The hype for the upcoming "Pokemon Sun and Moon" game is palpable as Nintendo has released a set of new Pokemon that will come with the new game. The two Pokemon are version exclusives, and players will only be able to see one of them on each version. With this, a new trailer has been made in order to properly introduce them.

iTechPost reports that Passimian and Oranguru are the two new version-exclusive Pokemon, with the former classified as a Fighting-type and it is primarily identified by its unique ability to throw berries to its opponents. Additionally, Passimian also possesses a special move dubbed as Receiver, allowing it to get the ability of an ally that has fainted. Its description says that the Pokemon is a tribal creature, living in 20 to 30-Pokemon communities that follow a leader, and each member of the tribe work by training each other. Passimian is the "Pokemon Sun" version exclusive.

On the other hand, Oranguru is a Normal / Psychic Pokemon that makes its home in the deepest parts of the Alolan forest. It is well-known for its compassionate nature towards other Pokemon living in the same environment as them, often giving food or medicine to those in need of it. It possesses the Telepathy and Inner Focus abilities. Oranguru also has an exclusive ability called Instruct, which allows a targeted Pokemon to use its previous skill repeatedly. According to Yibada, the Pokemon's Instruct ability can also bolster the attack of an ally Pokemon in duo battles. Its attacks use a fan-like object and it is exclusive to the "Pokemon Moon" version of the upcoming title.

"Pokemon Sun and Moon" will be released on November 18, 2016 for the Nintendo 3DS, and it is certainly hyped up with a lot of features such as several Alolan form Pokemon and Z-Moves.
