New Pokemons Emerge, Pokemon Sun and Moon

The Pokemon Company has revealed four more new Pokemons that will be in the two new titles at the 2016 Pokemon World Championships today. You can catch the trailer below along with all the details

 

Crawbrawler

Pokemon-Sun-Moon_08-19-16_001

  • Category: Boxing Pokemon
  • Type: Fighting
  • Height: 2’00”
  • Weight: 15.4 lbs.
  • Ability: Hyper Cutter / Iron Fist

 

Crabrawler’s favorite food is Berries. It punches the trunks of trees to give the branches a good shake and knock any ripe Berries to the ground so it can feast! Many Crabrawler may gather around a tree, but only the one that emerges victorious in battle against all the others receives the privilege of eating the ripe Berries.

Crabrawler uses its claws to protect its face and belly while getting in close to an opponent to throw punches. Its punches are powerful enough to split tree trunks! Crabrawler’s pincers are sometimes torn off during its bouts—and they are said to be delicious.

Sandygast

Pokemon-Sun-Moon_08-19-16_002

  • Category: Sand Heap Pokemon
  • Type: Ghost/Ground
  • Height: 1’08”
  • Weight: 154.3 lbs.
  • Ability: Water Compaction

Crabrawler has a personality that really hates to lose, and it’s driven not only to aim for a higher position than its fellows in terms of social standing, but literally to aim for a higher position in the landscape. Perhaps as a result, it’s sometimes found clinging to tall people or to the walls of buildings! If you try to remove one against its will, you’ll be met with a sound punch.

If you heedlessly grab a Sandygast’s shovel, you’ll fall under the Pokemon’s control. A Sandygast uses its power to manipulate children into gathering sand to increase the size of its body. If a Sandygast loses its shovel, it may put up a tree branch, a flag, or another item in its place. These Sandygast are wanderers in search of their own shovels.

The tunnel-like mouth of a Sandygast can suck the vitality from people and Pokemon. Apparently it’s a test of courage in the Alola region to put your hand in a Sandygast’s mouth.

Sandygast has the new Water Compaction Ability, an Ability that no previous Pokemon has had. With Water Compaction, its Defense stat will go up by 2 if it’s hit with a Water-type move.

Palossand

Pokemon-Sun-Moon_08-19-16_003

  • Category: Sand Castle Pokemon
  • Type: Ghost/Ground
  • Height: 4’03”
  • Weight: 551.2 lbs.
  • Ability: Water Compaction

 

Palossand loves the vitality of Pokemon and drags small Pokemon into its body so it can steal their life force. Its sandy vortex swallows them up in a heartbeat! Pokemon dragged into Palossand leave traces of their ill will behind. It’s thought that this negative energy may be the starting point of new Sandygast…

Stufful

Pokemon-Sun-Moon_08-19-16_004

  • Category: Flailing Pokemon
  • Type: Normal/Fighting
  • Height: 1’08”
  • Weight: 15.0 lbs.
  • Ability: Fluffy / Klutz

 

This Pokemon may have a small body, but its strength is extraordinary. Receiving one of its powerful hits without being prepared for it can bring down even well-trained Pokemon!

The truth is that Stufful doesn’t really like being touched. It hates being hugged tightly and will flail its arms in protest. Stufful’s cute appearance and movements—plus the fluffy feel of its fur—all combine to make it super popular!Palossand controls human adults, making them build a sand castle that provides camouflage and also raises its defensive abilities. Unlike Sandygast, if Palossand loses some of the sand from its body, it can restore itself on its own. When moving about in search of prey, the shovel on top of Palossand’s head revolves. It’s said that the shovel could be serving as some kind of radar.A Sandygast emerges when the grudges of Pokemon and other creatures soak into the sand after they fall in battle. In essence, it’s a possessed lump of sand!
