Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon are the next two 3DS titles in the Pokemon franchise and build upon the features of the previous two games of similar names. Revealed this week, however, are more details on the powerful Necrozma.

The legendary Pokemon Necrozma takes the form of Dust Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma by capturing Legendary Pokemon Solgaleo or Lunala. Though it's not been fully revealed just yet, a recent trailer teases some of its abilities.

In other news, players will be able to teach moves to their Pokemon in exchange for Battle Points (BP). These moves you can't learn by levelling up or through Technical Machines. No, you can only earn BP by winning battles in the Alola region's battle facilities or by using Mantine Surf from different beaches. These moves can be taught to your Pokemon and even to the Legendary Pokemon caught passing through the Ultra Wormhole. I say.

Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon launches on 3DS this Friday, and don't forget there's also the 2018 Season Pokemon Europe International Championship taking place across this coming weekend. You can keep tabs on that by watching it here.
