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)
What do you think?!
So the rumours were right about Rainbow Rocket… the hell… Well I’m interested in seeing how that story works out. And no Mimikyu’s zmove reveal which is odd but ok. Totem stickers are pretty cool I guess seems maybe a bit op but eh. And it is neat that the legends can mega evolve or primal revert if they have the ability to. This also confirms though that this is indeed a third unique timeline. I kind of assumed that it would be but nice to know.
I could have sworn I saw Mimikyu’s Z-move in the Japanese trailer…
It’s pretty much just the same clip we’ve been seeing of it again and again, we still don’t have its name of anything
They didn’t make it a point so even if you it doesn’t count still.
Hey guys I have a Question should I change around some of my Pokémon Legendaries Lore to become more of a battle of good versus evil?
I also want one more opinion
Should I change my game to Pokémon Xenon Version? Or maybe Radon Version?
The names need to be relevant to the legends/themes in a way so it depends
The only reason Granite makes sense is cause the main legend is based on Gaia and its a Ground type (but it also changes form to be Ground/Fire and Ground/Ice)
Mine’s based on Gaia…
It’s called Gaiasis (Gaia and oasis)
Now I must change mine…
It is known as the Verdancy Pkm
It has existed for countless years giving life to nature, some say the entire Eyanu region was born from a egg it left behind which eventually grew outward covering the land in plantlife
But long ago humans with no respect for nature corrupted the land with foulness and from this atrocity ancient evil was born Toxigeddon which ravaged the land, in its efforts to control the arberration it lost its life and had to leave a new heir
A little update to the lore Toxigeddon was not its real name or form
The Toxigeddon you will know is created and named by the villain of the game Ilko of Team Quake, he used actual pollution instead of “malicious intent” https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/396e743d0ab96d934202729ac838f22a4fc8b95155a010ee9c3005b4bae13cfe.jpg
Eyanu region? All the regions have an o in their name. Why’d you deviate from that?
But what are their current lore?
To add on, what’s the current name? What’s the theme of the game (b/c obviously there’s a reason for choosing noble gases as the potential names)
It was called Granite Version
The theme was variety in climate as depending on early game options depends on it being hotter or colder
It was more to have the mascot change slightly to hold more qualities of light. Hence Xenon as I think it is the brightest element in the table
An all powerful creature that held qualities of the two types of larger climates in the region (Fire and Ice)
And an Evil demon spirit that’s main goal was to destroy the entirety of the region. Yet the game is only one version to keep it more focused on the first Legendary
I need to make better lore for my stuff honestly
I’m just spit-balling here, but I think the following is a neat idea. Keep in mind that I have no idea what your current plans are for the plot of the story.
Your main legendary (b/c I assume the “evil demon one” is a lesser legendary) is the fusion of two opposite elements (fire and ice). It could be that throughout the region, everyone knows stories of this divine, majestic being. But when you finally encounter it, it is torn, and ugly — think Kyurem Black/White. It has not found a proper way to integrate fire and ice without one trying to “attack” the other (fire trying to melt ice, water trying to douse fire). You could interpret this as a good (ice)/evil (fire) conflict within the legendary itself (alternatively, fire could just be the more hot-headed, rash side and ice its opposite; they don’t necessarily need to be good or evil. To be honest, I think good vs evil is cliche). It essentially has a split personality, and thus cannot become one whole entity. Upon finally helping it achieve this, it turns into the divine creature in the stories.
Hmm this definetly sounds like a good option for me I think I’ll try this out if you don’t mind me using it
Go ahead. I’ve got my own plot so I don’t need it 🙂
Thank you!!! This definetly helps me out
Maybe you should keep it, the environmental thing fits them more to me atleast

What’s happening here?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1b1c1b90fe90950b83e2f94192bf723236ce47201c626b2925a8fd1dbebfefb6.png
Scan?
Supposedly it’s rotomdex notifying you of a new encounter
Maybe anyway
Would have been helpful in SM with new pokemon not really here because its everythig weve seen before
Maybe is some sort of Dex nav like feature?
Which totem Pokémon do you want on your team?
If I can use Totem Lurantis then I’ll be so contempt lol
Same
Now I’m curious, will you be able to trade or battle with them online? o-o
Part of me thinks no but part of me also thinks yes
I’m quite conflicted on it
I mean, they do see Op but Pkm is not new in allowing Op things to be able to be battle with ( Ash-Greninja)
None, I’d rather have other Pokémon then them (mostly cause most aren’t my favorites in the region)
Kommo-o nuff said
I’ve made it extremely clear that Jangmo-o is the star of my story, a lost strong willed hatching stolen from his home, tenacious and headstrong with a passion for battling but he is not without flaws, he pushes himself too much and resists compassion from others, but in the very end when he is grown into the King he is destined to be he will be the light of hope in the ever growing darkness
Ribombee cos its my bae
https://youtu.be/zaZ73-U6TZo
Salazzle!
Togedemaru
we need a totem pikachu or a totem eevee now that i think about it totem eevee might explain this tweet https://twitter.com/Junichi_Masuda/status/925529817134465025
Side note I’m still in Hoenn better be quick or I’ll miss the flight to Alola.
I decided to WT and try and get hold of at least one Kanto/Johto starter. I thought it would be cool and diff to use in Hoenn main game!
Guess who I got??
Charmander?
Very close!
Squirtle?
Ahhhh.
You’re getting closer by each guess!
Bulbasaur! Cyndaquil!
You’re right! And wrong 😛
Yay! 😀
Bulbasaur :]
Pikachu
Nice try kuppo ?
A ratatta
Man I’ve had enough of all these Zigzagoons. A sight of a Rattata will freeze me and send me back to the primal age!
I mean I have one that has flame wheel
You do!???
Yeh
Theory: the reason we can catch totems now is because they’re actually treated like separate forms with separate (but better) stats now
When d’you think the data mining will start?
Not until a seller breaks street date
Early next week most likely, which is probably why they’re doing that trailer next Friday in the first place.
they are doing the trailer next friday because a tv show hits 1000 episodes in japan the day before
When someone uploads the game in the next which may be in next week
Once people get paid enough bitcoins https://media.giphy.com/media/13OigMK06u1WNy/giphy.gif
as soon as someone can crack the preload from the eshop which launched today
I am Agent F.
I..uh mysteriosly appeared today..
And..uhhh will disappear after next weeks reveal..
..uhh and Fedex will appear again..and uhh I haven’t took him hostage..
And just because I’m called Agent doesn’t mean I’m an Agent..and uhh..I’m not evil and..uh yeah..just pretend..this uhh never happend..I’ll just goo..yeah..ahemm
You suck
Don’t underestimate me fam
….
what are you on about
It’s called an awkward joke. I’m joking in an awkward manner intentionally with todays reveal of the Battle agency!
As stated by someone I know, they really missed the opportunity to give a lot of pokemon signature Z moves. All the exclusive moves alola mons only (in most cases) get would have made PERFECT signature Z moves.
High HorsePower
First Impression
Trop Kick
Zap Zing
Dragon HAmmer
Psychic Fangs
Anchor Shot
Ice Hammer
Multi Attack
Pollen Puff
Revelation Dance
Shadow Bone
Shell Trap.
I’m sorry but it was seriously a HUGE wasted opportunity, it would make alola mons stand out even more and give them a plus that helps out with their horrible speed. Alola mons have no megas so they already barely stand out as is. It needs something to keep them as strong as others, and even though Z moves arent equal to megas it helps.
So pretty much any new signature attack
?
That’s what I said, right?
Ok so I missed this earlier today (even though I was at home and completely free)
Overall nothing revealed here interests me all that much, but I just wanted to note Archie and Maxie looking a lot more like their original selves as opposed to their OR AS versions.
ORAS versions are better.
so ive been looking into this tweet im thinking totem eevee alolan eevee or a new eeveelution but im not sure so ill loeave it up to someone who can read japanese https://twitter.com/Junichi_Masuda/status/925529817134465025
Something is definetly on the horizon!
Isn’t it obvious? They’re going to reveal Luigi cap pikachu! But all jokes aside I think people are looking too much into this one.
not really zess im only looking into it because about 2 weeks before this masuda was posting eevee stuff like crazy and on the same blog the rocket information was hinted in he talks about eevee being a pokemon that hasnt changed in a while
We’ll hopfully they reveal a new eeveelution or something but as it stands I just don’t see them doing it now but maybe for gen 8.
So I would like to think that Gamefreak had evened out the number of Totem Stickers that we wouldn’t need in order to get Totem Pokémon. It is shown that we can use Totem Salazzle even though it isn’t a Totem in a trail anymore, and I am including Alowak and Ribombee in my the list. That would leave us with 8 Totem Pokémon in each game (since Lurantis and Salazzle are exclusives). 100/9 doesn’t really divide equally. Thus, they would need to make more Totem Pokémon version exclusives, more trials to have a change in their Totem Pokémon, Gamefreak doesn’t care about equal distribution of stickers between Pokémon,or we have more trials (least likely).
I am going to focus on the second possibility. Thus, assuming no more Totem exclusives, we would need to have 1 trial with a change in Totem Pokémon. We can exclude the Grass, Fire, Fairy, and Dragon trials. That leaves us with Normal, Water, Electric, and Ghost. I personally don’t think that Normal will change their Totem-just because that was already an exclusive in the early games. There are speculations that Togedamaru will be a Totem this time around so that will bring the number to 10 Totems per version. However, this is my opinion, I think that Gumshoos and Alocate will be exclusives as well-they have announced exclusives of Pokémon after revealing them so that is a possibility even though they haven’t revealed Gumshoos as an exclusive yet.
Thus, I think that Acerola will also have a change-up in her Totem Pokémon. In the Mantine ride reveal trailer they showed Acerola panicking a lot during the trial. It is my conjecture that a stray Totem-there is precedent of stray in the case of Kommo-o-had trespassed in the trial and challenged you. Now who would that stray Totem be? If the other parts of the rumors that we have heard in relation to RR hold true, then I think it would be Alola Parasect (Bug/Ghost). What do all of you think? I mentioned a lot of stuff in this post so I would be happy if you had any comments on any part of the three paragraphs.
I am now looking for where I saw a 100 Totem stickers and I can’t find that info. I may have assumed that because someone may have said that they are probably replacing the 100 zygarde cells…
https://twitter.com/prozdkp/status/926176706259574785
Yes
Im ashamed of myself
Good
What have you done Cyrus…
We all are
Don’t be. We’re all curious as to what JM is implying!
i need to know cyrus is are you giovannis clone or his brother
…
what
its the exact same sprite recycled down to the same lines in the same spot on the face
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4oo3IrDsKk
Wow…so because they are both middle-aged Caucasian males they look the same to you. Quite dissapointed in you ghost pheonix. (FROWNY FACE)
no its because if you put giovannis hair on cyrus you get giovanni its literally the only change
Just making sure that you are aware ghost pheonix, but removing a person’s scalp and exchanging it for another person’s scalp would be extremely painful to the both of them. Don’t do it. We don’t want you to ruin your life by being sent to prison at the young age of…uhhhh…anywhere between 7 and 67.
…. no
Love your new avatar! I’m certainly looking forward to battling him the most!
Personally I am looking forward to battling Giovanni the most, I wonder if they will shake up his team even further than just Mewtwo.
He’s my second. But I’m kinda bummed mewtwo wasn’t in his armor it would’ve been a nice addition but I suppose they’ve catered to meet so enough … I can’t help but think they missed a prime opportunity.
persian alolan persian
That is a possibility, and I do believe it is the superior of the two forms.
could also see nidoking again wait i just thought of something
And that something is?
chinese leak said a poison gen 1 pokemon would be getting an alolan form there thought was oddish what if its nidoking alolan nidoking…
I think it might have been a Gen 1 Grass/Poison Pokémon. Oddish line or Bellsprout line.
oh the translation i got says just gen 1 poison type
I a little confused on totem stickers. Do they only work on pokemon that can be totem Pokemon or can you use them to make any pokemon a totem Pokemon size? I think it’s the latter.
gift pokemon they literally fgift you the pokemon for the stickers
We’ll that sucks?
it really does
Well there goes my chance of a Totem Kommo-o with 5 3/4ths IVs in a heavy ball
well we dont know if totem status is breedable yet im assuming because they showed salazzle it might be breedable female only
Well I was assuming we can totem size our own Pokemon
yeah they slashed that dream rather quick
anyone wanna talk about the possibility of nidoking getting an alolan form and i dont mean a fake one like people have been putting places it if you remember is a gen 1 poison type as well
That would be amazing but what would an alolan nidoking be?
Nothing, don’t mess with perfection
fairy poison? ice poison ghost poison not to sure at this point
WHY EVEN SUGGEST FAIRY
i dunno I TAKE IT BACK GAMEFREAK do not make nidoking a fairy type EVER
Jeezus it’s like a second response at this point, change type immediately to fairy
to be fair fairy is the easiest to remember type because of what you just said
I really want the return of in-game events instead of being handed mythical pokemon and the like. Kinda feel it has more meaning when your actually able to “catch them all”
Event Wormhole where you are given a Cherish Ball before you enter and it is removed from you when you leave like Dream Balls in the Entree.
Maybe we’ll get something like that for gen 8.
Bit of Guzma https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/82eba13bf98b894b48e0c67993caecdf6e90ec89c82fdcdd6ddec73f5d4dea9d.gif
wait so is guzma helping us ?
No. Guzma is just doing what he does best. Being Guzma.
ima assume hes helping us the way he was seriously concerned about lusamine in SM maybe she gets kidnapped or something by RR
actually the leak said exactly that
said she gets kidnapped by name? interesting i just thought it said somoneone or sopmething egts taken from lilly
How many other people can hold grunts back with his bare hands to their face
giovanni
He needs a Mewtwo to be a threat, otherwise bring a dewgong
Guzma is a baws. And those grunts are pathetic.
Favorite grunt uniform?
Team Galactic
Aqua/Plasma 2
Rocket/Plasma 2
Plasma 2
Edgelord ninjas ftw
Skull
gen 2 rocket
Neo Plasma for sure.
Rainbow Rocket
go away rainbow grunt dont make me go get guzma im sure hes around here somewhere
No
Omega Magma
So presumably none of these Pokemon will get Alolan forms. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/114047f7eb2e7d9b6caf786dc0377b86d5acadd168c62e3ebf7fe303d00cbcaf.jpg
There goes my hopes of Alolan Incineroar
Pssssh lol
is there an image of the reverse side ?
No more pokemon are getting alola forms. MAybe just the rumored grass poison. Thats it
I severely doubt we’re getting just one new alolan lol, I think we’d get a small handful
Why would they only make on new line? That makes no sense. I’d be more worried if there were anything new on on the book, but there isn’t.
nidoking too maybe
why tho
Why not?
I mean it’d be cool but he wasn’t talking about wich mons could have cool forms
nidoking was missed by megas on purpose thats why they said it was too powerful as is so maybe it will get an alolan form then a z move
Is any Pokemon getting new alo forms?
Based in the credible leaks there are some coming
They’d have revealed them by now tho, just to hype up things and the leak got some things wrong
not true they could be saving some suprises for us to find on our own
Why would they do that tho, they don’t save up many surprises like that lately and showing them would be a great way to market the game. And alolans were a big feature in SM so it makes little sense to hide them in USUM considering how popular they were
20th anniversary plays a huge factor in this so there are bound to be BIG things we wont see until release day
This whole pre release season has been weird. You can’t really say it’d make more sense for them to show them off now.
I feel you’re too quick to condemn. The leaks have been incredibly correct up til now. Plus multiple leaks that are credible say they’re coming. I’d it was just one then sure, but multiple sources is a different thing
If it’s worth pointing out, no old alolans or on the cover either. It’s also worth pointing out Rayquaza probably ain’t gonna be in the Dex of 400 so some of these may be post game captures and Dex scan
Jynx, Arcanine, Ponyta and Psyduck could’ve been cool
Two of which wouldn’t of happened because they were already in Alola
There aren’t rules for that. Maybe in USUM something made them change
It just doesn’t make sense lol, they’re in the exact same environment as they were in SuMo
dont start
Yeah. I suppose it’s too bad tho
wait the book says national pokedex guide anyone wanna put money on getting the national dex?
Which Battle Frontier do you prefer? Gen 3 or 4?
PWT Gen 5
This
3 Easily. 7 Facilities. That actually affect the battle. Yes Please, and vary in difficult largely! Yes Please! Gen 4 is nice too, but Gen 3 boy it was good.
I liked Black Tower. BF is over rated
Wondering what other Island Scan we’ll get. I’d like them to become able to SOS call because ones like genderless ones would become available with their HA’s. Also odd that Gen 4 starters seem to be left out.
Something something Sinnoh confirmed
Unless they just left them out of the trailer because they already had Fire(Charmander) Grass(Grovyle) and Water(Greninja) shown. Also I want to be able to catch the Alola Starters wild so I can get Moon Ball Rowlet.
here we all are talking about US and UM but we have a problem someone needs to sub the original japanese pokemon anime its got 37 episodes subbed out of like 187 its sad
Are there not fansubs?
no they all only go upto 37 or 40 it really is sad we all hate on the 4 kids version but no one wants to sub the original
It’s not 4kids anymore. Also I thought most popular anime was quickly fansubbed these days. Not sure why this wouldn’t be.
It does look nice

By far my favourite UI of all time
It’s like the cockpit of a spaceship.
