A new Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon trailer has been released and Pokemon.com has been updated, revealing information about the upcoming games’ Legendary duo, a Rotom-possessed Pokédex, and several NPCs.
Pokémon Sun‘s Legendary is called Solgaleo. It is a Psychic/Steel type with Full Metal Body as its Ability and Sunsteel Strike as its signature move. Full Metal Body does not allow Solgaleo’s stats to be lowered by opponents’ moves or abilities. Slogaleo charges at its enemies with the force of a meteor when it uses Sunsteel Strike, ignoring the target’s Ability. Pokemon.com describes Solgaleo even further.
Since ancient times, Solgaleo has been honored as an emissary of the sun. It 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’s active. It has a flowing mane with a remarkable resemblance to the sun.
Pokémon Moon‘s Legendary is called Lunala. It is a Psychic/Ghost type with Shadow Shield as its Ability and Moongeist Beam as its signature move. Shadow Shield allows Lunala to take less damage from attacks when it has full HP. Lunala releases an ominous beam of light when it uses Moongeist Beam, ignoring the target’s Ability. Pokemon.com describes Lunala even further.
Since ancient times, Lunala has been honored as an emissary of the moon. It is 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 a crescent moon, it resembles a beautiful night sky.
