Alright, so the Pokemon showcased in this trailer during the opening ceremony of the Pokemon World Championships were the ones that were deemed as CoroCoro exclusives for the most part.

Sandygast emerges when the grudges of Pokemon and other creatures soak into the sand after they fall in battle. (This seems to be quite intrigruing if you consider the fact that sportsmanship is somewhat a part of Pokemon battles. Are there feelings that are kept within?) It's a possessed lump of sand and if you grab it's shovel, you will fall under the Pokemon's control. It has the power to manipulate children into gathering and sizing up it's body. (Even though Alola is based on Hawaii, the creatures that inhabit the area remind me of Australia's MONSTROUS animals.)

If it loses it's shovel, it may put up a tree branch, a flag or something else in it's place. Apparently it's a test of courage to put your hand into Sandygast's mouth as it can drain the vitality from people and Pokemon alike. It has the Water Compaction ability which raises it's defense when it gets hit by Water-type moves. (Now here's something that could be useful competitively, covering one of it's weaknesses.)

Palossand controls human adults into making them build a sandcastle that boosts it's defensive abilities as well as provides camouflage. If it loses some of it's sand, it can restore it on it's own. When moving around in the search of prey, the shovel on it's head revolves indicating that it could be serving as some sort of radar. Palossand loves the vitality of Pokemon and drags them into it's body so that it can steal their life force (WHAT?) It's sandy vortex swallows them and it is thought that the ill will left behind by these Pokemon is what causes a Sandygast to form.

Stufful's cute appearance and movements, plus it's fluffy feel make it popular amongst women and children alike. This Pokemon's strength is extraordinary and recieving one of it's powerful hits can bring down even a well-trained Pokemon. The truth is Stufful doesn't like being touched and will flail it's arms in protest if you try to hug it.
