Zeraora is the final new Pokemon that will be available to the seventh generation of the games, closing out the Sun/Moon era. We’ve known of its existence since earlier in the year, but so far, it’s been unobtainable, short of you hacking your game.

Now, however, you will finally be able to get your hands on one— The Pokemon Company has announced that Zeraora will be obtainable at GameStop stores in the United States this month.

It’s very important to note that you must have Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, last year’s expansions to 2016’s Pokemon Sun/Moon, to be able to get your hands on the new Mythical Pokemon, who frankly looks like Sonic the Hedgehog fan-fiction gone terribly wrong. You also don’t need to live in the US to get your hands on it— it’ll be available in equivalent stores, such as EB Games in Canada, or GAME in Europe, as well. You’ll probably want to check your regional Pokemon website for full details.

You can check out a trailer giving us another look at him below.

The final Pokemon in the Gen 7 Pokédex, Zeraora, has been revealed. Zeraora is an anthropomorphized wolf-like creature that is an Electric Type. Much like other Pokemon that conclude the Pokedexes for their region, he is a Mythical, and will be available only via distributions. He will also be the star of the upcoming Pokemon movie, that launches in Japan later this year (and presumably, the rest of the world as well).

Zeroara’s reveal is important for another reason—with him finally being revealed, and his arc playing out in the anime, movies, games, and merchandizing, it means that generation 7 of Pokemon– the generation that was encompassed by Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon—is now finished. This means that nothing now stands in the way of the next generation, which will presumably be what the Switch game will turn out to be. In simple terms—the next time there is a major Pokemon related announcement, it should be regarding the Switch game.

Zeraora will come to Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon (not Sun/Moon) only later this year. You can check out the trailer revealing him for yourself below.

NPD’s newest report is out, and the PS4 emerged on top with a jaw dropping performance, having its best month ever in North America, period. The Xbox One had an excellent month as well, with it driving the most revenue in November of any console, and also having its best November. Nintendo’s Switch did well, and continued to drive growth in the market over last year.

On the software front, Call of Duty: World War 2 topped charts, predictably enough. It did so well that it has instantly become the highest selling game of 2017 in USA, and also had the best opening for the series since Black Ops 2 all the way back in 2012. Assassin’s Creed Origins was another big winner, seeing the biggest month the franchise has had since 2013 and Black Flag. NBA 2K, Madden, FIFA, Super Mario Odyssey, and Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon all managed to get a peak in with great number as well, while Switch exclusives Zelda and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe got into the top 20, buoyed by the performance of the system.

It was, overall, a great month for the industry, as well as for every major player- now it remains to be seen if the industry can sustain this kind of performance (not with these exact numbers, but with having three healthy systems on the market) going forward into 2018.

In this guide, we walk you through seeing and doing that stuff- we will be walking you through the Z-Moves, locations for Legendary Pokemon and Ultra Beasts, Totem Stickers, Trial Captains, Poke-Rides, farming EXP and Money, EV training, and farming Heart Scales. So let’s get started.

Z-MOVES

Z-Moves are the new mechanic introduced in last year’s game, where, by having your Pokemon hold a specific item, you can charge and level up their moves and make them more spectacular ‘finishers’. Most Z-Moves are generic, and based on Type- some Z-Moves, on the other hand specifically power up a very exact move in your Pokemon’s move pool.

Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon introduce over two dozen new Z-Moves to the game- you can check them all out in the video below:

RARE, LEGENDARY POKEMON AND ULTRA BEASTS

There are a ridiculous amount of Legendary Pokemon and Ultra Beasts (the not-really-Legendary-Pokemon-but-let’s-face-it-they-are-Legendary) in Sun/Moon. Game Freak decided to go nuts and tap into six generations’ worth of Legendary Pokemon, in addition to the Legendaries, Mysticals, Ultra Beasts, and Tapu Guardians, that Sun/Moon already had, and put them in this one game.

To be specific, there are 37 Legendaries that you can get your hands on- some of these will be encountered naturally in the story, while others you run into by looking for them. Basically, you have to find them in Ultra Space. In Ultra Space, you will encounter Orange orbs- collect as many of these as you can, these increase your chances of finding Legendaries. Additionally, you will also run into Wormholes of different colors- each of these hide certain Pokemon behind them, for you to catch. Remember, Ultra Beasts can be farmed indefinitely, but a Legendary can only be caught once.

Remember, Ultra Poipole, Lulala and Solgaleo will be encountered in the story (based on what version you are playing); the four Tapo Guardians can be encountered at the shrine at each island once you win the Pokemon League (except Tapo Koko, whom you battle in the main story’s epilogue).

Now for the others, here’s the breakdown:

White Wormholes: 

• Pheromosa
• Xurkitree
• Celesteela
• Kartana
• Nihilego
• Buzzwole
• Guzzlord

Blue Wormholes:

• Legendary Lugia
• Legendary Mesprit
• Legendary Azelf
• Legendary Kyurem: Needs Reshiram and Zekrom
• Legendary Latias
• Legendary Latios
• Legendary Kyogre
• Legendary Uxie
• Legendary Suicune: Needs Entei and Raikou

Green Wormholes:

• Legendary Terrakion
• Legendary Virizion
• Legendary Mewtwo
• Legendary Xerneas
• Legendary Cobalion
• Legendary Raikou
• Legendary Entei
• Legendary Dialga
• Legendary Reshiram
• Legendary Zekrom

Red Wormholes:

• Legendary Articuno
• Legendary Zapdos
• Legendary Moltres
• Legendary Cresselia
• Legendary Tornadus
• Legendary Thundurus
• Legendary Landorus: Needs Tornadus and Thundurus
• Legendary Yveltal
• Legendary Ho-Oh
• Legendary Rayquaza: Needs Kyogre and Groudon

Yellow Wormholes:

• Legendary Articuno
• Legendary Zapdos
• Legendary Moltres
• Legendary Ho-Oh
• Legendary Cresselia
• Legendary Tornadus
• Legendary Thundurus
• Legendary Landorus: Needs Tornadus and Thundurus
• Legendary Rayquaza: Needs Kyogre and Groudon
• Legendary Yveltal

NECROZMA

One thing I am sure you noticed was that Necrozma is missing from that list above- the reason is simple- he warrants his own section.

Necrozma is captured in the post-game: you must make your way to the top of Mount Lanalika to catch him. My advice would be to save your Master Ball for him, since he is really hard to capture otherwise. Once you catch him, Colress will give you items to fuse him with Solgaleo and Lunala.

NEW ITEMS

Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon add in a lot of new items to the game; as any long time player of the games has known, items in Pokemon are hugely important, and they can often mean the difference between victory and defeat. Items in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon are every bit as useful as this tradition would suggest.

• Blue Petal & Green Petal
  Found in the Lush Jungle, you need to collect seven of each for Mina’s Trial

  It’s just a novelty badge you can get at the Kantonian Gym.

ROTO LOTO POKEDEX

The upgraded Roto Loto Pokedex is actually going to be very useful for you- it restores the Z-Powers from Pokemon X/Y, which gave you buffs and perks to make your life as a Pokemon Trainer easier. you can find a full list of the new features for yourself below:

• Roto Catch
  Found in the new Roto Loto Pokedex, this increases the chances of catching a Pokemon.

TOTEM POKEMON STICKERS

Another completely new thing for you to hunt down in this game are the Totem Stickers- there are 100 of these to find and collect, and if you do so, you can get the six Totem Pokemon in the game (which is, of course, great news, since they’re buffed up versions of normal Pokemon).

How to find 100 Totem Stickers? Why, we’re here to help: check out the video for yourself below!

EV TRAINING

Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon have, much like Pokemon Sun/Moon, removed Super Training and Horde Battles, which were both the preferred methods to EV Train in Pokemon X/Y and OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire. Instead, this time around, players must use new methods to EV train. Mostly, this is reliant on you utilizing the SOS Battles (which is when a wild Pokemon calls for help during battle), to gain EVs- done right, you could end up maximizing your Pokemon’s EVs for a certain stat in as little as seven battles in an SOS chain. Plus, the good news is, unlike last year’s SOS mechanic, which could be interminably annoying, this new one isn’t actually half bad and far more manageable.

That comes later, first, let’s walk you through the basics and specifics of what EV training is, and why you should care about it at all.

EV Training

But first- what is EV training? EV training is what determines the stat growth of your Pokemon. Every Pokemon that you encounter in the wild gives you Effort Value (or EV) points towards one of your six stats- HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. Receiving four points towards anyone of these stats leads to an additional +1 in that stat. Any Pokemon can receive a total of 510 points, and any one stat can receive a total of 252 EV points.

This is the mechanic that you use to allocate points to your Pokemon for certain stats- since Pokemon doesn’t let you govern what stats will grow for your Pokemon when they level up, you need to leverage EVs to create Pokemon with dedicated roles on your team- you can have a Wall that specializes in high HP and defense, a sweeper with high Attack, a Tank with high HP and Attack, you can have a Pokemon with high Attack and Speed that always hits first, and so on.

One way to do this is to simply fight the Pokemon that yield the EVs you want repeatedly- you can find a list of what Pokemon yield what EV in Alola on Serebii. However, this method can take long, so we’re here to help you quicken things up.

SOS Battles

SOS Battles are what we brought up earlier- used right, you can maximize your Pokemon’s EVs for a certain stat in just seven battles within a chain. This is because Pokemon called upon in an SOS battle yield double EVs– so SOS battles can be a very fast way of EV training. Use Adrenaline Orbs to induce SOS battles. Below is a list of the ideal routes that you can go train your Pokemon in for specific EVs:

• HP: Maile City (Grimer)
• Attack: Route 1 (Yungoose during the day, Spinarak during the night)
• Defense: Route 12 (Geodude)
• Special Attack: Hau’oli Cemetary (Gastly, only at night)
• Special Defense: Route 2 (Drowzee)
• Speed: Seaward Cave (Zubat)

Use items to speed things up- you can give your Pokemon the Macho Brace, which doubles the EVs that it gets. You can also use supplements to give your Pokemon certain EVs:

• HP Up: Adds 10 HP EVs
• Protien: Adds 10 Attack EVs
• Iron: Adds 10 Defense EVs
• Calcium: Adds 10 Special Attack EVs
• Zinc: Adds 10 Special Defense EVs
• Carbos: Adds 10 Speed EVs

In addition to the following items that you can use to gain specific EVs in each battle on top of the ones you would already get from that battle. All of these can be found in the Battle Tree for Battle Points:

• Power Anklet: Reduces Speed but allows holder’s Speed stat to grow
• Power Band: Reduces Speed but allows holder’s Sp. Def to grow
• Power Belt: Reduces Speed but allows holder’s Defense to grow
• Power Bracer: Reduces Speed but allows holder’s Attack to grow
• Power Lens: Reduces Speed but allows holder’s Sp. Attack to grow
• Power Weight: Reduces Speed but allows holder’s HP to grow

Pokerus

Yes, you want your Pokemon to catch a disease. This is because the Pokerus is a unique virus that doubles the EVs you get from any battle. In theory, with the Pokerus, Macho Brace, and an SOS battle, you could end up maxing out any specific EV for a Pokemon in a single battle.

EV Gains Without Battling

Unfortunately, the excellent Super Training, which let you gain and allocate EV Points by participating in minigames, is gone in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon. What you do still have, though, are ways to control EV growth for your Pokemon, even if you are a more casual player who doesn’t want to invest in so many items and battles to set up the perfect SOS Chain.

• Develop the Isle Evelup in your Poke Pelago. This lets you pick six Pokemon stored in your PC that get EV trained. Without Poke Beans put out, maxing out EVs take 31 hours and 30 minutes- putting Poke Beans out halves that time.
• Use the Bouncy House in Poke Plaza to level up your Pokemon’s EVs. You can develop six courses within it, one dedicated to each stat. You need to level up the Festival Plaza to add more courses to the Bouncy House and make it more effective, and you can only use it once a day.

You can keep track of your Pokemon’s EV growth by checking the graph on the top screen when you open up the Pokemon’s Status Screen.

HYPER TRAINING

You can ‘improve’ your Pokemon’s IVs using Hyper Training. Hyper Training is found in the Mall in Hau’oli City, which will let you improve either one specific IV for any of your Pokemon, or all of them, by asking for Bottle Caps as payment.

• The thing to remember here is that your Pokemon’s IVs aren’t actually improved, but the game hacks itself to pretend that they are
• Your Pokemon must be Level 100 for them to participate in Hyper Training

NEW WILD POKEMON

Yes, there are new wild Pokemon you can catch in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, returning ones from older generations you couldn’t get in Sun/Moon. Find the full list below:

• Buneary: Route 1.
• Zorua: Trainers’ School.

MIMIKYU AND DUSK LYCANROC

Okay, so first let’s get the Dusk Lycanroc out of the way. The way to get it is simple- you need a Tempo Rockruff from the Mystery Gift option on the main menu, then level it to 25 between  5:00 PM – 5:59 PM if you are playing Pokémon Ultra Sun and 5:00 AM – 5:59 AM on Pokémon Ultra Moon. If you level up during the wrong time slot, just press B to cancel evolution, and level it up further in the right time slot.

Now, Mimikyu. Mimikyu is… adorable. It might be one of the greatest Pokemon ever created. It’s this adorable disguised ghost Pokemon that dresses up as Pikachu so people will love it. Not only does it have a tragic story, it is also one of the most competitive devastating Pokemon, thanks to an amazing stat distribution, a great typing (Ghost/Fairy), and an ability that lets it absorb all of one attack without taking any damage.

So how do you catch it? Mimikyu is relatively easy to find for a Pokemon this great- albeit you need to be prepared:

• You can only catch it after the sixth island trial
• You should have loads of Dusk Balls ready
• Teach one of your Pokemon False Swipe
• Go to the Thrifty Megamart in the evening (night time+interior of a dungeon means you get 4X catch rate bonuses on a Dusk Ball)
• Now for the hard part- Mimikyu has a ridiculously low spawn rate. 5%- so 1 in 20 battles on average. You’ll be fighting a lot of riff-raff on the way to get to Mimikyu, but once one appears, False Swipe it till its HP is 1 and use your Dusk Balls to catch it.

Mimikyu is incredible- you won’t regret having it on your team.

EXP AND HEART SCALE FARMING TIPS

Okay, so, like, this goes without saying, but you want to maximize your EXP gain, since it is how your Pokemon level up. Fortunately, you can do so relatively easily with Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon:

• Activate the Roto EXP Points Power
• Get the Lucky Egg
• Try and find Blissey and fight them in SOS Chains

Heart Scales

Heart Scales are used as currency for Move Tutors, so you can never have too many of them. Getting them is.. not easy.

• Fish Luvdisc. Hano Beach, Vast Poni Canyon, Paniola Town, Brooklet Hill, the Akala Outskirts, and fishing spots in Route 7, 8, 9 are all locations you can find one.
  • Have Pokemon with the Abilities Compound Eyes and Frisk on hand, as well as a Pokemon that knows Thief
• You can get Heart Scales for ordering meals at restaurants:
  • Order P500 at Seafolk Village to get 1 Heart Scale
  • Order P1040 at Konikoni City to get 2 Heart Scales
  • Order P4000 at Malie City to get 4 Heart Scales

Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has released its latest weekly charts for the highly anticipated upcoming games, as voted by their readers, and the top 10 is dominated by role playing games, as it usually is. Monster Hunter World continues to stay on top of the pile after having displaced Final Fantasy VII Remake a couple weeks back, which holds its #2 spot as well.

Meanwhile, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, which had not yet launched while voting for these charts was taking place, is in the third position, followed closely by Kingdom Hearts III and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in the fourth and fifth places respectively. Meanwhile, Dynasty Warriors 9 occupies the sixth spot.

Some of the other notable upcoming releases listed in the top 10 are Persona Q2 at number 7, the Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Quest XI at ninth position, and Yakuza Kiwami 2 at tenth place.

Thanks, Nintendo Everything!

Nintendo’s Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, enhanced versions of last year’s releases that added more story content among other features, have done pretty well in Japan. The 3DS titles have sold 1,199,814 copies according to Famitsu from November 17th to November 19th. So yes, that’s almost 1.2 million units in just three days.

Download cards and double packs are factored into the sales but eShop purchases are not. This means the overall number could be higher. It’s to be expected from Pokemon though Pokemon Sun and Moon sold over 1.9 million copies in Japan within its first three days. It went on to ship 10 million copies worldwide on its first day of release so we’ll have to see if Pokemon UltraSun/UltraMoon can measure up.

As for the Nintendo 3DS, sales rose from 18,687 units to 40,582 units last week, most likely thanks to the release of new Pokemon titles. Game Freak is also working on a Pokemon game for the Nintendo Switch which is expected to arrive in 2018.

Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has released its latest weekly charts for the most highly anticipated upcoming games, as decided by their readers’ votes, and the results are quite similar to last week’s table. Monster Hunter World remains at the top spot, after it displaced Final Fantasy VII Remake, which itself also retains its position at second place.

Meanwhile, with Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the excitement surrounding the games continues to mount- the 3DS RPG is placed at number three. It’s followed closely by Kingdom Hearts 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 at four and five respectively. Some other notable upcoming releases in the list are Dynasty Warriors 9, Persona Q, and Yakuza Kiwami 2 at the sixth, eighth, and tenth positions respectively.

Meanwhile, fellow upcoming Square Enix RPG Kingdom Hearts III follows close behind in third place, with the 3DS’ Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon taking the fifth spot. Xenoblade Chronicles 2, which releases on the Nintendo Switch in December, meanwhile, is in sixth place.

As we learn more and more about Capcom’s upcoming Monster Hunter World, the excitement surrounding the game rises- especially for people who’ve been fans of the series for some time. Which is why it’s not all that surprising that in Famitsu’s latest weekly charts for the most highly anticipated upcoming games (as voted by their readers), Final Fantasy VII Remake has lost that top spot it has held on to for so long, moving down to second place, replaced at the very top by Monster Hunter World. 

Meanwhile, the rest of the list looks a lot like it has done in the last few weeks. Super Mario Odyssey is just behind Final Fantasy VII Remake at number 3 (voting for this was held before the game came out), with Pokemon UltraSun/UltraMoon and Kingdom Hearts III following close behind at 4 and 5 respectively. Meanwhile Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is placed sixth in the list.

There are a few new entries in the top 10 as well, with the most notable one being the recently announced Persona Q2, which takes the 8th spot. You can check out the full top 10 below. All votes were cast between October 12 and October 18.
