Some lucky players got to show off part of the Sun and Moon games on an official stream. A Battle Royal match was also had.

Today on the Japanese website NicoNico, footage from the full Sun and Moon games were shown off. Hosts played through a segment of the game, and then had a Battle Royal match. EDIT: The stream has now finished.

The stream was hosted here and was watchable if you had an account on NicoNico. We’ve summed up the events and bits of information found out (click away if you don’t want minor spoilers on e.g. available Pokémon and events)! Gameplay started at a early-game Route – maybe the second or third one at a guess.

You can watch select footage from the stream in our other article below!

What we learn

Saving the Delibird seems to grant you access to a farm – could you plant Berries there?

The hosts were very amused by the sound Delibird made, as well as avoiding moving Trainers and battling them.

Another Trainer has a Level 10 Cottenee.

Another Trainer has a Level 9 Misdreavus .

. Continuing north-east, you encounter Hau (your rival). He takes you to a Pokémon Centre and gives you some Items.

You can buy three kinds of drinks at the Pokémon Center Café early on in the game. They are called Enecocoa (Eneko (Skitty) cocoa), Pairu Juice (Pinap Juice), and Roseratea (Roserade Tea). The hosts have now taken a break – maybe the Battle Royal is next? Trailers are being reshown.

Ilima’s Trial

We’ve resumed the playthrough. Heading east seems to lead to the first Trial. This features Trial Captain Ilima.

We see that a yellow Item Ball is at the end of the Trial, out of reach beyond a ledge.

A wild Alolan Rattata (Level 11) appears during the Trial.

What appears to be the Moss Rock is here.

The Trial involves chasing something hiding across small holes in the Trial area.

Team Skull show up again during the Trial! They battle you. One has a Level 11 Drowzee. They may be called Grunt A and Grunt B. They run off after the first battle to try to catch the hiding Pokémon.

You then fight an Alolan Raticate . It may have been the hiding Pokémon.

. It may have been the hiding Pokémon. Afterwards you fight another – as the Totem Pokémon. It summons other Alolan Rattata during the battle.

Upon victory, the first Trial Captain congratulates you. You also gain a Z-Crystal for performing Z-Moves with – potentially tied to defeating Totem Pokémon!

It appears there are 7 Trials in total. Does that mean 7 Trial Captains in total? And is there more after that?

Litten learns Fire Fang at Level 15.

The live stream next moves to the Battle Royal.

Here it is a four-player, 3-on-3 match at level 30.

Pulzerising Pancake, the special Z-Move for Snorlax, was attempted, but it failed. It may have targeted an opponent that fainted earlier that turn…

Pikachu tries a Z-Move. Snorlax then knocks it out in one hit after withstanding an attack from the Alolan Exeggutor.

Player 4 ends up winning. They had the best record of Pokémon remaining and opponents KO’d.
