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
- Plasma Fists – “The user attacks with electrically charged fists. This move changes Normal-type moves to Electric-type 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
MAJOR SPOILERS (Highlight to View)
- Necrozma has a third form called Ultra Necrozma. It transforms into this third form after using it’s Z-Move as Dusk Mane/Dawn Wings Necrozma in battle
- You battle Hau instead of Kukui for your first battle as Champion
- 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!
Araquanid
Bug bite, Signal Beam, Magic Coat, Iron Defence, Icy Wind, Snore, Giga Drain, Water pulse, Magic room, Wonder room, Liquidation, Laser Focus
*sad sigh*
Is Laser Focus new?
No it was already in SuMo
No , just barely distributed
Isn’t M-Rayquaza still technically the highest BST in the game?
It is, 780
Ultra Necrozma may have slightly less bulk and like 13 less offenses but it is much faster
Yes but it’s only as good as is now because it can freely use items
We don’t know what Necros ability does so
saw it somewhere saying it boosts super effective moves
So it seems Incineroar got a ton of move tutor support gaining theee important moves in superpower (not like that does much), Drain Punch (which it’s not strong enough to utilize), and knock off (which is now probably going to make it a good bit more viable)
Lurantis gets superpower
Let the fun begin
and power whip+punishment
Y I K E S
Evil team leaders will have legendary pokemons
Why the hell does it seem like my faves got cheated out?
To be fair I got leaf storm plus the one move I rallied for , for like, ages so I got that
Sorry to bother you but I saw you were the first here to say Flygon gets Quiver Dance but I’m not seeing it anywhere on the pastebins
Mind sharing your source please?
Shadow sneak Decidueye is pretty awesome though. We can always hope for leech seed or whatever in the future
Need help in clarifying something because I just woke up. Saw that Molayne replaces Kahili according to the post, comments are saying that is wrong and that Molayne replaces Halawhich is true?
He replaces Kahili
Nope. He actually replaced Hala. You can still fight him post game though
He replaced Hala. here: https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/210930-pokemon-ultra-sun/75968200
So I keep seeing people mention that Flygon gets Quiver Dance yet I don’t see it on the level up, egg move or tutor pastebins
Can someone direct me to a page where this is shown please?
And if it’s false can someone just tell me?
They gave Toxapex Knock off …. sweet god in heaven… it’s over
magic coat and gunk shot too lol
How is Dusk Lycanroc’s star ?
Lycanroc Dusk
Rock
Tough Claws
HP | 75
Atk | 117
Def | 65
SpAtk | 55
SpDef | 65
Speed | 110
Total | 482
Any improvement in his movepool?
Gets both Accelrock and Counter
Move Tutors: Covet, Iron Head, Drill Run, Earth Power, Iron Defense, Last Resort, Zen Headbutt, Hyper Voice, Iron Tail, Snore, Endeavor, Outrage, Stealth Rock, Stomping Tantrum
Dusk Lycanroc’s star is even lower then ordinary Lycanroc, does he has anything special?
Tough Claws
Does it make him any better then other two Lycanroc ?
Yes because Tough Claws powers up moves that make direct contact and Lycanroc is a physical attacker
Doesn’t boost Stone Edge or Z-Stone Edge though
Accelerock and some tutor moves do
Stone Edge doesnt make direct contact
Does he learn any claw move at all?
What about regular lycnrock (day for) does it get anything interesting?
I just can’t see myself giving Dusk Lycanroc using Stomping Tantrum, however I would definitely give it to Midnight Lycanroc. I will most likely give mine Accelrock, Iron Head, Zen Headbutt, Rock Climb
THE CHAMP THEME MY GOD
So without spoilers how are the games looking? Cool? Also anyone have a list of the Pokedex yet? I’d like to see what I’m working with this time around.
Some of these leaks seemed really farfetche’d. I mean I guess they could be possible but it doesn’t seem likely
Huh? You mean from the article? If so it’s all real. It’s stuff that’s been datatmined from the games. The games are out in the wild now and hackers are at work to unravel every single thing. They’re not rumor they’re facts lol
Poipole has a spot on my team (and probably everyone elses). Slightly disappointed in no new A. Forms but its ok. Im surprised about Riombee and can only imagine how strong its gonna be in battle cause its pretty damn good without being a “T”
Hearing Poipole is a post game gift. Sucks if true
Gift for sure, dunno if postgame
this was said in the above article
also should’ve been fairly obvious given it’s a UB
the post game part I mean
According to Reddit you get it when you beat Necrozma a first time before you go to Ultra Megalopolis, so not post game but still very late, with any luck it’ll be high leveled enough to be useful
I know now that it got Sticky web Araquanid is gonna become a HELL of a lot more usable
I wonder how Deci will do with its new moves…
How about some story spoiler? Is the story any good?
we don’t want story spoilers here
just moves and stats
The main selling point of USUM is the story, we need to know if the story is as good as the trailer.
Then go somewhere else to find story spoilers. These comments should be free of major things like that. (For the record I’m not telling you to leave leave or being mean. I just mean literally there are a bunch of other places explicitly spoiling the story and you should look there if you want those kinds of spoilers lol) XP
What was with the Z-crystal twitching in the very first trailer? Is there anything special with Z-power ring?
So where’s the list of updated moves and egg moves?
I am a bit disappointed.
No new Alola Forms.
Just 3 new UBs.
Necrozma forms have poor stats in speed and defenses. DW is basically OU already.
Necrozma 3rd form is meh.
Move tutors are basically the same as ORAS.
The story is not that different as GF said.
They revealed all new z moves.
Zygarde still shiny locked.
Ash is in the game.
I like the new mythical but not really impressed about all the other stuff.
I need to see more of Ultra-Necrozma beyond the I-don’t-know-what-the-hell-that-is-mess that we curently have to form an opinion, because I’m glad they went with the concept but I don’t know what to think about it’s appearance.
Zeroara is pretty cool but like WTF why, Naganadel looks amazing
The lack of new Alolan forms is sad, infuriating, and insulting tbh, poor effort. Especially since they directed efforts into a pretty unimpressive number of new Z-moves instead (and like who cares).
Do we know enough story beats to judge at this stage?
As for Ash, I hope it’s some sort of interdimensional easter egg, as others suggested… At this stage I’m a bit sceptical/worried
But then again this is exactly the kind of maddening half-assed weirdness we should all be accustomed to by now. I’m pretty disappointed, but not surprised, at all. I hope they put a little more coherent effort into Gen VIII.
Still, the games will be great, just not what they could have been.
Sorry this is coming off rude for me to ask again, but does anyone have a dex list? Not the national one. Just Alola’s. Preferably in island order, but if it’s just a list of names in general then that’s ok too lol

You’re a mensch and a half
NOOOOOOOOOOOO THEYRE LETTING PIKACHU KNOW SURF NOW IT HAS A VIABLE GROUND COUNTER INSTEAD OF GRASS KNOT
Haha tough luck blood
Wait what? Are you telling me I can get alolan raichu with surf?
Yes and those jerks on showdown can put it on it now ugh
I am happy about that for simple in game team lol very rarely do online play
Is it confirmed that this Pikachu can evolve? Because its a special gift like Cosplay in Oras
I mean you can probably evolve it, and with showdown if the Pokemon learns any attack even by event it can be used
Like I had the unpleasant experience with dealing with a Heal Bell Articuno
You can run Gastrodon or any other pokemon with storm drain. That would give you a Pikachu/water counter. =)

I’m not
Would have loved if Vikavolt learned Lock-On and Zap Cannon. Thing is a god damn Railgun GameFreak, make it act like one lol
The more I think about it the more I think I may breed my team (minus Rowlet). There are certain moves I’m gonna want on my Pokemon that I do’t think they’ll have early on so it may be to my advantage if I do so. Hmmmmmm

Drain Punch
Iron Head/Ice Punch/Shadow Claw
Also Crabomniable got iron head too
But do I want to make a Physical Kommo-o?
Dragon Dance

Iron Head
Kommo-o (M) @ Normalium Z
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
– Close Combat

GG EZ 😛
It’s good but it needs two full turns of set up
true but Z-Belly Drum lets it recover some HP at least
Could go max HP, max speed instead since you’re going +6 Atk
Ehhhhhh I’d replace CC with Drain Punch because speed and recovery are prime
I’m just very excited to use Bewear with Drain Punch
Bulk Up stacks with Fluffy and once it has that boost nothing can physically touch it then I sap health with drain punch
Ffs and i bred two special Jangmo
Special gets Clangorous Soulblaze tho
Unless you wanna replace Outrage with that
