A crop of amazing new pocket monsters coming to "Pokemon Sun and Moon" have been revealed in the latest trailer by The Pokemon Company.

Type Null was shown in the clip and was revealed to be able to evolve to Silvally. With the RKS System as its ability, the Pokemon can transform into different types depending on the items it is wielding.

Silvally, as revealed in the "Pokemon Sun and Moon" clip, has a multi-form attack. Much like how it can change into a different type of Pokemon, it also tailors its move to the type of opponent it is up against.

Fans will see him in action in the "Pokemon Sun and Moon" preview tackling a Fire and Water-type Pokemon with poise and ease.

The Pokemon Company also showed a bit of the evolution for Jangmo-o. It first turns into Hakamo-o with the ability to deflect sound and bullets.

Hakamo-o will eventually transform into Kommo-o, who packs quite a wallop as seen in the "Pokemon Sun and Moon" clip. The Pokemon's unique move is called Clanging Scales, which gamers can see at work in the video.

"Pokemon Sun and Moon" also includes cool evolutions for Bouncesweet. First, the adorable Pokemon can grow into Steenee, who is equipped with the leaf guard and oblivious ability.

Steenee eventually becomes Tsareena, who possesses an additional ability known as Queenly Majesty. This unique move sees her knock the open out with the most finesse fans will ever see in a Pokemon in battle. She also does the Trop Kick, which usually seals the victory.

The "Pokemon Sun and Moon" video also showed Cutiefly evolve into Ribombee, who has the Honey Gather ability as well as the Shield Dust ability.

Grimer and Muk also get their Alolan forms in "Pokemon Sun and Moon." Both use their Poison Touch ability and the self-explanatory Gluttony ability.

Finally, the clip also introduced a couple of new trainers—Olivia and Ilima. The former is known as the Kahuna of Akala Island who specializes in training Rock-type Pokemon.

The latter will be known in "Pokemon Sun and Moon" as the Trial Captain of Verdant Cavern on Melemele Island whose specialty is of Normal types.

"Pokemon Sun and Moon" will be released exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS on Nov. 18.
