The Pokemon company reveals The Island Passage, a Rite of Passage for all trainers who go through the Alola region.

The Pokédex list has grown bigger with the introduction of more Pokémon on Monday, Aug. 1. New monsters that have been added to "Pokémon Sun and Moon" include Mudbray, Minior, Gumshoos, Fomantis, and Lurantis. New and lengthy videos for the upcoming games were released, highlighting several features and human characters in the Nintendo 3DS games.   

Mudbray is a ground-type Pokémon that moves to the beat of its Own Tempo ability. The little monster is so powerful that it can bear loads 50 times bigger than its weight.

Mudbray transforms into Mudsdale, a Pokémon introduced earlier that allows gamers to move around the Alola Region. Mudbray loves mud to the extent that keeping it away from it for too long will turn the Pokémon into a total brat.

Minior is a rock/flying-type also called the "Meteor Pokémon." While the monster is just one-foot tall, it absorbs debris from the surrounding stratosphere to become 88 pounds heavy.

Minior has a thick shell that allows the Shields Down ability, giving it great defensive skill. However, the out shell can break to reveal a lighter and quicker Pokémon, something that happens when Minior's HP drops below 50 percent.

On the other hand, Gumshoos evolves from Yungoos, one of the Pokémon introduced during E3 2016, according to Polygon. The small mongoose super sleuth is always alert for enemies, demonstrating the wiser and tactical nature over its more offensive pre-change. It is important to note that Gumshoos is an old geezer, falling asleep when night comes and its strength reduces.

Fomantis is the baby-sized "Sickle Grass Pokémon." As opposed to Gumshoos, this monster prefers the darkness since it utilizes daytime to photosynthesize energy. The strength and unique coloring of Fomantis' evolution is attributed to photosynthesis, although in its current state, the Pokémon can use stored energy to destroy enemies with Soloar Beam.

The last Pokémon is Lurantis, which evolves from Fomantis. Lurantis is an elegant grass-type that uses natural beauty to flirt with and kill its enemies. The monster is all about self-love and self-care, grooming itself regularly.

Lurantis prefers working with trainers who are also interested in intense beauty regiments. The Totem Pokémon of Lush Jungle, Lurantis, slices up Pokémon with the powerful Solar Blade move, according to the same publication. This move takes two-turns to use: absorbing solar energy on the first and sending out a wave of energy on the second.

"Pokémon Sun and Moon" will release on Nov. 18 on Nintendo 3DS. Here is footage for more information on the latest update:
