New Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Trailer & Features Revealed

As promised, a brand new trailer showing off new features and story elements of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon has been released!

New Information:

  • Team Rainbow Rocket has assembled under Giovanni to bring together the biggest baddies of the last 20 years.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, the greatest villainous organization in history appears! It’s Team Rainbow Rocket—made up of the bosses from past titles in the Pokémon series!

The boss of Team Rainbow Rocket is none other than Giovanni, who was also the boss of the villainous organization known as Team Rocket in Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue, the first games in the Pokémon series.

But that’s not the worst of it—Giovanni has gathered into one group the bosses from the various past games in the Pokémon series! You and your allies will have to square off against what might be your greatest challenge yet!

What in the world could Giovanni and his allies be after, appearing in the Alola region so suddenly…?

  • New Battle Agency feature allows you to battle using rental teams!

When you don your sunglasses and become an “agent” at this facility, you can take part in Single Battles using rental Pokémon. You’ll have three such Pokémon to command as you try to defeat the three Pokémon in your opponent’s team. Try to win your way to being the best of all the agents! 

  • Totem Stickers seem to take the place of Zygarde Cells and can be found throughout Alola and ultimately redeemed for totem-like Pokémon!

With Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon,you’ll be able to collect stickers called Totem Stickers all around Alola. Totem Stickers glitter and shine in the field.

If you collect these Totem Stickers, you’ll be able to get a huge totem-like Pokémon for your team, based on how many stickers you’ve collected. It’ll surely shock your opponents to see you using these oversized totem-like Pokémon in battle!

The totem-like Pokémon that you can get as allies can differ based on whether you’re playing Pokémon Ultra Sun or Pokémon Ultra Moon. For example, you can get Lurantis as an ally in Pokémon Ultra Sun or Salazzle in Pokémon Ultra Moon. Search every corner of the Alola region and collect masses of Totem Stickers!

  • Catch lots of Legendary Pokémon depending on your game!
    • Pokémon Ultra Sun only: Ho-Oh, Raikou, Groudon, Latios, Dialga, Heatran, Reshiram, Tornadus, Xerneas.
    • Pokémon Ultra Moon only: Lugia, Entei, Kyogre, Latias, Palkia, Regigigas, Zekrom, Thundurus, Yveltal.
  • Island Scan feature returns with new Pokémon, including Charmander, Grovyle and Greninja!

  1. Hey guys don’t know if this thought has been said yet, but this confirms something

    USUM might not take place in the ORAS/XY dimension or World based on a very important character… Archie.
    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e4ab505b6e6dc35c0a5c860496cf95bc7e15a0df6246e98df294835af6870634.png

    As folks these two may be the same character, but remember that in ORAS Archie was Dark skinned, but in the upcoming USUM he returns to his original Caucasian color palette. Meaning either one if two things

    He was brought to Alola of USUM via Ultra Space and is now thus there are two Archie’s in the world, meaning we still do exist in the Gen.6 timeline and that the RR either has mastered dimensional travel or is another group of Fallers or theory 2, is that Giavonni gathered them from across the world in which USUM exists in meaning that USUM is probably from the original world before the Gen.6 world was conceived.

    This is just a theory I’m pointing out cause it really intrigued and confused me that his original skin rather than his newer skin is used. Making me theorize where we really are in USUM

  2. i also just found something interesting i cant link it scared of being caught with the info but… lol yeah no but why does team rockets base look like an angry palossand i mean it looks like a very very very very pissed off palossand windows for eyes and mouths

  3. Okay I’m just gonna say it: I’m really annoyed that GFreak didn’t use Archie and Maxie’s redesigns! I know it’s bc of some alternate dimension garbage or a homage to the original ruby and sapphire but DAMN their ORAS designs were sooooo good

    Edit: ALSO why didn’t they use Neo-Plasma Ghetsis design? The BW design is a bit of an eyesore

    Reply
        • Not really like Maxie and Archie. There is a dimension with their redesign where they did win. So MAxie and Archie not having their redesigns make no sense

          Reply
          • Same with ghetsis if they go into dimensions there must be a dimension did get to the B2W2 and killed player character and N was too late. Thus Ghetsis wins and has redesigns. And no Im not being too extra they want to introduce new timelines then there is infinite possibilities

  4. So, to add more fuel to my rage, apparently Tobias (Sinnoh League) had a Mewtwo on his team. That’s nice. I got this from a YouTube comment, but they said one of the Japanese writers confirmed it on Twitter or something, so idk the validity of this statement.

  5. I now have figured out what my team will be in Ultra Sun.

    Seeing how these games seem to be like a “culmination” of a lot of things, such as for the final 3DS games, the villains, etc. I thought that, because these games are what they are, my team will essentially be a culmination of previous Pokémon I’ve used in other playthroughs (though my starter, Litten, will be the only new mon I have throughout the entire journey). But they’ll still be Pokémon I’ll catch throughout the game.

    So for example, I might have Sandstorm (my Flygon back in my most recent Emerald run) and Flux (my Jolteon I used back in X) join the team.

  6. thats really cool, i love that all the teams are coming together but that worries me that theyre trying to make a “grand ending” to the games and i dont want that :'< hopefully theyre just doing it for the 20th anniversary and nothing more

    well i made one last fakemon in the spirit of halloween since i had it on mind before the month ended, it might look more like a monster from yokai watch but i just wanna make good monster design at the end of the day, hope you enjoy ^w^

    ghost/fairy

    was gonna originally be an ultra beast but i like it more as a weird creepy solo mon, based off the oiwa

      • hmmm well i remember ken sugimori or someone else saying they wanted pokemon to get simpler in design after gen 5 and they never really did that so maybe they will eventually “reboot”

        Reply
      • Total reboot? Still asked so many times and one will give a straight answer to this question

        Do y’all mean we do another BW and maybe have no old ones return post game, but still have them Bankable (I assume they will make the two compatible in some way)

        Or do you mean, they scrap all 800 some Pokémon for good (to not return for a long time) and refresh it with hundreds more to fill up the void of the old

        Or What?! I really would like to have an explanation for “Total Reboot”

  7. Can anyone show me this mystery figure possible new Pokemon?
    Also.. Sidenote: Hat Pikachu not having AZ Floetta stats or at least better is still a Huge Mistake. A Useable Pikachu, their star mon would be a Huge boost for them. . Money grab wise. Ugh.. oh well. Along with Ash not teaching Pikachu a new move. Thunderbolt and Electro Ball worthless. Volt tackle was where it’s at.

  8. Ok ok ok I’m sick and frickin’ tired of hearing “total reboot” for Gen.8 Switch games so someone please explain to me EXACTLY what you mean by this statement as it could mean a variety of things

    Does this mean your looking for another BW style and maybe they link the 3ds and Switch so you can get older Gen. Pokemon instead of giving us them as natural post game Pokémon?

    Does it mean you want a total rehaul of everything, where they dump all 800 some and all previous games thoughts down the crapper and start from the very beginning with a brand new set of Pokémon and keep the old ones silent for a long time?

    Or what on Earth does this “Total Recall” actually mean?! Please explain to me!

    • Imo, “reboot” means a remake of Gen1 but with all the new things from Gen6&7 plus perhaps an overhauled story to bring it more in line with the later games, then remaking the other games that haven’t been remade yet before moving on to something brand new.

    • “Reboot” I think is just calling for a total formula change for the franchise. Keep the important basics that make pokemon pokemon and spice the hell up out of the rest of it. No one is asking for them to get rid of all pass pokemon and stuff like that. Basically just do for pokemon what breath of the wild did for zelda. Except we probably should not expect that level of effort put in in all honesty. It won’t happen on that scale.
