A fatal four-way, one fall to a finish.

During the Treehouse Live segment today, Pokémon Sun and Moon received two new Pokémon and a new multiplayer battle mode.

The new Pokémon are Yungoos, a Normal type "Loitering Pokémon" with the abilities Strong Jaw and Stakeout (no description given) and Pikipek, a Normal/Flying type with the abilities Keen Eye and Skill Link. Pikipek is based on a woodpecker and was shown in the February Pokémon Direct video.

A later trailer from the Pokemon Company confirmed a third new Pokémon: Grubbin, a Bug Pokémon. Magearna's new ability (Soul-Heart: raises Special Attack when a teammate faints) and move (Fleur Cannon) were also confirmed.

A new multiplayer mode was shown called Battle Royal. In this four-player mode, the first person to run out of Pokémon will be the loser and the winner will be the one who inflicts the final blow.

The UI looks real nice.
