To see it turn into a gigantic fighting feline monster is upsetting, especially when it’s described as unlikable and attention-seeking, but that’s the way the news goes sometimes. More selfishly, we think Litten is a perfect, beautiful baby cat.

we just would prefer something more unique.

Nothing against fighting-types, of course. Let’s get into why: We’re a little bit tired of the fire-type Pokémon starter adding a fighting typing when it hits its final form, which has happened so often now that the community has deemed it a trope. We were extremely disheartened when we first saw Incineroar, the buff evolved form of the adorable fire-type starter, Litten. This is a Pokémon that takes great pride in its precision, which is impressive, but we appreciate that there are chinks in the armor to make it more relatable. In the off-chance it’s caught off-guard, the avian Robin Hood beats itself up about it. The ghost in Decidueye helps keep it hidden from enemies, and it uses its fierce feathers to strike them down from behind the bushes.īut Decidueye, much like James Dean, can’t be stoic 100 percent of the time. The “arrow quill Pokémon” is a combo grass/ghost-type, which is an admittedly rad pairing. The final form of Rowlet, the fan-favorite grass-type starter, is this cool guy. The Pokémon Company is committed to trickling out further details about these monsters in the days until the games’ launch, and the latest trailer spotlights a handful of the Sun and Moon’s rarer finds.īelow, we’ll walk you through everything we now know about these new Pokémon, now that they’ve been formally introduced. We’ve already seen every new Pokémon that Pokémon Sun and Moon have to offer, as part of a major info dump spread by datamining demo players.
