WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD! WARNING!
Users across the internet have begun posting images and information they claim to be extracted from the digital versions of Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.
Although we do not plan to cover major spoilers in the form of images from leaks this early, here’s what we know about USUM so far:
POKÉMON
- There are no new Alolan Forms
- UB: Adhesive evolves into Naganadel via level up with Dragon Pulse. Changing from pure Poison to Poison/Dragon upon evolution. A fast special attacker
- New Pokémon/Ultra Beast names are as follows:
- Poipole (UB: Adhesive) // Poison-type
- Naganadel (UB: Adhesive evolution) // Poison/Dragon-type
- Stakataka (UB: Assembly) // Rock/Steel-type
- Blacephalon (UB: Burst) // Fire/Ghost-type
- Zeraora (Mythical Legendary) // Electric-type, Fast and offensive with 600 BST
MOVES

OTHER
- Some music has leaked from the games, but we won’t be posting it here
- Ultra Space encounters aren’t shiny locked
- This has already been hinted at throughout pre-release, but it’s been confirmed that the worlds you visit via the Ultra Space have humans within them, and most can be battled
- Shiny hunters rejoice! The only things shiny locked are Necrozma, Solgaleo, Lunala, the Tapus, and gift Pokémon other than Poipole (highlight to view). All Ultra Space encounters are not shiny locked

- Team Rainbow Rocket’s objective is to rule the universe and build an army of Ultra Beasts
- Ash appears in the game code along side other NPCs, and may appear in game
- You are gifted a Pikachu that knows Surf for getting the top rank in all four Surf Spots. The NPC that gives it to you has a Pikachu that knows Fly
- The Kahunas in USUM are the same as in Sun & Moon
- The Elite Four in USUM consists of Hala, Olivia, Acerola, and Molayne
- The trials in USUM are the same as in Sun & Moon, except it adds on Mina’s Fairy Trial, and one “unknown” one (according to the game’s code)
- Mohn returns to the Aether Paradise
- Marowak, Araquanid, Togedemaru, and Ribombee are the new Totem Pokémon. The former three replace Salazzle, Wishiwashi and Vikavolt respectively
- You get Poipole as an in-game gift Pokémon
What do you think?! Leave your comments below!










is there a list of gift pokemon that have been leaked yet? I saw someone mention it earlier but i haven’t found a leaked list.
OKay it’s time for a rant
I Love EVERYTHING about USUM and my hype has been fullfilled. These will be my favorite games easily… but I have some issues….. That stupid pile of shitt Zeraora.
THIS ISN’T SONIC FORCES WHO SHOVED THEIR SHITTY SONIC OC IN A POKEMON GAME
MONO ELECTRIC
YET ANOTHER FAST YET FRAIL ELECTRIC ATTACKER
VOLT ABSORB AS AN ABILITY
THE FACT IT LOOKS LIKE A FURRY OC
THAT NAME SOUNDS LIKE AN EGDY FURRY
IT GETS ALMOST EVERY FIGHTING MOVE AND YET ITS MONO ELECTRIC AND NOT ELECTRIC FIGHTING WHICH EVERYONE WANTS
AND THE BEST PART IS ITS POKEDEX DESCRIBES IT AS “GOING BEHIND ITS OPPONENTS AT LIGHTING SPEED AND TEARING THEM APART”
WHY IS THIS LITERALLY A SONIC OC
Nothin Personnel kid
THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT IT IS!!!! IM CALLING IT OC
Well now I HAVE to get a shiny and name it coldsteel
Someone at GameFreak is a true DBZ/Super, Jojo, Sailor Moon, Love Live!, and Sonic Fan would be my first guess since XY.
It’s a sonic character
You know, now you said that, and me having Sonic Force, now I got to call it Sanic X’D
Indeed
I’ll need 2 as well, 1 is a Beatnik, and one is a Rastaferrian (please get the reference lol). Also with USUM, I’ll take 20.
I think it’s pretty cool personally (though otherwise disappointed as usual by the dearth of content GF put in, but not at all surprised), but hell, you lay down the truth right there
This thing is actually rivaling Incineroar for how much I dislike it holy hell I really thought we’d never reach this level
Are you talking about the new mythical pokemon? What does it look like
Love how it gets Fire Punch and Knock Off. Pissed it doesn’t get Foul Play. Comeon GameFreak.
Ok come on it isn’t nearly as bad as inceliroar
Bad*
But it’s such a disappointment Star-channnnn
I guess I’m just numb to it now. I’m just kinda sad about dragon thighs
That has been my favorite thing of this season. Easily top 5 mons for me
It’s cool but I’d rather have a cute dragon than a purple bee
BUT THE BEE IS CUTE ;~:
Ehh idk
HOW COULD YOU SAY IT ISN’T ITS MY PRECIOUS BABY
Same here. I still like it though
Which thing?
Zerazora
Lol get out Seraph, it’s amazing what are you talking about >:(
How’s that electric/fighting type treating you?
Sonic edgy oc
Nothin personnel metagame
Short anthropomorphic animal = Sonic OC now apparently -_-
Its dex entry states that it uses “LIGHTNING SPEED” to go behind its foes and “TEAR THEM APART”
Ok it’s edgy I’ll give you that
yeah…
I have seen quite a bit now regarding the leaks but I think that’s as far I wanna go. I’m considering a break until release of the game.
Honestly nothing else will leak. No one is talking about story but if you want to go I certainly do not mind :3
Haha who needs enemies when I have friends like you ?
I mean to be fair the only thing left to reveal is story and even I’m btfo-ing from that
oh yes totally like the story is the one thing I want to experience first hand!
Overall thoughts on USUM so far?
I mean until we’ve played and experienced the game we won’t know for sure but how does the package look so far from 1 to 10?
I’ll know today my boi
CAUSE I HAVE THE GAME
*evil giggling*
whut
I’m serious
Star knows
Whaaaaa :O
How is that actually possible?
Cia files!
Ooooooooooooooooooooh yeah i’m not anything like that near my precious DS
Its harmless and allows you to randomnize XY/ORAS/SM/USUM to make them more challenging
Citra emulator dude
nrrrrrrrrgghhhh no, I don’t trust most emulators all i need is my Visualboy and Project64 at least their safe and reliable
Would you actually buy the game tho ?
Of course, duh
It looks fine. Super confused about the fact that they didn’t make any new Alolans.
I’m mostly excited about ghetsis and not much else.
I can’t understand why they left the alolans out, missed opportunity but oh well.
Maybe gen 8 will have some similar s h i t
EVEN THO SEEL’S DEX ENTRY COULD OF BEEN AN ALOLAN
OoOooooOOoooo let me at the new dex entries
please
“It has always been supposed that Seel live only in cold seas. Their having shown up in Alola is a mystery.” idk if this a dex entry but still
well maybe it was a accidental migratory introduction, but honestly warmer water shouldn’t be a gigantic influence
I mean it could of had a Alolan Form tho
why though….it’s a marine mammal living in the water, yeah the water’s warmer, the only possible change is gradual decline in their horns since the lack of ice floes requiring their horns to poke breathing holes
DONT KILL MY IMAGINATION
But that’s logic and science’s job
Yeah no new Alolan forms makes no sense, it’s one of the biggest additions in SM together with Z-Moves and UBs (both these got new stuff in USUM)
Uh the leaks got me excited for a moment but I guess they’re good games? I mean, they’re most likely going to be better than SM but there isn’t really anything that has caught my attention yet aside from the music and new Pkms.
Still waiting for Switch ^-^
Now to wait for Amazon to allow me to buy US with my Amazon Card so I can hold onto it and my Rockruff till after exams. Ah Med School, love ya, but why ya gotta be like this XD
Really! I am applying to Med Schools right now. Would you mind if I asked which one you are attending?
For some reason the 3DS to cia converter wont work with the UM cia i downloaded, what am i doing wrong?
I meant cia to 3DS but my question remains the same
Is Ralts in the dex?
Island scan
Damn… got to breed one then
Lillie is a trainer in the story, she has a lv60 Clefairy. She’s also in the battle tree but ive no info on her team as of yet
my mistake reading this despite it being under a spoiler tag >_< It's cool that lillie's a trainer though, that's a really nice addition
THE MADMEN GAVE LANDO-T DEFOG
STOP THE MADNESS
yeah Defog is a move tutor move…….but it’s counterproductive……i mean its no different than a Skarmory body flying/mineral often defensive, always runs rocky helmet and carries stealth rock
i’d be terrified if it got roost
Yessss defog is a tutor move!!! That’s great. I can get defog lati@s and empoleon and others. Yesss
USUM competitive looking good so far
It’s scary and I wanna go home
Also Sticky web araq and shadow snek deci make me happy
not for me…..i got little to no upgrades other than Drain Punch Kommo-o and Bewear but the rest i’m totally effed in the A
Ikr, it was nothing bit buffs!! Pretty good. I’m.happy
I don’t know what my team will be anymore
Maybe I should stick with my all stars team but like… there are so many options
Kommo-o, Incineroar and Lycandusk for me so far. Probably Poipole too but its late game so im not sure yet
It looks like it is going to be for my US run…
Primarina
Alola Raichu
Bewear
Lurantis (Totem)
Mimikyu (Totem)-assuming it is isn’t eclusive to UM
Naganadel
*Not final but it will be a team with 4 Pokémon that I haven’t used before.

Ooh
ITS SO GROSS WTF GAME FREAK
HOPEFULLY ILL LOOK BETTER IN BATTLE BECAUSE THIS MIDEL IS UGLY AS HELL
EWW
What the hell its actually real?
ITS SO GROSS AND YES
The ability is false btw. It has ”Neuroforce” which powers up super effective moves & negates stat changes i think
Holy HEL AG AF
Omg that move name is so fucking weird, it looks like they translated the move’s name as literally as they could
This thing is a disaster
Idk I kind of like it
Seriously?
Look at it
It looks like nothing
It looks like light…
which is what it’s meant to be like yh its different but thats the whole point
I think you’ll warm to it eventually
I’d rather stare at the sun.
That thing has a lot of light coming from it!
I always hate ur taste
WTF is this Angel Yu-Gi-Oh…. THING? It just look likes an unfinished, ungainly mess? Like it’s not ugly, it just doesn’t look like it should be a thing? Imma wait till I see art and actual in-game stuff to form an opinion because like wut….
Everyone is getting the .CIA and playing…..Here I am just biding my time until the actual release…..lol Anyway I’m curious. This Friday we are supposed to get a new trailer. At least originally anyway. Idk if them taking down the announcement means anything or if it was a mistake, but I digress. What do you guys think will be the last tings they show given all the new info we have now? What do you think they were planning on being the last thing to get people excited for the games?
i kind of feel like they saw the leaks and took down the announcement?? i don’t know why they would do that but the timing seems like it
NECROZMA IS DAT YOU!?
http://pokemonzetaomicron.wikia.com/wiki/Divaevus
Not even a day after it leaks, and I already find Zeraora porn
yeah i say Adhesive r34 the day after it was released
F U R B A I T
Can we get normal art for once please?
OH GOD NOT THE BEES https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a05c54b3823fa32d22ecf4ebc126a7c96cbae67e45b40aa494ee7540aecf6257.png
THE BEES ARE IN MY EYES!!!!! SKHFSKHFKSDHFSKSFD XP
THANKS THIS IS AMAZING AND IT EVEN COMES WITH A NIC CAGE REFERENCE
😀 YAY
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cf8f612c3c19fb7596504b44eef52e39ad8db607faf028884afbf0eef8e9c0b8.png
Maybe it was for this best… this thing would’ve gotten the Goodra treatment
It looks like shiny Lucario and Luxray had a baby lol but i still love it either way
I’m happy with everything!! except 2 things (SPOILERS)
-no alolan forms? not suprising but still kiiinda sucks. I wanted alolan forms way more than UBs tbh
-get ash ketchum tf outta the game, he has his own canon and he should stick to it imho :/ it was weird enough getting Ash greninja in game. I know this is an anniversary tie-in but it’s weeeiiird
He seems to be a battle tree only character since I can’t find his team data
I guess that’s not *so* bad then. it’d be much worse if they tried inserting him into the story somehow.
Yeah why not new alolans really? They were super popular back them so it’s super weird for GF to stop making new ones :/
Pokemon evolving with regional differences is a totally awesome concept and I really hope they keep it for future generations. If it’s Alola-specific I’ll be sad. Like you say it’s super popular so it seems silly to leave it there.
Necrozma has such a strange and diff design but I like it. I’m eager to see it in the game!
They could make a piece of sh*t with eyes as a Pokémon and you’d love it
They could make objectively the best designed Mon ever linked to Sinnoh (you’re fav games) and you’d still moan, whine and cry
Idk it looks bland as hell, it doesn’t even look like a Pkm and has no charm to it whatsoever :l
That’s what I like about it’s design. It’s strange. Necrozma is meant to be strange right?
ITS GARBAGE ON PURPOSE YOU GAIZ
The image below lacks the outlines btw. This is what Ultra Necrozma actually looks lik https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9b487eb4c65bd0a670b24cf69364256fab7c1dd06e6b99329915b238f6d77e38.gif
This…..looks…..EPIC!
Wonderful. Love it
Oh NOW it looks better
Looks better than the ugly hideous Tsareena lmao js
Everything does
Haha my boy Kuppo! Well said
Tsareena has Power Whip now, so you better watch out! 😛
Oh I’ll be ready 😛
She gets power whip and punishment
How is that not fucking hilarious
Hilarious noo
Painfully devastating ah maybe
Okay that actually looks kinda cool… besides the feet which are out of place
If it gets a Figma, I’m buying that Day 1!
Wat he’s black not gold???
You do realise that the black is just its armor? Its literally a creature made of light
I know but it’s gold in dex
Its awesome how it’s basic light with an armor!
I mean…. it’s sort of better but not much
Wat r u talking about it’d perfect ….it’s god
that thing looks amazing
So did he only threaten Alola ?
I dont read story spoilers so honestly ive no idea
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfxU5af9sNs
OK NOW THIS I CAN GET BEHIND
Seriously, it’s beautiful
Notice, it’s head is the chestpiece on normal Necrozma, just as the prophecies foretold
guys where can I find info about the new move tutor moves and which pokemon can learn them, please? I don’t think I’m looking at the right text dump.
Subtract by one for each number

https://pastebin.com/4Ed04RB2
thank you kindly
So what megastones can we get in this game? Trying to decide if I am just going to sell my copies of sun and moon or not since I won’t play them once I get USUM lol
“SHITt man we don’t want another original dragon situation, NECROZMA needs a third form.”
“I found this drawing my two year old scribbled, does it work?”
“GENIUS!!!”
Seriously I hope it looks better ingame
Look below mate.
I just need to see the cutscenes and official art first. We know gamefreak has flubbed sprites before. DELPHOX
I’m so frustrated with myself right now. I’ve had a year to figure out what I want to use in these games and only now am realizing that the ones I’ve wanted to may not be the ones I actually do want to use….or maybe I do want to use them, but there are other I want more? I just don’t know anymore and am going insane I think……
Not really a year, more like five months
We’ve basically known that we’d eventually go back to Alola. It’s been a year lolz
Oh well, as for the last few times the dearth of new stuff means I’m really not feeling guilty for spoiling myself and avoiding in-game dissapointement.
The only thing I’m really excited to discover now is dex entries, anyone know if they’re out yet?
Yep
Sauce? :p
Your avatar is frustrating me to no ends…….
Sorry bout that heheh
its a glitch idk why it never fixed
Cuz it makes the avi stand out more :p
So, anyone know what is a good nature and move set for an in game Noivern? Plan to use one in Ultra Sun.
always Modest or Timid
Air Slash/Hurricane
Dragon Pulse/Draco Meteor
Flamethrower
HP Steel/Fighting
Thank you as always Earthen.
NECROZMA LOOKS AMAZING LOOK BELOW PEEPZ.
Also it obtains Dragon typing which fits it’s majestic design.
It’s not a bulky Groudon NOR is it meant to be a beasty Giratina or an ugly colourful Tsareena.
It’s based on light and some Dragon s h i t and it fits perfectly. IMO.
You’re trying to trigger me and it seems so desperate
Ahhhh..
I can smell the burning smoke
Lol
From yourself? That’s cause yer full of hot air dude
Dude I get you’re her friend but you need to be more objective. I’d like if we can be friends, don’t get caught in the storm.
Usually your passive aggressiveness is more passive and less “let’s insult one of star’s favorite Pokémon to make her mad with no subtlety or reason”
You’re losing your touch honestly
When you returned from your break you were actually really positive and I was happy to see that.
It appears you’re back to your old ways again. That’s cool. Keep it up.
Oh no I’m not a bitch, well I am, but mostly to you because your fake niceness and friendliness is so painfully transparent.
If you treat me with respect I’ll return the favour, heck I’ll be like your best friend here. Vice versa.
Ball is in your court fam.
Exactly what I’m talking about.
I don’t want to be your friend. Literally anyone else in here I would be friends with but I know what kind of person you really are and you are ridiculous for continuing to act so fake.
Fine if you don’t want to be friends that’s not an issue. If you change your mind I’m still here.
Otherwise feel free to do whatever you like. I’m having fun USUM is out soon, times are good.
