\nType: Fighting
\nThe Teamwork Pok\u00e9mon Passimian attack by throwing Berries at their foes. They tend to live in troops of 20\u201330 Passimian, who all follow one leader. These tribes work in teams to train and improve their skills. This Pok\u00e9mon has the Ability Receiver, an Ability which no previous Pok\u00e9mon has had.

\nType: Normal\/Psychic
\nThe Sage Pok\u00e9mon Oranguru live in the solitary deeps of the Alolan forests and, in fact, were once known as ‘the people of the forests’. Oranguru hold a fan-like object made of leaves and are known to be kind to other Pok\u00e9mon in the forest, often giving injured Pok\u00e9mon medicine or hungry Pok\u00e9mon food. This Pok\u00e9mon can exclusively learn the new move Instruct, a move which can make the selected target use its most recent move again immediately. Oranguru only appear in Pok\u00e9mon Moon<\/em>.<\/p>\n
\nType: Rock
\nIn the world of Pok\u00e9mon Sun, Rockruff is bathed in profuse amounts of solar energy, and Solgaleo’s influence causes this Pok\u00e9mon to evolve into Lycanroc’s Midday Form. This form is known for speedy movement which can confound its opponents. A very loyal Pok\u00e9mon, Lycanroc Midday Form dodges opponents’ strikes whilst attacking with the sharp rocks of its mane. Lycanroc Midday Form can learn Accelerock, a new move unique to the Pok\u00e9mon, which is guaranteed to strike first, damaging opponents by slamming into them very quickly.<\/p>\n
\nType: Rock
\nIn the world of Pok\u00e9mon Moon, Rockruff is bathed in an abundance of lunar energy, and Lunala’s influence causes this Pok\u00e9mon to evolve into Lycanroc’s Midnight Form. This Pok\u00e9mon will sacrifice its own safety to strike down its foes. The stronger an opponent is, the more excited Lycanroc Midnight Form becomes, its eyes glowing with the thrill of battle. This Pok\u00e9mon feels a deep trust towards a Trainer who can draw forth its true power.<\/p>\n
\nExclusive Z-Move name: Catastropika
\nPikachu’s exclusive Z-Move, Catastropika, is a super-powered attack move where Pikachu borrows its Trainer’s strength, wraps itself in extra-high-voltage electric power, and charges into its opponents. This is Pikachu’s most powerful attack.<\/p>\n
\nExclusive Z-Move name: Extreme Evoboost
\nEevee’s exclusive Z-Move, Extreme Evoboost, gathers together Sylveon, Jolteon and more \u2013 all of the eight Pok\u00e9mon that Eevee can evolve into \u2013 and grants their powers to Eevee. This highly powerful move raises Eevee’s Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def and Speed by 2.<\/p>\n
