The latest Pokémon Sun and Moon trailer was released today to coincide with the opening of the 2016 World Pokémon Championships, and revealed a brand new Pokémon and three localizations.
Crabrawler is a never-before seen Pokémon and as the name suggests, it is a Fighting-typed crab. Its abilities are Hyper Cutter or Iron Fist.
Sandygast and its evolved form Palossand are the Ghost/Ground sand Pokémon revealed in this month's CoroCoro. The two Pokémon share the ability Water Compaction that sharply raises their Defense when hit by a Water-type attack.
Stufful is the prior evolution of Bewear, and shares the larger bear's Normal/Fighting types and Fluffy/Klutz abilities. It also has a tag on its back for some reason.

I love the stuffed animal bear design! So cute! A lot of the designs are going a bit off the rails, but I like them overall.

I don't know, I think there is something cleverly creepy about it. The juxtaposition of an object associated with children with a ghost typing and an anthropomorphic screaming/wailing mouth is pretty cool to me. Especially when you add in the animation they use for ghost type attacks.
Edit- I like it even better after reading its description: http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/sandygast/ (http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/sandygast/)
