So with the datamining last night, a number of Pokemon sprites were left unscrubbed out of the game and make for what is very likely the Alolan Pokedex. I decided to breeze through the dex and try to point out all the interesting
Please let me know if I made any mistakes or neglected something! I'm happy to correct them and edit other interesting Pokemon onto this list.
I made a number of assumptions here, but I think most of them can be grounded in previous generational transitions:
There will no doubt be tons of movepool additions in SuMo. Once we learn of those, I'll slap them on here too.
Regarding new Pokemon and Alolan formes:
What we can presume to be the Alolan Dex so far consists of:

What's there to talk about?
Please let me know if I made any mistakes or neglected something! I'm happy to correct them and edit other interesting Pokemon onto this list.
I made a number of assumptions here, but I think most of them can be grounded in previous generational transitions:
- The TM List will remain relatively the same
- Typical Move tutor exclusive attacks (Icy Wind, Helping Hand, Tailwind, Hyper Voice) will remain move tutor exclusive and unavailable for SuMo.
- Non-Alolan forms of Alolan Pokemon are allowed, even if they require Pokemon Bank transfer
- All Pokemon have access to their hidden abilities, which should be true once Pokemon Bank relaunches in January.
- UB's are probably usable as Pokemon, but neglected for now
There will no doubt be tons of movepool additions in SuMo. Once we learn of those, I'll slap them on here too.
Regarding new Pokemon and Alolan formes:
- I was a little iffy on purely alolan lines inheriting their non-alolan line's TMs and Egg moves and did not assume they obtained those moves.
- Families that go from Non-Alolan -> Alolan probably keep the same egg moves and pre evo tms, but I neglected to assume this for now just in case.

What's there to talk about?
- Everything hits a lot weaker than what we saw in 2014 and 2015 with the lack of Megas. What offensive powerhouses stand out? The most prominent I see at the moment are Pokemon like Garchomp and Talonflame.
- The pool of redirection is extremely small. Clefable seems to be the best around. Can any of the others contend?
- Fake Out users have some nice variety to them.
- Intimidate mons have decent variety. Salamence, Gyarados and Arcanine stick out the most with other interesting Pokemon like Granbull, Stoutland, and Krookodile also looking solid.
- What Pokemon seem to be the most powerful at a glance? Talonflame, Garchomp, Metagross, and Salamence all really seem to like the condensed field.
- Smeargle's back and that means Dark Void's back once Bank launches if the move isn't outright banned like in 2012 or 2013. Will it settle back down to 2014 and 2015 usage or will its popularity in 2016 carry over somewhat into the next year? Personally, I'm skeptical it'll hold on too much without gigantic cover legendaries that more than make up for Smeargle's non existent offensive presence.
