In the page for the Pokémon arcade game, Pokémon Ga-Olé, in this month's issue of CoroCo, it confirms that there will be a special disc for the "I Choose You" Cap Pikachu, a Pikachu wearing the cap that Ash wears in the new movie. However, it notes that you can scan this QR Code into Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon to get the Pikachu with this cap in the game.
This variant of Pikachu is not currently available in Pokémon Sun & Moon, with only the ones in the anime series being distributed currently in Japan and elsewhere later this year. This promotional Ga-Olé disc is obtained when you go to see the movie and works in a similar manner to the distribution of Magearna in Japan last year.

We currently have released (in Japan, they'll come to the west later this year most likely)

Original Cap Pikachu (From Pocket Monsters: 1996-2002)

Hoenn Cap Pikachu (From Pocket Monsters Advance Generation: 2002-2006)

Sinnoh Cap Pikachu (From Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl 2006-2010)

Unova Cap Pikachu (From Pocket Monsters Best Wishes: 2010-2013)

We also have these upcoming

Kalos Cap Pikachu (From Pocket Monsters XY: 2013-2016) - Starts tomorrow

Alola Cap Pikachu (From Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon: 2016-?) - Starts in two weeks

Each of these can use the special Pikashunium Z Z-Crystal to access the special Z-Move 100,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt that only the cap Pikachu can use

Now, thanks to this, we'll have a seventh in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, with the cap from the movie.
