Legendaries Revealed!

Name: Solgaleo

Category: Sunne Pokémon

Height: 11′ 02″

Weight: 507.1 lbs.

Type: Psychic/Steel

Ability: Full Metal Body

Honoured as an emissary of the sun since ancient times, Solgaleo is referred to with reverence as “the beast that devours the sun”. Solgaleo’s body holds a vast amount of energy, and it shines with light when it is active. It has a flowing mane with a remarkable resemblance to the sun. Its signature move is Sunsteel Strike, an attack that charges at an opponent with the force of a meteor, disregarding the target’s Ability. Solgaleo’s Ability is Full Metal Body, a new Ability that no previous Pokémon has had. With the Full Metal Body Ability, a Pokémon’s stats will not be lowered by the effects of an opponent’s moves or Ability.

Name: Lunala

Category: Moone Pokémon

Height: 13′ 01″

Weight: 264.6 lbs.

Type: Psychic/Ghost

Ability: Shadow Shield

Since ancient times, Lunala has been honoured as an emissary of the moon. Referred to with reverence as “the beast that calls the moon”, Lunala is constantly absorbing light and converting it into energy. With its wings spread to absorb the surrounding light and glittering like the crescent moon, it resembles a beautiful night sky. Lunala’s signature Moongeist Beam attack releases an ominous beam of light that disregards the target’s Ability. Lunala’s Ability is Shadow Shield, a new Ability that no previous Pokémon has had. With the Shadow Shield Ability, a Pokémon will take less damage from an attack that lands when the Pokémon has full HP.

Pokédex

The Pokédex is a convenient tool that records information about the Pokémon that players see and catch during their adventure. In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, Professor Kukui provides a special Pokédex known as the Rotom Pokédex. It is inhabited by Rotom, a Pokémon with the power to reside in various electronic appliances. The Rotom Pokédex does much more than record Pokémon info – it has its own personality. Besides showing the player’s current location and their next destination, the Rotom Pokédex also provides advice on where to go next, based on the conversations players have with other characters.

In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, a QR Scanner function allows players to see information about Pokémon when they scan QR Code patterns. By scanning in special QR Code patterns, fans can register Pokémon of the Alola region to their Pokédex and find out where they live. If they scan in the QR Code for a Pokémon that they haven’t yet caught, players can check its habitat and search it out.

Alola Region

The Alola region centres around four tropical islands which provides us with plenty of lush locations to explore, as well as a bunch of new Pokémon. After customising your lead character, you’ll embark on your journey and meet a bunch of new faces, such as Professor Kukui, the region’s Pokémon Professor sporting an open lab coat revealing some ripped abs, surely something that wouldn’t have passed back in Oak’s day.

Elsewhere you’ll come across Lillie, a girl who assists the professor, she loves researching and reading about Pokémon but is not too fond of actually fighting with them.

Finally we have Hau, a food obsessed boy around the same age as the main character. Hau really loves Pokémon and befriends you early on in the game, so he’s likely to be the ‘friendly rival’ of the Alola region.

And that’s it for this edition of #Pokémon20! We hope this latest edition has you pining for Pokémon Sun & Moon more than ever! The title will release here in Europe on November 23rd!
