Tips
  • Use Beast Balls to catch all Ultra Beasts; they are effective even at full health.
  • For Kartana, use Pokémon that resist Grass and Bug.
  • For Celesteela, use Fire or Electric-type attacks. Be mindful of weather conditions.
  • For Nanu's Sableye, use Fairy-types.
  • For Nanu's Krookodile, use bulky Water, Ice, or Fairy-types.
  • For Nanu's Honchkrow and Absol, use Pokémon that can withstand a hit or two and exploit their poor defenses.
  • For Nanu's Alolan Persian, use Pokémon that resist Dark-types.
  • For Guzzlord, use strong attacks but avoid Fairy-types unless you can afford the 4x weakness. Inflicting status conditions is recommended.
