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
- Mimikyu’s Z-Move is called Snuggle Forever // Physical, Fairy-type, 190

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
MAJOR SPOILERS (Highlight to View)

- 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!
Where can I see a picture of all the Pokemon in the Alola Dex in menu sprite form? Does anybody have a picture? Much thanks in advance. Just want to use this for team planning purposes.

Thanks so much for this!

a reason to never mess with my Heracross
Does anyone know if the Tyrantrum family is in Ultra Moon?
I think it’s US. I would like it to be wild somehow so I could catch it in a Heavy Ball but I won’t hold out hope for that.
Damn! I’ll have to get a friend to trade it to me then. Thanks for the information!
I mean I could be wrong. Also I can probably trade you one with its’ HA if you want.
I love Tyrantrum (if you haven’t guessed by my username). I was originally going to use UB Burst’s evolution but Tyrantrum changed those plans.
Do you want it now? Or wait for the game and I can trade you an egg?
Oh no, I already am talking to a friend who has seen the leaks and we’re going to plan a trade for when the game comes out.
My team for Ultra Moon is as follows:
– Rowlet (Never used)
– Tyrantrum (Used in X, would use in every team if it wasn’t a Fossil)
– Toucannon (Used in Moon)
– Salazzle (Used her in Moon)
– Ampharos (Used in GSC VC for the first time)
– Vaporeon (Used in Platinum)
Try to get a Jolly Rowlet.
who the freaking hell runs a choice scarf Magnezone
It’s a specialized counter to celesteela
Yeah but really Scarfed? I mean seriously
Did you get beat by one
Absolutely dismantled a impending sporing….RUINING MY ONLY CHANCE TO WIN
Alolan Marowak gets Icy Wind as a Tutor Move? Then why not Ice Punch too? It does get some really nice stuff though.
everything got icy wind
I guess you can justify this as it spins its’ Ghostly Club fast creating a wind of spooky chills.
Mimikyu(Busted): It stands in front of a mirror, trying to fix its broken neck as if its life depended on it. It has a hard time getting it right, so it’s crying inside.
same
The USUM Dex: SuMo on steroids!
Whoah, I have a new favorite Poison Pokémon.
Another interesting Dex entry
Omastar: Its heavy shell is thought to be the reason this ancient Pokémon died out. It’s apparently a distant ancestor of Octillery.
Interesting…
Yeah, they also pinpoint Shellos and Gastrodon as relatives to the Shellder family. It’s nice to see references to real-life phylogeny (minus the dodgy distant ancestor bit-that should be distant relative)
Tbf, seeing as Remoraid is a fish the relationship would still be dodgy anyway?
Anything on Tirtuoga/Carracosta? I’ve always believed they’re ancestors to the Squirtle line
It just talks about how Omastar is their prey
through bite marks in the shells
Is mega evolution going to be more accessible this game? They seemed to make a point of adding a decent amount of pokemon with mega evolutions…
So I think I may have a team that I’m ok with……. It goes Decidueye, Araquanid, Pyroar, Krookodile, Alolan Sandslash, and then one more I’m not quite sure on. I’m thinking a psychic type, but it honestly could be anything at this point. I think I have many if not all basses covered. Any thoughts?
Horsea and Scatterbug are Melemele island scan encounters. I know who i’m adding for early game team 🙂
Haven’t been following the leak news, but are these ‘third versions’, or do they change a lot more akin to BW2, or something in between?
In between, generally the same but a few Major changes
Do we know what level Poipole learns Dragon Pulse? My team will be Decidueye, Ribombee, Bruxish, Bewear, Minior, and Passimian, but if possible, I will have Naganadel replace Minior
Move reminder but you can also get it from a move tutor, whatever comes first in the game.
Ok thanks, because you get it Poipole before elite 4, I was hoping to use Naganadel, and it seems it’ll work out, as Move Reminder should be before Elite 4!
Roughly how long before do you get it?
I think someone said it was (please correct me if I am wrong) fight after the Necrozma climax.
Eh, that’s pretty late. Do you know what level they gift it at? I might Bank it and use it in another playthrough.
It appears that it’s after your first fight with Necrozma (almost directly before you go to Ultra Megalopolis)
Will bank be compatible with Ultra Sun and Moon when it is released?
If not it shouldn’t take too long for them to update it, I assume the already have it planned out anyway.
So USUM gives Technician AloPersian some interesting tools
Oh?
Mostly in game, but Icy Wind/Water Pulse/Shock Wave
Water Pulse, Icy Wind and Shock Wave?
Yeee
I think Kanto Persian got those last Gen.
But AloPersian didn’t have them
I know, I just meant that’s how I guessed them.
Have to say I’m still slightly disappointed with these games. The past month gave me a lot of hope, but I have to reconfigure my expectations again. Ah well, might get Skyrim on the side then.
WHY IS REGIGIGAS IN PU
Slow Start.
that’s bull, even with it it’s tanky enough to set up with Twave and Confuse ray
So assuming we get to see them, what do u think Poipole/Naganadel’s, Stakataka’s, and Blacephalon’s dimensions will look like?
I imagine that the Poipole/Naganadel will have some sort of Acid rain perhaps, and maybe trees that look like needles? Obviously a purple atmosphere. If any of them don’t have a dimension I think these are the most likely to not have them
Stakataka will look like a fortress (almost like Ruined Kingdom in Odyssey) with singular Cells and a few Stakatakas floating around.
Finally, I believe Blacephalon will look almost like a circus, but distorted, with dangerous stunts our trainers will have to perform (just puzzles really)
Idk if we’ll get to go to Poipoles as it’s a Gift which is a shame.
I agree these are probably what they’ll be, Stakatakas’ might be a forge type area.
I believe that Poipole is actually native to Metropolis whilst Blacephalon and Stakata are encountered in Alola, not Ultra Space.
*Megalopolis I mean lol
This is what I think too, but I would love to see their worlds
Iirc I think I saw something about Blacephalon and Stakata being from the same world as Guzzlord, but it could be just bs
But like, Blacephalon and Stakata are actually found in Poni Grove and don’t have themes mined for their worlds like the UBs from SuMo, and Poipole’s Dex entry is as follows:
Poipole: This Ultra Beast is well enough liked to be chosen as a first partner in its own world.
Which makes it seem like it’s from Ultra Megalopolis’ dimension
Has the full alola dex been leaked? That’s all I’m interested in.
All the mons added to the Dex: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4c3ef2a1f7569bccc3bd1a8c3140d418556bef0daa92d4ed494eb9df32b511ff.png
It’s also worth noting that Misdreavus and Murkrow swapped places
Cool to know. Also good to know that’s the only switch around for the dex.
kind of underwhelming honestly, where’s Joltik? Where’s tympole line? ducklett? Buizel? Hippopotas? Like come on. There’s a giant fucking desert Hippopotas should be there about all else.
Why is Zeraora not electric/fighting? It learns CC through level up & has access to several Fighting TMs like Bulk Up, Low Sweep, FB and 3(!) more fighting moves via Tutor. Swear GF hates us (us being electric users)
try being a ground user in this day and age….
You’ve had two dry gens after Gens III, IV and V pumped out ground types
Try being a Poison fan when most of your Pokémon are from the first Gen lol
least you have access to powerfully annoying Weezing and Venusaur and now you’re getting Dragalge 2.0
> Weezing
> Venusaur
Neither of which are OU without a Mega
Toxapex.
But they’re only run with a mega
and Nihilego and Toxapex, Gengar, M. Beedrill
Weezing doesn’t have a Mega
Mega Beedrill need a a Mega to be good
Nihilego needs to be a UB with broke ass stats and ability to be good
Gengar got nerfed
Toxapex is more because of stats and ability than typing, Water is a good defensive typing
Plus the fact that it is basically a shiny Lucario and Luxray lovechild
The mascot is Electric type, I doubt they hate you lol they just made a bad decision
If anything they hate fighting fans for not making it fighting
At least i get to spam Plasma Fists
I was hoping for Electric/Fighting or Electric/Dark.
Because Gamefreak hates dual electric types. Seriously go look at all the electric types available, more than half are pure electric. GF also is not the best at deciding types, we see this every gen -eye roll-
I mean yeah SuMo’s full of questionable type choices
Like Deci
Deci
And Deci ;p
Deci’s not even the least of their transgressions 😛
Oops I meant it is the least lol
*freakin a thousand coughs*TSAREENA*cough*
Yes. What do you think it should be?
Grass/Fighting
What Ultron said, Grass/Fighting. It’s a kick based character
True. I’ll also be forever salty about Florges being pure fairy. Ugh
It doesn’t bother me that much because the flower isn’t an actual part of it and it’s a symbiotic relationship, I just wish they conveyed that better or just made it part flower. It’s a bit wasted imo
I guess, but it gets so many grass moves.
So does Comfey.
Yeah but comfey is literally just holding a bunch of flowers. Florges is kinda fused with it/kinda not
*What Monkeyfuzz said, God I need my bed lol
Decidueye=deciduous (certain trees that die during winter) and eye
Just because they gave it a name that fits the type doesn’t mean the design does sweetie
Ghost is its secondary typing, so its probably not a real ghost but it possesses ghost like features or qualities
Sableye
Froslass
Aegislash
Lunala
Marshadow
All secondary ghost types, all actually have their design convey it
Thats why i said ”probably” not definite. There are exceptions
Nearly every Pokémon conveys its type well, regardless if it’s their secondary or not
What makes Sableye a ghost type anyway? I get it’s purple and everything, but it’s like a little gremlin that eats gems and lives underground. Odd concept for a ghost pokemon now that I think about it.
I think it’s either based on the superstitions of miners or the design just ended up looking like a ghost and they rolled with it tbh
I feel like Dark/Rock would be better, though I do love Dark/Ghost
Dark/Rock, Ghost/Rock, or Dark/Ghost are all amazing types tbh so I wouldn’t mind any way what it’d be :0
That said, I really want a Dark/Rock now :0
Same, thought that x4 fighting is unfortunate D:
anything that makes it frailer
Reminds me of this thingy i made once
A lot of my fakemon are transitioned from old drawings or even some lego bionicles i’ve built over my years
and i made this pitch black creature with black crystal like bodies with long claws and spines it lives deep deep DEEP underground and harvest energized gems that grant it a degree of geokenisis
ergo this would be a Dark/Rock type
We already have a Dark/Rock, that’s what Tyranitar is, although it’s types are reversed.
Because we already concluded that GF are either lazy or stupid when it comes to deciding types
Apparently there’s a legend of a ghost owl or something in Hawaiian lore?
True Dat, electric is my favorite type and there isn’t much to work with regarding double type.. Except lanturn we get next to nothing..
It sucks. I want like fire/electric, dark/electric, grass/electric to be types used on regular mons
WOAH, finally a poison dragon that isn’t Dragalge! That thing looks amazing, it’s nice to see poison getting love this generation.
Ultra Necrozma fainting animation is amazing!

I believe these are more exclusives just from what I’ve seen, these aren’t confirmed
UltraSun
Lileep line
Tyrunt line
Clauncher line
Golett line
UltraMoon
Anorith line
Amaura line
Skrelp line
Baltoy line
I’m pretty confident with Tyrunt and Amaura as they’re time based evos
And Aurorus still hasnt got Aurora Veil and Power Gem lol
Samurott got Sacred Sword eventually, we can still dream ?
But it’s still ugly and still isn’t water/fighting :////
Hopefully next gen then. But it will never be completely salvaged because its not Ice/electric like it should have been
It’s a Fossil, unfortunately they’ll probably always be part Rock.
It’s worth noting that Kabuto and Omanyte are probably version exclusive too but I have no clue for which versions
I think Kabuto US Omanyte UM.
Island scan reveal? I don’t want to know the locations, just what’s back from SM and what’s new in USUM.
Charmander, Squirtle, Onix, Horsea, Scatterbug, Bulbasaur, Litwick
Ralts, Spheal, Combusken, Honedge, Beedrill, Grovyle, Marshtomp
Rhyhorn, Swinub, Prinplup, Grotle, Pidgeot, Monferno, Axew
Eelektross, Aggron, Rotom, Leavanny, Chesnaught, Greninja, Delphox
Neato. The ralts line is surprising for being a split evo path.
All Pokemon with a mega are now obtainable in-game except for Diancie i think
Very cool. Allows for other non-mega pkmn to fill the alola dex
And Camerupt and Altaria I think.
Aw, bummer.
Oh and Medicham, Abomasnow and Audino.
Not that I wanted to use them anyway, but still 🙁
Idk all of them but some new additions include the gen 4 starters middle stage, Spheal, Scatterbug, Horsea and Rotom
Rotom?! A non-3-evo Pokémon? How peculiar
So not all megas will be in the game apparently. Oh well.
Edit: oops. Never mind. Didn’t see certain other pkmn in island scan
