage on a new game called Draconis Go
    https://www.google.com/search?q=draconius+go&safe=strict&client=ms-android-verizon&prmd=nsiv&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj53uj3zpHXAhVC7IMKHVwgBYYQ_AUIDigA&biw=360&bih=560&dpr=4

    They claim they aren’t ripping off Pokémon, but looking at some of the parts of it. It uses very similar backgrounds, uses the same gym system, Has the same looks during battle (has the same setup as Go where you can only fight in Gyms) and a very similar method of how to catch Dragons as to Pokémon

    Idk do you think it’s a knock off or do you think it’s a unique, original idea?

  15. Would it be weird if my Normal/Ground Hatchick fakemon evolved into either into male Psychic/Ground Roosken or female Fairy/Normal Chichen?

    Reply
      • Yeah, That’d make more sense, but it doesn’t fit the mon that much. I would make it Fairy/Ground, but I already got one Fairy/Ground mon so I don’t know

        Reply
        • It’s quite alright imo to add multiple of a new type. As long you don’t have like a 5th of your dex already being Ground, then Fairy/Ground could work

          And why wouldn’t it fit for the Female to switch from Fairy/Normal to Normal/Fairy? The male is fine as is on the other hand

          Reply
          • It’s just a special dynamic between the two mons, Fairy and Psychic. But maybe I’ll make it Normal/Fairy…

  16. I’ll be super cheesed off if Alola Vileplume becomes a thing but Bellasom gets nothing. That’d be dumb and there’d be even less reason to use it.

    Intriguing if Alolan parasect was a thing, what, did it just die after the infestation of the shrooms? That’s dark.
    :’P

  17. So I think I decided:
    I’ll have two Fairy/Ground fakemon in my region. One is a Hen and the second one is based on the kids story of Sandman.

  18. If the rumors are true then……

    1. The Vileplume family lost their Grass typing weird, but at least we get a shiny new/unused type combo 🙂

    2. Hopefully Alolan Parasect is better than Shedinja, although the bar is set low for that one

  20. Hey guys I need a tad bit of help

    I want to have a good typing for my Raccoon starter, it’s already Grass, but I wonder what to use

    Most likely types I can think for it are: Dark, Psychic, Ghost, or just Pure Grass

    I can make names and stuff though, but your welcome to give suggestions

    Reply
    • Dark seems to make sense if it is based on a thief. Ghost could also work, if it’s based on an extinct species, myth/legend or Tanuki (which could also apply to Fairy).

      Reply
      • Yeah my original thought was to make it based on a Trickster and an honorable thief (won’t steal things unless their is a good reason to)
        So I guess I can just keep Grass/Dark

        And soon I want to shed some light on one of my new Pokémon based on dew (its not related to Dewpider) and Guttation

  22. YIKES, that’s too much good stuff in one day. Odyssey is TOO amazing: like, imagine your expectations and then multiply them by 5. Surprisingly, my favorite element so far is the HD Rumble which is extremely satisfying when throwing the hat or doing pretty much everything. I’m a few kingdoms in so far (and I spent ages in the Wooded Kingdom for some reason), yet I’ve barely scratched the surface. Also, I’ve watched the first few episodes of Stranger Things 2 and I’m impressed so far! It’s really cool how they can add new characters and retain the general “feel” of Hawkins, Indiana. It’s been a good day.

  25. Any PlayStation fans around here? This Monday is going to be HUGE! I’ll still be knee deep in Odyssey, but PGW is worth paying attention to. Get this: 7 game announcements and 21 game updates, and that’s before their actual showcase, which will reveal even more high profile AAA games. Apparently they’re saying that “E3 was only half the story”, with this being the second half. I can’t take all of this gaming madness, 2017 won’t let us get away with our sanity!

  26. I beat odyssey hours ago, i was really, really surprised, it as very good, but maybe it’s that i have become better at mario or the developer timeframe, the game could virtually be bested in 1 day if you play it enough… It still has lots of promising after story elements, i won’t spoil anything about them or the story though…

    Reply
  27. That stretchy Wiggler thing in Odyssey is legitimately one of the most satisfying playable “characters” to use in any game I’ve ever played. It just feels GREAT for some reason. I want Nintendo to create an entire spinoff game based specifically around the stretchy Wigglers like they did with Captain Toad (and I’m only partially joking.)

    Reply
    • As a person who’s played both, I’d say you should start with Odyssey and then go to Breath of the Wild. The main story of Odyssey (seems to be) fairly straightforward, while Breath of the Wild will take ages to finish no matter which way you slice it.

      Reply
      • Thanks ? I will keep that in mind! Either way I am just excited to finally get a switch in a few weeks. Just a few more payments and it will finally be mine lol also will have a digital copy of splatoon 2 since i managed to get the bundle so that’s a plus. I honestly don’t know if I will get USUM or not because of it since i will have so much to play on the switch. Will have to wait and see if they reveal something next Thursday to entice me to buy a copy!

        Reply
        • I really hope you enjoy it, I know you will! For me personally, the whole state of gaming during the Wii U era had me depressed, thinking that Nintendo had exhausted all of their ideas. But the Switch, with the help of its amazing games (especially first party) has made me a believer again when I was VERY far gone. Now I believe that the sky’s the limit and we’ve only scratched the surface! I know this all sounds dramatic but for me, it really is that revolutionary.

  29. So currently in Hoenn having a good time I have 3 weeks to catch a ferry to Alola!

    My realistic expectations/hopes for usum:

    – Excellent post game involving all evil teams twice as long and good as delta ep.
    – New Tapu forms, alolan forms and ubs
    – More changes to Alola possibly new island but graphically better changes to layout and higher demographics of alolan people
    – Wanna see character changes in Hau and Lillie as proper rivals with one being champion
    – new interesting characters
    – More side quests and features such as battling facility and maybe BW2 like medal achievements?
    – super interesting main game!
    – Just want this to be the culmination of all past generations!
    – gym feature where each day the gym layout and leader changes everyday based on past 6 gen gym leaders
    – several post game quests

    • I would like Tapu forms too. I’m not the biggest fans of them right now. They’re definitely unique and well designed, but they don’t much appeal to me.

  31. What level should my Normal/Ground fakemon Hatchick evolve at? (It can evolve either into Fairy/Ground Chichen or Psychic/Ground Roosken) I’m thinking Maybe lv 20 or 22

    Reply
      • Hatchick is found on Route 3 or 4, and the evos aren’t that strong maybe base stat 400 or something like that. Both evos are special attackers, Chichen has higher defence and Roosken higher Sp. Defence. Chichen can learn moves related to eggs, some Ground type moves, some fairy type moves and few Flying type moves. Roosken learnes moves realated to vision and waking up, morning etc, some Psychic and Ground type moves and few Flying type moves.

        Reply
        • Psychic and fairy seems weird types for Pkms that seem to be solely based on Roosters and Chickens but anyways because it’s found at such early routes and have low base stats I find lvs 18-25 to fit better.

          Reply
  32. Holy shet the coolest thing just happened when I was maining Zenyatta this morning.

    So I’m on the Defend side and the payload just got to the 2nd door. I’m sneaking up on enemy players and taking them out with Orbs of Discord while also being sneaky with healing up my allies too. I then hear a Meteor Strike from an enemy Doomfist being launched, which now I’m trying to avoid getting killed. Then the Meteor Strike shows that it’s landing where I’m at, which I prepare for the worst when I’m suddenly seemingly levitating up. I thought (at first) it was a bug with Meteor Strike, but then I realized the 2nd door was shutting. And just before the Doomfist lands, the door pushes me outside and it closes, saving me from the ult.

    Then I’m just sitting there dying. XD

    Reply
  33. I hope this becomes reality because Parasect is one of my favorite Pokemon, and if it gets my favorite typing as well I’ll be completely sold on these games.

    Reply
    • I’m just trying to rack my brain around it, it sounds good in theory but when I think of it Bug/Grass is from the bug body and the parasitic mushrooms on the back grass

      But for the alleged zombie parasect thing where it’s officially dead and still being controlled is perplexing

      Wouldn’t it being dead get rid of its bug typing since it died making it a Ghost/Grass type

      Or did it just die and the mushrooms died as well because there are no more nutrients to suck up but somehow the body moves on its own

      Reply
      • Maybe something causes the bug part to start rejecting the mushroom, killing it, but then the bug part remains mindless so a new soul takes over the body or something idk.

  34. And just like that, I’ve completed Super Mario Odyssey! Except for one little detail…there’s a CRAP TON OF STUFF still left to do! I think I’m going to write out my full thoughts later, but let me say that this game exceeds expectations more than I thought possible. And while I’m going to refrain from giving away any spoilers (especially because I haven’t even seen everything yet), there were lots of things that surprised me and made my spoiler-free tirade worth the trouble. PLEASE play this game.

      • I didn’t rush at all, the game is just so addicting that I’ve been playing so much. I found as many secrets as I possibly could in each kingdom and soaked it all in. I’m at 292 moons as of my last save by the way, and I don’t feel like I’m anywhere near the end. I don’t plan on rushing that either.

          • Nrrrrrrgh you just don’t understand how potent that side of me is, it’s just eating away at my desires for savory gameplay and replacing it with gratifying completionist moxie

          • Seriously though, I can’t wait until a couple months from now when the game exits “spoiler territory”. There is so much I want to rave about, it’s almost hard to contain myself. This will likely be one of my last Odyssey related posts for a while so I can focus on keeping it to myself.

    • Can you spoiler how many kingdoms there are in the campaign? I’ve just been backtracking the first four kingdoms for all the moons and coins. One problem I have though that the ones left are really obscure it seems, but there’s still half left of them lol.

  35. So GameXplain just posted a video (which I won’t watch) with a title claiming that you can get 999 Moons in Super Mario Odyssey. That’s even higher than the number of Korok Seeds, which I still plan to do as well. Nintendo…this is not okay. My life is over, OVER I TELL YOU!

  44. Ooo I have a good question for y’all

    What is something that is unpopular (or rarely talked of) thing you want in USUM

    Personally you know how in the Anime a Darknium Z was guarded by a Wild Totem Raticate. I think that Z-Crystals like Flynium Z, and Icenium Z are too easy to get and I think they should have Wild Totems protecting them (without a trial or captain)

    And another note on another game I’d like to add. In GO I’d like particular Pokémon to have a third move that I’ll call (overworld moves) that help get certain Spiecies like Rain Dance to increase Water encounters, Flash to summon Bug types, Sunny Day to attract fire, ect. Then they could make an easier way to get Castform’s forms

      • Not if I don’t wanna buy a Switch.

        I mean, I still would anyway, but I’d complain about it. Switch games are $20 more expensive than 3DS games here in the US.

          • Maybe if you already *have* a Switch.

            Okay, but if a Switch cost $100 more than a brand-new New 3DS XL, and I want to get both games, that’s $140 MORE than I’d pay otherwise. Not to mention I already have a couple of 2DS, and I could get a brand new one of those (with Mario Kart 8 preinstalled) for $80.

          • Well the hope is that they stop with two versions. I don’t think that format would translate well on the Switch. And yes, it is nice if you already have a switch, but I got mine by saving up money and also selling my Wii U for it. It’s still cheaper than the other consoles.

            As for it being expensive for families, that’s true, but that’s just the price of gaming. It’s never been a cheap hobby, even through the 2DS. 2DS are like $90-$100 give or take (if you’re not getting a 2DS XL, and most kids I know have a 3DS and do not want the 2DS model in the slightest), plus $40, so that’s around $140 for one child for just one game. Yeah, it’s still like half the price, but I’m sure Nintendo is aware of that and I’m sure they’re probably working on alternatives. Anyway you spin it, I think this is a good move for the franchise. Creativity should not be held back by the limited power of the 3DS just so it’s more affordable for kids. It has to be allowed to grow and evolve.

          • Do we truly play Pokemon for the creativity? Truly? It’s been the same game for about 20 years. It just looks prettier and prettier, and some of the game mechanics have improved (battling system, internet connectivity).

            I’d *say* this might hurt their bottom line, but with Pokemon, anything is like printing money, so whatever.

            I still don’t like it, and talking about it is starting to make me mad. So I’m going to stop for now.

            They’ll probably release some sort of Switch mini or something before then.

      • Wut…..that’s wrong…..Magearna wasn’t revealed until February 2016. The merch may have been hinted at via a “?”, but the actual merch was never fully revealed until Megearna was officially shown in February

      • It’s great. Not my fav show, but I love it. The first season really made me like the protagonists, it was exciting, cool and pretty funny at moments. Its a really good, interesting and worth watching show. The second season is alright, but I only watched few episodes to this moment. I don’t want to spoil the plot, I will say that it gets somewhat horror-like at moments, but not too much. I’m not a horror guy myself and it wasn’t that bad. My recomendation for you is to watch few episodes (3 to 5) you’ll either love it or really not. Then you’ll decide if you want to watch it all.

  46. I’m totally all for this, I’d love more Alolan Forms! The more, the better, I say! 😀 And these sound great! Poison/Fairy sounds really interesting for the Oddish line, and I love Parasect, other than it’s Bug/Grass typing, so a Bug/Ghost typing sounds awesome to me! I hope these are true, though I’d say that they’re probably false. But, then again, USUM is the first games to add new Pokemon between games like this so we never know. 🙂
