During the Nintendo 3DS Direct, news about the upcoming Pokémon Sun and Moon games was revealed, including Alola Rattata and some details about the new Z-moves

On top of all that, Pokémon Sun and Moon buyers will get a special bonus for getting the game early.

A special Munchlax will be distributed over the Nintendo Network, holding a special Z-Crystal that gives its evolved form, Snorlax, a special move called Pulverizing Pancake.

However, this Munchlax distribution is not a bonus for pre-ordering Pokémon Sun and Moon. You can get Munchlax whether you pre-ordered or not, as long as you have the game and access the Nintendo Network before Jan. 11, 2017.

Snorlium Z is a special Z-Crystal that only Snorlax can hold and gives it access to the aforementioned Pulverizing Pancake.

Z-Moves are a new feature in Sun and Moon and can only be used once per battle. They are considerably more powerful than normal attacks and come with some awesome battle animations.

Take a look at the Sun and Moon trailer from the Nintendo Direct below.

The special Pokémon Sun and Moon Munchlax will come with two moves it cannot normally learn. The first is Hold Back, which acts like False Swipe in that it leaves an opponent with 1 HP. This is perfect for capturing Pokémon.

Happy Hour is the second move, which doesn’t deal damage but doubles the amount of money gained after battle.

So will you be purchasing Pokémon Sun and Moon day one? Will Snorlax become part of your Sun and Moon team? Sound off in the comments section below.
