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)!
Alolan forms for my two favourite Gen 1 Pkms?
I’m sold
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.
Isn’t there an Alolan Marowak already?
I think he meant he wants Alolan Parasect to be as crazy as Alolan Marowak
Gotcha! Lol I’m too tired to think apparently haha
Really hope this is true. Really want more alolan forms. Just hope some Pokémon besides just gen one get some if it’s true
Yay more Alolan’s!
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.
Because GameFreak would have shown off new Alolan forms by now if they existed.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, the roumor’s probably fake. And actually, I don’t see how no unused type combinations could be a bad thing, could you explain what you mean?
What I mean is that when new games come around, and new Pokémon are being shown, one of the things that I have noticed garnering a lot of excitement is the typing of the Pokémon-and a lot of the speculated typings are new typing combinations. I am wondering how this speculation period will change when all type combos are used. Will there still be the same level of general excitement towards the speculation of a new Pokémon’s type?
Imo yes, it will just shift to lesser used combos like Ground/Electric.
We do need more Ground/Electric types.
It may be fake, but I fimd its healthy to get a little hype over long shots like this.
Yes, I also fimd healthiness in the hyping of shots that are long. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e4376398aa1b2edde4f1a5c2d688450be54869c0d4367e3d824b856b41c59e77.jpg
Ready or not
Here we… Dance!
Ayy Papi!
Tom Hanks is my favourite.
David S. Pumpkins was a fantastic character. I am saddened that they might butcher it by a less than spectacular performance in the Halloween special tomorrow.
I don’t know what this is from, I just like Tom Hanks.
Saturday Night Live’s Halloween episode last year. Literally my favorite Halloween skit of all time.
Everyone say hello to my USUM team member: Inky! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0e5e6fcdf184c2260577cc45c7c5863ca6cffd87afba0212297b6af477938813.jpg
Nice, congratulations, hello Inky 🙂
I was Magikarp Methoding, at 40th egg I got a shiny but it went to waste since I forgot to use a forgein Ditto. But the second time I was super lucky and got a shiny on 2nd egg!
What do you mean? Did you not save before the first one? It’s good you got it so soon after anyway though.
No, It’s just that I wasn’t using Masuda Method, Which meant the shiny egg wasn’t shiny when I restarted the game.
So the shiny karp came up without Masuda Method?
Yeah, I was really lucky and it went to waste lol
That’s annoying, still I guess it worked out in the end.
Hi Inky! Do you know Blinky, Pinky and Sue?
Wasn’t it Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde?
Oh right my mistake, I have heard of a Sue, but yeah it was Clyde
I actually prefer Mimikyu’s non-shiny form, but good effort on your part.
Ok so that French interview from last week that claimed no new Alolan forms, has been confirmed as fake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI4knVxiImc
Wow, so it was all for clickbait?
Yep
Apparently that particular website is quite known in France to be clickbait
Still annoying. Do you think it would have gained as much traction were it not for Joe?
Probably would because social media
Was quite obvious with the poster in english even tho french translate everything.
on top of that, i love it that i cant even post a comment over that the journalist needs to post sources without sources the entire claim is bullshit.
Paul went to journalist school and cant even post a damn source some good school that was.
Also here is some actual information
https://twitter.com/AggressiveZone/status/923823062180683776
Translated from the twitter from the pokemon company
We getting new news guys the 2ond of november
YESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!
Well, despite I usually trust pokesirena, this does not “confirm” the interview as fake. I mean a leaker debunking something is not actually a reliable source…
The website is notorious in France to post fake stuff for clickbait?
Makes sense it was fake but there are no new Alolan forms.
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
Yay you returned for a brief period! 😀
So my UM team is confirmed to have:
Decidueye
Lycanroc Dusk
Alolan Persian
Inky the Shiny Mimikyu (that I just bred)
Maybe Kommo-o
My US team is confirmed to have:
Nothing.
Life is an uncertainty.
Yeah, I wanted to have that with UM, but It’s kinda Impossible for someone like me
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.
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.
That is more than 6. You are breaking the rules of he game by using all of the interesting Pokémon.
Man, screw Oddish! I’d prefer an Alolan Bellsprout line a lot more.
Maybe we’ll get A. Bellsprout in the opposite game A. Oddish is in
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.
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
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
???
The only thing wrong there for me is the lack of Grass type. Wouldn’t they still be plants?
It doesn’t really bother me that much. I mean we have Dragalge a Pokémon that inhabits water and it is a Poison/Dragon type.
But its prevo is still water
…Pancakes.
But it evolved from a water/poison type but i see your point. Its like Dhelmise being Grass/Ghost with a steel powered ability and being found by fishing ? who at GF was on drugs that day when they made that decision
Of course, Dhelmise. How could I forget. We had a lot of great Ghost Pokémon this generation. If Alola Parasect is true then that is just another great one to be added to the batch.
There are a lot of native Alolan pokemon I want to use this time. Ive already used: Decidueye, Primarina, Toucannon, Mudsdale, Riombee, Salazzle, A. Muk, A. Raichu, Crabominable, Lurantis, Bewear and Minior
That’d make 3 Grass/Ghost mons from alola
The rumor is predicting it to be a Bug/Ghost. However if this is true then that would be 3 Grass Kanto lines with Alola forms.
Well we can confirm that Mina will prolly have a Mr. Mime since Mime Jr. is in the game. I’d also think that she’d have a Comfey and a Riombee as well
That is a possibility, but what I meant is that Alola Vileplume may be the Totem Pokémon.
That would be interesting. I’d rather see Totem Riombee tbh
Ribombee is Mina’s Signature so it probably won’t be a Totem
You right lol I forget what pokemon are on the trial captains teams
What if Its partner Mime’s and they use Reflect and Light Screen. The terror
Oh god LOL better sacrifice a fast fighting type to brick break those
My team will definetly be
-Incineroar
-Dusk Lycanroc
-Alolan Parasect
-Mantine
-Shiinotic
-??? Maybe another Alolan or may be I’ll pick a random Pokémon
Parasect will definitely get a spot on my team, due me wanting a more Special attacker on my team
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
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.
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.
Well, Hapu has been eliminated. She didn’t really have a stand out character anyway, so good riddance. Now there is exactly 20 characters left which also means 21 days (exactly 3 weeks) until USUM.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1V-V_edp-qpKl7CAwSPZHXx31PPqkIRMruql1Vvn-9bg/edit
You know the rules. Vote for three lest favorites.
I was wrong…
Yea, I thought it would be someone else, but I guess Hapu was just boring. She was though.
#OliviaNeedsToGo
#No
I think you accidentally took Ryuki off
As far as I remember he was still available for elimination
Nah he was the one eliminated before Hapu.
Oh I musta missed that one
Obviously Hau is gonna win this. Nobody likes him.
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
Just please no SMO Spoilers (or Smoilers if you will), some of us have to wait a while to get it
What have I spoiled, unless you are blind everyone has seen the desert level, I’m just saying I found 40 moons
You haven’t spoiled anything yet, just reminding you for the future
Parasect always has a shot (it does make sense in a way with Parasect being… what it is)
Im sure this fake, but havent you learned by now to stop trying to apply logic to alolan forms..?
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.
Mimikyu Z-move is confirmed to exist
Yes and Togedemaru is right there too. But we don’t know what these moves will do in battle.
Togedemaru isn’t confirmed to have a Z-move and it probably doesn’t. The scene from the trailer looked more like a Totem battle
What are you doing here and why are you not playing Super Mario Odyssey? Not having a Switch is no excuse.
I only play Pokemon games! Theyre the only thing worth my time.
I dont have a switchIs watching Stranger Things S2 an excuse?
I’m broke, But it and Kirby Star Allies are my two games I want as soon as possible
I bought AC Origins today, not getting SMO for another 2 weeks
I have a Switch but am no interested enough in SMO to spend money on it.
I might ask you the same question.
GUYS I know again what fear is…
Stranger Things 2 reminded me..
YELP
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
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.
Is Shedinja any good? It having only 1 HP really threw me off when playing RSE
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
Really? That seems rather gimmicky even for in game usage
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)
Despite the fact that toxic, sandstorm, hail, burn, stealth rocks, spikes and whatever SE move oneshot it.
No. But it’s certainly cool.
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.
Oh look who I met

Wow! You met Reggie and a guy in a Switch T-shirt!
so I’m Mario 😮
ITSA YOU
He obviously is Reggie.
Govnah is Reggie…
I kno
Sorry it cut out
I know a Celebrity
It’s the only explain.
He’s all three of them
And all 3 Cappy.
Oh my goodness Govnah, that’s you! I really think you look a lot older than I remember. But that’s a priceless photo! I have Odyssey in my Switch right now but I’m watching a little Stranger Things first.
Odyssey is great
This was honestly the best days of my life
F*ck you got more upvotes than my bred Shiny Mimikyu
But its reggie?
You deserve it but I’m still salty
I guess you weren’t Reggie for running into him
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?
100% shameless knock off really sad that there are people who make things like these and pretend its original
If it didn’t look so much like go and work so similar I would say they are seperate, but I think the fact that the company who made it claims “its very different” because “we didn’t use the same code” I think it is pretty much a copy of Pokémon that took aspects from games like Dragonvale and threw that in to cover it up
This article also can shed some light
https://pokemongohub.net/post/breaking-news/niantic-allegedly-not-pleased-draconius-go-possible-copyright-violation-complaints/amp/
I seriously doubt these are real.
They’re not but people like to believe things that won’t happen for some reason.
Would it be weird if my Normal/Ground Hatchick fakemon evolved into either into male Psychic/Ground Roosken or female Fairy/Normal Chichen?
For the Female yes, because its Normal typing is moved from being its Primary (Which is very Uncommon in Pokémon that keep at least one original type)
So I’d say make it Normal/Fairy
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
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
It’s just a special dynamic between the two mons, Fairy and Psychic. But maybe I’ll make it Normal/Fairy…
