Pokémon Sun and Moon

The Pokémon Company was supposed to reveal a brand new trailer for Pokémon Sun and Moon tomorrow at 5PM PST / 8PM EST / 2AM BST / 3AM CEST / 10AM JST. But due to yet another leak, the trailer was uploaded almost 18h early, and reveals some brand new Pokémon and Alola Formes.

But first, the trailer introduces Team Skull, which is the main antagonist team in the game. Plumeria (Burumeri in Japanese), revealed in CoroCoro magazine, seems to be one the admins of that team, while Guzma seems to be the big boss.

The new Pokémon revealed in the trailer are:

• Morelull (Plant, Fairy): has Illuminate and Effect Spore as its Abilities;
• Wishiwashi (Water). It has two forms: Solo Form and School Form. Thanks to its Ability, Schooling, it goes from the former to the latter when it reaches a certain level. But if it takes damage, it reverts back to its Solo Form;
• Pyukumuku (Water): its Ability is Innards out.

And the new Alola Formes are:

• Alola Meowth (Dark): its Abilities are Pickup and Technician;
• Alola Morahawak (Fire, Ghost): its Abilities are Cursed Body and Lightning Rod;
• Alola Raichu (Fire, Psychic): its Ability is Surge Surfer.

Here’s the latest trailer for Pokémon Sun and Moon:

Pokémon Sun and Moon (3DS) comes out on November 18th in Japan and North America, and November 23rd in Europe.
