Three brand-new Pokemon have been revealed for Pokemon Sun and Moon during today’s Nintendo Treehouse presentation at E3. Read on below for the official bios, descriptions and artwork of each Pokemon.

The first of the new Pokemon revealed is the Normal/Flying-type Woodpecker Pokemon Pikipek, which can bore holes in trees by striking them up to 16 times per second. These strikes can do more than drill through hard wood—they can even shatter stone. Pikipek can attack distant opponents by firing seeds with enough force to embed them into the trunks of trees. This Pokemon also likes small glittering objects and will hide these amongst their food stores.

The second new Pokemon announced was the Loitering Pokemon Yungoos. This Normal-type Pokemon is known for its humongous hunger and has a terrible temper when hungry. The majority of its long body is made up of its stomach, and it is never satisfied due to its swift digestion. Trainers will encounter some Yungoos that possess an Ability no other previously discovered Pokemon has had—Stakeout. This Ability means that the Pokemon’s moves can deal twice the normal damage to any Pokemon that switches in or enters the field mid-battle.

The final Pokemon revealed was the Larva Pokemon Grubbin. This Bug-type Pokemon relies on its strong and sturdy jaws, using them as both a weapon in battle and a tool to help them burrow into the ground. Grubbin can spew sticky threads from its mouth and can wrap these threads around trees, enabling this Pokemon to swing around and become much more mobile.
