News New Ultra Beasts!

[GrumpyShaymin]

It's just been revealed that there are (at least) two NEW Ultra Beasts in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon! UB Burst is exclusive to Ultra Sun and UB Assembly is exclusive to Ultra Moon. What do you guys think about the reveal? After a long span of no substantial news (Lycanroc Dusk Form, but that wasn't exactly story-building huge) here's something that actually builds onto the game. I'm hopeful that there will be more Pokemon reveals as we get closer to the release date.

P.S. Also some new info on Necrozma, but that's another discussion for another thread.

I'm mainly wondering what kind of crazy type combos these new guys will get. Hopefully burst is a poison/fairy type.

Yeah I'm hoping for something crazy too. I want UB Assembly to be rock/ghost type.

 

[Sakuraa]

Burst looks amazing. As of now, it's literally the only Ultra Beast that I really like. The concept of a clown alien Pokemon is so cool.

Assembly is just meh for me. It's a cinder block with eyes and it just creeps me out

I thought Burst was a Dark/Fairy type initially, but I've read speculation that it might be a Fire-type. Its move is super effective on Decidueye and Metagross, looks like a firework, and it has candle shaped arms. Fire/Fairy, maybe?

Don't know about the jenga block one. Rock is the immediate guess, but hopefully it's more interesting than that.

edit: Actually, looking at Burst some more, its bodyshape is constructed kinda similar to a plant/flower... I give in trying to guess its type lol.

Looks like I get my Poke-clown even if it isn't a Popplio evolution!

 

[Peppermint Phoenix]

They don't have their true names yet so they is a chance that these technically formes.

What if these turn out to be Ultra Space variants of Johto Pokémon?

 

[Peppermint Phoenix]

@Kallyle I wasn't expecting that response. I was sort expecting to get called a denialist. But what could they be variations of other than ultra beasts?

 

[Alola]

Burst's type also eludes me. It looks akin to a Fairy type, given its colorful and whimsical appearance. But, it got a super-effective hit on Decidueye...So that it would mean it could possibly be a Fire, Ice, Dark, Flying, or Ghost type.

Something to note, too, everyone, is that its move may be a different type than it. Or perhaps it has an ability to change move types.

 

[PinkIceFox]

Aw, Burst is Sun only? Lame.. that's the one I actually liked of the two. Assembly looks so lame...

 

[Gengarzilla]

Interesting. I can't see myself picking either of them over my present favourite Kartana without more substantial information though. Models and sprites alone don't win you any battles.

 

[Almonds]

My guesses

Burst: Fire/Fairy
Assembly: Steel/Ghost

 

[GrumpyShaymin]

I actually really like Assembly, but I'm still going with Sun because I don't like the design of WoD Necrozma.

My guess is that Assembly will at least be partly Steel-type (that's a given) but it's other type might be Ghost or Dark (just as long as it's not Psychic)
Burst definitely looks like a Fairy-type, but maybe it's secondary type is Ice? It's hard to say. Kudos to Gamefreak for making such interesting and confusing designs.

I also like Assembly. I think it'll be Rock/Ghost due to the stones and also just because I like unique typings.

Assembly is the sickest looking cat on the block... this is getting really bad for me. Xurkitree and Nihilego sallied their way through to the top of my favorite Pokémon list only one year ago, and now in walks this gargantuan, eye-studded brick wall to give both of them a run for their money.

Burst is ludicrously awesome as well. Oh, sure, just deploy YOUR OWN HEAD as a grenade and then casually regrow a new one! Is that even a head!? With the UBs you can never be too sure...

 

[Kallyle]

@Kallyle I wasn't expecting that response. I was sort expecting to get called a denialist. But what could they be variations of other than ultra beasts?

Funnily enough, I actually made a thread about having Ultra Variants of certain Pokémon in the same vain as Alolan Forms, mostly Gen 2 species. Thus, I'm more open to these Ultra Beasts being variations of old Pokémon.

Anyways, I'm not sure about Burst, but UB Assembly kind of made me think of Forretress. In fact, ot looks just like a real fortress. Granted, I still think they could be new Pokémon, but I think there's a chance these new Uktra Beasts could be Johto Pokémon adapting to Ultra Space as well. It could go either way really.

@Kallyle

Burst is giving me Nihelgo vibes but Assembly could be Unown.

 

[Esserise]

Incidentally, how's that old "the UBs are the seven deadly sins" theory looking these days?

Let me guess, it's time to pivot to Dante's nine circles of Hell or something, isn't it?

I think the version exclusive aspect kills of the Nihilego possibly unless your suggesting that the original version is only available in Ultra Moon.

Also, speaking of Assembly and Unown, one of the Pokémon Daisuki Club websites (I think it was called that) said that Unown could be an Ultra Beast. You might be on to something there!
