New trailer reveals version-exclusive Pokémon and new Z Moves

[Pokemon Trainer]

The official Pokémon YouTube channel uploaded a new trailer for Pokémon Sun and Moon.
The trailer focused on the version-exclusive Pokémon and two new Z Moves and adding the first informations about the update of the Pokémon Bank (read more here).

Passimian is a Fighting type with the ability Receiver.
This Pokémon is exclusive to Pokémon Sun.

Passimian is a Pokémon that only appears in Pokémon Sun. If you’re playing Pokémon Moon, you can obtain it by trading with someone playing Pokémon Sun.

Passimian live in troops of 20 to 30 individuals, all following a leader. This leader will take 10 of the individuals in the best condition to search for food. The troop’s teamwork is strong, and the boss of each troop decides what mark members will wear on their arms to distinguish the troops.

The boss puts the troop members through training to improve their coordination with one another and their skill in handling Berries. Apparently this training is so hard that some Passimian end up running away.

Lobbing Berries at foes is how Passimian attack. They sometimes work in coordination with others, passing Berries back and forth to bewilder their opponents. Passimian don’t just pitch hard Berries at opponents, either—they also have a technique that uses soft Berries to obscure their opponent’s ability to see.

Passimian wants its Trainer to have the qualities of a leader as well. It watches a Trainer’s form closely when he or she throws Poké Balls, and will not listen to the orders of a Trainer with poor form.

Passimian has a new Ability, Receiver, which no other Pokémon has previously had. With the Receiver Ability, this Pokémon can inherit the Ability of an ally who faints in battle.

Oranguru is a Normal/Psychic type with the ability Inner Focus / Telepathy. It can learn the new move Instruct.
This Pokémon is exclusive to Pokémon Moon.

Oranguru is a Pokémon that appears only in Pokémon Moon. If you’re playing Pokémon Sun, you can obtain it by trading with someone playing Pokémon Moon.

Oranguru live solitary lives deep in the forests and do not usually take much action. Instead, they position themselves high up in the trees to meditate. Long ago, people thought that Oranguru were humans who dwelled in the forest depths, so they called them “the people of the forests.” Oranguru is kind to the other Pokémon living in the forest, providing medicine for injured Pokémon and food for the hungry.

Oranguru sometimes act on their own initiative and will use items that only humans normally use. From a Trainer’s perspective, they can be hard Pokémon to handle at times. Allegedly, there have been sightings of Oranguru using Poké Balls!

The fan-like objects held by Oranguru are handmade by the Oranguru themselves. These fans appear to be made of layers of leaves bound together with Oranguru’s own fur.

Instruct is a move that only Oranguru can learn. It can make the selected target use its most recent move again immediately.

Both Lycanroc forms are Rock type. The Midday Form is exclusive to Pokémon Sun while the Midnight Form is exclusive to Pokémon Moon.
The Midday Form has the ability Keen Eye / Sand Rush while the Midnight Form has the ability Keen Eye / Vital Spirit.

When Rockruff is bathed in profuse amounts of solar energy, it evolves into its Midday Form. In the world of Pokémon Sun, Solgaleo’s influence causes Rockruff to evolve into this form.

Lycanroc lives solo in mountains and deserts, not creating a pack. Each has its own territory, and they live without interfering with one another, which helps to avoid unnecessary fights.

Lycanroc obeys its Trainer’s orders dutifully. In particular, if a Trainer accepted it during its more rebellious pre-Evolution period, Lycanroc will never ever betray that Trainer and will be the most loyal of partners.

The Midday Form Lycanroc is known for speedy movements that leave its opponents bewildered. It dodges opponents’ strikes while attacking with the sharp rocks of its mane as it slips right past them.

Accelerock is a move that only Midday Form Lycanroc can learn. It slams into an opponent with quick moves. This move is guaranteed to strike first!

When Rockruff is bathed in an abundance of lunar energy, it evolves into its Midnight Form. In the world of Pokémon Moon, Lunala’s influence causes Rockruff to evolve into this form.

Midnight Form Lycanroc provokes its opponents by pressing in hard and inviting their attack. When an opponent falls for this tactic and attacks, Lycanroc counters with its forte: a single devastating blow that finishes off its foe! The stronger its opponent is, the more excited for battle Lycanroc becomes. It doesn’t mind getting hurt if it means victory in battle. Battles thrill it so much that its eyes glow.

Contempt rises in this Pokémon for Trainers who give orders it doesn’t agree with or who try to force it to battle. On the other hand, it will feel a deep trust in a Trainer who can truly draw forth its power in battle.

Counter is a move that Rockruff can learn when it evolves into Midnight Form Lycanroc. When Lycanroc takes physical damage from an opponent, it deals double that damage back to the same opponent.

Pikachu and Eevee have their own Z Move: Pikachu has Catastropika while Eevee has Extreme Evoboost.
Pikachu's Catastropika is a damage Z Move

Pikachu’s exclusive Z-Move, Catastropika, is a superpowered attack move where Pikachu borrows its Trainer’s strength, wrapping itself in extra-high-voltage electric power, and charging into its opponent. This will become Pikachu’s most powerful attack!

Eevee's Extreme Evoboost summon all the eevelutions and boost all its stats by 2


A new feature, Pokémon Refresh is a replacement for the old Pokémon Amie.

Use the Pokémon Refresh feature to care for your Pokémon. After a battle, Pokémon sometimes end up all dirty. When that happens, you can take care of them and get them all cleaned up. By caring for your Pokémon, you can also cure status conditions like poisoning and paralysis that were inflicted on your Pokémon in battle.

Pokémon that have grown very affectionate, thanks to petting them a lot and feeding them their beloved Poké Beans, will battle to the utmost for you. Sometimes they’ll avoid attacks from opposing Pokémon—and even hold out when they’re on the verge of fainting. Take good care of your Pokémon with Pokémon Refresh, and they’ll be great allies on your adventure!

New information about the upcoming Pokémon games, Sun and Moon, will be revealed on October 4, 2016 at 22:00 JST (14:00 BST, 15:00 CEST, 09:00 EDT and 06:00 PDT).

The "extreme evoboost" looks really awesome, but I still thinking that the "z-move dancing" is really odd.
Didn't like the new Pokémon, even their abilities looks useful.
And, looks like we'll have a improve character customization, which is good, I guess.

EDIT: How the hell is Pikipek eating that? That fruit(?) is almost bigger than its head. xD

I like Oranguru's move Instruct because I'm thinking about the combo Mega Kangaskhan that attack 2 time and this move
(but for now it's impossibile because the Megas aren't confirmed ;_
Anyway, I think we will see him often in the competitive (or not? )

Maybe Pikipek has a new ability to eat things much bigger than him??

 

[Shinso Vampire Nagato]

So we got our Rugby Monkey! Meaning those Chinese leaks are real! Beyond a doubt at this point!
We also got Harambe! Let the memes begin!!!

Oranguru's attack is going to be a pain!!! Definitely a Tank Pokemon!
Passimian has an interesting ability!

 

[unownzone]

I really like the two new primates!!! They have a good design and concept XD
Their abilities and moves could be really useful in competitive battle too! Can't wait to see them in the game!
Though neither is a gorilla, it seems like some people will see this as a compromise for a "Harambe" Pokemon haha

We finally have the Rockruff evo's name! Lycanrock!!!!!
Judging by the sand rush ability and priority accelerock move, it seems Midday form might be more used in battle.
I can't believe they had to point out that the midnight form learns counter...as if that's anything special...
I hope Midnight form has something special too XD

Finally, the Z-moves are kinda bothering me. Catastropika and the other attacking Z-moves seem too OP. I don't know how strong they are, but they seem to require no strategy to use. It's just raw power...which is something I don't like to see in Pokemon games I hope there's going to be something special about those too. On the other hand, will any of eevee's evolutions get to use eevee's z-move? Or is it only for Eevee?

Customization is improving in Sun and Moon, which was pretty inevitable

We get to groom Pokemon in Pokemon refresh, which means it should be a replacement for Amie.

Same for me when they showed him in CoroCoro... but maybe he will have better stats...

On the other hand, will any of eevee's evolutions get to use eevee's z-move? Or is it only for Eevee?.

First, you can use only one Z Move for battle, so it's not that powerful because it's only one time I think that the Megas were much more powerful because even if you can have only one Mega, they last for the entire battle
As for Eevee's Z Move, it's exclusive for him, so his eeveelutions can't use that Z Move (it's the same when they revealed Snorlax Z Move, you need to evolce Munchlax to Snorlax before using the move)

Customization is improving in Sun and Moon, which was pretty inevitable

I'm happy that this feature returned and is improved I really love to create my own character!! (And this time... no hat!!!!)

They're going to be a pain to battle that's for sure! It is cool that they're adding more Double Battle abilities. All he is, is Harambe Sage Mode!

Like the name Lycanrock gives me ideas for good nicknames! I think they only pointed out because it corresponds with his Dex description.

I it is only Eevee that gets to use it.

I can't wait to see all the possible customization available!!! I really hope there's a long hair for guys not just the girls...Pretty cool that you can also change the colors of the shirts and pants via dyes!

They confirmed that it's replacing Amie.

Does that mean that they're trying to get Eevee to be used in compitetive battle...? Then does that mean the evolved forms will have different z-moves? It's kinda confusing how they gave signature moves to non-fully-evolved Pokemon...

Oh and what part of its description matches lycanrock's name?

The stronger its opponent is, the more excited for battle Lycanroc becomes. It doesn’t mind getting hurt if it means victory in battle. Battles thrill it so much that its eyes glow.

It purposely taunts the opponent so it'll make the first move so he can Counter.

If Z-moves can be used only once per battle, can you block it with protect? That would be a waste...but if it can't be blocked, it's too overpowered..
And if a Z-move is too powerful, that probably means that you're getting a free KO once per battle...somehow I think that's wrong

 

[Pokemon Trainer]

Well, the World Championship is always 2 vs 2 so I think that it's normal to add more moves for the competitive

Does that mean that they're trying to get Eevee to be used in compitetive battle...? Then does that mean the evolved forms will have different z-moves? It's kinda confusing how they gave signature moves to non-fully-evolved Pokemon...

I think that they don't want to give Alolan/Mega forms to some Pokémon so they simply added a special Z Move and nothing more.
Well, in the little cup Eevee will be uber for sure thanks to this move XD (but I don't know if someone will add him for a real competition )

 

[unownzone]

Oh I meant the Mignight learning Counter part.


It purposely taunts the opponent so it'll make the first move so he can Counter.

Oh so I guess the featured move is connected to its description. I still hope it'll get a new move like Midday form too though..

Some people were talking about eviolite baton pass eevee XD

For now... we don't know...
But... many Pokémon can 1HKO others so a Z Move isn't that surprising... and, in the trailer we don't know Pikachu's level... maybe he is overlevelled XD

Some people were talking about eviolite baton pass eevee XD

that's interesting, really interesting
