Screenshots: Nieuwe Pokémon onthuld voor Pokémon Sun en Moon

The Pokémon Company heeft zojuist nieuwe Pokémon voor Pokémon Sun en Moon onthuld. Het betreft Passimian (vecht) en Oranguru (psychisch / normaal). Eerder maakten wij al kennis met Rockruff waarvan meerdere evoluties blijken te zijn, namelijk Lycanroc en Lycanroc. Verder zijn er speciale Z-aanvallen voor Pikachu (Catastropika) en Eevee (Extreme Evoboost)

Nieuwe Pokémon
- Passimian: Fighting
The Teamwork Pokémon Passimian attack by throwing Berries at their foes. They tend to live in troops of 20-30 Passimian, who all follow one leader. These tribes work in teams to train and improve their skills. This Pokémon has the Ability Receiver, an Ability which no previous Pokémon has had. With the Receiver Ability, Passimian can inherit the Ability of an ally who faints in battle. Passimian only appear in Pokémon Sun.

- Oranguru: Normal/Psychic
The Sage Pokémon Oranguru live in the solitary deeps of the Alolan forests and, in fact, were once known as 'the people of the forests'. Oranguru hold a fan-like object made of leaves and are known to be kind to other Pokémon in the forest, often giving injured Pokémon medicine or hungry Pokémon food. This Pokémon can exclusively learn the new move Instruct, a move which can make the selected target use its most recent move again immediately. Oranguru only appear in Pokémon Moon.

Evoluties Rockruff
- Lycanroc (Midday Form): Rock
In the world of Pokémon Sun, Rockruff is bathed in profuse amounts of solar energy, and Solgaleo's influence causes this Pokémon to evolve into Lycanroc's Midday Form. This form is known for speedy movement which can confound its opponents. A very loyal Pokémon, Lycanroc Midday Form dodges opponents' strikes whilst attacking with the sharp rocks of its mane. Lycanroc Midday Form can learn Accelerock, a new move unique to the Pokémon, which is guaranteed to strike first, damaging opponents by slamming into them very quickly.

- Lycanroc (Midnight Form): Rock
In the world of Pokémon Moon, Rockruff is bathed in an abundance of lunar energy, and Lunala's influence causes this Pokémon to evolve into Lycanroc's Midnight Form. This Pokémon will sacrifice its own safety to strike down its foes. The stronger an opponent is, the more excited Lycanroc Midnight Form becomes, its eyes glowing with the thrill of battle. This Pokémon feels a deep trust towards a Trainer who can draw forth its true power.

Z-aanvallen
- Pikachu: Catastropika
Pikachu's exclusive Z-Move, Catastropika, is a super-powered attack move where Pikachu borrows its Trainer's strength, wraps itself in extra-high-voltage electric power, and charges into its opponents. This is Pikachu's most powerful attack.

- Eevee: Extreme Evoboost
Eevee's exclusive Z-Move, Extreme Evoboost, gathers together Sylveon, Jolteon and more - all of the eight Pokémon that Eevee can evolve into - and grants their powers to Eevee. This highly powerful move raises Eevee's Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def and Speed by 2.

Verder is het ook in Pokémon Sun en Moon mogelijk om jouw karakter te personaliseren. Je kunt een keuze maken uit diverse kledingstukken, haarstijlen en oogkleuren. Tevens kun je nu jouw kleding een eigen kleurtje geven zodat je er helemaal modebewust uitziet.

Tot slot deelt The Pokémon Company informatie over Pokémon Refresh. Na een gevecht kunnen je Pokémon een opfrisbeurt gebruiken. Met Pokémon Refresh kun je je vechters wassen, verzorgen en Poké Beans voeren. Dit is tevens een goede manier om de relatie met jouw Pokémon te versterken. Hun uithoudingsvermogen en behendigheid kan zelfs toenemen.

Pokémon Sun en Moon zijn vanaf 23 november exclusief verkrijgbaar voor de Nintendo 3DS.
