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!
- Next batch of new Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon information will drop November 9th, 10pm PST (November 10th JST/5am UTC)
What do you think?!
Well it finally happened my wow authenticator isn’t working, and i’m in a full scale panic
Island Scan now includes all starters except for gen 4 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/04bdb28af0deaf3cc5935d5df03da6e1fc03b7fd42c9dff57d202e407d2592e4.gif
My minior’s rock slide fails to flinch Granbull while its gets a crit
then his vivillion wins the speed tie and hits me with hurricane while mine misses
and to top it all off my i get not one but 2 three full sleep cycles while it gets to set up
How is this bad luck? Share the replay please
how is it not?
i lose a valueable sweeper because i couldn’t get a flinch in (and it was shell smashed )
and losing a speed tie to the same exact pokemon Vivillion is bad especilly when his attack lands and mine misses
and who the hell gets so lucky and i’m asleep for three full turns (i didn’t even get a single shed skin on my scrafty and it got a sub in
If you were counting on a flinch you probably fucked up
Besides, try being me and being frozen for five
i was afraid Acrobatics wouldn’t kill it completely and since intimidate wasted my herb and i had a minus to def
Don’t be afraid to take risks dude, sometimes a risk is needed to throw someone off guard
doesn’t matter the battle was 100% on his side
Not always? I’ve beaten OU teams with 6 dunsparce
that was gimmicky luck and you know it
It wasn’t? It was the player not reading my obvious strategy and mistiming his shitt
Same for my six basculin Uber sweep
Each of ths3e I did five times each

Looks like Lillie is getting a z-crystal https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/70fa7d1b6732a4100bf46176f6fde460e184a3657c37283585220c48d90e578e.jpg
O H?
Sketching my final Grass starter evo
Please share your opinions
I need them https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c8934dd3e58ce63dd30e50c9dd126fcf25a244034925253554b7a238b34ce868.jpg
What kind of drugs did you put this ursaring on? WHY ARE ITS LIMBS POPPING OUT OF ITS BACK
What hath god wrought
https://thumbs.gfycat.com/EarlyBiodegradableDrongo-max-1mb.gif
Actually me
Marmalade … does this bear have a flesh tent?
I’ve been looking at bear photos… thought that would help I guess it made it worse
I MEAN IS THE TENT ITSELF MADE OUT OF FLESH
Just the idea is the most horrible idea I’ve ever heard. Like… you can’t make this work. How could you make this work
They made Torterra a living portion of earth… I think a bear with a cave is not that much worse
Because it already had a shell
If you’re talking about the thing on its back its a small cave
Is… it made…out of its flesh?
Like I’m asking… is it made from its flesh
Looks more like it’s made from leafs and wood
I need to check to be sure
Its supposed to be a small Cave… like it’s Rock, like usual caves, but it’s a part of its body
O…oh….
It… doesn’t…. really….yknow.. work
Yeah I kinda figured that out now
Probably comes from the same idea as Torterra.
But… tort.. has a shell normally
AND I THOUGHT THEY SMELLED BAD ON THE OUTSIDE
Inside out the pre-sequel
Doesn’t look like a starter, nothing really stand outs and the design is quite bland for a starter
okokok this needs a serious overhaul
it just looks like a bear with a gushing hump
you need a more…pokemony approach, like give it shaggy plant-life on its body like leafy eyebrows or pods or something, maybe give a better upperbody build with a bipedal approach but can still drop down to all fours
longer claws because why not and for all that is decent lose that tumor
DId someone say shaggy?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gghBcjgOdd0
Seraph pls
Wow… I didn’t expect approach like that from you, Thanks for advice! I’ll try to do these things…
like is it Pure Grass or Grass/Rock Grass/Fighting or Grass/Dark
Grass/Rock
then this much easier for me
it can still have a quadreped bear body but with numerous rocky slates on its spine and on each of its flanks, mossy build up on its body with long stone claws,
Oh my lord
Taking Butter’s travesty i had an idea
What if it was a Druidic Bear monster Like Grass/Psychic or….ugh Grass/Fairy
yo i need a quick help
frosslass used dbond on my minior but i went for a shell smash will d bond kill me the next turn
Okay it depends
What’s your item, how is your health
full
Are you sashsed?
no
should i fake out with earthquake
No cause you’ll kill
If you kill you die
Calc if you’ll live an ice beam
crap i thought Frosslass had levitate ARGH I HATE MAKING STUPID MISTAKES
doesn’t matter ice beam would’ve killed if i tried to use shell smash
It doesn’t have levitate dude
I KNOW THAT NOW ARGH that’s 35 points down the crapper
You feel like doing some showdown matches with me? While we are on topic
Nope, not touching comp till USUM
same…competitive season is when i’m my absolute worst…
I’m planning on making brand new OU, NU UU and Mono teams for USUM (Despite the fact very little will change)
A lot will change Earthen
If your ground types get the right moves, expect some tier raises
Whyyyyyyy? It’s not like the meta is gonna change a whole lot
mate….
It’s gonna change a ton
You do realize what comes out right?
And no I don’t mean new mons
? 2 new UBs? Thats really it. Move tutors I guess, but that still wont change a bunch. watch it’s still going to be around the same meta
Move tutors change everything
That’s why
Some pokemon would be shitt tier if not for the moves they got from move tutor. It’s still gonna change somewhat
Youre forgetting most alola mons are slow. And slowness really will weight things down more than move tutor can help
Not for all of them
What if some busted move tutor move comes out
I mean, who’s to say something nuts will happen like Araquanid getting aqua jet. Just because they’re slow doesn’t mean they can’t be good. Trust me, it will at least make some difference
So until than, I’m not touching showdown
Woooooooooow my boss is such an ass. I asked off in July for the 17th and 18th off and it got denied due to some dumb thing where they blackout dates for holidays so no one takes off (which is stupid af to begin with) So I decided that I’d just call off on the 17th and hope I was off on the 18th too. Both this week and next week I’m off on both Saturdays so I was thinking that maybe my old scheduling was getting put back into place where I only worked weekdays and never weekends. And what do I see scheduled for the 17th and 18th? Me working both days and Saturday being a long one……I’d be more than willing to guess that he put me on full availability those days (1-5 Fri/9-5 Sat) just because I asked off for them. I’m so pissed right now. He could have at the very least only scheduled me for Friday and given me off on Saturday. This always happens. As soon as anyone in my store makes it known that they want specific days off and don’t get them they’ll 100% end up being scheduled for those days anyway……Either way I’m calling off on the 17th . There’s no FREAKING way I’m working the release date of USUM. We’ll have to see about that Saturday, but I may just have to grin and bear it…….I can’t properly express how pissed I am right now. Especially after those dates getting denied 4 months in advance
Yikes, sorry about that, man.It’s not as bad as you, but I have to wait to snag myself a copy too (school).
Yeah……I think what I’m most pissed about is the fact that I asked for the days off and they got denied only for me to have to work. If I hadn’t asked or something it wouldn’t be as much of a “F you” and I wouldn’t feel as mad. I suppose I’ll just have to figure something out. Again either way I’m not working on that Friday and there’s nothing he can do about that XP Just sucks I won’t have the entire weekend to play nonstop. You should butter up your parents and try to get the day off. Maybe they’d be chill if you use the next couple of weeks making a case for yourself?
Not gonna happen, I already took off November 1st, so there’s no way they’re letting me take off for a while. It’s fine though, I’m used to it.
Why’d you take off the first? lol What could have been that important? I’m sick right now, but I won’t call off unless it’s absolutely important (ie Pokemon)
I think everyone was just exhausted after Halloween, so we were allowed to stay home. Idk
Pssssh that’s funny hahaha
My case is not as bad as yours but I will have to wait until late Saturday as well to play the games and that is because I am flying back home for Thanksgiving Break.
At least you’re going on a sort of vacation….Your reason is a good one
In the middle of redesigning the Bear Grass/Rock Starter evo
Am I going in the right direction? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4f7903f7ee794b76a031e5bf047c171fb5984a309d1b0becf5f1710e9a5c71ed.jpg
MUCH better
give it the spiky leafty eyebrows and or ears
maybe some sabreteeth and (this is just a habit of my drawings is some kinda anklets or sheaths around the arms and legs)
Ok…. better, but now it’s just bland
I’m far from being finished, just want to know if It’s already bad
Yeah I’d say it’s getting there.
I’m back!! Howdy!
Wut up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0pXlvoQN6Q&index=17&list=PLMS4he_eHSO-j4rl1G-55wMWuMNv5y1L1
Well no special Ball Poke for you then. 😛
I get mah own
What about… Dream Balls?
I hate them, a little fruity for my tastes
Safari Balls?
those I love but i have very little use outside maybe Rhyhorn but i have a plethora of them,
Ah phooey. Glad to see you back here.
i never left……and even if i don’t show my fugly mug around here i usually show up eventually
My Ball list:
Fast Ball: Pidgey
Lure Ball: Magikarp
Moon Ball: Ghastly, Absol, Larvitar, Staryu
Level Ball: Drampa
Love Ball: Feebas, Eevee, Mareanie, Alomomola, Salandit
Heavy Ball: Larvitar
Friend Ball: Larvitar
Dream Ball: Magneton, Mawile, Forretress, Ponyta, Igglybuff (need to evolve to breed), Jynx, Skorupi, Feebas, Buneary
Safari Ball Ampharos and Houndoom in Black ._.
You still need Dream Mareep?
Oh yes please. What Pokemon would you like from this list?
Do any have egg moves?
So, I know theres not really many people here, but I know you guys play thing from other game series, so what are some characters you actively HATE (you can include pokemon if you want).
Personally, I HATE Cloud from smash 4. I never want to touch a FF game because Cloud has tainted the series to me.
Does Puzzle and Dragons count?
Just look up Illsix. Look up legendary Snowy Valley. That dungeon…
It fills me with enough salt to rival the Dead Sea.
Pokey from Earthbound
Uhh…. Daisy from Mario…
Uhhhh…..
Wall masters in any 3D zelda but I don’t think that really counts
Junkrat in Overwatch
-Basically any villain from Persona 5
-Corrin (A whiny bitch who’s beaten in personality by an amnesiac)
That’s about all I can think of for video game characters, for anime characters, there’s a lot more (Including villains, but not because they’re crappy villains)
Oh yeah, also, Abigail from SFV, why is he so broken???
Wait, how could I forget Jigglypuff? I hate that thing so much
Listen……..I can’t speak for Cloud from Smash…..BUT don’t you dare talk smack about cloud from FF7 proper!!! He’s great the game is great everything about it is great! You understand me?!?!?! lol
Judging from Cloud in smash… I dont doubt that he is a good fighter. Maybe even too good. I dont like it
What exactly is your problem with him? I feel like you haven’t explained…..I’m willing to hear you out, but Cloud is great and I want you to understand this hahaha
Cloud is extremely broken in Smash 4. Like, not even funny broken
Hate the game not the player then lol
hate both makes things simpler
You hate everything so that makes your point invalid
I do hate the game. I hate FF
FF has such a wide variety of games. Which game specifically do you hate?
None of them honestly. I just dont want to play games with Cloud it in. Bad memories
*sigh*……….I respect you freedom to not want to play FF…..but let the record stand I’m incredibly frustrated with everything you’ve said!! XP
i got a list as long as my arm
most of them pokemon (Sableye, Wash Rotom, Mega Vensuaur, Jirachi) but others include
Keese from OoT
Kilik from Soul Calibur (they spam this long reach trip attack)
Serpents from Stardew Valley
those burning or icy birds in kirby
Blood Elves from wow (They always laugh emote me when they steal my mining node)
Elves in general (knife eared snobs)
Spamus
Lucheapina (Lucina)
Cloud as well
Zeldasshole
how could i forget the pinnacle of brokeness Corrin
Oh yes, Corrin. I hate him so much. How is Robin better than him? The man can’t remember who he even is (I think), and yet he’s better than Corrin.
I think he means from the smash bros perspective than the FE
Either way, he’s awful.
You’re awful
He’s not that bad in smash. Hes pretty punishable, just stay in his face or hitting him around and youll be fine
Do you hate Zelda purely because of me? Because Zelda is a trash character in smash and someone you shouldnt have trouble with
Are any of you watching Duck Tales (the reboot). I think it’s at episode 10 rn and it’s really REALLY good
(Also Seraph should watch episode 8)
Yeah, but they’re kinda screwing with the continuity with airing the episodes out of order (something like that, there’s a video on it)
Huh… it wasn’t that noticable for me
There’s a video explaining it, but I can’t find it. I doubt it was taken down
I’ve heard good things, but haven’t had the chance to really watch it. Would like to give it a try tho
I think it’s on the US Disney XD app, or you can just watch it in parts on YouTube
Can’t wait till Celesteela has access to stealth rock and defog
Defog would be great for Cele!
Why would we want to make a OPAF Pokémon, even better?!
It’s not as OP as you think.
Giving it defog would not make it stronger just a better team player and it will give us more options for team buidling.
For example don’t need to use Zapdos or Mantine for Defog as Cele gets it etc
It is considered the strongest UB and I’ve only ever beaten one, because Politoed’s Perish Song took it down
Stop saying such heinous blasphemy
You know it’s true
I have a Jirachi with Water Pulse from an earlier generation. >:D
Ummm….Heart stamp exists
or Zen Headbutt or IRON HEAD ALWAYS FLINCHING OR BODY SLAM PARALYSIS
Who runs body slam when you can run Heart stamp with its 60% flinch chance
are you kidding they always run Body Slam or Thunder Wave
an why run Heart Stamp when Zen has the same 30-60% chance to flinch but with more power
Earthen…. Zen is 20-40
I’ve run a Jirachi for support
i could’ve sworn it was 30% but doesn’t matter Iron Head is its main stab flincher
what the hell is wrong with me!!!!!!!!!!
Simple, you’re blinded by hate
Tbh I’m disgusted by flinch-rachi
But Support is clearly the better option
Is that even worse than King’s Rock, Serene Grace, Air Slash Togekiss?
ehhh that’s not what i’m afraid of with that broken jerk
So apparently Steven Universe is back next Friday
I’m hyped. I need to get Save The Light too
Sadly it’s not on Switch on launch tho
Only on the CN app. It is going the Legend of Korea route.
“Legend of Korea”…………lolz I think I’m alright with that honestly. It makes it easier for me to find it if I miss it. Having to figure out when it airs on tv and making sure it records is kind of a pain given that they never air these things on specific days and times. Western cartoons need to get better at scheduling things
I had a dream that I finally SR’ed a shiny Type: Null. Then I became sad, because I remembered it was a dream.
It felt so real too. :'(
Just keep at it, you’ll get it eventually. Do you have the Shiny Charm?
Nope, I thought that doesn’t work with him.
Hm, not sure, I’ve seen conflicting reports.
i had dream where my IPad lost power instantly
So near yet so far! 😛
You can literally get a shiny Silvally without SRing
But without getting a shiny Type: Null to match in the Pokedex will kill my OCD.
I get those shiny dreams all the time. I think it just happens in the business
Whenever I shiny hunt I have dreams I find the shiny but cant get it. Sometimes I gasp myself awake in the hype for it to be wrong.
Or sometimes I see the sparkles but my head wont turn to look at the shiny. So Im like stuck wondering if it was actually a shiny.
I never have been this dedicated to actually SR for a shiny before since ORAS with Cresselia (which I still never got.)
I had a realistic dream about getting my hands on Ultra Sun
I had a realistic dream that aliens destroyed the earth and a majority of life was erased. Let’s hope that does not come true.
Closer to finishing the final Grass/Rock starter sketch…
Is it bad? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0e7fdfef3f87464b1ec560f15be27da43c896b390d86cd654b521faf88e0b4b4.jpg
better, the fragments on the stone look like barnacles or peanuts
They’re supposed to be leafs/Ivy, but yeah they kinda look like peanuts
maybe replace the leaves with moss like texture to indicate plant over rock
my Grass/Rock Elephant Starter is suffering the same fate
I’m not sure, the prevos have sort of a Leaf theme going on
Ivy looks more like this https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c7df0fd92dcc848575a74b94a50a0a90974188c0e62d0822c4c5230c16856ac1.jpg
I would give it 2 mountainous rocks on its’ shoulder blades and top of the hips instead of the shoulder bones and center back. Maybe have small stones jutting down the spine, no more than 3. The claws should probably be more curved. I feel it’s missing something around the neck, perhaps a leafy ruff?
Ok, to expand on Casccon’s question, what are some anime characters you hate? It can be because either they’re annoying or they’re just really good villains, that you just love to hate them. For me:
Yoshikage Kira (The man feels realistic. Well, as realistic as you can get with a cat looking Stand that blows stuff up invisible and unhearable to a non-Stand User).
Tobias (AKA Plot device)
Jiren (This man is the definition of bullshit)
Shigaraki (Me and Seraph share this, or at the very least, he doesn’t like him)
Those are just some of the anime characters I hate
I like Shigaraki? Hands boi is interesting
Oh, well I still don’t. He’s so whiny
i don’t really watch a whole lotta anime…..
Then why comment at all? It adds noooooooothing
i just wanna feel included ;_;
Frigging Ragyo from Kill La Kill. You all know why if you seen it.
The fact her theme song is amazing makes me hate her even more.
And worse, I LOATHE Nui Harime. With a passion. That pink loli get up won’t save you from being hated, you blonde–*inhale*
Did you just say kill la kill? 😀
D O N ‘ T L O S E Y O U R W A Y
MAKO
I’ve seen what she’s done, but I’m not too far into Kill La Kill, That reminds me, I also hate the Lobelia girls from Ouran
Kimblee from FMAB. He was just so evil without any good reason
Naruto from original Naruto. He is such a stupid but lucky person
Blackstar from Soul Eater. Ive never met a more annoying character
Wait how can you hate Blackstar? He’s literally a Naruto parody
Blackstar is hilarious
He is cause like he’s PURPOSELY over the top
Death The Kid is my personal fave
Easily
If we’re talking about FMA, then for me, Shou Tucker. Ooh, he gets me pissed
Oh and Death the Kid. He was super annoying with that OCD thing. He almost died multiple times because of it.
I just hated Soul Eater the show.
HOW DO YOU HATE DEATH THE KI-
You’re triggering me
How can you hate Soul Eater (besides the anime-only ending)? Death The Kid is amazing. (Almost) all the characters are amazing
Everyone from Boku no Pico
(Good glob no, I haven’t seen it. I heard about it.)
Oh… Oh my lord. Thank God you haven’t seen it (I haven’t either, and I never will)
Boku No Peeko
I hate you
This was easily one of the best fake scans of CoroCoro. I kind of miss the days of BW/BW2 prerelease seasons
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/224b7e1060d787a6a540d7e7f8fe5f9de087ed67ba62223e888c8acbcd7dd51e.png
I still want Cactowl, don’t even care that we already have Rowlet.
I LOVE Cactowl. I too wish it was real. Definitely wold have picked it if it was real
I think it could evolve into a cactus roadrunner and be a 2 stage ‘mon instead of a starter.
Ugh!!!! I really am so sad it’s fake……Such a great design and would have been amazing starter or not!
https://cdn.lakevalor.net/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2F25.media.tumblr.com%2F81be1c9e3b8f591998f4306f91f97a21%2Ftumblr_mhnp0x3knz1s10bcao1_500.jpg&hash=579b56d360911c6e90d271628280b446
Meh……
Did anybody fall for that? Because there would never be new Pokemon in a same generation game, especially not starters. UBs from USUM being an exception that happened 2 gens later and are kind of sort of not Pokemon.
I suppose not really, but it was a different time. Back then everything and anything could happen. There being a sequel rather than a regular 3rd version was certainly something people were keeping their eyes on. It wasn’t crazy out there to think that maybe there would new starters if it wasn’t the same exact story.
I suppose. I can’t remember what my mindset was at that point in time but yeah I am using the good ol’ fallacy of hindsight is 20/20.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d070f34e0d657378f6e0098d3abc1be635467d5fe46600358e9b5ce17fcb5a01.png
I do not care what anyone says the battle agency is no joke the thing about USUM that has me the most hyped
Das pretty cool.
So bubsy sucked. 1 hour long game….
It’s Bubsy what’d you expect.
siiiiigh I’m just bummed out all of a sudden
I need to get a new phone and figure out what’s wrong with my Wow Authenticator (which gives me a code to log into my battlenet account) and I need to fix my bed because a beam snapped when I was kneeling on it, and anxieties are setting in, I just wish somebody could just shoot me with a tranq gun so I can just be asleep and away from these problems
Brick on a string not work?
No the doctors say I can’t afford any more blows to the head, I’m dead serious I already have a dent in my head
Have you tried things like doing nothing but read a book for an hour before going to bed? Other natural remedies? I have alot of trouble sleeping and nothing seems to work for me tbf. I often just think of themed Pokemon teams until I eventually fall asleep.
@Monkeyfuzz:disqus What kind of egg moves? On which Pokemon, because several have egg moves.
Mostly wondering on Absol and Mawile. If not then I’d just take Moon Absol anyway I guess.
Mawile has Sucker Punch, Ice Fang, Fire Fang, and Poison Fang. They’re outdated egg moves from another Mawile I have. They have no perfect IVs for the ones that are ready to WT out. Absol is 5IV with Play Rough, Curse, Megahorn, and Zen Headbutt. I got it off WT.
Everything did except the DB ones. They came from Black.
The Absol sounds good, have you bred one for yourself from it?
Nope. I was busy with Mawile/Feebas/Salandit hatchings. Before those, Beast Ball HA Vulpix. Both types. I had a HA Fire Vulpix breed with an Alolan one, and the egg bacame the Alolan one with HA.
I’ll get started with breeding you one. It also has Jolly, unless you and Adamant?
Jolly/Adamant are both fine. Modest OK for Mareep?
Modest is good. I’l let you know when Absol is ready. I had to get out of that prison that is Aether ‘Paradise’.
