For as cool as this looks, "Mind Blown" is the most idiotic translation they could have come up with for UB Burst's new move. Why would the dubbing team think that was a good idea? Is it supposed to be a joke? Well, its head does explode. What would you call it? How about...literally anything else? I dunno, I suppose it isn't terrible, but it just feels like an...awkward name for an attack regardless. |

Summary of new info! - You get to visit the home-world of the Ultra Beasts, Ultra Space, which is an alternate dimension of the Pokémon world.
- There is a new Ultra Beast, UB Adhesive, and it is a Poison-type.
- There's a new team called Ultra Recon Squad, who dwell in an area of Ultra Space called Ultra Megalopolis.
- UB Burst is Fire/Ghost and has a new move called Mind Blown.
- UB Assembly is Rock/Steel.
- Ultra Recon Squad's team members are Dulse, Zossie, Soliera, and Phyco. Dulse and Zossie appear in Ultra Sun, while Soliera and Phyco appear in Ultra Moon.
From what we’ve learned, it seems like these are definitely going to be different than Sun and Moon. Still waiting for more Alolan variants, though. XD I'm just curious to know if the Ultra Recon Squad will be a villainous organization. |

Does anyone see the connection between the new UBs' names? Or is it a thing that everyone noticed and I'm just overanalyzing it? Something like assembling the bursted pieces together by adhesion or something like that xD

New info again, courtesy of Serebii!   - There are special Z-Moves for Solgaleo, Lunala, and both forms of Necrozma.
- Dusk Mane Necrozma and Solgaleo both use the Solgaleo Z, which turns Sunsteel Strike into the move Sunshine Smasher.
- Dawn Wings Necrozma and Lunala both use the Lunala Z, which turns Moongeist Beam into Moonlight Blaster.
- There is also a new move known only by Dusk Mane Necrozma, called Photon Geyser.
- Both forms of Necrozma have the Ability Prism Armor.
- There is also the Z Rotom Power, where if you have good compatibility with Rotom, it can power up Z-Moves by letting you use them more than once per battle.
- Rotom Dex also has various new features introduced in the game. Apparently, it becomes more like you the more you use it. Rotom will also help you to get items and powers using a feature called Rotopon, which accesses items in a feature listed as "Rotom Power". This feature does things such as boosting experience. You can also interact with the Rotom Pokédex more, answering questions from it and getting reactions.

Either Z-Moves can hit through Disguise and I just didn't notice or these ones also get the "ignore abilities" effect of the moves they power up. |

- The new Rotom Pokédex feature is called Roto Loto in English and provides various items with powers that boost things like Experience Points.
- Necrozma's Photon Geyser attacks compares its Attack and Special Attack, and uses the larger for damage.
A couple of things beyond this: - Searing Sunraze Smash modifies Sunsteel Strike, meaning it can also be used by Dusk Mane Necrozma. It keeps the base move's secondary effect of ignoring the target's ability.
- Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom modifies Moongeist Beam, meaning it can also be used by Dawn Wings Necrozma. Just like its counterpart, it keeps the attack's secondary effect of ignoring the target's ability.
- The known Roto Loto abilities are Roto Hatch, Roto Bargain, Roto Prize Money, Roto Exp. Points, Roto Friendship, Roto Encounter, Roto Stealth and Roto HP Restore. They appear to function very similarly to O-Powers from the Gen 6 games.
- The Rotom Pokédex also has an ability called Z-Rotom Power, which when used allows you to use another Z-Move in a battle, although this appears to be limited to one additional Z-Move.
Aaaand now I'm realizing you covered most of that in your post about the CoroCoro leak...whoops. |

I nearly forgot about this, but we just had a new piece of information. They just announced a Z-Crystal for Mimikyu today, but not much else to go on right now. |
