A day after the Pokémon Sun and Moon leaks hit the Internet, The Pokémon Company has released the brand new trailer that was reserved for Aug. 12.

Everything that was in the leaks, including Alola Raichu, Alola Marowak (the new mushroom Pokémon) and the introduction of Team Skull are all in it, complete with some explanations of abilities and story elements.

But enough talk, take a look at the brand new Pokémon Sun and Moon trailer.

The first information was the official introduction of Wishiwashi, which was in this month’s CoroCoro.

It’s ability Schooling is activated after the Water-type Pokémon reaches a certain level. Once its ability kicks in, the School Form makes this Pokémon massive and presumably increases all of its stats.

Next up is Pyukumuku, the sea cucumber Water-type Pokémon that was also in this month’s CoroCoro . The most interesting aspect of Pyukumuku is its new ability, Innards Out. The ability acts like Aftermath, but what sets it apart is that it inflicts damage equal to the remaining HP of Pyukumuku had when it was KO’d.

The new mushroom Pokémon is Morelull, which is a Grass- and Fairy-type. It comes with the abilities Illuminate and Effect Spore.

As for the new Alola Forms, Meowth’s new Dark typing has been confirmed, with the abilities Pick Up and Technician carrying over from Kanto Meowth.
