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

- 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

What do you think?! Leave your comments below!










Buneary is a 20% encounter on route1 😀
Star will be happy, me I’ll feed them to Litten
I actually have a story behind that
Speaking of Litten – Incine gets Power Trip and Knock off i think
Knock Off was inevitable
Is it true it also gets Fire and Thunder Punch? And also, have they found where the tutors are yet?
This shlub has the pastebin files in the links
Whoops https://youtu.be/byQbcmuaMaM
Yeeee
Longtime so seeeee! Anyone know any of the new stats?
Who the hell are you
lol
Just a sassy lil chespin awakening from my slumber
Gotta love people that think spoilers like X character becomes X thingy is a “small” enough thing that they just talk about it in the open……..
did Team skull Get a new theme?
So it’s time to decide my final team
Incineroar is obviously my starter
And Kommo-o as a Jangmo-o is a gift to me after the first trial
And honestly I’m having doubts about Dusk and kinda feel like maybe Midnight because I am just so much more compatible with it
And as for a Ground type either Sandygast or Mudbray
Golisopod is a must
And either just get another Crabrawler or Stufful or maybe try for a Dhelmise
You could do a lot of sets with Sandygast as I am aware, so I say go with it over Mudbray is you already tried Mudbray in SM. And Dhelmise is also good because of its ability, move set, and typing.
Decidueye
Noivern
Heliolisk
Ursaring (oh wow, two normal types) | Donphan (can’t decide)
Empoleon
6th pokemon depends on how I feel by the team I get to the last Island honestly.
Decidueye
A. Ninetales
Araquanid
A. Marowak
Minior
Toxapex
But I might replace Marowak and Ninetales
Incineroar
Alolan Raichu
Lycanroc (Dusk)
Araquanid
Tsareena or Lurantis, don’t know yet
Alolan Ninetales
Oh by the way, did the game revealed the origin of Z move ?
In-game trades: Hawlucha, Noibat, Barboach, Arbok, Phantump (holds Grassium Z), Shellos (Waterium Z) and Tauros (w Normalium Z)
I don’t want to know if it’s a real spoiling thing, but…….is that how we get those Z crystals rather than through the trials? Interesting if so. Means things are very different this time around.
Nah there are a few in-game trades in SM with Z crystals too. Think of Graveler and Bounsweet
Why even bother then? Once you get the crystals you can attach them to as many Pokemon as you want….lol
Just GF trying to encourage players to use corresponding z moves i guess
As if I’m gonna use a Grassium Z move on a Pikachu lol
Island scans:
Melemele – Charmander, Squirtle, Onix, Horsea, Scatterbug, Bulbasaur and Litwick
Akala – Ralts, Spheal, Combusken, Honedge, Beedril, Grovyle and Marshtomp
Ula’ula – Rhyhorn, Swinub, Prinplup, Grotle, Pidgeot, Monferno and Axew
Poni – Eelektross, Aggron, Rotom, Leavanny, Chesnaught, Greninja and Delphox
No Unova starters huh? Odd thing to do, but its interesting. Was hoping to use Sacred Sword Oshawott. Any word if its a level up move, egg move, or done via tutor?
Well my team took a hard left turn into insanity hahaha https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f143fee361e91029394786ae83257f990a34090faaa18202a19810d54cd2d6a8.png
Just asking, but from what was om Pokebeach, do we have more Trials now? Or just 7 again?
8 trials. Mina has one now too and there is an ”unknown” one in the games files so no one knows what that is
Maybe an event one reguarding our new Mythical? Nice seeing we got 8 now, I wonder which will go forst, Mina’s or the Dragon Trial.
Could the unknown one just be the dragon trial we had in the last game? That one didn’t have a captain so it’d make sense if there wasn’t any corresponding characters to go with it.
Makes sense, or perhaps its for Zeraora which i think wont be catchable yet but might be through a special event in 2018
I suppose I could see that too. Would be cooler if it was the second thing
It could be for the in-game event that occur if you bring an Ash cap Pikachu to Pikachu Village. Maybe.
Ok one more thing. As far as Poipole goes. Is it an earlier get in the game or late get. Like if I wanted to use it for the story would it even be worth it to hold a spot?
you get it after you beat Necrozma for the first time. so its not post game but still very late on in the story
Meh………
Okay awesome. As long as I get it before post game I am happy lol
.r.i.p my hopes and dreams https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cf8f612c3c19fb7596504b44eef52e39ad8db607faf028884afbf0eef8e9c0b8.png
The real one is cooler looking imo
Nah like it’s still rad af but I wanted it to stay cute
It’s in GF’s nature to change cute things into monsters for no reason XD
It’s my life struggle
Aww this one is so cute :3
I really wanted this to be what it looks like but deep down I knew that it would be all spiky and sh*t
Kind of a missed opportunity
i mean… you weren’t too far off! i prefer your design but the actual one looks cool too
I’m trying to decide if I want a shiny Poipole or not…..Do I go through the trouble?
Maybe worry about that when you get it, although I may….maybe try SR for a Shiny Stakataka
Are the UBs not locked? I thought only Poipole was unlocked
Only Zygarde, Necrozma and the mascots are shiny locked i think
yea you right
Tapus are shiny locked too
sadly
Oh, I hoped Zygarde wasn’t.
All UBs are unlocked
Well shit…..that’s a pretty big deal!! hahaha
Omg
YES
I CAN GET THE AWESOME PHERAMOSA
If you want to :p
Thanks for the help…..lol
do it my dude it’ll be worth it in the long run :p
Bongos tho?
Bongo Bongo
http://www.joshrivers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Link-vs-Bongo-Bongo-8×10-e1427160872976.jpg
Kinda looks like a demogorgon
Whelp I’m back to square one….now I don’t know what I want on my team anymore….there are just to many combinations and I have no idea what would be best for my team…..*sigh*…….
I’m playing the ultra sun CIA when I get home so I’m all good
Any idea where to find the CIA?
Nope. I’m just hoping my friend has it so I can get it from him
What the hell, surely this aint the in-game model? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7914262787ccdf144ab12dc90981fbe519bc08ebc2d90e025fa98ccbaf6a987a.jpg
Are there more apricorn balls!???!

I just noticed there are no dog pokemon in Gen 3. Hyena’s are more closely related to felines. Isn’t that one of the stupid pattern things GF likes to do? Regional dogs and cats?
If someone hunts me a burst I’ll trade a shiny wallboy
Really looking forward to some of the new locations they may have sprinkled in. Peeps hearing good things about locations and aesthetics of the region?
If I see Ash in USUM I’m snapping my 3DS in half
He’s your rival
please no
It’s the truth. I wouldn’t lie. ?
I feel like there’s no way they could make him look decent in the 3DS engine.
You can’t make him look decent in any format that isn’t 2D
Exactly…please keep him out of canon. They already started ruining that with pikashinium and sh*t
I’m on the other side of the fence.
I’m glad he’s got some kind of role in the games finally
He’s garbage
Red is ash but cool
I just don’t get how he could even exist? Unless he comes from an ultra wormhole -eyeroll-
Haha probably but do we have any idea what the hell his role is in usum??
Battle tree?? Post game??
Has anyone found Ash yet?
His name is in the list of trainers
I’d be over the moon if I see him
I’d be wishing the moon would crash down like majoras mask
The moon would bring all the stars down with it ?
No it wouldn’t that’s not how it works
You’d be the first to drop lmao
I think you missed the point completely
Nope
Pls let the anime things just be in anime, like ash-greninja never made sense in the games -_-
i couldn’t have asked for a better data dump :’0 I don’t even care that we didn’t get any alolan forms, everything else makes up for it, from the shiny hunting, to the story (even though i only know what the official pokemon youtube has posted), ahhhh everything is so good!!
whats the deal with the shiny hunting???
Lotta Pokes be unlocked
Oh yeah but has shiny hunting got easier or something like im sure I heard something about it??
Wait, Ultra Necrozma’s ability is overgrow ! That’s the grass starter ability which is way bellow Necrozma’s original ability.
Question: using gts, can you trade from SuMo to USUM?
Yes
Does quick link work with SuMo?
Thanks! That’s good because apparently you need both legendaries to get Ultra Necrozma and I’m getting Ultra Dum, so I was hoping to transfer Lunala
Sun* that was an unfortunate typo
Why wouldn’t you be able to?
Idk just checking
