The blank spaces have to be new Pokemon

Why would they be totem Mon?? Hakamo-o is a totem but the black spaces are behind Kamo-o instead??

Also I just can't see mimikyu being a totem I'm sorry but these have to be Pokemon that were likely scrubbed from the demo.

Besides, Why would they scrub the totem Mon and leave everyone else??

My assumption is that Hakamo-o isn't a totem in the full game, but Kamo-o is.

Because they aren't scrubbed. The blank data IS what's supposed to be there.

Also, Being a Totem only applies a shader over the model, it doesn't need a dex entry or a render of it.

No, but the entire fact that these shinies are unique and they den have dex sprites (as opposed to the Totems which don't need them since you won't use them), indicates that they're catchable.

If they are for totems why it doesn't have a totem Wishiwash?

If they are for totems why there are TWO after Mimikyu?

Bu if they aren't for totem, why there is one after Raticate?

The totem mons use new models, and they're a different file to the original mons.

They just have no team preview sprite because you can't catch them, so instead we just found blank data.

They're most definitely Totems. They appear after all the confirmed Totems (Raticate, Gumshoos, Lurantis), as well as the demo Hakomo-o, but it's just put after Kommo-o as to not distrupt the chain.
The fact that there's 4 blank spaces after Mimmikyu makes it incredibly obvious as well, it's just the right fit for both its regular and busted forms.
The mistake a lot of people are making is assuming that EVERY trial will have a totem, and assuming Wishiwashi is a totem.

Nobody knows, Mimikyu has two sprites because of its ability, and the demo is based on Sun so there's no reason for Moon-exclusive stuff to be in the data.

People keep bringing up Pokestar sprites, but remember that they didn't have any extra information to be used in your party, like Ultra Beasts do. The fact that these sprites even exist means that Ultra Beasts are meant to be captured.

The Pokestars sprites even just had generic black silhouettes as their shinies, because GF didn't care and knew they were ever going to be used. Why bother giving unique shinies to each UB, if that's the case?

>>29260091
They have their own, specific shinies. Pokestars sprites, for example, ended up having a generic silhouette as their shiny. All of them. Because GF never intended for you to find them under any circumstances.

Meanwhile, UBs are given specific shiny colors for some reason, just like every Pokemon (because they give out shiny locked mons as events or whatever from time to time).

Why do this, or even give dex sprites, to a throwaway entity that won't be used?

To be fair, the Pokestar opponents had mostly, black silhouttes, obviously to fill the same role as the blank images for the totems, as a simple failsafe.
If UBs weren't intended for capture at all, they would have had the same treatment.

The official site straight up says every trial has a totem.

I DO think Wishiwashi is the totem though and the only reason it doesn't have extra files is because the totem is just locked into school forme and thr allies it summons are in its tiny base form. No need for a size variance there.

inb4 Wishiwashi's model is via a separate mechanic, and the 2nd sprite is actually reserved for the totem. The game just swaps the normal model for the totem model when the ability procs.

So the whole 7 Trial Captains/Sos Trials was real then?

WAIT what the fuck that makes no sense guys. With that logic, then probably ghost loli is AT THE LEAST would be the ONLY Trial Captain for...oh idk...

RIGHT THE BIG ASS ISLAND! XD I mean come one I'm sorry but this whole only "seven trial captains/totem pokemon" theory is stupid af. Like there could be no way. I mean seriously four of them have already been confirmed to be on the first two islands that's half-over half right there. Unless you have to chance down Loli girl on the third or fourth island we for sure as hell do not know the whole story.

Also think about it, what if the reason we only got this part of the dex is because it's the original data for 10-carat hill and stuff? Like they couldn't remove in time or whatever. Already we know there's for sure discrepancies even without the others explained away by totem pokemon (ie the spots between Zygarde forms, baby Marshadow when S/L got their own three-stage LINE, not all items, abilities and etc data being there.) So logically there's more than we know and we have to keep that in mind.

And like what's brought up, six out of the seven are shown, so maybe wishiwashi is not the totem pokemon given it's part of the trial for Lana, probably to catch it since she's a fishing guru. Then you fight water spider or something.

Also keep in mind some of the same leakers, which I think even Joe talked about, there being 10 UB in total AND 49 alolan forms. So there's still a lot of them we don't know for sure then.

And also while it wasn't completely scrubbed a lot of it was, maybe it was a glitch they didn't catch in time and had already this "ready to go" months ago like the demos for E3 and the like.

Ilima: Gumshoos/Raticate
Kiawe: Salandit evo
Sophocles: Vikavolt
Ghost/Fairy girl: Mimikyu
Lana: School-form Wishiwashi (?)
Mallow: Lurantis
Unrevealed Dragon Trainer: Kommo-o

Seven trials

Plus...
Hala: Fighting
Olivia: Rock
Bonnet-girl: Ground
Standing-on-Whale-Lord: Flying

Four Kahunas

I can understand having Normal starting trial... but muh feelings are hurt that Ghost would be in that mix considering the rest are special types. So my hope is that it's actually Fairy, since the Fairy-type aesthetic is still somewhat ill-defined compared to other types.

While I'm at it, the remaining types are:
Psychic
Dark
Bug
Rock
Fairy/Ghost (whichever isn't the trial)
Ice
Poison

Considering UB-02 comes in two forms and they're both fairly insectoid... is it fair to hypothesize that each UB-number will take one of those remaining types?

I haven't actually looked at UB images/sprites. Obviously 01 and 02/02 because of official promotional footage, and I know how many there are, but I've been scrolling past any UB images. So I could be horribly wrong. But... the numbers add up perfectly if each UB except the 02-siblings take a unique number.

I have a feeling hakamo-o will be a totem Pokemon, then. It seems a weird waste to devote the resources to the aura of something demo-exclusive. Plus, it's a traditionally-special-type, like almost all the other totems (excepting Ilima, which is forgivable as the first captain/Normal typing being so basic... and possibly Ghost/Fairy girl).

Also. Kahili. Supposedly a super strong trainer out conquering the world but also playing golf. I would assume she's a trial captain on Akala, considering the golf course. Is she the dragon captain, or is she the ghost/fairy? My guess is the former - or she's a post-game character.
