Well... my dumbass decided to spoil myself with some USUM news just like I did with SM. Well, time to share my knowledge with you guys. BE WARNED. SPOILERS ARE GUARANTEED. There will be a spoiler tag to prevent people from accidentally clicking on this topic and being spoiled. But if you do click the tag, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. With that out of the way, lets do this. Spoiler: I'M WARNIN YA! New Tutor Moves have been revealed and OH MY ARCEUS ARE THEY GOOD. With moves like Defog AND Stealth Rocks being tutor moves, this will shatter the competitive scene. Spoiler: Tutor Moves Bug Bite Covet Super Fang Dual Chop Signal Beam Iron Head Seed Bomb Drill Run Bounce Low Kick Gunk Shot Uproar Thunder Punch Fire Punch Ice Punch Magic Coat Block Earth Power Foul Play Gravity Magnet Rise Iron Defense Last Resort Superpower Electroweb Icy Wind Aqua Tail Zen Headbutt Dragon Pulse Hyper Voice Iron Tail Bind Snore Knock Off Synthesis Heat Wave Role Play Heal Bell Tailwind Sky Attack Pain Split Giga Drain Drain Punch Focus Punch Shock Wave Water Pulse Gastro Acid Worry Seed Spite After You Helping Hand Trick Magic Room Wonder Room Endeavor Outrage Recycle Snatch Stealth Rock Skill Swap Telekinesis Ally Switch Defog Liquidation Stomping Tantrum Throat Chop Laser Focus Major Pokémon that now get access to Defog include, Landorus, Rotom, Blaziken, Talonflame, Florges, KLEFKI, Tapu Koko and Tapu Fini. The rest of them can be found HERE Another UB, another Necrozma Form and another Mythical have been revealed as well. What's interesting about this is that Adhesive EVOLVES into the new UB. An Ultra Beast that can evolve. Adhesive evolves into what is called UB Sticky when it levels up with the move Dragon Pulse, and it changes from being pure Poison into being Poison/Dragon (RIP Dragalge's uniqueness). Spoiler: UB Sticky The new Mythical is called Zeraora which is an Electric Type. Spoiler: Zeraora Finally Necrozma seems to have a third form called Ultra Necrozma, This thing is going straight into AG because it is STRONGER than Mega Rayquaza. Spoiler: Ultra Necrozma Also the stats of every new Pokémon revealed have been leaked as well. Spoiler: Stats Dusk Mane Necrozma: 97/157/127/113/109/077 Dawn Wings Necrozma: 97/113/109/157/127/077 Ultra Necrozma: 97/167/97/167/97/129 Dusk Lycanroc 75/117/65/55/65/110 Poipole (UB Adhesive): 67/73/67/73/67/73 Naganadel (UB Sticky): 73/73/73/127/73/121 Stakataka (UB Assembly): 61/131/211/53/101/13 Blacephalon (UB Burst): 53/127/53/151/79/107 Zeraora: 88/112/75/102/80/143 A previous thread already mentioned the music being leaked so for the sake of not being redundant, I will not cover that. There are also new Z-Crystals, We already know that Lunala, Solgaleo, Dusk Form Lycanroc and Kommo-o get new Z-Moves, but in the leaks both Mimikyu and Ultra Necrozma get one as well. Necrozma's Z-Move most likely links up with Prismatic Laser but it is unconfirmed as of now, Mimikyu's is currently unknown. New Move: Plasma Fists: The user attacks with electrically charged fists. This move changes Normal type moves to Electric type moves. Most likely the signature move of Zeraora. New Ability: Neuroforce Powers up super effective moves. Most likely Ultra Necrozma's signature ability. Story and Gameplay Elements: Oh boy here we go. I will put a spoiler tag here as well to prevent backlash against me. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Spoiler: WARNIN YA! Major Changes: Hau takes Kukui's spot as Champion and has a Noviern and a Tauros Text implies that Ash is in the game, Most likely due to Ash-Greninja. Unused text implies that there was supposed to be a scene with Lusamine at the end of Sun and Moon. The reason this was cut is currently unknown. Colress has a fusion device for Necrozma (SOUND FAMILIAR) and it differs between forms. You can also have both Dawn Wing and Dusk Mane Necrozma in your party at the same time. UB Adhesive is given to you after you catch Necrozma Beast Balls can be purchased for 1,000p. (Have fun breeders) Wormhole Legends are NOT Shiny Locked Ultra Beasts ARE NOT Shiny Locked. Necrozma, Solgaleo, Lunala and the Tapu's are still shiny locked. There is also a "Kantonian Gym" challenge at the end of the game. What this is is currently unknown however we speculate that Kanto Gym Leaders will be involved. Molayne (Remember him?) is now an Elite 4 Member with the team of Klefki, Bisharp, Magnezone, Metagross and Alolan Dugtrio. Rainbow Rocket seem to have their own "Ubers" teams. Giovanni has Mewtwo Archie has Kyogre Maxie has Groudon Cyrus has Dialga/Palkia depending on the version Ghetsis has Zekrom/Reshiram again depending on the version Lysandre has Yveltal/Xerneas once again depending on the version. The version exclusive Wormhole Legends have been revealed. Ultra Sun: Ho-oh Raikou Groudon Latios Dialga Heatran Reshiram Tornadus Xerneas Ultra Moon: Lugia Entei Kyogre Latias Palkia Regigigas Zekrom Thundurus Yveltal Lusamine and Guzma can be Title Defense Challengers. Minor Changes: Gladion has a Zoroark and a Kanto Starter. Guzma has a Vikavolt instead of an Ariados Lillie is a Battle Tree partner Still no National Dex Kommo-o now gets Close Combat Hapu is now fought on Exeggutor Island Well that's it. See you November 18th!
Spoiler: Discussion on new mons I'm seriously in love with Nagandel's design, it just screams awesomeness. Suuuuure it looks a little Mega Beedrilly, but it's a freakin Purple Dragon Space Wasp. How cool is that? Shame you get it so late in the game, but I'm for sure putting it on my team once I get my hands on one!

Ultra Necrozma's Z Move is called "Light that Burns the Sky" it is a Base 200 Special Psychic type move. It is over Prismatic Laser. If you want to see the Move Tutor moves for each Pokémon click HERE Spoiler: Regional Dex All the Pokémon from the previous Dex are still in the game, here are the new Pokémon they added (I see my boy Heracross)
Cool! So this means we’ll be getting some more entries on the ‘Dex! I wonder if we’ll be getting a National one too.
Spoiler: On the subject of move tutors... I am going to DREAD seeing Knock Off Toxapex's rise through the meta. An already tanky mon now can get rid of items that could give you hope of beating/outwaiting it
*screams at volumes usually only accessible to sonar* Spoiler Zeraora's design is absolutely kick-ass. Ultra Necrozma looks like some sort of godly being, and... Wait. Poison/Dragon? The Sticky thing is Poison/Dragon? WELP THERE GOES MY LAST FREAKING CHANCE AT BUG/DRAGON Like, really, Game Freak. I might have to do some serious stepping-back in our relationship if you keep holding out on me like this. In other notes, the move pool is an answered prayer. Elemental punches, IRON TAIL; US/UM is an absolute dream. And Hau. HAU.
