Included are new Pok\u00e9mon, Alolan variants, as well as a few more trainers.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the information, images of the new characters, as well as a trailer for the game below.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<b>Silvally<\/b><br \/>\nType: Normal<br \/>\nThe Synthetic Pok\u00e9mon Silvally is the evolution of Type: Null. This Pok\u00e9mon changes its type when exclusive items are inserted into the drive on its head, and its somatic cells mutate and glow with different colors of light depending on its type. Silvally has the new Ability RKS System, which causes this Pok\u00e9mon to change type when holding specific type-related items. It also has the exclusive move Multi-Attack, an attack which changes depending on which type-related item it is holding.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hakamo-o<\/b><br \/>\nType: Dragon-Fighting<br \/>\nHakamo-o is the Evolution of Jangmo-o. Hakamo-o dance before battle to show their strength, clanging their scales together. A solitary Pok\u00e9mon that enjoys training alone, its scales are often torn off, but they grow back nearly immediately. Hakamo-o view the number of lost scales as proof of how ferociously they have fought in battle.<\/p>\n<p><b>Kommo-o<\/b><br \/>\nType: Dragon-Fighting<br \/>\nKommo-o is the Evolution of Hakamo-o. There is a legend that says Kommo-o are covered in glittering scales in order to drive away a great darkness covering the world. This Pok\u00e9mon can learn the new move Clanging Scales. When using this attack, Kommo-o scrapes the scales covering its body against one another, attacking with a loud clamor. After using this move, Kommo-o\u2019s Defense is lowered.<\/p>\n<p><b>Steenee<\/b><br \/>\nType: Grass<br \/>\nThe Fruit Pok\u00e9mon Steenee is the Evolution of Bounsweet. The calyx on this Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s head is very hard, and Steenee attacks by smacking its opponent with it, combined with kicks from its tough legs. This Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s fragrance is even more delectable than that of Bounsweet.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tsareena<\/b><br \/>\nType: Grass<br \/>\nOnly the strongest of Steenee are able to evolve into Tsareena. A very noble Pok\u00e9mon, Tsareena use their strength to protect and rule over Bounsweet as their queen. This Pok\u00e9mon attacks with very powerful, majestic kicks and uses its powerful fragrance to mesmerize its opponents. Some Tsareena have the exclusive new ability Queenly Majesty, which prevents opponents from using priority moves.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ribombee<\/b><br \/>\nType: Bug-Fairy<br \/>\nRibombee is the Evolution of Cutiefly. This Pok\u00e9mon collects flower nectar and pollen to make into balls, known as Pollen Puffs, which it can then launch at its opponent in battle. Some of the Pollen Puffs that Ribombee make also have relaxing effects or can relieve tiredness. These Pollen Puffs are distributed all over the Alola region.<\/p>\n<p><b>Alolan Grimer<\/b><br \/>\nType: Poison-Dark<br \/>\nAs the population of the Alola region increased, dealing with garbage became a serious problem. As a solution, Grimer were imported from other regions and fed primarily on garbage, so their body composition changed\u2014as did their form. What appear to be teeth in this Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s mouth are in fact residual toxins from the garbage it eats, which have hardened and crystallized. There are more than a hundred Alolan Grimer in Alola\u2019s garbage-processing plants.<\/p>\n<p><b>Alolan Muk<\/b><br \/>\nType: Poison-Dark<br \/>\nAlolan Muk evolves from Alolan Grimer. The Muk in the Alola region produce and store their toxins within their bodies so, unlike Muk in other regions, you won\u2019t detect any unpleasant aromas when you draw near one. Alolan Muk has the same poisonous crystals as Alolan Grimer, but they are all over the surface of its body. Alolan Muk uses them to attack, just like other Pok\u00e9mon use their fangs or claws.<\/p>\n<p>Two new characters who will appear in the <i>Pok\u00e9mon Sun<\/i> and <i>Pok\u00e9mon Moon<\/i> games were also announced. Introducing Olivia and Ilima:<\/p>\n<p><b>Olivia<\/b><br \/>\nOlivia is the kahuna of Akala Island, the second island you visit across your island challenge. She is extraordinarily skilled and has served as a kahuna since a young age. Although highly skilled, she insists that she is just a normal girl.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ilima<\/b><br \/>\nA graduate of the Trainers\u2019 school and an expert in Normal-type Pok\u00e9mon, Captain Ilima is considered a hero by the students of his former school.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RQ4I_0DP4fc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><center> <\/p>\n<div class=\"tumblr-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/embed.tumblr.com\/embed\/post\/jQUko9niqkGxW6XoVVWQ4w\/151851762410\" data-did=\"53498727d8404aafcb73a078a0dc428f85b27a90\"><a href=\"http:\/\/darkainartsgamers.tumblr.com\/post\/151851762410\/more-at-httpgamersdarkainartscom\">http:\/\/darkainartsgamers.tumblr.com\/post\/151851762410\/more-at-httpgamersdarkainartscom<\/a><\/div>\n<p>  <script async src=\"https:\/\/assets.tumblr.com\/post.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pok\u00e9mon Company and Nintendo revealed even more new information for the latest games in the Pok\u00e9mon franchise, Pok\u00e9mon Sun and Pok\u00e9mon Moon, which arrive on the Nintendo 3DS in North America on November 18th.
