New details about "Pokémon Sun and Moon" games had been released by The Pokémon Company through a new trailer this week.

Based on the trailer, the Alolan starters of "Pokémon Sun" and "Pokémon Moon" showcased their second evolution form. One of them is Rowlet, which evolved to become the Blade Quill Pokémon Dartrix. This Pokémon executes its attacks by tossing its knife-like feathers. It can also recognize its opponent from behind and can attack even without seeing them. Dartrix is also known for being very particular with its appearance since it always grooms its feathers whenever it has a free time.

Then, there is Fire Cat Pokémon Torracat, which evolved from Litten. This type of Pokémon can emit flames to attack their opponents using the bell-shaped sac that can be seen on the lower part of its throat. Torracat enjoys going to battles and is willing to attack any given time.

The Pop Star Pokémon Brionne, on the other hand, evolves from Pokémon Popplio. This cheery Pokémon can dance perfectly in time with the other Pokémon by following the steps of the other members of its colony. It can also imitate the dance steps of a human. While dancing, Brionne can create balloons which it can slap against its opponents during battles.

The trailer also showed the appearance of "Pokémon X and Y" character Greninja. The ninja-type Pokémon is known for getting its strength whenever it bonds with Ash, and it can get a new power from a "miraculous occurrence" referred to as the bond phenomenon.

According to the games' official website, "Ash-Greninja's leg strength has been enhanced compared to an ordinary Greninja, making it difficult to see because of the speed at which it can move." This will help the Pokémon beat its opponent in an instant.

Both "Pokémon Sun" and "Pokémon Moon" will be released in North America on Nov. 18.
