Over two years ago, Pokémon Trainers from all over the world could explore a new region, Alola. Later this year, we’ll be able to traverse yet another, Galar, thanks to Pokémon Sword & Shield on the Nintendo Switch. In the meantime, crafting a near unbeatable team in Sun & Moon/Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon sounds like a fantastic way to pass the time. Picking out perfect IVs and Hidden Abilities can be a long process, so The Pokémon Company is stepping in and giving out a duo of simians with their Hidden Abilities to all active Pokémon Bank subscribers.
Normally found in Pokémon Sun and Ultra Sun versions, Passimian’s Hidden Ability allows the lemur-like Pokémon a massive stat boost! “[I]f Passimian is hit with a stat-lowering effect, its Hidden Ability, Defiant, will cause Passimian’s Attack to increase by two levels!”
Considered Passimian’s counterpart, Oranguru is only catchable in Pokémon Moon and Ultra Moon. This sage Pokémon’s hidden ability celebrates teamwork. “Its Hidden Ability, Symbiosis, is useful but a little tricky—in Double Battles, if Oranguru’s teammate uses its held item, Oranguru will hand its own held item over to the teammate.”
Add Passimian and Oranguru with Pokémon Bank!
If you’re a registered Pokémon Bank user, you’re in luck! For a limited time, you can receive a Passimian and an Oranguru for your #PokemonUltraSunMoon or #PokemonSunMoon game!
Don’t miss out! https://t.co/CVzghh5Lws pic.twitter.com/KMDZOzQ08y
