Pokémon Sun and Moon: Difference between revisions

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Guzma ''may'' have had these, depending on how you interpret the context clues found in his childhood home. Lillie and Gladion, however, ''definitely'' have one in the form of {{spoiler|Lusamine}}.

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Lana and Acerola, cute little girls who completed their Island Trials and became Trial Captains afterwards. Acerola takes this even further by {{spoiler|becoming a member of Alola's Elite Four!}}

* [[Balloon Belly]]: While not a ''proper'' example, Mimikyu's special Z Move (Let's Snuggle Forever) creates this sort of effect by having it trap its enemy under its disguise, and having said disguise's "belly" balloon up to comically huge proportions while the poor schmuck trapped inside gets the crap beaten out of it.

* [[Big Eater]]: Hau, who's often talking about how hungry he is when he isn't shoving malasadas down his throat. Mina is also noted to be a huge glutton by her parents, while the Ultra Beast Guzzlord is noted to eat ''literally'' everything in its path, including mountains and buildings.

* [[Disc One Nuke]]:

** Brick Break, a powerful Fighting move with a base power of 75, can be obtained ''way'' earlier than in other games. As in, ''during the very first Trial''. Several Fighting types are available at this point, and all of them can learn it and destroy every single Normal type fought during the Trial, Totem Pokémon included, in one shot. Even if you're not looking to use any Fighting types, many physical fighters can still get a lot of mileage out of it.

** And speaking of early-game Fighting types, Hawlucha becomes available ''very'' early on in the ''Ultra'' games, and is a freaking ''monster''. It's a powerful, speedy [[Glass Cannon]] with stats that will keep it relevant through the entirety of the game, endgame and postgame included, and will help you breeze your way through the first Trial and Hala's boss fight. It's also a godsend against [[That One Boss|Totem Lurantis]] since it resists each and every one of her attacks, and can potentially KO her in one hit before things get ''really'' nasty thanks to the Flying Z-Crystal (and thus, Supersonic Skystrike) being available a lot earlier than in vanilla ''Sun and Moon''.

** The demo for the original ''Sun and Moon'' has Ash Greninja, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|the Greninja Ash used during the Kalos seasons of the anime]], which is unique among his froggy brethren in the sense that he has what may as well be a Mega Evolution in all but name. Beating the demo will let you transfer him over to the full games, and he joins your party at a whopping level 37 and can do so ''very'' early on. While he won't listen to you for a while, the gigantic difference in levels between him and the early-game Pokémon you'll be fighting ensures that he can survive whatever they throw at him before finally deciding to cooperate and attack, and he's got quite the impressive moveset: the powerful Night Slash and souped up (in his Ash Greninja form) Water Shuriken for STAB, Aerial Ace to hit several of his weaknesses for super-effective damage (Grass, Bug, and Fighting), and Double Team to make him untouchable.

** Mimikyu is strongly suggested to be one. Taking so much as one peek at its true form under its cloth disguise will frighten you to death, and ''whatever'' it is, it's definitely some kind of shadow monster with grasping, clawed hands.

* [[Hot Mom]]: Lusamine, {{spoiler|the mother of Lillie and Gladion}}. She's over ''40'', but looks like she could be her kids' older sister. ''Your'' mom is also very pretty, but that's to be expected given the track record established by the moms of past generations.

* [[King Mook]]: Totem Pokémon are bigger and stronger than normal members of their species, and will sometimes command their pre-evolutions in battle.
