Tapu Lele lives at the Ruins of Life on Akala Island Tapu Bulu is found at the Ruins of Abundance on Ula’ula Island Tapu Fini hides in the Ruins of Hope on Poni Island. Tapu Koko will automatically battle the player after defeating the Pokémon League, while the other three are found by venturing to the ruins on each island. There are four guardians of Alola, each one identified by the title of Tapu. He’ll also gift you the items needed to change his evolution, Silvally, into different types. Without any prompting, he’ll give you a Type: Null, the strange-looking normal-type that was a staple of Gladion’s party for the entire game. He’s also more giving than during the main campaign. Paying him a visit on the second floor of the Aether Foundation, the trainer finds Gladion to be unsurprisingly reflective. The coma his mother fell into might have done her some good upon waking up, but Gladion remains lonely his sister went off to become a trainer in Kanto, and his dad has been missing-in-action for a long time. His mother spent the entire game overcome by absurd power, to the point where she attacked the player and emotionally abused Gladion’s sister. The melodramatic teen hangs out in the Aether Foundation at the end of the game, which, well, it’s hard to blame him. Gladion is one of the best characters in a cast that includes several memorable trainers. What’s the difference between Pokémon Sun and Moon?ĭeciding which version to pick up is the first battle Grab the mysterious, one-of-a-kind Type: Null All that matters is there will now be a Cosmog asking to join the team. The bigger deal is that heading to the Lake of the Sunne (or Moone, if playing Moon) marked on the map will result in a brief, weird cutscene. That means it will now be daytime in Sun and nighttime in Moon, which is a cool if superficial change. For one, the other side is set roughly 12 hours ahead of the player’s original world. Stepping into the portal won’t actually change that much about the game, but it does alter things in two key ways. Returning to the Altar of the Sunne or Moone - again, named in accordance with the game played - will allow players to visit “another world.” ( Sun and Moon are all about the alternate dimensions, in case you missed it during the main story.) This only works when visiting at night in Sun or during the day in Moon, which can be easily circumvented by playing with the Nintendo 3DS console’s clock. There’s a way to have an actual itty-bitty Cosmog on a player’s team, however, and it’s really, really simple. Remember Cosmog, Lillie’s best Pokémon pal? Technically the trainer already has it in their party it evolved into Solgaleo or Lunala at a climactic moment, depending on the version of the game. The Pokémon is seriously hard to catch, by the way, resisting pretty much every kind of Poké Ball, so it may be time to use that Master Ball. It’ll appear as soon as the player walks into the closed-off area’s grass, so be ready for a battle imminently. Head back to Ten Carat Hill following the Ultra Beast missions to find the psychic-type Necrozma. Okay, maybe Necrozma is a little more special than the average Pokémon - it’s level 75, and there’s only one of its kind in the game. Turns out that’s no Ultra Beast, but a regular old Pokémon. Don’t forget to catch NecrozmaĪfter capturing the fifth and final Ultra Beast, Looker will freak out over a potential sixth monster. But Pokémon Sun and Moon, the pair that move the.
That's not to say there's anything wrong with the previous six sets of handheld RPGs. Prepare to spend a lot of time running back and forth through patches of tall grass in the hopes of an Ultra Beast popping up for you to catch.Īfter 20 years, it was time for Pokémon to shake things up. The quest is pretty linear, as Anabel and Looker will give clear directions. A pair of researching Pokémon detectives - Anabel and Looker, who many will remember from X and Y - will entrust Alola’s new Pokémon League champion to go catch the mysterious Ultra Beasts around the islands. After beating the Elite Four and heading home, the player is given a new task: Head to the previously empty motel on Route 8 for a new mission. It’s pretty hard to miss this mission, since it starts right after Sun and Moon’s storyline wraps. (And quick: Beware of endgame spoilers!) Go catch all the Ultra Beasts Here are some ideas we’ve gathered in our endeavor to keep the latest Pokémon games exciting, from the obvious to the less-so. We’ve been wondering what to do next in Sun and Moon ourselves, now that we’ve become the Pokémon League Champions. Sure, there are still hundreds of Pokémon to capture, but beyond the general goal to catch ‘em all, how a trainer should spend their time in Sun and Moon’s postgame isn’t always obvious. After finishing Pokémon Sun and Moon’s main campaign, the average player may not know where to go or what to do next.
