More new ones, including a ghost/ground sandcastle, dark alolan meowth, fire/ghost alolan marowak too.

Also we finally see the antagonists of Sun and Moon - Team Skull. You can see the grunts below the pink haired admin lady in that pic, they look like a cross between Neo Team Plasma and Team Aqua.

New Japanese trailer for the above, showcasing Team Skull and new Pokemon, including the Electric/Psychic Alolan Raichu!

English trailer too. I think the Japanese one uses Team Skull's battle music where the English one uses their overworld theme:

"Palossand loves the vitality of Pokemon and drags small Pokemon into its body so it can steal their life force. Its sandy vortex swallows them up in a heartbeat! Pokemon dragged into Palossand leave traces of their ill will behind. It's thought that this negative energy may be the starting point of new Sandygast..."


That's official artwork and that's.. something.

I'll probably hunt one of them down just because. I might get lucky and find a Shiny, that would be awesome. And that artwork of the poor Pikachu being swallowed by death sand, freaky. I'm having Mummy flashbacks now.

New trailer!

Japanese trailer too, it has a fair amount of differences including more cutscenes, I'd definitely recommend giving it a watch too!:


The latest Pokemon Sun & Moon trailer has been released. This trailer reveals more new Pokemon and gameplay mechanics. This reveals the Ultra Beasts including one called Type: Null with the ability Battle Armor
The next is Dragon type Jangmo-o with the abilities Bulletproof and Soundproof.
Alolan Raticate was also revealed. It too is Dark/Normal-type with the abilities Gluttony and Hustle
It also revealed that Sun & Moon are 12 hours apart, showing that Totems of Gumshoos and Alolan Raticate vary based on time.




Next it also announces the Aether Foundation, led by Lusamine, who run the Aether Island. Aether's Branch Chief is Faba and Wicke. They face against Team Skull, who also have an enforcer named Gladion
You also have to look for Zygarde Cells which get sucked into the cube. With the PokeFinder, you can also take photos of Pokemon
Finally there's an Ultra Beast called UB-01


I'll just add that the Pokemon's name is Type: Null - it's actual typing is Normal. As for the time of day - Pokemon Sun uses the same time as your 3DS clock, but Pokemon Moon is set 12 hours ahead, effectively meaning day and night are reversed in Pokemon Moon.


This Pokemon wearing a mask has been dubbed 'Null,' meaning nothing. The shapes of its front and hind legs are clearly different. The reason is that Type: Null was constructed to synthesize the strengths of various Pokemon, enabling it to adapt to any situation. The mask fitted to Type: Null's head is a piece of equipment designed to control its latent powers. It's extremely heavy, so it also serves to hinder Type: Null's agility. To complete a certain mission, there was need of a Pokemon powerful enough to rival those Pokemon often spoken of in mythology.



UB-01's body is composed of a glass-like substance. However, it's constantly changing shapes, never settling on one. While evidence of something like a survival instinct can be observed in UB-01, no one knows whether it has a will of its own or any emotions. It's said that, for some reason, its movements resemble those of a young girl.


The Ultra-Beasts were also translated as 'Ultra Chimera' in French, so possibly UB-01 is another artificial Pokemon. Although it's currently unknown if it even IS a Pokemon, since it lacks any listed typing. Some are a bit suspicious of the Aether Foundation too, and noted physical similarities between Lusamine, Gladion and Lillie.

Another new Japanese trailer. Lots of nice looking visuals here including stuff like riding a Charizard. There's also a brief shot of what looks like Professor Oak with a dark skin and long hair... it's his cousin, Samson Oak.

New stuff! Rockruff's evolution and two apparently alternate Ultra Beasts.



The name of the Pokemon Rockruff evolves into is Lycanroc and has a different appearance based on if it evolves in Pokemon Sun or in Pokemon Moon. It notes that Rockruff becomes the Midday Form when bathed in the rays of the sun and when full of the night's power, it becomes the Midnight Form.

Midday Form has the abilities Keen Eye and Sand Rush and can learn Accelerock, a priority Rock move. Midnight Form has the abilities Keen Eye or Vital Spirit can can learn Counter.



There are also two Ultra Beasts called UB02, UB02 Beauty and UB02 Absorption.
In the scan, it shows UB02 Absorption appearing in Pokemon Sun, facing off against Tapu Koko and UB02 Beauty facing off against Tapu Koko in Pokemon Moon.


It was said that Rockruff shares a secret with the starters, which might be split-evolutions based on daytime. As for the Ultra Beasts, Beauty looks vaguely roach-like, whereas Absorption looks like a mosquito swollen with blood...
