A new trailer for Pokémon Sun and Moon has revealed an incredible amount of new information.
Alola Forms
In the Alola region, a number of Generation I Pokémon have alternate forms, known as Alola Forms.
Alolan Exeggutor is Grass/Dragon-type and has the Ability Frisk. It has an incredibly long neck. Alolan Exeggutor has a fourth head on its tail which controls the tail independently. Exeggcute does not have an Alola Form, with Exeggcute in its regular appearance evolving into Alolan Exeggutor.
Alolan Vulpix is Ice-type and Alolan Ninetales is Ice/Fairy-type. They both have the Ability Snow Cloak. They are colored white. Alola Form Vulpix can learn Ice Beam, and Alolan Ninetales can learn what appears to be Blizzard.
Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash are both Ice/Steel-type and both have the Ability Snow Cloak. Alolan Sandshrew can learn Ice Ball, and Alolan Sandslash can learn what appears to be Metal Claw. Alolan Sandshrew is slower than regular Sandshrew, but is heavier and has better defenses, although it cannot curl into a ball. Alolan Sandslash are heavier than normal Sandslash, and so are also slower.

New Pokémon
The new Pokémon Oricorio has four different "styles", one on each for Alola's islands. Baile Style is Fire/Flying-type. Pom-Pom Style is Electric/Flying. Pa'u Style is Psychic/Flying. Sensu Style is Ghost/Flying. Oricorio is the only Pokémon that can learn the new move Revelation Dance, which changes type with Oricorio's style to match its primary type. Oricorio has the new Ability Dancer, which copies dance moves used by other Pokémon.
The new Pokémon Minior is Rock/Flying and has the new Ability Shields Down. While its shell is intact, it has excellent defenses and cannot be afflicted by status conditions. When its HP drops below half, its Ability Shields down activates, and its core is exposed, which is faster and more suited to attacking. Minior's Core comes in a variety of different colors.
The new Pokémon Gumshoos is Normal-type and the Evolution of Yungoos. It can have either Stakeout (a new Ability previously revealed as one of Yungoos's Abilities) or Strong Jaw as its Ability. Its method of targeting prey is the opposite of Yungoos's; while Yungoos prowls around, Gumshoos stakes out its prey's usual routes and waits patiently for it to come by. It's able to stay perfectly still while waiting for its prey, keeping watch without eating.
The new Pokémon Fomantis is Grass-type and has the Ability Leaf Guard. It can learn the moves Razor Leaf and Solar Beam
The new Pokémon Lurantis is Grass-type and has the Ability Leaf Guard. It is the evolved form of Fomantis. Lurantis can learn the new move Solar Blade, which is a two-turn move; like Solar Beam, the Pokémon takes in sunlight on the first turn, then unleashes its power on the second turn. It's said to be the most gorgeous of all Grass-type Pokémon, due to its brilliant coloration and elegant moves. Lurantis draws opponents near to itself with its flower-like appearance and aroma, then takes them down.
The new Pokémon Mudbray is Ground-type and the pre-evolution of Mudsdale. It can have either Own Tempo or Stamina as its Ability. Mudbray could once be found all over the world, but it was overhunted and ended up on the verge of extinction; it's said that the Alola region is the only place in the world where Mudbray can still be found in the wild. Mudbray boasts superhuman strength, being able to carry loads up to 50 times its own weight on its back or dragging behind it.

At the end of each trial, the player battles a Totem Pokémon. A Totem Pokémon is much larger than others of their species, and its body is enveloped in a special aura. Totem Pokémon can call on other Pokémon for help, summoning them to battle at the Totem Pokémon's side; some Pokémon other than Totem Pokémon can also call for help.
- Totem Gumshoos has an aura that boosts its Defense. It can call on Yungoos to aid it in battle.
- Totem Lurantis is the Totem Pokémon of Lush Jungle, the site of an Akala Island trial.
The final trial of each island is called the grand trial. It is a Pokémon battle against the kahuna, who leads that island. If the player cleats the grand trial, they will be recognized as having cleared all of that island's trials. Island Kahuna Hala is the kahuna of Melemele Island.
