Top Ten Alolan Form Hopes for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

We still don't know much about Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon but that doesn't keep us from wondering what new Pokémon we will get. This post will focus specifically on Alolan forms that I hope to see in the upcoming games. Once again I started with a base image and manipulated it in Pixlr.com's editor since my own artistic skills aren't so great. You can use my images as long as you give credit to me - KelleyG. Without further ado, let's take a look at my top ten Alolan form hopes for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

10. Alolan Mantine - Water
I know, this isn't a Kanto Pokémon. I decided to include this in my Alolan form list because I thought it would be fun to explore more Alolan forms for Johto Pokémon. Plus, most of the Kanto Pokémon have received either pre/post evolutions, Alolan forms already, or Mega Evolutions. My reason for choosing Mantine is that I think it would flourish wonderfully in the tropical waters of Alola. It would drop it's Flying typing and adopt some brighter coloring.


 

9. Alolan Hoothoot - Psychic/Flying
I had 2 different ideas for this Pokémon but ultimately chose the Psychic variation for this list. I like how I made it look like it's about to use a Psychic attack. I chose the Psychic typing because Hoothoot learns a lot of good Psychic type moves as it levels up. This type change would add more power to the moves.

8. Alolan Snubbull - Dark/Fairy
One of the first things I enjoyed seeing in the Sun and Moon demo was the figurine of the Granbull in the Police Station. I decided to base my design upon that figurine. Alolan Snubbulls are tougher and they acquired the Dark typing. They're fierce and loyal to the end so it's no wonder their evolution is the mascot of the Police in Alola.

7. Alolan Sunflora - Grass/Fire
First of all, I just realized that I cut off the top of Sunflora's topmost petal when I was working on it and fixed it. That's why the top petal tip looks a bit off. Anyway, I chose Sunflora because everyone appears to hate this Pokémon. How can you hate something so happy?? Anyway, Alola's environment would boost Sunflora's colors and its stats so it would be much stronger. It would also acquire the Fire typing plus an ability called Sun Shower. Think of it as a combination of Sunny Day and Water Absorb but for Fire instead of Water. Plus, it would weaken Ice and Fire type moves.

6. Alolan Furret - Ice
I think Furret is so cute and overlooked. Since Yungoos and Alolan Rattatas are so fierce, Furrets retreated to the icy peak of Mount Lanakila. They became ice types with white and blue coats for camouflage. I just love this one so much. It's adorable.

5. Alolan Wigglytuff - Dark/Fairy
This is another Dark/Fairy idea. This time Wigglytuff gets a type change and becomes dark colored because of it. It also becomes darker in mood too. I love the expression that I gave this one... it's sort of a moody Goth version of it's Kanto counterpart. I wanted to make the gray darker but the color replacement tool wasn't being very forgiving.

4. Alolan Staryu - Water/Ground
I had so many ideas for this Pokémon's Alolan form. I made 3 different images and had to decide among which to use. My ideas were based on Staryu's evolution in reaction to all of the predator Pokémon that live in Alola's waters. I decided to with the defensive evolution. It would lose it's jewel and adapt a color that would let it blend in with the sand on the ocean floor. It would become flatter and much more defensive in stats. It would also become slower.

 
3. Alolan Growlithe - Water
Remember all those Sun and Moon leaks that turned out false? Of all of those rumors, 2 in particular were the ones that I wanted the most. One of them was the Water type Alolan Growlithe. I was so excited for this and so disappointed when it didn't happen. Maybe it will happen in Ultra Sun and Moon. Come on, let's have a blue Growlithe!!

2. Alolan Butterfree - Bug/Psychic
This is the Alolan form that I wanted the most and I still can't believe it didn't happen. I decided to go the Bug/Psychic route this time since Butterfree can learn Psychic by TM and Confusion by level up. Butterfree seems to be one of the snubbed Kanto Pokémon that hasn't gotten a single new pre/post evolution, Alolan Form, or Mega Evolution. Maybe this time Butterfree will finally get some attention. Oh and it's antennae aren't fuzzy - that's its Psychic powers glowing.

1. Alolan Arbok - Poison/Ground
Yes, it's back again. I still have not gotten over what I call the 't-shirt tease' of the Alolan Arbok. I feel like I am still the only person who noticed this Cobra Tank in the Heahea City Boutique for the female character in Moon. I hope that this was a hint for a future Alolan Form since Arbok isn't even in the Alola pokedex. I originally wanted it to be just Ground but I think Poison/Ground typing would be a better fit. It could utilize Rough Skin or Dry Skin as it's abilities. However, when I did some more research, in Pokémon Sun for the male character, there is another interesting tank that can be found in the same shop. It's called the Dark Tank and has a blue Houndoom head on it. Interesting...could there also be an Alolan Houndoom coming too?? Wishful thinking or sneaky hint - you be the judge.


 Well, that's it for this post. I hope you enjoyed this post and will Follow me so you don't miss out on future posts. Leave a comment below telling me what Alolan forms that you hope to see in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Have a great weekend and as always - keep on gaming!!
