Last Pokemon Sun and Moon trailer teases “Mystery Pokemon” and new Alolan Diglett

Alolan Diglett

Type: Ground–Steel Ground–Steel

The Mole Pokémon Alolan Diglett live near volcanic areas, so they have few places to hide themselves away. It’s said they developed the hairlike metallic whiskers which grow from the top of their heads as a survival mechanism for the hostile volcanic environment. Their whiskers enable them to sense surrounding areas without exposing their face above ground. Alolan Diglett can have the Tangling Hair Abil ity, which is a new Ability that no other Pokémon has previously had. With the Tangling Hair Ability, opponents that hit this Pokémon with a move that makes direct contact will have their speed lowered by 1.

Alolan Dugtrio

Type: Ground–Steel

Alolan Dugtrio is the evolved form of Alolan Diglett. Alolan Dugtrio’s whiskers grow throughout its life at a very slow rate, shining with a brilliance akin to that of golden hair. In the Alola region, this Pokémon is revered as an incarnation of the god of the land, and it’s treated with great importance. Removing any of this Pokémon’s whiskers is strictly prohibited. There is a superstitious belief that many Alolan Dugtrio come out of their burrows on a day when a volcano will erupt.

Also revealed were the following new Ultra Beasts:

UB-05 Glutton

This beast has an astounding appetite, and it will completely devour anything in front of its eyes. It’s said that it devours not only objects, but the ground, rivers, and even the seas. There is a belief that it converts the abnormal amount it eats entirely into energy to sustain itself, leaving no waste product behind. Whether this is true or not is a mystery.

UB-03 Lighting

Another of the Ultra Beasts is known as UB-03 Lighting. More will be revealed during the players’ adventures around the Alola region.


The MYSTERY Pokemon!

More information on this Pokemon will not be revealed prior to release.

Prior to the release of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon on Friday, November 18th, we have been given a look at a mystery Pokémon, new Pokémon, and Z-Moves that our starter Pokémon will be using!

The last trailer for Pokémon Sun and Moon features  Alolan Diglett and Alolan Dugtrio, the Ultra Beasts UB-05 Glutton and UB-03 Lighting, and the Z-Moves for Decidueye, Incineroar, Primarina! Luckily, we also got all it in writing, as well as pictures – including the picture of the "Mystery Pokémon."

Note: Alolan Diglett and Alolan Dugtrio, the Ultra Beasts UB-05 Glutton, UB-03 Lighting and the Mystery Pokemon can be found on the following page.

Sun and Moon feature the new 'Z-Moves,' which are special moves that a Pokémon can use when it’s holding a Z-Crystal that corresponds to its move’s type. Their effects depend on whether they’reattack moves or status moves. Z-Moves based on attack moves have more power than standard moves, but how powerful they are depends on the power of the original move that a Z-Move is based on.

Each of the three starter Pokémon have an exclusive Z-Move that they can use only after they fully evolve. These moves are:

Z-Move: Sinister Arrow Raid

Pokémon: Decidueye

Decidueye slices through the air together with a hail of arrow quills, crashing into the target before dealing the final blow with its arrows.

Z-Move: Malicious Moonsault

Pokémon: Incineroar

With flames spouting from its flame belt, Incineroar leaps high into the sky and dives straight down onto its target.

Z-Move: Oceanic Operetta

Pokémon: Primarina

Primarina manipulates a huge balloon using its voice, then causes it to explode over its target’s head, dealing a lot of damage.
