Even More Pokémon Ultra Sun and Moon Info 

A new batch of information was released for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Moon on October 12^th. 

One of the main focal points of the information was to reveal the exclusive Z-Moves of Dusk Mane Solgaleo and Dusk Wing Lunala. Dusk Mane Solgaleo’s Z- move is called Searing Sunraze Smash and Dusk Wing Lunala’s Z-Move is Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom. Necrozma also has the ability to perform these moves. 

Also, the Rotom Dex has received some improvements since Sun/Moon. In this newly updated Rotom Dex, it has a new feature called Roto Loto. This feature allows you to gain items that can help you on your adventure. Also, if you bond closely with your Rotom Dex, you can have it perform its special Rotom Z Power. The Z Power will allow you to use a second Z-Move in battle, even though normally you can only use one Z-Move per battle.

WulverBlade Release

On October 12^th, WulverBlade was released for the Switch. To begin, I would like to state that the game is rated M. 

The game involves you helping to defend Britannia from the Romans. The game pays tribute to old classic games, with a small twist.  It is also has a historically inspired timeline, with a total of 8 campaign levels. 

The game includes a retro inspired combat experience with some modern enhancements. There are also combat arenas to challenge you even further in combat. You can also team up with a local player to battle alongside each other. 

The game retails for $19.99 on the eShop. 

Before we end this post, here is a nice picture of K.K. Slider with some interesting facts about him. 

Well that’s all for this week, so I hope to “see” you next week!
