This article lists the unused content of the Generation VII games Pokémon Sun and Moon.

Character development

Pre-release

Pokémon Direct

In the Pokémon Direct announcing Pokémon Sun and Moon on February 27, 2016, various pieces of concept art were shown.

Post-release

Pokémon

Eternal Flower Floette remains in the code of the Generation VII games. It has its own Pokédex entry in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Additionally, there are menu sprites for Cosplay Pikachu, Spiky-eared Pichu, and Eternal Flower Floette, though none of them are available in-game. Pichu, in particular, is notable because up to this point, even in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, she shared a menu sprite with typical Pichu.

Hidden Abilities

Some Pokémon are programmed to have Hidden Abilities in Generation VII, but cannot legally obtain them. These Abilities may be distributed in a later generation or event and are currently not obtainable.
