[Watch] Pokemon Sun and Moon: Six new Pokemon revealed with new Abilities

Wimpod

CATEGORY Turn Tail Pokémon
TYPE Bug/Water
HEIGHT 1′08″
WEIGHT 26.5 lbs.
ABILITY Wimp Out

This naturally cowardly Pokemon spits poisonous liquid when it feels threatened (which is apparently 90% of the time). While cowardly, Wimpod is naturally curious. The Bug-Water type will eat anything that falls on the ground, so they are pretty good at cleaning the bottom of the ocean.

Wimpod had the "Wimp Out Ability," which is yet another new ability that allows the Pokemon to flee or be swapped out in the middle of battle if its HP drops below half.

Bounsweet

CATEGORY Fruit Pokémon
TYPE Grass
HEIGHT 1′00″
WEIGHT 7.1 lbs.
ABILITY Leaf Guard / Oblivious

Bounsweet is a delicious smelling fruit Pokemon, it's so delicious smelling that other Pokemon tend to swallow them whole or humans stash them away in their homes to keep them smelling nice. They flee by bouncing away from enemies, something quite carefree and cute looking, so their desperation is never quite recognized by people.

This Pokemon does not feature a new Ability.

Comfey

CATEGORY Posy Picker Pokémon
TYPE Fairy
HEIGHT 0′4″
WEIGHT 0.7 lbs.
ABILITY Flower Veil / Triage

This Fairy-type Pokemon is fond of flowers, it picks them up, carries them around and spreads oil onto them from its body that makes the flowers emit a "soothing fragrance." Comfey soothes itself and allies with this aroma.

If attacked by Pokemon, Comfey will throw its flowers at them to flee or create an opening for attack. Comfey can be caught with the "Triage Ability," yet another Ability that is brand new. Triage Ability essentially grants the Pokemon's restorative moves the highest priority in battle.

Bewear

CATEGORY Strong Arm Pokémon
TYPE Normal/Fighting
HEIGHT 6’11”
WEIGHT 297.6 lbs.
ABILITY Fluffy/Klutz

Bewear is one of the most dangerous Pokemon in the new Alola region, even though it just wants to hug the things it cares about the most. It's hug, something it loves to do, can break spines. This Normal-Fighting type Pokemon features the "Fluffy Ability" a brand new Ability that halves the damage taken from a direct attack, but doubles damage from Fire-type moves.

Mudsdale

CATEGORY Draft Horse Pokémon
TYPE Ground
HEIGHT 8′02″
WEIGHT 2028.3 lbs.
ABILITY Own Tempo / Stamina

Mudsdale is the king of stone-face, its powerful body and emotional fortitude keep the Ground-type Pokemon from being agitated by anything. The 'Draft Horse Pokemon' is covered in mud for protection and pretty powerful. Mudsdale can feature the new 'Stamina Ability' that no Pokemon has had before. It makes the Pokemon's Defense go up by one every time it is attacked.

Mimikyu

CATEGORY Disguise Pokémon
TYPE Ghost/Fairy
HEIGHT 0’08”
WEIGHT 1.5 lbs.
ABILITY Disguise

Mimikyu, a Pokemon that strangely resembles Pikachu is actually not a weird dilapidated Pikachu. In fact, Mimikyu hides in a Pikachu-like shroud so that people would be more inclined to interact with it, making it less lonely. Mimikyu has the 'Disguise Ability,' an Ability that no Pokemon has possessed before, that allows it to hide itself and escape damage from an enemy's attack, then change its appearance.

Last week, A Japanese based magazine leaked images of two Pokemon that had yet to be announced for Pokemon Sun and Moon. Now, the two Pokemon, along with four others have been revealed and one of them may or may not be a Snapchat filter.

The trailer briefly shows off each of the six newly revealed Pokemon, if you want a bit more detail on each one, check out the following pages! It's worth taking a look at each of the Pokemon, because almost all of them feature an Ability that is new to the games.

The video also shows off a feature where Pokemon Sun and Moon players can host their own competitions using the Pokemon Global Link and Hyper Training

Check out the Pokemon in detail on the following pages!
