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!

  2. That was certainly disappointing but DAMN, I didn’t believe the idea that all leaders would have a role! Also, they basically included every legendary ever, which I’m happy about.

  3. Ok I love this, but……where are my Alolan forms?!?!?!? If the leaks are real I wish they would just show us already!!

  4. That was… disappointing. Why was it an overview trailer over stuff that was already in Sun and Moon anyways.

    But I can’t act like I wasn’t giggling in joy when Giovanni had a Mewtwo

    Archie and Maxie are from the non mega evolution time line when their designs weren’t nearly as cool.

    If Ghetsis was there, can we please get our boy N?

  5. The trailer was the most lackluster Pokemon trailer I have ever seen. I wasn’t excepting much at all. The only things I liked was the new battle place and the island scan.

  6. A New Battle Facility: The Battle Agency!

    The Battle Agency is a new facility where you can enjoy battling by easily renting powerful Pokémon.
    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!
    The Pokémon you can rent for these battles will increase as you mingle with other players around you or over the internet. Connect with formidable players, and you’ll be able to rent powerful Pokémon. So communicate with lots of other players, choose the Pokémon you like best from those available to rent, and aim to become the top agent!

  7. So they keep their old designs… I wonder why…
    BAttle Agency seems like a lamer factory.
    Totem Stickers are nice! I can have my large Lurantis
    but the real question is… are the legends shiny locked….

  9. This trailer further convinces me that Pokemon on Switch will basically be a complete reboot like Black and White. They’re getting all of their past references and legendaries tied together into one complete package and then, I’m guessing, moving on to something new. I think this is AWESOME!!!
