The Ride Pager, used to summon Ride Pokémon as part of Poké Ride, is not normally available as an item. However, it is present in the internal data of the games at index number 850 (0x0352).
Additionally, the Macho Brace is unused in this game despite being present in all the past games since Generation III.
Inverse Battles
Inverse Battles are in the coding of Generation VII although no NPC's can trigger them.
Pokémon GO
Pokémon GO exists as a location name at index number 30012 (0x753C). The Wonder Card at index number 88 (0x58) is intended to be used for a gift related to Pokémon GO. Additionally, Pokémon with the game of origin byte set to 34 (0x22) will display Pokémon GO as their location in Pokémon Bank, using a G in a circle as an origin mark.
Global missions
Although 12 global missions were programmed into the game, only nine of them were used. The remaining three are listed below:
| Mission |
|---|
| Get high scores with your Poké Finder! Take as many photos that exceed 10,000 points as possible with your Poké Finder! |
| Catch Crabrawler! Catch as many Crabrawler as possible! They're hiding behind Berries! |
| Win Battle Royals! Win as many Master Rank Battle Royals as possible during the mission period! |
Unused graphics
There is an unused graphic of the real world map in the game.
Unused models
There are unused models of the player character's wireframe as well as two unused overworld models of Zygarde. Walking and running models of all 802 Pokémon exist in Sun and Moon's files including Mega Evolutions and alternate forms. There is also an unused model of the Rotom Pokédex, seemingly from before the Pokédex is inhabited. In the files of various trainers, an unused helmet model can be found, likely intended to be worn by the trainers. Zygarde's 50% Forme overworld model was later used in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
