The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo today introduced the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala that can be found in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. The latest generation of Pokémon video games will launch in North America on November 18, exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. In addition to the details about these powerful Pokémon, new characters in the game and new features were also revealed.
The two legendary Pokémon that appear on the packaging of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon play a crucial role in the story. Solgaleo and Lunala hold the key to the adventure that can be found in these highly anticipated games.
Name: Solgaleo
Category: Sunne Pokémon
Height: 11′02″
Weight: 507.1 lbs.
Type: Psychic/Steel
Ability: Full Metal Body
Honored as an emissary of the sun since ancient times, Solgaleo 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 is active. It has a flowing mane with a remarkable resemblance to the sun. Its signature move is Sunsteel Strike, an attack that charges at an opponent with the force of a meteor, disregarding the target’s Ability. Solgaleo’s Ability is Full Metal Body, a new Ability that no previous Pokémon has had. With the Full Metal Body Ability, a Pokémon’s stats will not be lowered by the effects of an opponent’s moves or Ability.
Name: Lunala
Category: Moone Pokémon
Height: 13′01″
Weight: 264.6 lbs.
Type: Psychic/Ghost
Ability: Shadow Shield
Since ancient times, Lunala has been honored as an emissary of the moon. 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 the crescent moon, it resembles a beautiful night sky. Lunala’s signature Moongeist Beam attack releases an ominous beam of light that disregards the target’s Ability. Lunala’s Ability is Shadow Shield, a new Ability that no previous Pokémon has had. With the Shadow Shield Ability, a Pokémon will take less damage from an attack that lands when the Pokémon has full HP.
Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon take place in the Alola region, which centers around four tropical islands and one artificial island. Many Pokémon that have never been seen before inhabit the lush islands of the Alola region. The story begins right after the main character moves to the Alola region. After choosing to play as a hero or heroine, players can customize their character’s name and appearance. No sooner have they arrived than their adventures begin to unfold, and they meet many fascinating people as they travel through the region.
Professor Kukui is the Alola region’s Pokémon professor. The professor is passionate about his research into Pokémon moves and has sometimes taken direct hits from Pokémon if there was something to be learned from it. Sporting a white lab coat, Professor Kukui has his own unique style.
Lillie is a mysterious girl who assists the professor. This young girl is about the same age as the player’s character and is Professor Kukui’s assistant. She’s not fond of making Pokémon fight in battles, but she loves reading and has read a great number of books. Lillie will play an important role in the story of Pokémon Sun andPokémon Moon.
Hau is a Pokémon-loving young boy with a big appetite. He is the same age as the player’s character. Hau becomes one of the main character’s first friends. He has a real weakness for malasadas, a famous treat in the Alola region, and is always in search of malasada shops. Hau is a big-hearted boy who really loves Pokémon.
The Pokédex is a convenient tool that records information about the Pokémon that players see and catch during their adventure. In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, Professor Kukui provides a special Pokédex known as the Rotom Pokédex. It is inhabited by Rotom, a Pokémon with the power to reside in various electronic appliances. The Rotom Pokédex does much more than record Pokémon info—it has its own personality. Besides showing the player’s current location and their next destination, the Rotom Pokédex also provides advice on where to go next, based on the conversations players have with other characters.
In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, a QR Scanner function allows players to see information about Pokémon when they scan QR Code patterns. By scanning in special QR Code patterns, fans can register Pokémon of the Alola region to their Pokédex and find out where they live. If they scan in the QR Code for a Pokémon that they haven’t yet caught, players can check its habitat and search it out.

I’m going to scream why did they just reskin abilities we already had? Full Metal Body is the same as Clear Body and Shadow Shield is the same as Multiscale.
Uhh hello! theirs nothing wong with that u dum butt. get ur hed out of ur ignerint @$$ and just injoy the games u slut!
Never said there was something wrong with it. Just that it’s silly to advertise them as “brand new” abilities.
When they said brand new, I think they forgot to add “in name only” to the damn sentence. lol Or maybe there is so much shit to remember in the Pokemon series that even their own creators can’t remember half the shit they come up with. Give it time. When they hit 2 million Pokemon, they’ll eventually give us a new Pokemon that looks exactly like Pikachu but simply has a different name & type. Oh wait. They already did just that. Only it was Pichu, not Pikachu. *cough*Plusle&Minun*cough*
Then again, those two were at least still Electric types.
i almost read ‘Full Metal Body’ as ‘Full Metal Alchemist’
Solgaleo – should’ve been psychic/fire, as fire represents the sun.
Lunaala – should’ve been psychic/dark, as dark represent the moon.
One job.
The sun isn’t made out of fire and the dark type is actually evil type and the moon isn’t evil.
The sun is made out of burning gas.
“Burning”
“Fire”
But it’s not gas. It’s plasma. By your logic, Solgaleo should be part Electric.
Hey, even Psychic/Electric would have been better than Steel/Psychic. I mean, he’s freaking weak to Fire. That makes no sense!
The sun is mostly comprised of hydrogen, which is a gas, so technically, that’s not wrong.
That’s not how it works. Hydrogen isn’t always in a gaseous state. That’s like saying liquid nitrogen is actually a gas, since nitrogen is usually a gas. The state of hydrogen can change based on temperature – like how water (a liquid) can be frozen into a solid or heated into a gas. Heat something enough and it becomes a plasma.
What? Plasma is just gas in an ionized state. That’s irrelevant.
Whether you call it gas or plasma, it’s still “burning”. It’s undergoing combustion. It produces heat.
Fire.
Lunala should have been Psychic/Water, representing the movement of the tide.
The QR Scanner seems overpowered. Why bother looking for Pokemon when you can just scan a bunch of codes at the start of the journey and find out where all of the useful ones are?
If only that QR was an optional feature!!!
I agree with what Lunala’s type should have been, although Dark would have fit, too.I disagree with the QR Scanner thing. Why? Because people can just go online to find out where to find the Pokemon or they can just buy the eventual player’s guide that Prima eventually make & sell.
I was thinking Psychic Fire and Dark Fairy
Uhh hello! i like knew pokeman because they r kool and reely coot! #lels i want too ride that sungaleo over the the ranebow because i love it!
Rotom sure sounds like a direct clone of Porygon to me.
And you people should know by now, I love that little virtual freak.
Rotom has been around since 4th gen.
Yes. It has.
I see rotom as like a direct opposite
Porygon is like a man made program out in nature
Rotom is a Natural likeminded in man made devices
Pokemon* not likeminded. My phone does the silliest things.
I see it as an abomination! :)
What shiftyflower said. It’s nowhere near the same as Porygon. Besides, Rotom is much cooler.
I highly disagree. Do some research. It’s a way less cool version of Porygon.
:)
Definitely going to get this game on launch day!

Why am I not excited for this game? I can’t figure it out because I’ve been a Pokemon fan since the beginning and always excited for each new installment…Oh well, I’m probably just over thinking or something.
I love the trainer’s names it’s not bad bad after all and the legendary Pokemon body’s are quite strong and accurate.
‘Praise the Sun’
Same old same old. Like every other Pokémon game I’ll probly buy it. Be really disappointed and then trade it in later.. at least I always give it a chance lol
Look up “Lion devouring the sun” and “Alchemy” you dimwits. The Psychic Steel typing makes sense after you find that.
If everything related to alchemy was common knowledge, you’d have a good reason to use the term dimwits. In other words, you’re just being a know-it-all asshole.
