Today, new Pokemon are announced such as Fomantis and its evolved form Lurantis, Gumshoos (the evolved form of Yangoos), Minior, Mudbray (which evolves to Mudsdale), and Oricorio (with four different variations). In addition, familiar Pokemon have been given Alola forms such as Exeggutor, Vulpix, Ninetails, Sandshrew, and Sandslash.

Z-Moves can be used once per battle but you can experience it on the real world as Takara Tomy announced a Z-Ring toy for sale, coinciding the launch of the games.
