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

- 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

- You get Poipole as an in-game gift Pokémon
What do you think?! Leave your comments below!
Not very interesting but I love this pkmn.
Golisopod: The shell covering its body is as hard as diamond. This Pokémon will do anything it takes to win.

Wat make love it more that he can meditate
If that all holds true…then the Global Pokedex goes up to 807.
Which means the very first Pokemon for Gen 8 would have the number….808.
Well played Gamefreak.
What’s special about 808
It has two 8’s in it.
…?
This y Ash still don’t evolve his Litten
Torracat: It can act spoiled if it grows close to its Trainer. A powerful Pokémon, its sharp claws can leave its Trainer’s whole body covered in scratches.
Is it true that Ultra Necrozma is part Dragon type?
Yeah
Oh wow. So Psychic/Dragon?
Yep
Alolan Raichu has probably one of my favorite Dex Entries now
Why?
I just find it funny. Especially how they use “hodad” in it
You know what? These dex entries (not the bloodthirsty ones) leave me sad cause they give so much personality and uniqueness to Pokémon, and the games don’t explore it at all.
How should they?
i don’t really mind that though. maybe it’s because i’m a really imaginative person, but the dex entries help give personality to the pokemon even without them doing anything in the game.
Growlithe dex entry is a missed oppertunity for water typing 🙁
Elekid: When it hears the crash of thunder, Elekid’s mood improves. It can be useful to record that sound and play it when Elekid’s feeling down.
awwwwww that’s adorable
Battle Tree spoiler question With Ash in the Battle Tree, how do they explain Blue and not Gary?.
Maybe this movie punk
Gary does exist in the new movie, he’s only seen briefly though.
They probably won’t bring it up. But what outfit will he have? Original series or the latest one?
I hope original.
That’s it F*ck! My head has some spoilers now!
For the first time in my time here. This will be Goodbye for a while! I’ll come back November 15th or 16th, but I’ll ghost a tad bit on non spoiler articles
So goodbye fellow Junglers!
wait does the movie have Gary in it
I think a fleeting cameo at the start.
That sucks
It’s literally 2 seconds iirc.
For a brief moment he’s their to get his Squirtle, but after he doesn’t appear
In fairness it does day it’s a spoiler article. Anyway, see you then.
Goodbye friend.
I’ll be taking a back seat too.
OOOAAAAAYYAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA I JUST TRIED MY BROTHER’S VIVE HEADSET ITS FREAKING FUN AS HECK
Someone give me a cia link
I’m triggered that Ash is in the game and not Misty or Brock aka actual canon characters
Should have all past gym leaders somewhere, like PWT.
Tbh I feel like that’s what the battle tree should be
Naga seems like its going to be an OU staple! I’m so hyped!
I thought you wasn’t a fan of OU???
I’ve decided to join Kurusu on a small hiatus till next week. Need to get through Hoenn and then get ready for Alola! Lots to do.
I’ll still be keeping an eye out but to all my friends, take it easy and see you on the other side! (Alola) :3
See you soon.
Here is the question that we all want to know.
How good is Ultra Sun Ultra Moon both story and gameplay wise ? Was it satisfying to play ?
Gah you beat me to it lol
So people that have spoiled themselves silly with the leaks. How’s the game looking? Good? Bad? Somewhere in between?

It’s ok
Better than SM in term of content, in story terms I’m not so sure cuz I don’t know anything about USUM’s story :p
November 10 was supposed to be the next day we get official confirmed info right? Which one of the leaks do you think it’ll be?
I’m hoping for an official look at Naganadel.
Thats the most likely choice. Either that or the Ash thing
Poipole? I thought everyone picks on the Poipole kids.

Okay! Spectral here! Starting a new thing! For each day I’ll cover a new Pokemon found in USUM and cover how it will work competitively (at least in my opinion).
I’m not always spot on but lets go!!
Today, I wanna tackle UB Burst, aka, Blacephalon
This thing is… interesting. It has garbage defensive stats but strong mixed attacking (127 and 151) stats along with a slightly above average speed of 107. It seems like it might be decent if it utilized choice items or a life orb. It’s immune to a majority of priority attacks but is weak to aqua jet (accelrock is on such a terrible mon it won’t even deal with it). The biggest issue it has is coverage. It gets fire, ghost, dark, and a single rock and a single psychic type move: That’s it. It can run a few interesting physical moves like knock off but in most cases the special set is superior. Here it can run moves like heat wave and shadow ball. It also gets calm mind but the actual amount of times you will get to set up are nearly non existent. Considering the thing dies so easily, it’s fair to assume Mind blown will be fairly viable. It also gets a few status moves like Will-o-wisp. I can see this Pokemon ending up in UU. It’s not able to do very much but it’s extremely potent at the things it does. I imagine the lack of coverage will hold it back from being anything too impressive.
Next Pokemon: Stakataka
Feel free to add thoughts or critique
Seems intresting. Kind of a niche
Yeah :3
It actually reminds me of Xurkitree a lot but a tad worse
why do i have the auspicious feeling that Stakataka’s review will be several paragraphs of you sh*tting on it constantly?
I’m not… Actually I do… have an idea of how it CAN work… just… it requires a WHOOOOLE lotta stretchin
It’s just gonna be Chandelure 2.0
Chandelure runs energy ball as well
And this is faster which lets it outspeed more threats. It’s basically like a strange wallbreaker
yeah but i’m not too worried, Crawdaunt eats this thing easy
Yeah that’s a huge issue for this thing. I actually think Suicune is going to be the number one counter for this. Or any assault vested mon. Psyshock is basically a necessity on it
when doesn’t that thing counter anything
I truly hate Suicune
Hmm, it seems like an interesting Pkm but as earthen said, it’s a little too similar to Chandelure.
Also, it’s hard to get used to the name Stakataka lol
So, it’s the first time we have two Pokémon (in this case, two forms of Necrozma) on a main game cover, right?
B2W2
I mean, in exactly the same cover. In Ultra Sun we hava Dusk Mane Necrozma and half face of Ultra Necrozma.
Oh… I mean… I guess?
Black2 and white 2. But this time they actually gave it a third form. I’m still mad we don’t have what the tao trio originally looked like when they were originally 1 entity
I’m actually super curious how the role of Necro’s hyper giga therian explanded ultra form will work in the story
Lusamine slapped it and it took the idea of a ‘shiner’ too literally
So Assembly has earthquake and gyro ball as tm moves. At least it’s got that I guess…
UB assembly is… oof
i mean the design is alright but like… it has such a terrible move pool and such badly balanced stats
i hope somebody can pull a Pimpnite and actually make it good >.<
I have an idea
Wait till tomorrow
……Liquidation’s a Move tutor move……..
I CAN GIVE IT TO BARBARACLE
Let’s just hope it can learn it
never would i have to risk Razor Shell missing
