New Pokémon Sun and Moon Video Shows Off More Info!

Another new video for Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon was released today on Pokémon’s official YouTube. It was chocked full of lots of new info, so let’s get started!

More Alola Forms!
Alolan Raticate appears, it is Dark/Normal type, like Alolan Rattata. Alolan Raticate will be the Totem Pokémon for Verdant Cave in Pokémon Moon, an area where Gumshoos was already revealed to be the Totem Pokémon for Pokémon Sun!

Brand New Pokémon
The first new Pokémon shown off was the mysterious Type: Null, a Normal type. The helmet on its head is said to control its latent powers and hinder its agility.

The second new Pokémon shown off was the Dragon type, Jangmo-o!

A 12 Hour Time Difference!

Another way that Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon will differ is that they are set 12 hours apart from each other. While Pokémon Sun will go by the clock on your 3DS, Pokémon Moon will be 12 hours different. So while 1pm in Pokémon Sun, it will be 1am in Pokémon Moon!

Pokémon Snap Makes a Come Back Through the Poké Finder!

Using the new Poké Finder feature of the Rotom Dex, you’ll be able to snap pictures of Pokémon at certain spots throughout the Alola region. Much like the original Pokémon Snap, your pictures will be evaluated and as your pictures improve, you will unlock new features for the camera!

It seems as though you may be able to post these pictures for others to see and rate!

What Are Ultra Beasts?!
It seems as though a new presence has entered the Alola region! These Ultra Beasts could potentially pose a threat to humans and Pokémon alike. A company called the Aether Foundation seems to be researching these Ultra Beasts, there appears to be multiple, each going by a code name.

The first Ultra Beast revealed is known as UB-01, it’s body is made up of a glass-like substance said to be constantly changing. For some reason, its movements seem to resemble that of a young girl, how mysterious!

Meet the Aether Foundation!
The Aether Foundation has built an artificial island called Aether Paradise. At this facility they care for injured Pokémon and conduct various research projects.

Employees of the Aether Foundation care for Pokémon in need, it seems their uniforms vary depending on the division they work for.

Wicke is the Assistant Branch Chief of the Aether Foundation, she is said to be loved by all of the Aether employees.

Faba is the Branch Chief of the Aether Foundation, he is very proud of his position.

Lusamine is the Aether Foundation’s President, she seems quite lovely.

Team Skull’s Enforcer!
Gladion places high value on a Pokémon’s strength in battle, his partner Pokémon is Type: Null!

Familiar Faces from Pokémon X and Pokémon Y!
Dexio and Sina, Professor Sycamore’s assistants from Pokémon X and Y, make an appearance in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

They will give you a key item called the Zygarde Cube, used to collect Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells from all over the Alola Region. Objects giving off light will be darted around the islands, these are Cores and Cells. If you collect enough, the path to finding Zygarde may become clear.

Update On the Munchlax Giveaway!
The Munchlax that will be given away between the launch of Pokémon Sun and Moon and January 11, 2017 will have new moves!

Hold Back will leave the opponent Pokémon with 1 HP if the Pokémon would normally faint. Another new move, Happy Hour, will double your winnings if used during a trainer battle!
