'Pokémon Sun and Moon' release date, news: Exclusive starter Pokémon Z-moves revealed

Days before "Pokémon Sun" and "Pokémon Moon" hit the stands, The Pokémon Company decided it needed to hype up the games some more by revealing some new details.

Here's a look at the teaser video.

As shown in the video, each of the three starter Pokémon will be getting their own exclusive Z-Move. To be precise, the final evolved forms of Rowlett, Litten and Popplio are the ones who will have their own Z-Moves.

By using its exclusive Z-Move, the Sinister Arrow Raid, Decidueye will dive down towards its target with a hail of arrow quills. The Grass/Flying-type Pokémon will crash into its target first before the arrow quills hit home and finish the job.

Incineroar's unique Z-move, Malicious Moonsault, is just as nasty as its name suggests. When the Fire/Dark-type Pokémon uses it, a wrestling ring will suddenly appear under its target. Incineroar will leap to the top turnbuckle and turn on its flame belt before it launches an aerial attack on its opponent. It's like something from the WWE. Incineroar even has one of those championship belts and spouts fire.

The graceful Primarina won't be doing something like that. Its exclusive Z-move, Oceanic Operetta, is as elegant as the Water/Fairy-type Pokémon. By using its voice, Primarina will create a huge ball of water and send it crashing towards its target. After the exhilarating performance, Primarina will bow to the audience.

Two Ultra Beasts were also introduced in the trailer, UB-03 Lighting and UB-05 Glutton. Other than that, the video gave players a look at the Alolan forms of Diglett and Dugtrio.

The Alolan Diglett has a few whiskers of hair on its head which makes it look like Archie Comics' Mr. Weatherbee. Players should not let that fool them because Diglett can use its Tangling Hair ability to slow down opponents. The Alolan Dugtrio actually has a full head of hair, and the Pokémon is revered as an incarnation of the god of the land.

"Pokémon Sun" and "Pokémon Moon" will hit the shelves on Nov. 18.
