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

- 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!










I just saw Monkeyfuzz video on discord ……I am not surprised that Zeraora looks really cool.
I love it so much.
I love it. Love how it’s hunched over in battle. Even though I love incineroar I think it would look better if it did the same
SO we’re any pokemon buffed?
Or nerfed?
Oh dam it this’s looks very dragon now. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1510181991991.png http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1510184693874.png
Honestly if you were to ignore the Thorax it isn’t bee-like at all.
I won’t Sticky to evolve at first but now I am in love with this design
It’s very cool and powerful looking imo.
I absolutely love this ultra beast! Easily my favorite and if I can get it prepost game it will easily be on my team!
Within the location area of the game files, there are listings for Spear Pillar, Skyarrow Bridge, and Lumiose City along with a few other past locations… what could this MEAN?
can you post?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/19f51a55f0fb0bf7a404773f2ba01b43b65ddeff15091a939e15ae88f56a1c9e.png
Maybe those are the fighting locations for some legendaries?
Likely so, but it’ll be REALLY cool to see these areas remade!
seeing as there are 6, my guess would be the previous antagonist battles. Each one you highlighted is one location from each region
Except Sinnoh
oh youre right. i missed one considering 2 teams in hoenn.
Spear Pillar is in Sinnoh
WHOOPS LMAO
That’s how you know I didn’t play the games
I assume Bell Tower is for Faba
lmao I knew it!!! dicie confused me when he said there was no sinnoh then when i read the locations back i thought sky pillar not spear pillar.
Maybe these could be simulations. The areas are recreated for the antagonists as those areas were the turning points for their plots (Though that begs the question on why you’d be fighting Maxie in Seafloor Cavern as well as Ghetsis on Skyarrow Bridge and not the Unova Pokemon League)
Wait, is Medicham in the game?
I really wanna know more about the gym place, but I’m not sure that’s out there just yet. Any clue?
Does anyone know if it’s been confirmed when you get Poipole in the game? Whether it’s after or before the story ends.
I am a little confused. I for one do not care about the leaks. But im surprised nobody is using spoiler tags. Not everyone wants to see all the details. People seemed to use the tags last night.
I’ve been using them mostly.
In fairness, this is clearly a spoiler article. I mean, we usually don’t stick to topic but I think it’s safe to assume that there’ll be spoilers in the comments.
but as you said, usually nobody sticks to the topic. so now its like forcing people to stay off the site all together. Nobody is commenting in other articles so the fact that usually people just chat about anything and now there is nowhere on the site to do that without being spoiled, its a little annoying. For the discord server, I immediately made a pokemonspoilers text channel specifically for those who do not want to be spoiled since it is then your own choice whether you want to be spoiled or not
HOLY HELL ON A HALF-PIKE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i49NbIHFKbI
Holy shito but this cloth shouldn’t be that fixable.
That’s pretty cool, and I guess cute too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5o3SPEC9rk
Zeraora looks SO much better crouching down like that instead of standing like Incineroar. Game Freak still knows what they’re doing sometimes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWpWGVE6PUE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMH3FBT6kPw
Ooh, that’s super cool
This pkmn have nice cry and nice signature move. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMH3FBT6kPw
Damn, this thing is cool.
hey please
can someone gimme the link of the pokedex data for both games?
thanks so much in advance!
https://pastebin.com/a72Xmhm5
This?
Thanks!!! do you have the ones for the other game? don’t know if this is for ultra sun or moon!
Idk, I found this because someone else linked it, and idk if they have entries for the other version
Thanks anyway! I do think there are different entries ‘cause I’ve seen someone posting different ones from the one you sent me… We’ll find out soon enough!!!!
Now I want to know y U.Necrozma have black armor in the model and gold one in the game …it could be Xerneas like I mean the neutral form …..maybe but I want the real answer.(I Like both)
another thing did notice this prism in front of it …..at the beginning I thought the model kinda messed up but if u watch USUM intro this prism is should located in mascots forehead but where’s the right place of this model in the ultra form.
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1510163531625.png
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1510182141161.png
The one with black armor is so much better.
Black is my favorite color but this gold one looks godly and majestic.
Ok, after the video you posted above, I agree! lol
Yeah, it was a mistake if they didn’t include that black version in the game.
Unfortunately it’s not in the battle at least ….but where’s is this image came from if it shouldn’t appear in the game?
As I expectedit’s kinda like neutral form when u beat it it will appear by this way I am happy now
Some gameplay here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cet3j-vvgko
Finally looks at this cry I still want the black one though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZselruGrb0
0______0 I don’t think that wingull just merely fainted…..that was nothing sort of a Supernova
Its a freaking light Genkidama!
I think this green sun is related to dusk form Lycanroc
Wow, that was awesome
I don’t want to watch this yet, but how does this form work? Does Necrozma use the Z move and then it transforms it?
It transforms, then uses the Z-Move
Makes sense to me. Is it a form that stays or only during battle? I saw some screens of it in a box, but I’m not sure if that was just hackers forcing it like that or if it’s actually capable. Sorry for asking question when I suppose I could just watch some stuff. I’m just trying to stay at arms length from this stuff. I’m ok with knowing it exists, but I’d like to see it for myself when the games come out.
I’m not sure, sorry
It’s all good. You’ve be a very big help
Now that I see it in battle….I don’t know how much I like it. I really don’t like its stance.
Thanks for spoiling the image of Ultra Necrozma with a youtube video cover…
I think this article have spoiler warning + this thing is show many time here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqjb2vEIW4I
This is so good
http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1311849-pokemon-sun-and-moon
We can probably get mega accessories from slain users
Didn’t people think this like the last three games and really it turned out to be nothing?
they’ve been in the coding since oras
Alright everyone I’m gonna be throwing 3 different teams at ya’ll. No particular order. Tell me what ya think and which you would pick. Also suggestions are welcome. Wanna pick apart these teams and make a new one? Let me know what that frankenteam would be lol https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1da3e2aef9e8c6875573bdef2833cef3d6722203b5d5b0667207779fbba59b2e.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b20f995c47dfc795e5c6ae534d58deb9f3c1fc1bd8676544402c99b15ef8c79e.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/acdb185dab9d1cb196c34e99f0c177cae9d30848cc53565849f8227060ebb734.png
The next dex is up?
I guess so. I didn’t even realize actually until after I posted this and looked at my pics
Is it bad I wanna use Poipole?
No I kind of want to use it too, but I think you don’t get it until later in the game when it’s almost too late so I’m not even factoring it in……….Tis sad…
This is my planned ideas.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1def740869ef759d76e718290462968f6bf7aed7a2a88c78c6c24a706f1c3666.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/370ff6b37dd0f9dfa6ae66fb59e2efab60d6c68d11318284b88ea664e15bf7e4.png
Cleary you can see I have 5 main members already
I can also see that your avatar is Poipole. I have a feeling I know what version of the team you’ll be using haha. Anyway, but yeah I really wish Poipole was gotten earlier. At least I don’t think it’s gotten very early. I barely looked at that part. I would really have liked to use it. Maybe I could for a second run through? idk……
if u wanna know you get it right after the nercozma fight
That’s so late……I’d want it on my team for a long time haha
Yes it is!
I’d go Decidueye, Araquanid, Duskanroc, Krookodile, Bewear, Alolan Marowak/Sandslash.
Hmmmm Maybe that could be cool. Although there are some things I’d need to consider. If I put in Dusknroc and keep Marowak, getting rid of Sandslash, then I’d need to figure out dragon and fairy types. If I get rid of Marowak then I REALLY need to be careful of fighting types since 4 of them would be weak……Hmmm I may go with Sandslash actually. You’ve given me something to think about thanks! lol
Decidueye is immune to Fighting and can learn Brave Bird. Bewear can have Ice Punch. Marowak can do alot to Fairies since it resists them, it can also have Iron Head if you really need it, but you likely won’t.
I like team 3 but switch A.Slash for Skarmory but you have 2 ghosts with Deci and A.Whak so maybe take out A.Whak and put in Skarmory and leave in A.Slash
But then what do I do about Dragons?
I had to edit my response lol
Hmmmmm that’s an interesting suggestion as well. I want to use too many Pokemon…..this is my problem isn’t it? hahaha At the same time I like keeping a cohesive team all throughout my playthroughs. What’s a guy to do. Thanks for the thought tho. It’ll definitely help
I realized that you also suggested mimikyu and then thought of just switching pyroar for A.Whak but that would have left you with 3 ghosts. So maybe team one but switch out Pyroar for A.Slash. Plus Krookodile does learn a few dragon moves if i remember correctly (havent used it since gen 5) so itll give you coverage if you decide to not have A.Slash/Mimikyu
I’m digging team 1. I like Skarmory thrown in there
THE NEW CHAMP THEME IS SIIIICK! OMG I LOVE HAU!!! Shame on all you who voted him out!!
Oh shet looks its ya Boipole https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/30cee2a570ac9d341c78853649e837c8c3dccb55512617068986835646d0fd77.png
https://richi3f.github.io/pokemon-team-planner/#incineroar+lycanroc-dusk+bewear+golisopod+palossand+kommo-o
What you gonna do about water and fighting?
meh it’s not like i’m gonna be in any danger
Wow, a team switch from Earthen. Such Diversity!
Earthen only likes what he likes, and besides it’s not like i’m not gonna like using them
i considered Vikavolt, Dhelmise and even Alolans Marowak or Sandslash
Vikavolt is a fun Pokemon to use. That said you gotta wait until near the end of the games to get it, but certainly worth the wait.
nrr maybe……..i might spend an hour SOSing one to see if i can flush out a Shiny
You got a living dex? I’d say trade over stuff before going for shinies in a new game
me a living dex? neva
I’ll just play how I wish
Just trade it over to sun and moon, evolve it, and trade back. No one wants to wait that long. I’d say upon reaching ula’ula would be good to evolve charjabug
Actually you might be able to get one earlier through Totem Stickers (speculation).
Hmmmmm
Does anybody have a link to the new dex entries?
https://pastebin.com/a72Xmhm5
I want to see Ultra Necrozma in refresh
But it’s a temporary in-battle form, can you see it in refresh? Maybe at the end of battle?
I bet it will have black armor then
Looks like Mimikyus’ only Tutor move of note is Drain Punch, I felt for sure it would get Knock Off.
drain punch on mimikyu? That’s odd
I thought that, I think it might be useful though for both healing and against Normal, Steel, Ice and Rock types (it already hits Dark super effectively with Fairy of course).
True. It’s only a good thing for the lil spook.
