In Sun and Moon a new feature was introduced to replace HM moves; Ride Pokémon! They were Tauros(boulder breaking on land), Stoutland(item finding), Lapras(surfing), Charizard(flying), Mudsdale(travel across rough terrain), Sharpedo(boulder breaking on water), and Machamp(move boulders). With Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, what new Ride Pokémon would you like to see? What field effects would you like them to do? I think it would be neat if we could dive underwater with Lanturn or travel up waterfalls with Gyarados. Perhaps we could even hop on a Drifblim and float across magma!
I want to see a variety of possible ride Pokémon for each function for more personalization. For example, being able to use Rhyhorn or Bouffalant instead of Tauros. Also, I definitely want a rideable Rapidash. It would probably just serve as a faster was of moving around, along the lines of the Mach Bike in the Hoenn games.
maybe do something like a ride gigalith crossing magma. I'd also like to see a soaring feature return for Charizard glide too.
Basically every flying type big enough can be used for the flying ride Pokémon, so I hope that GF comes with something new than just Charizard. Also I am hoping for Arcanine to be rideable.
Yeah, Latios, and Latias counted in ORAS Riding across lava on a fire type would be awesome. Magcargo, maybe?
It would be nice if we could have a way to register our own Pokémon. Like make it possible to use Pokémon like Lapras, Sharpedo, etc for surfing and if we have a Pokémon in our party that's a surfing type, be able to use it instead of Lapras or Sharpedo.
That would be really cool! I'm scared that I'm getting too attached to the idea of Mareep as a ride Pokémon...if USM/Gen 8 doesn't have it, I'll be crushed
Cut is still a possible HM...but I don't know... Flygon. I need to fly on a Flygon. Maybe in the desert exclusively or something? #MissingNo
This is an interesting thread. As some of the other people have said, it would be pretty cool to be able to register your own ride Pokémon. I'd personally love to fly on a Staraptor or Talonflame, or ride on a Luxray. But if anything, I really wish that we could have the Soar function again. I've heard that that was a lot of fun in ORAS, and I'd love to soar on one of my favorite flying type Pokémon!
Wow I didn't even think about that! It would be amazing if you could register a Pokémon of your choice to perform a certain field action. Like for example let's say you catch a Gyarados, Starmie, Corsola, etc. and they are all compatible with a "ride over water" ride feature. Then you can register which one you want to ride on whenever you want to ride over water and switch it whenever you want in another tab or something.
I think it'd be really cool if they somehow implemented a sort of "it's a Ride Pokémon but not really" feature with Solgaleo and Lunala, and you can use it to travel between dimensions to find more Ultra Beasts, or even travel to other player's games!
I would absolutely love to ride the ocean waves on the back of a Wailord. Likely for long-distance travel, like a cruise ship. But that's just me.
I think wailemr and pepplierper might be new ride Pokémon in Ultra sun and Ultra moon because i saw them in hte sun and moon Pokémon anime.
That sounds so cool! I'm thinking of a ride gyarados that surfs and can travel up waterfalls. There are still plenty of HM moves that weren't covered by previous ride Pokémon, so it's pretty likely that we'll see some new rides in USUM.
