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!

  4. Huh, Rica Matsumoto (Voice of Ash/Satoshi) apparently sang the opening of Kamen Rider Ryuki, as well as playing characters in a few Super Sentai seasons. That’s cool

          • If you think RR is main game, then good for you. But they wont so enjoy your delusion while you can

          • really 20th anniversary of a game where team rocket was part of the MAIN game i think they would make it main game also considering the location looks to not be in a wormhole of any kind and most postgame stuff is in or around worm holes plus how often do the storys characters come with you in post game i think its only happened once

          • I personally agree that it will be post-game content, but it also hasn’t been confirmed. I think you should have shared your opinion in a less abraisive manner.

  6. Guys…I did it. I am actually excited now. All the antagonists of Pokémon in this game. Rentals like they did in RSE. I can’t believe they have all the legends. And now we can use giant totem pokemon

  7. I managed to pass 700 Moons in Odyssey this morning! I don’t know how they did it, but for some reason I never get tired of collecting these things.

    • Do the kingdoms get bigger as you progress? The first two seem pretty small.
      I also tried to 100% each kingdom before progressing, but there are some moons I just can’t find. But I’m sure I looked everywhere. I know some are unlocked in the post game; those don’t appear on the moon list for me yet though. Do you know if some moons are unlocked only after you visit a certain kingdom?

      • Okay so first, definitely don’t bother shooting for 100% before beating the main story because it’s kind of impossible. I’d just go for the ones which you stumble across while exploring initially, but that’s just me. And second, the size of kingdoms doesnt really have a pattern, you can go from a huge one to a smaller one. But yes, there are much larger kingdoms beyond the first two. Those are basically tutorials.

  8. I wonder what is RR actual purpose?
    Like what are they tryna achieve in Alola?
    Domination?? Like Magma had it’s Land purpose, each evil team was always after the Legendary mon etc
    What is Rainbow Rockets actual purpose?
    Do they wanna get control over all the Tapus?
    And are they main or post game??
