Nintendo revealed another new Pokemon that will appear in Pokemon Sun and Moon today at E3. During a live gameplay demonstration, Yungoos, a small ferret-like Pokemon, appeared to challenge the player in wild grass. According to the Nintendo Treehouse, Yungoos is constantly hungry and always has a grimace on its face. Yungoos (known as the Loitering Pokemon) is a normal Pokemon and appears to be the Alola Region's Normal Type Pokemon.
Nintendo's presentation also revealed Pikipek, a woodpecker Pokemon. Pikipek is the Alola's region standard Flying-Type, and was briefly shown in wire form during the first Pokemon Sun and Moon teaser.
The gameplay video also showed off some new features in Pokemon Sun and Moon, including a revamped Pokedex screen (that hints at future evolutions) and new additions to the battle screen. Players will be able to see status and stats effects after moves impact them, and also can see what moves are effective or ineffective against an opponent's Pokemon.
Finally, Nintendo also revealed a new Multiplayer mode called "Battle Royal", which allows four players to battle each other in a free for all battle. The battle will end when one player loses all their Pokemon, and the winner is determined by a scoring system.
Pokemon Sun and Moon will be released on November 18 in the US and Japan and November 23 in Europe.
