Forums - Nintendo - Pokémon Sun/Moon New Pokémon and Z-Moves announced !

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8lfI66T5II

 

As previously stated by the Chinese Leak we got a Rugby player-like Monkey: Passimian, a Fighting type Pokémon with the Receiver ability that lets him copy his allies' ability when they faint. Passimian is exclusive to Pokémon Sun.

On the other hand Oranguru was announced to be exclusive to Pokémon Moon. Oranguru is a Normal/Psychic type with a new move called Instruct that makes his ally repeat his last move.

Rockruff also recieved a name for its evolution in the west, Lycanroc, who has an exclusive form depending on the game you are playing, Lycanroc retains the Rock typing and while Keen Eye is shared by both forms, Sand Rush is exclusive as an alternative ability to the Midday form while Vital Spirit is exclusive to the Midnight form.

Pikachu has an exclusive Z-move called Catastropika while Eevee has an exclusive Z-move called Extreme Evoboost which greatly increases all of his stats !

The Trailer goes on showcasing a wide variety of clothing/hairstyle choices and the grooming feature of the game

Not to be rude, but the new Z-Moves are probably the most boring part of the trailer and you made it the star for your title. I think saying theres a new Pokemon (in this case 2) would cause people to look more. Or hell the fact the leak seems right in point



"Oranguru is a Normal/Psychic type with a new move called Instruct that makes his ally repeat his last move."

Oranguru + Mega Khangaskhan+ Power up punch. Metagame broken again.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

The new pokemon look okay, and the evolution I like for the puppy is on the Sun version... T_T Oh well, I guess the Moon version is fine too. That Eevee Z move is interesting. I guess it confirms there won't be a new Eevee in the Sun/Moon games. Also, that pikachu Z move dance is so cute xD

Rockruff's Moon evolution looks way better

Salty as hell :(

I want to get Sun cause I dont want to play the main story on Moon when its night T.T

What?! I feel the opposite about Rockruff's evolution. I like the Sun one more. If it was possible, I'd trade you a midnight one for a midday one, haha.... - w -

Are double battles even that popular in the metagame?

they are the only format for the Videogame Championships :v

btw I first named New Pokémon in the title, what's up with the Z-moves hate ?

Yes. Maybe not in Smogon and Pokemon Showdown, but in the actual online is usually bigger. Most of the official tournaments are doubles.

Z moves are kinda not being/sounding like a great addition to the game.

Yes. Sun version's look boring like a normal type D:

Moon's version looks like an emo Zoroark. 

I think Sun's looks how a cool wolf should look.
