• Nine new Alola region Pokémon and details about the Legendary Pokémon Zygarde revealed

    The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo have revealed new Pokémon that can be found in the highly anticipated Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon video games, available exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. These Alola region Pokémon will appear in the latest generation of Pokémon video games which will launch in Europe on November 23.

    A new trailer that showcases all of these amazing Pokémon and new gameplay in action can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcXvaWWqRQ4



    The newly revealed Pokémon include:



    Name: Tapu Koko
    Type: Electric/Fairy
    Tapu Koko is the guardian deity of Melemele Island, one of the islands of the Alola region. Tapu Koko’s Ability is Electric Surge, an Ability which has never been seen before. The Electric Surge Ability fills the field around the Pokémon’s feet with electricity when it appears, raising the power of any Electric-type moves for Pokémon on the ground and preventing any Pokémon from falling asleep.



    Name: Charjabug
    Type: Bug/Electric
    Charjabug is the first Evolution of Grubbin, a new Alola region Pokémon revealed last month. Charjabug’s Battery Ability allows it to raise the power of allies’ special moves.



    Name: Vikavolt
    Type: Bug/Electric
    Vikavolt, the Evolution of Charjabug, is like a fortress that zooms through the forest, using its huge jaws to control a beam of electricity which it can fire from its mouth.



    Name: Drampa
    Type: Normal/Dragon
    Drampa are dragons that live alone in the mountains 10,000 feet above sea level. With Drampa’s Berserk Ability, this Pokémon’s Special Attack stat will go up by one when its HP drops below half.



    Name: Bruxish
    Type: Water/Psychic
    Bruxish emits a strong psychic power from the protuberance on its head while grinding its teeth loudly. Some Bruxish have the new Dazzling Ability which prevents opponents from using priority moves that normally strike first.



    Name: Cutiefly
    Type: Bug/Fairy
    Cutiefly can detect the auras of living things, including people, Pokémon and plants. They seek out flowers by the colour and brightness of their auras, and then they gather the nectar and pollen.



    Name: Togedemaru
    Type: Electric/Steel
    Togedemaru is the Roly-Poly Pokémon which gathers electricity and stores it. The long needle that grows from the back of its head works as a lightning rod to attract electricity.



    Name: Rockruff
    Type: Rock
    Rockruff has an excellent sense of smell, and once it has smelled an odour, it doesn’t forget it. There are tales of these Pokémon getting separated from their Trainers, then using the faintest traces of their scent to track them for days until they are reunited.



    Name: Komala
    Type: Normal
    No one has ever seen a Komala awake. It eats, travels and even battles while sound asleep. According to ancient people, its saliva can be used as medicine for the sick or sleepless. Komala has the Comatose Ability which keeps it perpetually in a drowsing state, preventing it from getting any other status conditions.



    New forms of the Legendary Pokémon Zygarde will appear for the first time in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. Zygarde is made up of a multitude of cell-like components and, depending on how many of them it has gathered together, its appearance changes.



    Name: Zygarde 50% Forme
    Type: Dragon/Ground
    Zygarde believes it has a duty to protect the ecosystem, and it monitors the Pokémon ecosystem to ensure that the ecosystem is not disrupted. While the power it possesses is overwhelming, this form contains only 50% of Zygarde’s cells. A Zygarde 10% or Zygarde 50% with the Power Construct Ability will be able to change into its Complete Forme during battle if its HP drops below half.



    Name: Zygarde 10% Forme
    Type: Dragon/Ground
    When an emergency occurs, this form can take action separately from Zygarde 50% Forme, which comprises its main body. Thousand Arrows is a special move that only Zygarde can learn. It’s a Ground-type move that can also do damage to Flying types and to Pokémon with the Levitate Ability. After being hit by this move, Flying types and Pokémon with the Levitate Ability will continue to take damage from other Ground-type moves used in subsequent turns. Thousand Waves is also a move that only Zygarde can learn. This move makes it impossible for an opponent to flee or be swapped out of battle.



    Name: Zygarde Complete Forme
    Type: Dragon/Ground
    Zygarde’s completed form is specialized for battle, enabling Zygarde to fight with its full power and fulfill its duty of protecting the Pokémon ecosystem. Core Enforcer is a move that only Zygarde can learn, and it can erase the Abilities of any opponents that have already used a move on the same turn that it’s used.

      It's time for my negative nelly comment! Cause I just enjoy writing these mostly for myself. :P
      Tapu Koko...no strong feelings on this one. I don't like it, at all. But I don't hate it. It's just very meh. Doesn't excite me.
      I swear if somewhere in the world buses or other vehicles something's Charjabug shaped I'm gonna lose it. The evolution gets no points either - though, I'm not a fan of bug types in the first place, so I'm biased here.
      Drampa is just a major disappointment and I want nothing to do with it. I'm a person who appreciates derp where it's due - but Drampa's just way too derpy. Over the board derpy. I want to like it, maybe in time I will, but for now it's just too much derp. 7.8/10 too much derp.
      Bruxish wins the third place as the ugliest pokémon in my list. (Probopass and Nosepass are 1# and 2#) Holy nuggets that thing better have good stats if it wants to be not-forgotten-forever-and-ever.
      Ok. Cutiefly. I. Love. That. Thing. That's adorable. Simple enough design. SO going to own a plush of that when they're out. I hope amie's back cause I'm gonna cuddle the cute out of that thing so hard it's so cute. <:3 I hope whatever it evolves into is super cute too.
      Togedemaru? Did you mean Togepi's, Marill's and Emolga's daycare accident? It's cute and ok. I hope it evolves into something cute - if it evolves at all, that is. It better.
      Rockruff is a dog. Yup. Cute. Ok. Pandering. But ok. I like it. Again, I hope it's evolution is cool.
      I really like Komala. It's very simple and cute. BUT. It's maybe even a little too simple, I mean, I know I've said I liked simpler designs, but Komala is really just a regular koala. It's not even like, a weird color or anything. It's a regular old gray koala. Nothing about it says to me that it's a pokemon and not just a regular koala.
      Zygarde forms are just so all over the place I don't even know.
