A new trailer for "Pokémon Sun and Moon" is out, revealing more details on the upcoming 3DS title.
The new trailer showcases the Alola form of Raticate, and it is described as having a palate for "high-class ingredients." Since the Pokémon feasts on high-calorie diet, the Alolan Raticate is shown to be much heavier and has a more pronounced body than its previous-gen counterpart. In addition, the Alolan Raticate is also typed as a Dark/Normal Pokémon.
It is revealed that the Alolan Raticate serves as a Totem Pokémon for the Meleleme Island challenge, situated in the Verdant Cavern in "Pokémon Moon."
The new Raticate is the recent confirmed Alolan form for different Pokémon, with other Alolan forms scattered over other Pokémon types like Raichu, Marowak, and Meowth. Just recently, the base type for Raticate, Rattata also received its Alolan form. In its description, the new form is said to be "nocturnal and live in nests of several dozen." In addition, "Alolan Rattata have an excellent aptitude for sniffing out delicious fresh foods in Alola. They pay no attention to foods that aren't fresh. Alolan Raticate serve as their boss."
Meanwhile, aside from the new Alolan forms, it is also revealed that early purchases of "Pokémon Sun and Moon" until January 11, 2017 will net players with a special edition Munchlax. The Pokémon will come with a special in-game item called Snorlium. Evolving Munchlax with the Snorlium will net a special Snorlax that is able to learn a unique Z-move called Pulverizing Pancake. The special evolved Snorlax can also learn Hold Back, a skill that instantly drops its enemy Pokémon 's health down to 1. There is also the normal Happy Hour skill, getting Snorlax twice the money rewards when it wins in a trainer battle.
"Pokémon Sun and Moon" releases for the Nintendo 3DS on Nov. 18.
