Pokémon Sun & Moon
Following the leak last night, the Japanese Youtube has uploaded the footage for the new Pokémon and Alola Form Raichu that were revealed last night. It also confirms that Wishiwashi will change back from School Form to Solo Form after it has received a certain amount of damage and that Pyukumuku's ability seems to caught the opponent to take damage when it faints. This footage also reveals Team Skull and showcases that they use Pokémon inside their Ultra Balls and Nest Balls, rather than the standard Poké Ball which is a first for the series
08:38: Our New Pokémon, Alola Form Pokémon & New Abilities pages have been updated with these Pokémon.
14:05: English trailer added
14:10: Clarification on the Innards Out ability: With the Innards Out Ability, when this Pokémon faints, it will be able to deal one last bit of damage to its opponent, equal to the amount of HP it had left before it received the final blow.
Edit @ 15:20: Created a page for Team Skull
