As the highly anticipated launch of "Pokemon Sun and Moon" approaches, four new creatures have been revealed for the upcoming "Pokemon" titles.

First on the list is Crabrawler, a Fighting type Pokemon that takes the form of a crab but is colored blue and purple. Its ability includes Hyper Cutter and Iron Fist, which he uses not only on enemies but for obtaining his favorite food – berries.

The second "Pokemon Sun and Moon" creature is the ghost and ground-type Pokemon Sandygast, which has the ability of Water Compaction. Its evolved version is Palossand.

The base form sees white sand with a huge trowel on where its head is and has a tornado-summoning hole for a mouth. Its defense stat increases by 2 when attacked by a water move.

The evolved version of the newly unveiled "Pokemon Sun and Moon" looks like a full-on sandcastle complete with the trowel, albeit smaller. Its mouth doubles as a sandy vortex that literally sucks the living daylights out of its opponents.

The final "Pokemon Sun and Moon" addition for this list is Stufful, who, like its name suggests, was inspired by a teddy bear. It has four brown legs, white and pink striped head and large ears.

Stufful also has a small round tail and as what Digital Spy emphasizes, a tag that hangs just below its tail, as part of being a stuffed bear Pokemon.

He is a normal and fighting-type Pokemon with a Fluffy and Klutz ability, which can cut the damage it receives by half. Despite its friendly and adorable facade, Stufful is the opposite of how it looks.

Stufful evolves into Bewear, which was revealed last month. He is described a "strong arm" Pokemon and it definitely is a big fan of hugs.

"Pokemon Sun and Moon" will be released on the Nintendo 3DS on Nov. 18 in North America and Nov. 23 in the United Kingdom.
