Pokémon Sun and Moon features the quest of Lillie trying to keep Nebby in that bag and regain her confidence after a fateful childhood. Well, there's also a little sidequest where you catch Pokémon and beat trainers and become the champion of Alola, but that isn't too notable.

Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon

To do: Add the Shiny Form of Eternal Flower Floette

For the sake of consistency, every Pokémon in every Pokémon game is given a Shiny variant. Most Shiny Pokémon have been obtainable through random chance encounters or event distributions, including most Legendary Pokémon. However, a few Pokémon cannot be obtained in this form without hacking, and as a consequence, normal players would never be able to see their Shiny coloration.

• Zygarde - Just as it was Shiny-locked in X and Y, Zygarde cannot be received as Shiny in Sun and Moon. The collective of Zygarde Cells and Cores is locked to never be Shiny when they are formed together.

• Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, Solgaleo, Lunala, Nihilego, Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Kartana, Celesteela, Guzzlord, and Necrozma - The encounters of these legendary Pokémon are Shiny-locked, making it impossible to obtain thier Shiny variants in the game.

• Cosmog and Cosmoem - Cosmog can be obtained as a gift after the game's completion, however, it's also locked to never be Shiny. Being that the only way to obtain Cosmoem is to evolve Cosmog, the player can't obtain a Shiny variant of this Pokémon either.

• Eternal Flower Floette: It's still left over from X and Y, but it's still unused. As a result, it's still impossible to get a Shiny variant of it.

Unobtainable Z-Crystals and Z-Moves

There is one Z-Crystal for each type in the game as well as some special ones for Pokémon like Snorlax or Alola-Raichu. However, there are three Z-Crystals which can't be obtained yet.

Unused Audio

me_nj_test13

A slightly extended version of the basic obtain item jingle, me_nj_item. For comparison:

me_xy_o_power

300px Since the PSS (Player Search System) was removed here, the O-Power System was also removed, so this sound goes unused.

bgm_xy_vs_secret_01

As in Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire , a remix of the "Battle! VS Champion" theme from Red and Blue is included to be used in the finals of the Pokémon Video Game World Championships tournament. It is identical to the one in X and Y.

Unused Area

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.

There is an unused golf area that was cut from the game late in development. It is fully textured but inaccessible. Notably, the final member of the Elite Four is Kahili, a golfer who is the only member not introduced in the game previously. She likely would have served as the trial captain of the golf course, bringing the total trials in the game to eight, mirroring the eight gyms of all previous generations.

Unused Graphics

rgba8.ctpk

A map of Earth. This texture seems to originate from Microsoft's DirectX SDK sample programs.

Unused Models

Placeholder Character Models

The first two files in "a/1/9/6" contain this cube model. The skeleton suggests it was meant to test player movement or animation during the initial phase of development.

Debugging Files

To do: FieldDebug.cro and SeqEditor.cro do seem to have some level of functionality, check what they do and if it is possible to force the game to load them.

Just like in Pokémon X and Y, there are leftover debugging-related CROs (the 3DS equivalent of a DLL). Unfortunately, the majority of them are useless, since the game does not load them at all and they are also stubbed, only having the basic CRO loading code, leaving only their filename for you to guess their purpose.

A leftover from the GAMEFREAK Archiver. To put it simply, this .gaix file is a C header that links the original file names to the GARC index; those headers are then meant to be included in the code and are used to access the files in the .garc file.
