I don’t use caps in titles very often, but when its the release day of a new Pokémon game you better bet I’m keeping my pinky close to the CAPS LOCK key to shout about all the GREAT NEW STUFF waiting for Pokémon fans. After months of eagerly anticipating the enhanced version of last year’s hit titles Pokémon Sun & Moon, it’s finally time to dive into Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon!
Now live in Australia, Japan, and mainland Europe, the games will be debuting soon elsewhere. And fans are encouraged to share their progress in the comments below! Please be respectful to fellow fans and refrain from sharing spoilers about the storyline.
If you have QUESTIONS or want a more organized and DEDICATED DISCUSSION SPACE please be sure to check out our forums! You can request trades, battles and more! Click here! Our main page works a little different than most sites and aggregates new discussions so you can see all the great topics right from the get-go!
I would also like to take time to remind everyone in our Disqus community down below to please treat your fellow trainers amicably and be polite. When moderating I never like to take a heavy-handed approach, but please do not make me get out my ruler to smack knuckles. Keep discussions appropriate, don’t insult people – All those great rules for life you learned back in primary school 😉 I know we can do it Junglers!
Love you all
<3 PJ
So hyped for tomorrow!
The full alola dex and more are now on Serebii
Note Baltoy and Golett are exclusive to US and UM respectively
Awesome, it’s gonna be a fun trip~
“Rubbing its fleece generates electricity. You’ll want to pet it because it’s cute, but if you use your bare hand, you’ll get a painful shock.”
So if I died in Pokemon, this is how it would happen
“It has a habit of storing things it values in its water bubble. If its Trainer doesn’t watch out, Araquanid will try to put them in its bubble!”
This is both adorable and scary at the same time
I still want to run an experiment on Dewpider and Araquanid’s bubble
Like is the water bubble viscous or watery, like if you stuck your hand and tried grabbing the water, and what holds it together
Hmmm
Well at least we know the bubble is water
To actually think tomorrow is the day, I still remember the days everyone was hating the game and going crazy from lack of news
So why the actual hell does flygon get wood hammer?
Does it finally get quiver dance?
Unfortunately no
So Flygon still sucks and is knockoff garchomp despite coming first
iT gEtS wOoD hAmMeR XdXD
ITs TyPe StIlL nEeDs To Be ReTcOnNeD tO BuG/gRoUnD
Agreed but this is what we’re rocking with
That’s why I’ll settle for quiver dance :/
Agreed… it literally gets a shitton of sound based move
Would love mega flygon that builds on that concept but eh
But gamefreak hates us
Maybe if we give our flygons wood hammer they’ll love us
Such a strange addition to its moveset 😡
I don’t know why half the things that got it did
To beat Milotic obviously
But it makes literally no sense.
Of all things
FLYGON
Wait, what? When did this happen
So Flygon is now canonically a siren of the desert
I accept this with open arms
I got very confused by the title because I was pretty sure it was a Thursday morning and not Friday
Can you trade totem sized Pokémon?
They’re tradeable and bankable, at least between USUM
I think some can also be in SuMo.
Awesome!! I hope someone wants to trade a totem Ribombee
Think that’ll be a hard one to trade for seeing as it’s the one you get for collecting all 100 stickers :0
Depends what you’re offering in return!
Oh that’s a totem now? I hope it’s a tough one.
Ooh might want to spoiler that BTW
Oops sorry. Edited
I’ll give you mine if you give me a Totem Kommo-o
Deal my dude
Thanks PJ we appreciate your kind words :]
Only a day left,I am sooo FRIGINN EXCITED!!
I’m still busy from the sea and land to space in Hoenn. Better be quick or I’ll miss the ferry to Alola.
See you guys later on ?

Serebii…. lay off the drugs
He’s not wrong? He listed all of the forms
Look at the stats and typings
Oh oops
Yep…
I love oricorio mega salamence form
Fire flying
Fire ground (Mega Camreupt’s stats)
Normal fighting (Bewears stats)
dragon flying (Presumably mega salamences stats)
New forms with ‘special nectar’.
Ayyy
Why the fucc does HAWLUCHA GET WOOD HAMMER
And Flygon does too!
Anything new on Arcanine???
Dragon pulse if thats new
Arghh no knock off??
It honestly doesn’t need it
Guess so what it really needs is some physical equivalent of quiver dance. Dragon dance!
It doesn’t, have you seen it in vgc?
Yeah. I meant for singles OU UU etc
It does good in VGC doesn’t it??
it’s the best mon in vgc outside of like Lando t
Wow awesome.
What makes it so good? Intimidate? Good movepool?
Both
Uhh what
Where are you seeing this
Serebii… they updated everything (And hillariously fucked up oricorio’s stats)
Flygon and Hawlucha get wood hammer for some weird ass reason
Wouldn’t of that got picked up earlier by the dataminers?
Yeah but I never actually noticed it until now
That’s impossible
But it does now
Litten literally lights itself on fire to shed its fur
Oh cool. Giga Drain is back as a move tutor. Probably will give that to my Volcarona this time around instead of roost
Deci gets it
It also gets the legendary WOOD HAMMER
It gets leaf storm too. Is special deci more viable? I feel like shadow sneak overall is better to go with
Wihtout a doubt physical is much better
Shadow sneak is great cause it’s more reliable than sucker
But its support set is nice now too
Still need dat leech seed? I feel like leech seed should totally fit it. Like it could shoot seed bomb arrows at the foe that will sapple its health 🙁 maybe it couldve even gotten another special move that does that. An arrow-based leech seed
Exactly….
“An Ultra Beast that lives in a different world, it cackles wildly as it sprays its opponents with poison from the needles on its head.”
Ooo Adhesive into that demented dark humor sh*t. I can roll with that
Welp so much for any usage aipom was gonna get in this game
Why?
Pretty sure its post game considering dex placement
Trade, Bank, GS VC transfer?
I mean I doubt half the people who wanted to use it will now
Probably not :/
*sigh*
So scizor gets wood hammer
Jesus christ this list is getting bigger and bigger
Voltorb gets wood hammer
Jk
It says klefki gets it too… this is clearly an error
Riolu gets Meteor Mash as an egg move now 🙂
I do not wanna mess with that
he’s already broken in Pokken
:3
He’s I think the best in the game from what I hear
Wait, really?
yep, general consensus puts him in the top 2 at LEAST
Wait nevermind
Apparently SOMEHOW serebii managed to switch Defog and wood hammer
Jesus christ how do you even make a mistake like this?
Sense has been made.
I can’t man
https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/931157915825856513
Because they’re basically the same move..
What
😀
So Serebii has listed Zeraora already, I thought he usually held off until mythicals were officially revealed? I remember Marshadow didn’t appear for ages.
Also just noticed he follows himself on Twitter…
Is Wood Hammer a new meme now?
Maybe so (Also, nice profile pic, haven’t gotten that far in JoJo yet, but I’m excited to get to it)
Nope,merrek made a mishap and somehow replaced move tutor defog with wood hammer so some mons who make zero sense for having defog are listed as having it on serebii
How is that even possible?
I don’t even know but I did some digging in and found out that’s the case
All male Pokemon should be able to learn Wood Hammer ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
CAN YOU PLEASE PUT IN EFFORT
https://mobile.twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/931084429627232256/video/1
Aww, that’s kinda cute
BUT IT’S SO LITTLE
LIKE THEY COULDN’T MAKE IT REACT A LITTLE MORE?!
It doesn’t need to :3
It just looks a bit lazy
I mean I’d love to be proven wrong but I feel like Assembly is a filler
It’s a stone wall
There’s literally sayings about stone walls
They could’ve went lazier than giving it a unique model posture in refresh
I guess but like it just feels lazy though.. I dunno..
That’s actually adorable
My Chromebook won’t load the page, can you DM me the image?
Its a video of amie assembly
It barely moves
Just send me it
I can’t rn
*refresh
Whoops
That’s kinda weird
For all you nerds like myself caring about moveset changes
https://serebii.net/ultrasunultramoon/movesetchange.shtml
Mr Mime literally got one moveset change
It now learns pound
Oh hell, better watch out!!
ZOINKS
RUH OH
Well this has informed me that in SuMo Bulbasaur learnt Vine Whip twice 2 levels apart which was stupid.
Drowzee learns headbutt twice
At least the levels were further apart, still pointless though. I really do wonder why they did that.
