Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Cheat Codes for Nintendo 3DS

Before a generation of Pokemon ends, a definitive edition of that generation’s titles is released. Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are the definitive releases of the seventh generation of Pokemon titles. These games did well on release both critically and commercially. Despite the many fans who sing the praises of these titles, there are a decent number of naysayers. They like the new quality of life changes these games brought but don’t like how similar they are to the original Sun and Moon. What’s the point of spending the money on an enhanced edition if it only changes a handful of things? This is a valid concern, but it didn’t affect these titles’ success. Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon went on to become the ninth-best-selling Nintendo 3DS titles of all time.

Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon’s Premise

These titles are similar to the other entries in the Pokemon franchise, while also introducing some new features unique to them. Most of the changes are gameplay focused like five new Pokemon being introduced to the generation. These games are considered some of the more unique entries in the franchise and the changes in this release further cement that. Despite these gameplay changes, you can still find the simple top-down RPG gameplay loop of the Pokemon franchise.

Evolving Poiple into Nagandel

Poiple is a new Pokemon added to Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon. You can get Poiple from the Ultra Recon Squad, as you progress in the story. However, you cannot evolve it until later in the game when you reach Mount Lanakila. Once you have access to Mount Lanakila, go to the Pokemon Center to find a woman dressed in a green suit. Before talking to her, make sure Poiple is in your party and Poiple has enough XP to level up. Once you have enough XP, Poiple will be ready to evolve. You also need Heart Scales in your inventory, which you can buy from restaurants and other places throughout the game. Then, talk to the woman in the Pokemon Center to remind Poiple of a special move called Dragon Pulse. You must forget a current move to remind Poiple of the special move. Once you have all the necessary things for evolving Poiple, your Poiple will automatically evolve into a Nagandel.

Ultra Beasts locations

Search the indicated locations to find the corresponding Ultra Beast. To catch Ultra Beasts, defeat them with the stat boost they get from the Ultra Wormhole. The Ultra Beasts are not shiny locked — so you can get shiny Ultra Beasts.

After this battle, you will see Ultra Beasts again when Lusamine uses Cosmog to create an Ultra Wormhole. This will cause the Ultra Beasts to spread out across the Alola region. You can finally obtain Nihilego when you explore the White Wormhole in Ultra Space. Sit in the chair at the end of a small corridor. Nihilego will attack and you can capture it.

Pheromosa (Ultra Moon only): It is found in the Ultra Desert. Find the White Wormhole where you complete the strength puzzles using the Machamp Shove. You can get Pheromosa after completing the puzzle.
