New Pokemon Sun and Moon Trailer Showcases Team Skull and New Pokemon

The Pokemon Company has released a new trailer for Pokemon Sun and Moon, showcasing the villainous Team Skull and several new Pokemon which were leaked yesterday. In addition to officially revealing Wishiwashi (known as the Demon of the Sea in the Alola Region), Pyukumuku, and Morelull, the new trailer also officially the Alolan versions of Marowak, Meowth, and Raichu. Probably the biggest reveal related to the new Pokemon was that the Alolan Raichu's speed doubles on Electric Terrain, which should make that Pokemon a popular choice in competitive play. You can check out official images in the photo gallery below.

Team Skull, the new team of villains that threatens the Alola Region, was also shown in the game. In contrast to the clean cut Team Flare from Pokemon X & Y, Team Skull looks more like a gang than an organized team of supervillains. Per Pokemon Sun and Moon's website, Team Skull likes stealing Pokemon and messing up the trial sites scattered throughout the island. Team Skull is led by "Big Sister" Plumeria and Guzma, who apparently has a history with Professor Kukui and has a grudge against the Alola Trial Captains.

Interestingly, the two sandcastle Pokemon and Bewear's pre-evolved form were not revealed in the new trailer, nor were their English names given.
