New Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon news has come including a new Ultra Beast, UB Adhesive which is a Poison type.

There's also a new team called Ultra Recon Squad who dwell in an area in Ultra Space called Ultra Megalopolis. There are also various other areas to explore in Ultra Space.

Ultra Recon Squad's team members are Dulse, Zossie, Soliera, and Phyco with their appearances varying depending on the game: Dulse & Zossie in Ultra Sun and Soliera and Phyco in Ultra Moon.

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are out. Don't forget you can get the special Rockruff, and you can also use Island Scan to get the Kanto starters on the first island amongst others too.

Special Rockruff:
If you load up the game and go to Mystery Gift before January 10th 2018 then you can download a Rockruff. This Rockruff is unique in that it is, within Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the only way to get a Lycanroc in its new Dusk Form. It also comes with the Lycanium Z Z-Crystal which turns Stone Edge into Splintered Stormshards


-Melemele Island Scan
Charmander: Route 3, Sunday
Squirtle: Seaward Cave, Monday
Onix: Ten Carat Hill, Tuesday
Horsea: Kala'e Bay, Wednesday
Scatterbug: Hau'oli City, Thursday
Bulbasaur: Route 2, Friday
Litwick: Hau'oli Cemetery, Saturday


More info on how Island Scan works can be found here, though the Pokemon listed are for the original Sun/Moon:

Oh, one word of warning, there's a really nasty fight late game involving a rather powerful Pokemon. You'll know what it is when you encounter it. Using a Mimikyu with Toxic or Curse bred onto it will cheese it if you can't beat it normally. Having other Pokemon spam Protect can help you survive until it falls.

Alternatively you can bring in Zorua/Zoroark and a Pokemon weak to Psychic and have it mimic that to bait the Pokemon's Psychic attack which Zorua/Zoroark is immune to.

bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hidden_Ability_Alola_Starter_Pok%C3%A9mon_available_to_redeem

Hidden ability Alola starters have been released to those using Pokebank.

Players can redeem fully-evolved Alola starter Pokemon with their respective Hidden Abilities via Pokemon Bank. Opening Pokemon Bank with either Pokemon Sun or Moon and/or Pokemon Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon sends them to the deliveryman at any Pokemon Center by Mystery Gift.

Decidueye with Long Reach
Leaf Blade;
Phantom Force;
Shadow Sneak;
Brave Bird.

Incineroar with Intimidate
Fake Out;
U-turn;
Darkest Lariat;
Flare Blitz.

Primarina with Liquid Voice
Hyper Voice;
Moonblast;
Icy Wind;
Perish Song.


Long Reach turns all of Decidueye's contact-moves like Leaf Blade, Brave Bird, Shadow Sneak and Sucker Punch/etc into non-contact moves, so they won't trigger things like Iron Barbs, Rocky Helmet, Flame Body, Poison Point/etc.

Intimidate should be well known to people already (drops opponents attack by 1 stage when this Pokemon enters battle), and it helps Incineroar out immensely with its natural bulk and typing.

Liquid Voice turns Primarina's sound-based moves into Water moves, which turns Hyper Voice into a superior Surf/Sparkling Aria (doesn't cure enemies of burns like SA does, doesn't hurt allies, ignores Substitutes).
