Orangur, a new Pokemon Moon exclusive Pokemon, has a move called Instruct. Instruct causes its target to repeat its most recent move right away. They also showed Lycanroc, the midday and midnight forms for Rockruff. New Legendary Pokemon for this game include Solgaleo and Lunala

Anime News Network also reports that players will be allowed to customize trainer features, and that the Refresh mode was brought back. Refresh mode allows players to care for their Pokemon through brushing, petting, feeding and cleaning.

New Z-moves were also announced, according to Nintendo Insider. Pikachu will have an exclusive Z-move called Catastropika, where it wraps itself in high voltages and uses its trainer's strength to charge into opponents. Evee's new Z-move, Extreme Evoboost, allows it to gather strength from all eight of its evolved forms.
