USUM Pokémon Bank Support Coming + Release Goodies

It’s been announced that the latest Pokémon games for the Nintendo 3DS, Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, will be able to use the storage app Pokémon Bank at the end of November.

Currently you can import Pokémon from past games into your copy of Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon, but it requires having a copy of either Pokémon Sun or Moon from which you need to import them first. Depositing Pokémon will also become much more seamless, especially with new Ultra Beasts that are not compatible with the first Gen VII games. Pokémon Bank requires a yearly subscription of $4.99 to hold your Pokémon and may delete them if your subscription lapses. Please be careful when using.

For those who already have a copy of Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon, remember to download the event Rockruff via Mystery Gift! The little guy comes at level 10, holding a Focus Band, with the moves Tackle, Bite, Happy Hour, Thunder Fang/Fire Fang (Ultra Moon/Ultra Sun respectively), and is currently the only way to obtain Lycanroc Dusk Form in game. In addition, a special 3DS Theme featuring Dusk Mane/Dawn Wings Necrozma, accompanied by the main background theme for Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, is now available in the Theme Shop!

Happy USUM release! Excited to expand your Bank collection in the near future?

  1. So far the totem stickers have been far better than Zygarde Cells, you can start collecting them without backtracking to a whole other island and they’re distributed in a far more creative way. They’re also not day night exclusive so are easier to keep a track of.

  2. I’ve said it once but I’ll say it again, Totem Stickers are absolutely amazing compared to Zygarde Cells. I haven’t even left Melemele but I have 16/17 of the Melemele stickers, and the 17th can be obtained right after you get the fishing rod, meaning that you can polish off one island’s cells not even that far into the game.

      • Tbf it’s the smallest island, and because Akala has 33 stickers, if you collect all Melemele stickers and most Akala stickers you’d realistically have 50 stickers by the time you start Ula’ula.

        Akala actually has no stickers that require something you don’t already have, so if you’re being observant whilst playing you can nab Totem Salazzle before you hop off to Aether Paradise the first time.

      • I know. I am so sad about that. I had to replace my Kommo-o with Dr*nk Ubear the Bewear for my UM run, which I am not as sad about now because I now have a Pokémon on my team with an awesome nickname.

  3. Made it to Ula Ula!
    And one positive thing i have to say is that the games are harder than sumo, sadly still not any other major change yet.

    • They’re basically Sun and Moon but better. The beginning isn’t as much of a slog, the end portion of the game is way different in a better way. However, the middle feels almost exactly the same so far for me, besides some changes to trainer teams and totems which contribute to a harder game.

      It honestly depends on how much you like SuMo. There’s a chance they can fix some of your issues but if you’re unsure if just hold off until you’re in a better position money wise or just don’t buy them. They’re better than SuMo, but overlap a lot.

    • Playing these games is like having two kidneys. You have both of them but you can live with only one. Thus, go sell one of your kidneys and buy the games. (The opinion of an uniformed individual who has yet to play USUM).

  5. got three new fakemon coming your way

    first, a spilled milk jellyfish (ice-steel)

    second, a poison dart frog (poison-flying)

    and lastly, a spermwhale / lobster claw, an ultra beast with a bit of lore behind it, “it comes from a total seaworld, though completely sentient, it is rumored that it is the lost claw of a colossal lobster pokemon”, the spike on the side is the fin, the tail is the meat poking out of the arm when you crack it, and the stripe is a scar but also the band you put around lobsters claws so they snap at you, but its ripped off because of its strength (ghost-water)

    hope you all enjoy, i do spend quite a bit of time on these although they are just for fun and not to be taken seriously, theyre more concepts or ideas than full fledged pokemon ^w^

  6. Okay I’m just here to ask one thing (spoilers about the 2nd Trial)
