The Blade Quill Pokémon Dartrix evolves from Rowlet. Dartrix attacks by throwing its knife-edged feathers, and it possesses extremely sharp senses.

This Pokémon cares a great deal about its appearance, grooming its feathers in every spare moment it has.

Torracat

CATEGORY	Fire Cat Pokémon
TYPE	Fire

ABILITY	Blaze

The Fire Cat Pokémon Torracat evolves from Litten. This Pokémon produces flames for its attacks from a bell-like sac attached at the base of its throat. Torracat has a great love for battle and will attack relentlessly. Its mane can sense what is going on around it, even in the dark, and is able to detect the presence of hidden enemies.

Brionne

CATEGORY	Pop Star Pokémon
TYPE	Water
HEIGHT	2′00″
WEIGHT	38.6 lbs.
ABILITY	Torrent

The Pop Star Pokémon Brionne evolves from Popplio. Brionne can dance in perfect time with others and is always cheery and positive. A very hard worker, Brionne learns dances by imitating other members of its colony and can sometimes even learn dances from humans. As this Pokémon dances, it creates balloons and slaps them into its target, making them explode and deal damage to its opponents.

Ash-Greninja

CATEGORY	Ninja Pokémon
TYPE	Water/Dark
HEIGHT	4'11"
WEIGHT	88.2 lbs.
ABILITY	Battle Bond

Ash-Greninja has powered up thanks to the strength of its bonds with Ash. This is the form Greninja takes when it has gained new power due to the miraculous occurrence known as the bond phenomenon. This can be brought on by the bonds between people and Pokémon. It seems that it has only known to have occurred once—several hundred years ago.

A brand new trailer for Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon has revealed the evolutions for starter Pokemon, new features, and a demo! The Pokemon Sun and Moon demo will be available to download directly from Nintendo eShop or via the official Nintendo website starting from October 18 and will feature Ash-Greninja!

Pokemon Sun and Moon will have previously experienced features, as well as new features. Mega Evolutions will be featured in both games, as will the Pokemon Global Link – which is being updated with new features, like new Online Competitions, global missions and more.

One of the new features in the Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon games is the Festival Plaza. Visiting this plaza will allow players to see other people playing that are near you or players that are connected to the internet that are ready to battle or trade!

Talking to people in the Festival Plaza will reward players with Festival Coins that can be used in dye houses, goody shops (where rare items are obtained) and even bouncy castles for Pokémon to train in. As players gather more Festival Coins, their Festival Plaza will rank up, yielding rewards and making more activities available. Players will even gain the ability to host missions, where multiple players can work together to try to achieve certain goals.

In addition to the Festival Plaza, Poke Pelago will be featured in the game. Poke Pelago allows Pokemon that are stored in a PC Box to explore a variety of isles, play on athletic equipment and do other activities. If players send many Pokémon to Poké Pelago, they can develop more facilities on the isles and also develop new kinds of isles. As these isles develop and increase in number, they will allow players to obtain items and even raise Pokémon.
