These are the various other new Pokemon you will meet on your journey in Sun and Moon. Some will be common; some will be rare and require patience to catch.

Turtonator earned the title of "Blast Turtle Pokemon" for good reason. Its shell has a layer of explosive material, which it can strike with its tail to cause an explosion. Other Pokemon hitting its spikes can cause the same thing, so attack this Pokemon at your own risk!

Turtonator is the only Pokemon that can learn the move Shell Trap. At the beginning of the turn, Turtonator can set a trap. If its hit with a physical attack, Shell Trap then triggers an explosion that deals exponential damage to the opponent!

The "Sea Cucumber Pokemon" are disliked by tourists and considered to be pitiful by natives. Once a Pyukumuku finds a spot it likes, it will not move, even if it runs out of food. The people of Alola will chuck a hungry-looking Pyukumuku back in the sea so it may find food on its way back to its chosen spot.

As a defense mechanism, it will hurl its fist-like innards at enemies (or at people who accidentally step on it.)

Its new ability Innards Out allows it to make a final blow with its insides if its knocked out. This damage is equivalent to the amount of HP depleted to cause it to faint. In other words, if you one-hit-KO a Pyukumuku, be prepared for a devastating retaliation!
