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

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 their 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. Its stats remain the same.

Unobtainable Mega Stones

To do: Add a video of the Megas in action, as well as add sprites of each Mega Stone

Many Mega Stones from XY and ORAS are still in the game, and some have even had changes made to them. However, they CAN be encountered in the Battle Tree. It is not known whether these Mega Stones will be released in the future, if at all.

The unused Mega Stones are as follows;

• Aggronite
• Altarinite
• Ampharosite
• Audinite
• Banetite
• Beedrillite
• Blazikenite
• Cameruptite
• Diancite
• Galladite
• Gardevoirite
• Heracronite
• Houndoomite
• Latiasite
• Latiosite
• Lopunite
• Manectricite
• Mawilite
• Medichamite
• Mewtwonite X
• Mewtwonite Y
• Pidgeotite
• Steelixite
• Sceptilite
• Swampertite
• Tyranitarite

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.

ID	Icon	Name	Pokémon	Knows move?	Z-Move	Type	Category	Power
0x343 & 0x344	File:Pokemon-Sun-Moon-Pikashunium-Z-Sprite.png	Pikashunium Z	Ash-Pikachu	Thunderbolt	10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt	Electric	Special	195

Unreleased Hidden Abilities

In the Generation VII games, it is possible to find Pokémon with special "hidden Abilities". However, some Pokémon can not be obtained with their hidden Abilities through any legitimate means, rendering the hidden Abilities unused in normal gameplay.

Pokémon	Regular Ability 1	Regular Ability 2	Hidden Ability
Raikou	Pressure	None	Inner Focus
Entei	Pressure	None	Inner Focus
Suicune	Pressure	None	Inner Focus
Heatran	Flash Fire	None	Flame Body
Rowlet	Overgrow	None	Long Reach
Dartrix	Overgrow	None	Long Reach
Decidueye	Overgrow	None	Long Reach
Litten	Blaze	None	Intimidate
Torracat	Blaze	None	Intimidate
Incineroar	Blaze	None	Intimidate
Popplio	Torrent	None	Liquid Voice
Brionne	Torrent	None	Liquid Voice
Primarina	Torrent	None	Liquid Voice
Oranguru	Inner Focus	Telepathy	Symbiosis
Passimian	Receiver	None	Defiant
Tapu Koko	Electric Surge	None	Telepathy
Tapu Lele	Psychic Surge	None	Telepathy
Tapu Bulu	Grassy Surge	None	Telepathy
Tapu Fini	Misty Surge	None	Telepathy

As a result, the following abilities are currently completely unobtainable and thus unused:

• Liquid Voice, exclusive to the Popplio evolutionary line, would change any sound-based moves to be of the Water type.
• Long Reach, exclusive to the Rowlet evolutionary line, would ignore any effects of moves that cause contact (i. e. being damaged by the opponent's Rough Skin etc.)

Pokémon GO Gift

There's text for a currently unannounced Pokémon GO Mystery Gift / Wonder Card in the game files:

Thank you for playing Pokémon GO! Please pick up your gift from the deliveryman in any Pokémon Center.

Thank you for playing Pokémon GO! You have already picked up your gift from the deliveryman.

"Pokémon GO" is also listed in the location table as both a special location (Like "a link trade", "the Kanto region", etc.) at 0x753C, and as a gift location (Like "a faraway place", "GAME FREAK", etc.) at 0x9C94.

Unused Audio

me_nj_test13

me_nj_test13	me_nj_item

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

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. Specifically: Unless a video of a separate textured area with few invisible walls is posted, there's no evidence this even exists. Please provide some form of documentation of this.

There is an unused golf area that was seemingly cut from the game late in development. It is unknown as to why this area is inaccessible, and no items link to it becoming accessible in the future.

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.

AnaiTest.cro
ArakiTest.cro
AriizumiTest.cro
CharaViewer.cro
DebugBattle.cro
DebugItemMake.cro
DebugKeyboard.cro
DebugNumInput.cro
DebugPokeMake.cro
DebugWordSet.cro

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.

Oddities

Vast Poni Canyon Trial

The ambiance that plays in Vast Poni Canyon's Trial area is referred to as an encounter theme (alongside the other encounter themes, such as the regular Trainer theme) internally in its file name, yet it does not play for any encounters (not even Totem Kommo-o).
