The Pokemon Company International and Nintendo revealed new information for the latest games in the Pokemon franchise, Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. The games launch in North America on November 18 and are available exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.
Newly revealed Pokemon include:
Passimian
Type: Fighting
The Teamwork Pokemon Passimian attack by throwing Berries at their foes. They tend to live in troops of 20–30 Passimian, who all follow one leader. These tribes work in teams to train and improve their skills. This Pokemon has the Ability Receiver, an Ability which no previous Pokemon has had. With the Receiver Ability, Passimian can inherit the Ability of an ally who faints in battle. Passimian only appear in Pokemon Sun.
Oranguru
Type: Normal/Psychic
The Sage Pokemon Oranguru live in the solitary deeps of the Alolan forests and, in fact, were once known as ‘the people of the forests’. Oranguru hold a fan-like object made of leaves and are known to be kind to other Pokemon in the forest, often giving injured Pokemon medicine or hungry Pokemon food. This Pokemon can exclusively learn the new move Instruct, a move which can make the selected target use its most recent move again immediately. Oranguru only appear in Pokemon Moon.
The previously revealed Puppy Pokemon Rockruff can evolve into a different form depending on whether you are playing Pokemon Sun or Pokemon Moon.
Lycanroc (Midday Form)
Type: Rock
In the world of Pokemon Sun, Rockruff is bathed in profuse amounts of solar energy, and Solgaleo’s influence causes this Pokemon to evolve into Lycanroc’s Midday Form. This form is known for speedy movement which can confound its opponents. A very loyal Pokemon, Lycanroc Midday Form dodges opponents’ strikes whilst attacking with the sharp rocks of its mane. Lycanroc Midday Form can learn Accelerock, a new move unique to the Pokemon, which is guaranteed to strike first, damaging opponents by slamming into them very quickly.
Lycanroc (Midnight Form)
Type: Rock
In the world of Pokemon Moon, Rockruff is bathed in an abundance of lunar energy, and Lunala’s influence causes this Pokemon to evolve into Lycanroc’s Midnight Form. This Pokemon will sacrifice its own safety to strike down its foes. The stronger an opponent is, the more excited Lycanroc Midnight Form becomes, its eyes glowing with the thrill of battle. This Pokemon feels a deep trust towards a Trainer who can draw forth its true power.
Two new Pokemon-specific Z-moves were also announced for some fan-favorite Pokemon:
Pikachu
Exclusive Z-Move name: Catastropika
Pikachu’s exclusive Z-Move, Catastropika, is a super-powered attack move where Pikachu borrows its Trainer’s strength, wraps itself in extra-high-voltage electric power, and charges into its opponents. This is Pikachu’s most powerful attack.
Eevee
Exclusive Z-Move name: Extreme Evoboost
Eevee’s exclusive Z-Move, Extreme Evoboost, gathers together Sylveon, Jolteon and more – all of the eight Pokemon that Eevee can evolve into – and grants their powers to Eevee. This highly powerful move raises Eevee’s Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def and Speed by 2.
The popular character-customization feature makes a return in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. Personalize your character’s clothing, hairstyle and eye color as you venture through the Alola region. Now, you can even dye your fashions to change their color and make sure you pull off your favorite look whilst out adventuring.
The Pokemon Refresh feature lets you care for your Pokemon. After a battle, Pokemon can sometimes end up rumpled and dirty. Pokemon Refresh lets you clean them up, care for them, feed them Poke Beans and even cure status conditions like poisoning and paralysis that were inflicted on them in battle. Pokemon that have been looked after in Pokemon Refresh can grow very affectionate and will battle to the utmost for you. This means that sometimes they may avoid attacks from opposing Pokemon or even hold out when they’re on the verge of fainting. Take good care of all your Pokemon in Pokemon Refresh, and they will be great allies on your adventure.
The Nintendo 3DS downloadable software Pokemon Bank, an application that enables players to put Pokemon they’ve been on past adventures with into internet-based storage boxes, will be receiving an update in January 2017. This update will give the Pokemon Bank application compatibility with Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon and include a new National Pokedex feature. The Pokedex feature reads saved data from any compatible titles you connect to Pokemon Bank and collects information about all the Pokemon you have caught. You can then check out all of this information in the Pokemon Bank application and even see Pokemon that don’t natively appear in the Alola region. Poke Transporter will also be updated to make the Virtual Console versions of Pokemon Red, Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Yellow compatible with Pokemon Bank. This means that Pokemon players caught in the VC-original Kanto games will be able to be transferred across into Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon.
