General

A couple of new Ultra Beasts have been revealed (UB-04 Blade and UB-04 Blaster), along with another mystery Pokemon with a connection to Solgaleo and Lunala.




Also there have been a number of game leaks. I won't be posting those to avoid spoiling things for people... but I will reveal all of the version exclusives as none of them are currently unrevealed Pokemon, and they can help people decide what version they'll get.

One last new trailer! This features the starter's Z-moves, two more Ultra Beasts, and Alolan Diglett/Dugtrio.



UB-03: Lighting


UB-05: Glutton



Alolan Diglett and Alolan Dugtrio. You may have spotted the latter in the Sun/Moon demo, and both are Ground/Steel type. They can both can have either Sand Veil or the new ability Tangling Hair as their Ability, which lowers the Speed of a Pokemon that makes contact with it by one stage. Their hair is actually a reference to Pele's Hair, which are strands of volcanic glass: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pele%27s_hair

Lastly, a special QR Code for the Mythical Pokemon Magearna will be made available via the Pokemon TV app starting December 6 for PAL region games. No details on the availability of the Magearna QR Code for American region games have been announced. This Magearna is level 50, holds a Bottle Cap, and knows the moves Fleur Cannon (deals damage and lowers the user's Special Attack by two stages), Flash Cannon, Lucky Chant and Helping Hand.

Pokemon Sun and Moon are officially out! Many places have it now, and it's also available on the North American eShop.

The first gift Pokemon for the games is available now too:

Mine's still in the mail

I have finished both Sun and Moon now and am currently trying to fill the four island Poke Dexes. Did you know that there's no National Dex in Sun and Moon? Some people were saying that it might come out with the Poke Bank upgrade that's due to come in January but I don't know about the truth regarding that. For now, let's just call it a hopeful rumour. There are some mini events that require transfers of other Pokemon and one I want to do needs either a Solrock or Lunatone, both have to be transferred into Sun and Moon.

The Magearna QR event has now been released world wide - beat the Pokemon League and and become the Alola Region Champion, then check the below link and scan in the QR code for your region to get Magearna for Sun/Moon.

That's not all - you can also get Meloetta for X/Y and OR/AS via Mystery Gift until December 24th 2016 -



- and you can also get Arceus via code for X/Y and OR/AS if you didn't get one earlier this year. In North America, this is through the code ARCEUS20 and in Europe it's through the code ARCEUS2016 and these codes can be redeemed until December 31st 2016.

Oh, for those who played the demo and want to use their Ash-Greninja in-game, you have to transfer the stuff via Professor Kukui in the demo. Also Ash-Greninja will not obey you in the main game until you have beaten the first two kahunas.

One last reminder that the Meloetta event ends on December 24.



Meloetta can also use its Relic Song to change between its Aria and Pirouette forms in battle.
