Graded on the Gen 7 chart. Levitate is the only ability counted. Totems are graded with the allies they call, but not their aura boost. Ace levels come from the first battle. Pick a starter above to see which of Kukui’s three teams you face.

Gen 7 type rules

How types work differently in Sun & Moon

Two Alola favorites show the per-move split at work, and the ability cards list what blunts a type or switches it off.

Each move picks its own stat

Fire and Water are both split down the middle in Sun & Moon, some attacks physical and some special. The two cards below sit at opposite ends.

Alolan MarowakAlolan Marowak80 ATK · 50 SP. ATKAlolan Marowak’s 80 Attack is well above its 50 Sp. Atk, so Flare Blitz (level 53) and Shadow Bone, a physical Ghost move no other Pokémon can learn, do far more than anything special. Cubone lives in Wela Volcano Park and evolves at level 28, but only at night.PrimarinaPrimarina74 ATK · 126 SP. ATKPrimarina flips that: 126 Sp. Atk against 74 Attack. Its signature Sparkling Aria and Moonblast at level 44 are both special, while Aqua Jet is physical and much weaker.

Different on the Gen 2–5 chart

MATCHUPGEN 2–5SUN & MOONGhostSteel½×1×DarkSteel½×1×

Kukui’s Magnezone and Hapu’s Alolan Dugtrio are both part Steel, and Ghost or Dark moves now hit them for normal damage instead of half.
