Every set of Pokémon games have various differences, like which Pokémon appear in which game a.k.a. Version Exclusives. And a flyer from Japan may have given away the version exclusives for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
According to Serebii, this flyer supposedly revealed Pokémon that will appear exclusively to Ultra Sun and some that will appear exclusively in Ultra Moon.
Check out the image below.
Trainers who have already played Pokémon Sun and Moon may recognize that these are pretty much the same exclusives as the first Gen 7 games. New Pokémon from the Alola Region like Drampa and Turtonator stay in Moon and Sun, while the sets of fossils from Gen 4 and 5 will also be separated between the versions.
Ultra Beasts exclusive to Sun (Buzzwole and Kartana) remain in Ultra Sun and the UBs exclusive to Moon (Celesteela and Phermosa) stay in Ultra Moon.
The only difference comes from the new Ultra Beasts. UB Burst is exclusive to Ultra Sun while UB Assembly is exclusive to Ultra Moon.
This list would suggest UB Adhesive, another new Ultra Beast, will be available in both Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Adhesive’s reveal trailer showed the new evil team using it, so it makes sense this new Ultra Beast will appear in the story of both games.
Here’s a list of which Pokémon are exclusive to each game. It should be noted there may be more version exclusives announced as we get closer to the release date so we’ll update as soon as we learn more.
