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)

That screenshot looks tedious as f*ck.
They shouldn’t have gotten rid of horde battles because those grunt hordes in ORAS was so underused
I think it’ll be like the Skull Grunts in front of Poni Canyon where we beat two and the rest bug off
Hope so. I’m scared that Game Freak’s idea of difficulty is just throw more of the same at the player
I thought it was just one or two grunts who used the Pokemon of all the other grunts present
They are also underleveled, like I can easily beat a horde of level 25’s when I’m level 50 guys, even if all your Mightyena have intimidate. Wild hordes should only be summonable by Honey or Sweet Scent, otherwise it’s regular/SOS.
Yeah no idea why they made them all so low level.
Haha yes I didn’t get a good screenshot, a little wayward but I found the tweet quite funny
What. The. Hell. There are like 12 of these guys. Please let these be hordes.
I need these games to leak so I can find out if totem Salazzle is post game only. If it is then I’m using a new team, if it isn’t, I’m using my old team again but perfected
I have a feeling these totem Pokemon will be a lot like Zygarde. Meaning–collecting each sticker and getting the Pokemon after fighting it.

Total corruption

This bring me to the fact of maybe they did bring back particular old spots and maybe some new places where Legendaries also reside
I feel like meowstic is one of those Pokémon that is probably one of my favorites but I always forget how much I love it https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ef91d25cc1316b419596c958a596f4e65a331e4aaebb20164d4fba2b62a009d5.jpg
Meowstic is pretty good actually. It’s a shame it’s outclassed but it’s feasible
Honestly, same, only Male tho
I feel it’s safe to assume that these games will be longer and harder. Considering the fact we’ve seen trainers with more Pokemon than before and at higher levels, I’m sure we’re getting something with a decent difficulty spike.
Have they confirmed any returning Totems? Just realized we know we obtain Gumshoos, Salazzal and/or Lurantis, but we do know Salazzal has been replaced… Will all Totems be replaced? Or maybe a select few will
Either way I’m more hyped than ever
We’ve seen Lurantis and Kommo-o’s cutscenes
Guesses:
Giovanni
Mega Mewtwo (X in one version, Y in the other)
Maxie/Archie
Mega Camerupt/Sharpedo
Faba
Mega Slowbro
Lysandre
Mega Gyarados (confirmed)
Not sure about Cyrus or Ghetsis because none of the unused Megas really fit and we see Cyrus using normal Houndoom
What if they used Megas AND Z moves. My goodness there are gonna be hard battles..
Maybe it’s before he mega evolved the Houndoom
It’s using a move
All I want is a finger gun trainer pose ingame
Please GF
THIS IS ALL I WANT
Did you say gun? Censor this NoA please
NoA censoring died after Bayonetta was put in smash
Bayonets in smash is still one of the most amazing things Nintendo has done this decade honestly
And publishing Bayo2 when Sony and Microsoft turned it down
Omg this is what you were on about I love it
I TOLD YOU OH MY GOD
Okayokayokay this is my favorite thing in any pokemon game and I NEED this as a battle trainer pose
The battle agency is such fanstory fodder rich and I absolutely adore it
I will not lie, this is… Amazing~
I guess there’s little to complain about now, we got a pretty kick-flank game development in this one~
I am most excited to fight Ghetsis again, who will be your baddie rival in this game, deers, if you had to pick one of the major villains?
Archie, he wants to expand the sea so naturally that’s a huge no no in my book
You mean he DID it
Ya boi Guzma of course
He held two grunts back with his bare hands
He’s not really a villain by the end by the looks of it tho
Oh I know
But he’s still my rival once he stops. Gotta have somebody to train with yknow, like a sparring partner
Definitely Lysandre! I know a lot of people hate him but as XY were my first pokemon games (I know go ahead and kill me) he holds a special place in my heart as the first team leader I took down
Ginger wolverine hitler!!
*theme music starts to play*
Cyrus, he’s kinda against all my Ideals
Ghetsis, the guy had a mental breakdown that we’re seemingly going to gloss for some reason.
Hmm Cyrus probably
Just realized something about USUM, it doesn’t happen in the ORAS/XY universe. Just ask me why
Confirmed/likely totems for USUM:
Grass-Lurantis (confirmed)
Fire-Marowak
Electric-Togedemaru
Fairy – Ribombee
Dragon-Kommo-o (confirmed)
Probably washi cause lana was there
Could be replaced but personally I doubt it, I’m just saying stuff from trailers
No way, Ribombee is Mina signature I don’t think it’ll be a Totem. But at the same time AloWak was Kiawe’s signature in Sun Moon and it’s a Totem in USUM.
You kinda contradicted yourself :p
Also you see a Ribombee in Mina’s house in one of the new trailers
It may just be her partner, it looks too small to be a totem anyway
Probably because base Ribombee is only 8 inches tall
Is Silver canonically Giovannis’ son? Think he could appear somewhere like Red/Blue?
It’s canon thanks to the Celebi event in HGSS. I’d love if he showed up, even as a cameo and then in the tree.
The tree was my main thought. I wonder how old he’d be. Also it could be an opportunity to bring Gold and Kris in.
Just watched the other trailers on the JP channel and I have got to say that there is one thing that these games make me feel very cloudy about… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7d979a4ca1a95c0e01832ca341bdb61a7c5f64d2e0b3874dd817e83f34c06e8d.png
..What the fudge Hau! You are supposed to be our rival and you are hiding behind the heroine/using the heroine as a shield, and right in front of her brother as well. I can’t tell if Gladion is shocked at what has everyone’s attention or if he is about to jump Hau. I would in his shoes. For shame! Hau. For shame!
Actually I think he’s trying to comfort Lillie ;3
Maybe he’s trying to get closer to that flo-
I’m gonna stop
That would probably still make Gladion jump him 😉
Would anyone mind? It fuels the ya-
Stopping again
I would still jump him if I was Gladion and Lillie was my sister.
My response down below explains my reaction
There will be blood.
;3
HOLY SH*T EXPRESSIONS
I kinda thought he’s comforting Lillie, my first thought was that Hau will be with Lillie in USUM
Partly ^^
I doubt it’ll be a relationship but I agree that it;’s a comfort
I REALLY want to be able to date characters in the game (totally optional, only around the characters age, and regardless of gender) so you can choose between Gladion, Hau and Lillie or nobody
I’d choose Gladion for the MC
Aren’t the trial captains around the same age?
Hmmm I guess so, but then I’d have to choose between Gladion and Kiawe and I don’t think I could manage
I’d probably choose Mallow.
Wait how old are team grunts again? Because if they were a choice…
Don’t think it’s stated because there are many. I think Plumeria is 19 but not sure.
And then what age are sun/moon
11
Well f me then
Lillie x Moon otp
More like Sun x Kiawe
He’s trying to sneak Nebby out of the bag, sly old Hau.
“Hoo-ee! Face your fear, Lillie! You gotta face your fear! I’m definitely not using you as a shield right now!”
Sums up my impression of Hau right now.
I hate myself now
Some part of my brain started shipping Hau x Lillie
We all know he’s really in love with malasadas
TARGET LOCATED https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3052be9d2c3b68443a748a302fbbf7eaf78d64db7ddf1aa20cace4a856d5af8d.jpg
HAU ATTACK MODE ACTIVATED
SAVE THE THICC
Time to get a labotomy
Can we all please stop projecting onto and shipping children
Thank you
Hau has ruined these games for me! I’m going to cancel the pre-orders that I haven’t made yet. (FROWNY FACE)
He giving you chicken skin?
Da f*ck is a chicken?
Goose bumps
Itsa joke. Hau said ”chicken skin” and there aren’t chickens in Pokemonm
Tf when your principle interrupts a class so he can talk about sports
Ok seriously? They’re seriously waiting this long to show us the new Alolan forms? At this point the leaks that had RR are VERY credible and really shouldn’t be doubted. They mention Alolan forms so where are they? I can’t believe TPC would wait this long to show us something that was generally well regarded. I wonder how many there are if they’re willing to hold off spoiling them until either the very last trailer or until the games come out in general. Either way they better be pretty amazing haha
Oh, simple
They’re pulling a reverse ORAS
Why show when a player can start the game, get to route one and srtersFDmhrtehfxbgctzsfdnxcgdfsghdfsfsdzcb vb when something comes out
I guess…..I suppose it’s actually better of them top hold off, but it really puts a damper on planning a team hahaha
But that makes things so much more fun!!!
Very true…..I always have this problem when new games come out. Do I go in 100% spoiler free, but have no plan of action or do I spoil myself so I can plan a team? It’s a very tough choice to make lol
I don’t think they’re a thing. I’d happily be proved wrong but we’ve had leakers with fake/innacurate parts before
We have had times with fake stuff sprinkled in, but at this point there are many credible outlets saying they’re a thing. They wouldn’t be in multiple credible leaks if they weren’t a real thing.
They could easily be playing up to fan expectations and getting attention by saying new alolans
Unlikely
This time there are two separate leakers-USUM wishlist and Chinese Riddler-that are mentioning Alola forms.
Everything this leaker has said was true… even the battle agency… I mean they didn’t outright name it but they mentioned a rental facility where you could use friend’s mons
After years of careful planning Ghetsis is thwarted after he did all the work to get into and betray Rainbow Rocket. His plan failed, his life was basically a waste at this point. The eleven year old who beat him responds without a word
But with finger guns
Remember how in Emerald Battle Frontier we won a medal after winning a certain number of consecutive battles. What if the only way to get the Finger Gun pose is to win a crazy amount of battles in the Battle Agency?
Actually, if it’s part of a battle style, probably.
Just realized the all of the villains are in their original appearel. Does this means that this is in a universe where Maxie and Archie never make their “interesting” remake fashion choices and Ghetsis never has an aneurysm?
But that is impossible! Ghetsis was born with one.
I drew Courtney. I think she has one of the coolest character designs in the series https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2d46fbe0b5df0756725ebe7ce31bc01a9928b782f51eb31fab74c1b6ced9aa28.jpg
Love her and shellys redesigns
Game Freak’s character designs just always get better. They are always some of the best IMO and they don’t get a lot of recognition
Really nice picture. But I will have to disagree with you about her having the coolest design.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/28848700159de17d7c3831757ae77260788d807532e124717ff1a4845ceb10a5.jpg
This is the reason why I disagree with you and why I am buying both versions.
She’s pretty cool
I did say *one* of the coolest
I just like the hood more anyways
For me I liked Courtney more for her revamped personality and dialogue.
Seeing as we likely only have one more info drop before launch, I want to share my opinion on this prerelease so far. So, to sum it up with a gif
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/abc9b13319201ae9a0cc35077667ff7f59d1eddd0a2f303202d777762a6821e1.gif
It’s been terrible. Don’t get me wrong, these look like good games, but I was only excited for then until now because they were new Pokémon games. Only the URS trailer, story trailer, and newest trailer have actually wowed me purely off the games own merit. Don’t get me wrong, I always thought these games would be good. But they’re being poorly shown off. Whilst it’s gotten significantly better, it’s still extremely questionable.
If Alolan forms are only revealed next week I think I’ll faceplant to Ultra Space
They’re almost definitely in the game since rainbow rocket was confirmed
Riddler:
“UB aren’t catchable. They are the true enemies in the story”
I’m not going to be surprised if they’re in, but I’m not too optimistic
The riddler isnt who I was talking about. The same rumor with the Alolan oddish had rainbowrocket
I know, I’m just giving an example of a reliable leaker being wrong
True, but literally everything else was right so I 100% believe it
I just don’t want to be disappointed tbh 😡
There isn’t much left to disappoint me really.
The beginning was atrocious, it steadily got better but mostly those points and the new UBs made me properly excited. Also the spelling mistake in that gif is very annoying.
Its definetly intentional XD

The fact that he doesn’t say “I’m Maxie of team magma” like he does in the anime triggers me
His hair looks like a weird hat.
