With less than a month remaining until the launch of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon, The Official Pokemon Channel on YouTube shared a new trailer on Thursday officially unveiling the final evolutions of the starter Pokemon.

Of course, we already saw these evolutions in the data mine of the Pokemon Sun and Moon demo, but this is the first time we get to see them in action.

Meet Decidueye, Incineroar, and Primarina in the trailer below:

Along with introducing the final evolutions of the starters and their signature moves, the trailer also shows off the four guardians that watch over Alola’s four islands. Psychic-Fairy type Tapu Lele guards Akala Island, Grass-Fairy type Tapu Bulu guards Ula’ula Island, Water-Fairy type Tapu Fini guards Poni Island and Electric-Fairy type Tapu Koko guards Melemele Island, which is where the game begins.

The Tapu Pokemon all share a special Z-Move called Guardian of Alola, which looks like it can take out most Pokemon in a single blow.

After a few additional Pokemon reveals (including the hideous Alolan form of Persian), we finally get a glimpse of the Alolan Pokemon League, which appears to be something trainers will take on near the end of their journeys and includes battles with some of the franchise’s most iconic characters.

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon will be available for the Nintendo 3DS on November 18th, but if you don’t want to wait that long, you can download the demo right now from the eShop and collect a few items to transfer to the full game.
