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

  • 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

  • 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!

Pokemon Sun/Moon Alola Islands

Regions and Trials

What we already know about the Alola Islands consists of four islands. It has Pokemon native to the region as well as Pokemon that have adapted to the different ecologies the islands offer.

In Pokemon Sun/Moon you will start your journey by accepting the Island Challenge: an adventurous right where you must travel to the four islands to help you become a great Pokemon trainer.  In order to pass the Island Challenge, trainers much overcome a variety of trials on each island.  Trials include battling Pokemon, finding items, completing tests of knowledge, and more!

At the end of each trial, you face off against a Totem Pokemon that is larger than others in it’s species and enveloped in a special aura.  In battle, they summon Pokemon to join them and become even stronger.

The Grand Trial, the final trial of each island, is a face-off against the Kahuna of the island.  Winning the trial earns you public recognition and the next island opens, where more challenges, Totem Pokemon, and Grand Trials await!

 

 

 

Pokemon Sun/Moon: Z-Moves

A new element to Pokemon battle has been introduced as Z-Moves.  A Z-Move is a powerful move that can only be used once during battle.  Trainer and Pokemon can release their full power together, but only when their wishes resonate with each other.  Every Pokemon will have a Z-Move.

In order to activate the Z-Move, your trainer must have: A Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal.  The Z-Ring is worn on the trainers arm and Z-Crystals are set into it.  If the Pokemon has the same crystals as the trainer, trainer and Pokemon will “resonate”

Speaking of Z-Ring, participating retailers will have an actual Z-Ring for sale.  When you use a Z-Move in Pokemon Sun/Moon the Z-Ring lights up, vibrates, and plays sounds along with the game!
