A good team covers multiple types, has reliable moves and can handle Totem Pokémon battles. These picks are widely recommended for a smooth playthrough of Pokémon Ultra Moon.
Your Starter
Decidueye, Incineroar and Primarina all fully evolve into strong late-game options. Incineroar’s power and Primarina’s special attack are especially reliable.
Early Game Catches
Look for a Grubbin that evolves into Vikavolt, a strong Electric and Bug attacker, and a Pikipek line for early Flying coverage.
Mid Game Power
Mudbray grows into Mudsdale, a sturdy Ground type, while Salandit (female) evolves into the fast Salazzle.
Late Game Options
Jangmo-o eventually becomes Kommo-o, and Mimikyu offers a unique Ghost and Fairy typing with its Disguise ability.
Don’t Forget Z-Moves
Z-Crystals unlock one powerful move per battle. Pairing the right crystal with your team’s strongest attacker can turn the tide of tough fights.
