Despite Nintendo’s efforts, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon review copies were leaked ahead of the official release. The next installment in the core Pokémon game series was leaked on 4Chan, bringing a huge wave of in-game leaks, spoilers and data mines.
If you are a core series player and don’t want any spoilers, we highly advise you stop reading at this point.
If you’re a Pokémon GO player and wondering why are we reporting on USUM, remember that we keep tabs on everything that’s going on in the franchise in order to understand how these things influence Pokémon GO and Niantic’s decision making.
With that being said, let’s see what has been leaked.
New Ultra Beast name, sprites and stats. Also, a new mythical Pokémon
Although we’ve already seen almost all of the UBs that are being added in USUM, we were still caught off guard with Poiple’s evolution into Naganadel. All of the UB stats have been also leaked, but not only that, a new Mythical was confirmed – Zeraora! All of this info is property of SciresM, the Pokémon Project or /r/pokemon leaks.

And of course, as all other 3DS titles, USUM already works on the Citra emulator – unstable, buggy and slow, but it works. We won’t be posting any ROM or emulator links here nor we allow sharing those in the comments section.
