Generation VII
Best Team for Pokémon Ultra Sun
Pokémon Ultra Sun is an expanded Alola adventure with an additional story involving Necrozma, new Ultra Beast encounters, and the Rainbow Rocket postgame. It includes more Pokémon and a harder difficulty than the original Sun.
Recommended Team
Incineroar
Fire / Dark — Starter
Litten's powerful Fire/Dark combination handles most of the expanded trial and totem roster in Ultra Sun; Darkest Lariat ignores stat boosts, which is invaluable against the buffed totem Pokémon.
Wishiwashi
Water — Schooling Tank
Near Brooklet Hill early in the game; Wishiwashi in School Form has the combined power of a legendary Pokémon and handles the many Fire and Rock types in Alola.
Vikavolt
Bug / Electric — Special Sweeper
Grubbin on Route 1 → Charjabug at 20 → Vikavolt in a magnetic field area; its 145 Special Attack is tied for highest in its tier and Thunderbolt plus Bug Buzz covers the expanded Ultra Sun roster.
Mudsdale
Ground — Physical Wall
Mudbray at Paniola Ranch; Mudsdale's Stamina provides stacking Defence boosts that help tank the Rainbow Rocket bosses' powerful Pokémon.
Lycanroc
Rock — Midday Form Sweeper
Rockruff is found on Route 1; in Ultra Sun it evolves into Midday Lycanroc (between 7am–5:59pm), which uses Accelerock (priority Rock move) to outspeed and hit frail attackers.
Kommo-o
Dragon / Fighting — Coverage Ace
Jangmo-o in Vast Poni Canyon; Kommo-o's Clangorous Soulblaze Z-Move boosts all its stats by one stage — invaluable for the Rainbow Rocket and Ultra Necrozma battles.
Tips & Notes
- →
Ultra Necrozma (the final boss of the story) is extremely powerful at level 60 — make sure your team is at least level 55 before entering Megalo Tower.
- →
Lycanroc Midday evolves before 6pm in-game time (which mirrors real time in Ultra Sun) — make sure to level Rockruff between morning and afternoon.
- →
Rainbow Rocket brings back every villain team leader; their Pokémon are much stronger than in the original games — stock up on max revives before the post-game.
