Trivia

• This is the last main series Pokémon installment to be released on the Nintendo 3DS.
• This was the first mainline Pokemon game to have every Legendary Pokemon to date obtainable without having to trade from previous games.
• Every new Pokémon introduced in these games is weak to the Ground-type.
• Lycanroc has a Dusk Form, only obtainable by evolving an event-exclusive Rockruff. This first appeared in the anime as what form Ash's Rockruff evolved into.
• The blurb for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon uses the phrase "LET'S GO!", possibly being a prelude to the upcoming Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! games which released nearly an entire year later.
