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 and Eternal Flower Floette, though neither of them are available in-game.

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.

Locations

Akala Meadow exists as a location name at index number 66 (0x0042). In the final game, Pink Nectar can be found at Royal Avenue. There are three unused rooms in the player's house; a laundry room, a bathroom, and a garage. These rooms are fully textured. They are also unused in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

Battle backgrounds

An unused battle background for what appears to be a Gym is programmed in the game.

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 marking.

Unused graphics

There is an unused graphic of the real world map in the game.

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.
