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. I don’t care what was in this trailer, I still think we’re going to get more new UBs that go unannounced (but will probably be revealed in the upcoming data dump). The idea of this has me EXTREMELY EXCITED because all of this stuff in the trailer looks incredible and adding more new Pokemon with crazy cool designs will push me over the edge!

  3. I love the idea of team rainbow rocket, even if some of those prevous team leaders really shouldn’t be alive/evil/still in this dimension somehow. lol.

    really excited for these games now. these are the last big hurrah for the 3ds and what a way to go!

  4. 33 legends + UBs in a single game? Soooo boring! Really GF? I just spent a month with oras to catch all of them…now they are even more…

    • Think of it as a culmination of the series plus catching them all in USUM makes perfect sense with the alternate dimensions.
      PLUS the areas the legendaries are waiting in are actual proper designed areas!

  5. Ok so I’m glad the all evil teams is true and they have legendary pokemon in their teams or at least Giovanni does!
    The game looks great. Like the coming together of the series it almost looks like the final pokemon game!
    Switch reboot will be amazing and fresh.
    But for now USUM looking fineeeee

  6. This is a fantastic batch of news in my opinion. While not getting a full on reboot of the battle frontier, the Battle Agency is a small step in the direction I like, so that’s a plus. Also, so many legends like in ORAS!! The hunts will never stop in these games, especially those coveted generation 6 ones (some like myself didn’t get the event ones because it wasn’t earned just given). And the ability to face all of the past Team Leaders?? And being able to have totem pokemon? I can’t wait for these games! I just hope there’s plenty more to discover upon their release

  7. I think you all are missing the most surprising thing. Team Rocket now officially has a canon connection to Mewtwo. Before it was just in the movies and books that they did, but now Giovanni is full on using one.
