Pokémon Sun & Moon Discovery Discussion Thread [Contains Story Spoilers]

It would also make for a very nice little storyline where you and/or Lillie helped it along the way to becoming a legendary.

I've got to say, if we get to raise little Cosmic Poot, and eventually it blossoms into a Legendary (which I'm 99.99% sure will be the case), I'll probably be more endeared to Solgaleo and Lunaala than any other Legend. It's a really smart play on GF's part.

I wondered if it might be Electric/Rock. It's got what looks like metal shavings stuck to it, sort of like Probopass, but I wonder if maybe it's a result of electrical energy?

What about Alolan Dugtrio?

Ground/Fairy, Ground/Fire, and Ground/Electric are my guesses.

 

[Wingulltrainer]

Not necessarily, it's just longer.

Completing a trial and beating a Totem might not always be as hard as solving a puzzle and defeating a whole Gym full of Trainers.

I hope not; puzzles are my least favorite aspect of the games.

I agree with the idea that you can have multiple Cosmog and "Galaxy Eye", but only one can evolve into Solgaleo or Lunala.

Something I'd think would be really interesting is if when Solgaleo and Lunala appear, they end up being entirely new Pokemon that didn't exist until that very moment. Most legendaries are ones that already exist or are known about in game, so imagine if a legendary is just born in-game and therefore no one knows about it yet?

Tapu fini is amazing. I'm absolutely loving this pokemon. I hope it will end up being great!

That would be super interesting, seeing the birth of a new legend. Though, the descriptions for Solgaleo/Lunala say they've been honored "since ancient times."

 

[Trainer Yusuf]

Magearnas shiny form is literally the same as that form but it doesnt really fit into the lore behind it

That's not the shiny. Both forms have different shinies(The second form has an Ultra Ball form as a shiny.)

 

[Rio!]

Hm, interesting takes on Cosmog.
They kind of remind me of Unknown in a way (tied to certain legendaries/ancient language, etc) so it does seem highly plausible for it to have ties with Lunala and Solgaleo. Especially with it being called 'The Nebula Pokemon' with galactic references and such. I'm going to have a giggling fit if it only knows one move though, not gonna lie.

It was actually said by people who got to play the first two hours. So yeah, this takes place before you even get to choose your starter. But Tapu Koko saves you as the bridge collapses while you still have Cosmog. Let's call it Nebby as people say Lillie called it.

Where have you heard this? Is it in a video? Please post the link if so. :3

You can hear some conversations from Gamexplain cause one of them got to play. You can also just google first two hours and you'll see plenty of other reviews, but here's a link to one. https://www.sweetyhigh.com/read/pokemon-sun-moon-gameplay-secrets-101916

Thank you so much!

Recent trailer also confirms the dex order.

Vikavolt is shown to evolve at Level 40(IIRC, we have seen it at lower levels).

Alolan Exeggutor is shown to evolve with Leaf Stone.

 

[Zoruagible]

Level 40?! Damn...... that's a high level for a Bug.

I wonder if Alolan Vulpix still evolves with the Fire stone though, it really wouldn't make sense. I'm thinking it'll use the shiny stone.

 

[Trainer Yusuf]

^Ice Stone was confirmed to be thing ages ago.

 

[JVLightningLover]

Level 40?! Damn...... that's a high level for a Bug.

Yep, but that can only be a good thing, as it points to Vikavolt likely having pretty good stats.

 

[bobross]

the level scaling can be stupid like it was in xy and be at the level 40 mark around halfway through the game

 

[Erron Black]

Well I hope those of you who plan on using Vikavolt enjoy using a breadbox throughout most of your adventure!

 

[Graficcha]

Hm. With three brand new starter moves revealed, I wonder what that means for the other three (throat chop, aurora veil, laser focus, was it?) that have been floating around being pegged as possibly starter-unique new moves?

Do you think it's likely they will each receive two unique moves, or will these possibly turn out to be matched to some of the other new 'mons we're getting?

I suppose they're all back up for grabs.

Have they been confirmed as moves or could they possibly be Abilities? If they can be abilities, my bets are that they're the starters' hidden abilities.

 

[Trainer Yusuf]

^@Graficcha: I'm guessing neither. Aurora Veil will likely be given to weak Ice-types, Throat Chop will likely be given to a variety of Fighting-types and become a Move Tutor later-on and Laser Focus will likely be given to Lock-On users and some other guys.

Edit: @Erron Black: Yes, they are moves.

Ah okay, I guess it's possible the starters could learn them, but I doubt they'll be exclusive moves.
