New Pokémon and Battle Royale announced

[Pokemon Trainer]

The fist day of Nintendo Treehouse Live @ E3 2016 covered the upcoming Pokémon games: Pokémon Sun and Moon.

Pikipek is a Normal/Flying type Pokémon. Its abilities are Keen Eye and Skill Link.
It has 2 evolutions and is the #10 in the Alola Pokédex.

Pikipek can strike 16 times a second with its beak. These strikes are powerful enough to not only drill through hard wood but even shatter stone. The noises made by their blows can signal others. Some of these signals have been identified as warning signals and greetings among allies. Pikipek Trainers have grown to recognize them as well.

These Pokémon drill holes in trees and store food in the holes. They also like small, glittering objects and will tuck them away in their food stores, too. It’s often said, "Something lost, something missed, check inside the Pikipek nest."

Pikipek will attack distant opponents by zipping seeds at them. These shots have enough strength to embed the seeds in tree trunks.

Yungoos is a Normal type Pokémon. Its abilities are Stake Out and Strong Jaw.

Yungoos is a big eater that is never satisfied. The majority of its long body is given over to its stomach, and its digestion is swift, so it’s always hungry. It has strong fangs, so it can crush and consume the hardest of objects.

Each Yungoos chooses its own particular route for searching out prey. It stalks along this route searching for food until it’s exhausted, at which point it drops and sleeps wherever it may be. It’s thought that these Pokémon decide their routes based on safety, so that there’s no risk in falling asleep at any time.

Yungoos is not a Pokémon that is native to the Alola region. It was brought to the region to help deal with the explosive population of a certain other Pokémon, and now Yungoos are commonly seen around the Alola region.

Some Yungoos have an Ability that no other Pokémon discovered has previously had. This Ability is known as Stakeout. With the Stakeout Ability, this Pokémon’s moves can deal twice the normal damage to any Pokémon that switch in or enter the field mid-battle.

Since this Pokémon is so common in the Alola region, it’s easy to catch one. But this Pokémon has a terrible temper when it’s hungry—and it demands a whopping amount of food.

Grubbin is a Bug type Pokémon. Its abilitieis Swarm.

Grubbin relies on its sturdy jaw as a weapon in battle and as a tool for burrowing through the earth. Grubbin loves electricity, which is why it can be found near power plants and substations. By wrapping tree branches in the sticky threads that it spews from its mouth, Grubbin can swing around like an actor on suspension wires!

A nre Battle mode called Battle Royale was added to the game. In this mode four players are divided in a four-way battle that pits each Trainer against each of the other three in a furious melee.
Each of the four trainers chooses three Pokémon and sends one Pokémon into battle at a time. The battle is over at the end of any turn when all of the Pokémon of one Trainer have fainted. The players are ranked, and a victor is declared based on the number of Pokémon each defeated and the number of Pokémon each has remaining in play.

In the Treehouse Live, the video confirmed that:
- Lediba, Pikipek and Yungoos are found on route 1
- the move list can now show full details and tell you which move will be effective, super effective or not effective on the opponent Pokémon
- you can now see how a stat has been altered via moves in battle
- there is a festival in the next town and there you will battle against your rival, Hau. He has a Pichu and the starter Pokémon
- Popplio can learn Disarming Voice
- The games are being directed by Shigeru Ohmori. Junichi Masuda is the producer this time around. Shigeru Ohmori previously directed Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Oh, I wanna a Pikipek, and I wanna now! It looks so cute! ;3

And, about the Royal Battles... It looks like Royal Mess, for me.
But, in the other hand, it also looks really fun, as a multi-player battle.

I totally agree for Pikipek! I want it in my team!
And... with this Treehouse my hype is real!

I can't wait to see is Grubbin's evolutions! Since I've heard it's based on the Larva form of Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle, I hope it evolves into a Beetle Pokémon!

Pikipek I wonder if it'll change type upon evolving and if it does I hope it becomes Steel/Flying

That's an interesting type! And like you, I hope it won't be the usual Normal/Flying

At first I was thinking I thought Grass Flying since it's a Woodpecker but we have Rowlett it be kind of dumb to make a Route 1 Pokémon the same type as a starter. Then since it can destroy rocks I figured Steel Flying would be best especially since there's only 1 Pokémon with that typing.

Maybe it will be the new Skarmory with spikes
