Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon is getting a plethora of new information revealed, both in the forms of new trailers and story elements being revealed by Nintendo.

The new trailers revealed a new look for the game's protagonist, along with characters from Sun and Moon in more prominent roles, such as the Dragon Tamer Ryuki and Elite Four member Kahili. No new Pokémon were revealed, outside of more information on Dusk form Lycanroc, who will have the ability Tough Claws and be able to learn the two exclusive moves found in the other two Lycanroc forms.

A second trailer revealed more information on a new Z-move, exclusive to the Pokémon Kommo-o. The move, Clangorous Soulblaze, does massive damage to multiple opponents, making it the first Z-move to hit more than one Pokémon. In addition to this, Clangorous Soulblaze also raises each of Kommo-o's stats by one, making it a powerful option for the Fighting/Dragon - type.
