Now that "Pokemon Go" has become a huge hit worldwide, fans are highly anticipating the release of "Pokemon Sun and Moon"; and in a new trailer launched this week, we have seen another batch of new monsters, characters and a new feature which will definitely make players more hooked to the game.

The new batch of monsters launched this week included the synthetic Type: Null, the Alolan variant of Raticate, the little engine called Jangmo-o and the shape-shifting "ultra beast" UB-01.

As described by Polygon, the bizarre synthetic Pokemon, Type: Null, rather "creates more questions than answers for the longtime Pokemon player. This is the first time that Pokemon is using a punctuation in a monster's name. Furthermore, Type: Null is a 6-foot-3 normal-type Pokemon designed to weather any storm or situation. It can even defeat the most powerful mythological creatures. As it looks, Type: Null is a really scary Pokemon.

Jangmo-o, as it is described, is the Pokemon version of David (i.e. David and Goliath) because the monster is rather a miniature dragon-type Pokemon who trains all the time thus making itself stronger over time.

The Alolan version of Raticate is noticeable with its really chubby cheeks, making it look like a much healthier version of the Kanto Raticate.

Lastly, and the first Ultra Beast to be introduced, is UB-01. This ultra beast, which is made of glass, is capable of changing shapes and it does this very often. And while UB-01 may move like a delicate lady, fans should not be deceived, because it also comes with a great power.

Polygon, in its report, added that Alolan researchers are puzzled by UB-01 and has yet so much to study and discover about the Pokemon.

These researchers compose the Aether Foundation, a team who is trying to understand the nature of ultra beasts. They live in a secluded island called Aether Paradise, where refugee Pokemon are also housed.

A new pair, Dexio and Sina, has also been introduced. They are out helping Professor Kakui on his research and at the same time, collecting Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells leading them to the legendary Zygarde.

Aside from the new monsters and characters, The Verge revealed that "Pokemon Sun and Moon" will also have a new feature that will look like the app Snapchat. It will be called Poke-finder and will only be available in Alola region. The new feature will be able to snap a pic of the Pokemon and submit it for evaluation. More tools will be unveiled as the players level up.
