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!
  • Next batch of new Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon information will drop November 9th, 10pm PST (November 10th JST/5am UTC)

  1. Type distribution for Infrared/Ultraviolet so far, don’t worry if it’s all nonsensical to you because it’s just names and types because it’s meant to just be that. It’s just showing the type combos I have and how many of each type because I think it’s interesting how easy it’s been to create for some types yet so hard for others.

    If there’s any mons you want me to elaborate on, go for it.

  2. So I noticed something while watching GameXplain’s analysis of the newest info we got. Hau also has a black Z ring now in USUM. I wonder what the significance of them swapping out the white one for the black one. It really makes me wonder if we get our Z ring differently this time seeing as Melemele island’s ring is white and Ula’ula’s is black.

  3. How to make Silvally better

    > Give it EQ and Stone Edge/Rock Slide
    > Make Multi-Attack a 95 or 100 power move
    > Set all stats to 100 or 105

  4. Ok hold up!! So I’m trying to track down the remaining Zygarde cells I need. (Don’t ask me why I’m doing this now when USUM is out in less than 2 weeks XD) and I JUST discovered Lush Jungle has a cave!!! How have I never come back to this place once I got ride Machamp and looked around?? And on top of that it has a northern exit that leads to an interesting view of route 8 and the Tm for Energy Ball! It’s so weird I’ve never known this! hahaha

    Reply
      • Like honestly now that I think about it I’m prolly gonna give up on trying to find the cells given that in 2 weeks I’ll have to do it all over again, but this has been a pleasant surprise. I haven’t been surprised by a Pokemon game post game in a VERY long time! This was out of left field lol I hope USUM can supply us with this kind of stuff too.

        Reply
          • I think they’ll both be around. They’ll have to give us the cells and core one way or another and it would be odd if they just gave us all of them at once and told us to do whatever we want with them.

          • Meh could care less for the cells, USUM’s postgame content already looks better than SUMO’s looking for cells thing so yeah

          • Doubt it’s what you think it is. We may battle the 50% form, but that 100% form is clearly just them showing it off and not part of any story. It’s not even in the cave where the 50% form is shown. It’s outside where the purple tree is.

      • Yeah I knew about that tho haha. That doesn’t require a super late game mechanic (is Machamp) to get through. As long as you’ve beaten Hala you can go back to that immediately

  5. Just wondering has anyone on this site ever acted like this after losing a Pokémon battle or some other Pokémon related reason. I think I had the same reaction when my sister released nearly all my Pokémon in my first save file of my first ever game-Pokémon Gold.

  6. Gtg, have to get up early to see the Pokemon movie. Really hope they give me the Pikachu code thing and promo card, since that’s largely why I’m going.

  7. What’s with VP and dolphin porn……..Every “leak” thread ends up being a hub of people dropping download links with folders of dolphin porn……I haven’t downloaded anything, but everyone in these threads keep bringing it up……..I really hate that 4chan is one of the places we find early release leaks………..*sigh*……

  8. I’m on track to 100% Odyssey either tonight or tomorrow which is pretty darn awesome if I say so myself. I now sit at 845 Moons, with a huge chunk of the remainder to be bought after collecting infinite coins in Bowser’s Kingdom 😛

  9. At GF few years ago:
    -I decided to name this new Poison/Water type ”Hidoide” (pun on Cruel and Sea Star)
    -Okay, great. What about the evolution?
    -Eh…
    *Adds ”do” (Very) to Hidoide*

  11. So I want to give some thoughts on the potential “Light Form” Necrozma everyone is convinced will happen

    I’m trying to figure out if Necrozma’s body actually houses a sentient light cluster or its hardened crystalline body is its true body, I say this because we do not know if it is truly a crystal or not I base this on its entry stating it was buried deep underground since ancient times, so this could be either it crash landed on the planet as a light creature and was buried for X amount of time and over time it’s body petrified and oxidized

    Reply
    • I agree with this. Also, if we draw parallels with kyurem, original kyurem is actually a manifestation of the “zero” aspect of what’s left of it once yin and yang are taken out of it, forming zekrom and reshiram. Conversely, i feel necrozma has a “good” core inside out surrounded by the malicious outer body which steals solgaleo and lunalas power, i.e something that’s left over.

  12. Second to last update about Odyssey: I’ll definitely be done tonight, although it may take some effort. I’ve been using the Hint Toad a bit more than I’d like to admit, but still only for the last several in each kingdom. Some of these are RIDICULOUS, in terms of how you get them, and I wouldn’t have been able to guess in a million years. So I guess a thank you is in order Nintendo, for letting me finish your game! I’ll answer questions when I return if anyone doesn’t have the game yet and is on the fence for some reason, because it really has been something else.

  13. Guys I had a design exam today and one of the questions in the creative part was amazing 🙂
    It required me to combine the properties of an object: light bulb, stove or car and an animal: elephant, crow or caterpillar to create a new creature!!
    I made a stove elephant 😀

  14. Hey guys, I really wanted to pass this on to you guys for those who are interested. People from Serenes Forest and Reddit have come together to run a bunch of FE games by a bunch I mean all the ones released in North America as well as Japanese released only Binding Blade. They are running these games for Extra Life, a charity to help children. Right now, they are running Shadows of Valentia, which I know many are familiar with considering it is the newest Fire Emblem main game. Here is the link and if you want more info I believe if you type !info into the stream chat, the bot will give a link with more info. They have raffles with unique prizes including artwork that is signed by different Voice Actors from Fire Emblem I think including the Voice Actor of Ike who spoke on stream.

    I know this is unrelated to pokemon and the article specifically but I have noticed a bunch of people have played at least Awakening so I thought I’d pass this on.
