    Hey guys, [member='Aura'] here with a very surprising news bomb!

    It was announced today that there will be another Pokémon Sun and Moon video released today, at 22:00 (10 PM) JST, which was only about 4 hours after the announcement. Luckily your star reporter is 90% prepared for this type of situation, and the video will be covered here, as well as links to watch it for yourself!

    So, the video starts us off with a brand-new Pokémon, Wimpod! Wimpod is a Bug/Water type with the ability Wimp Out. Wimp Out causes Wimpod to flee when it's HP gets low, in the video this is shown to be at around the same level of HP needed to activate Overgrow, Blaze and Torrent.
    EDIT: It has been confirmed that the ability activates when Wimpod's HP is at half or lower, and it causes a switch-out during Trainer battles.

    The next Pokémon we see is Bounsweet, a pure Grass type. It can have either Leaf Guard or Oblivious as it's ability.

    After that we have Comfey, a pure Fairy type. It can have either Flower Veil or the new ability Triage as it's ability. Triage's effects were not shown in the video.
    EDIT: It has been confirmed that Triage's effect is that it raises the priority of healing moves.

    [​IMG]

    Next up was Mudsdale, a pure Ground type. It can have either Own Tempo or the new ability Stamina as it's ability. Stamina causes Mudsdale's Defense stat to rise one stage when hit by an attack. The example shown was with a physical attack, so it might only activate against physical attacks.
    EDIT: The official site states that Stamina increases Mudsdale's Defense by 1 stage when it is hit by an "attack", so this does not clarify whether it is activated by just physical attacks, as shown in the trainer, or both physical and special attacks.

    Following that we have the official reveal of Mimikyu, who is still a Ghost/Fairy type with the translated ability of Disguise. Disguise acts as a substitute for Mimikyu, allowing it to take one attack without losing HP. The "disguise" then flops down and the ability no longer has any effect.

    Of course, the second leaked Pokémon from CoroCoro had it's official reveal, Bewear. It retains it's Normal/Fighting typing, having access to the translated ability Fluffy or Klutz. Fluffy's effects were not shown in the video.
    EDIT: It has been confirmed that Fluffy's effect is that is halves the damage taken from attacks that make direct contact, however it takes increased damage from Fire-type attacks.

    After all the Pokémon reveals, some new game features were shown. The ability to host your own competitions using the Pokémon Global Link (PGL) was revealed. A new training system called "Hyper Training" was also shown, which seems to replace the previously used "Super Training" from XYORAS.
    EDIT: More details in Hyper Training have been revealed. Here's the direct text from the official website.

    "In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, you can draw forth a Pokémon's power to its utmost limit with Hyper Training.

    Pokémon grow stronger by raising their levels and increasing their base stats. However, their power is still affected by the individual strengths innate to each Pokémon. Now, with Hyper Training, Pokémon that have grown to Lv. 100 will be able to increase their individual strengths, which has never been possible before.

    With Hyper Training, you can increase the strength of the Lv. 100 Pokémon you've been adventuring with!

    Hyper Training is done by Mr. Hyper–a man who loves to collect Bottle Caps. He can be found somewhere in the Alola region. If you bring him Bottle Caps, which you can obtain in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, you'll be able to improve your Pokémon's stats with Hyper Training.

    The Magearna you'll be able to get will be holding a Bottle Cap, a precious item needed for Hyper Training. With a Bottle Cap, you can perform Hyper Training on any Pokémon. Get Magearna on your team and try out Hyper Training for yourself!"

    How exciting is all of this!? If you missed it and wish to watch it for yourself, click HERE to go to the official upload! As always, this is [member='Aura'], signing out until next time!
