Additionally, the segment covers teaching Popplio TM Shadow Ball for ghost coverage in strategic battles.

In this segment, the video discusses strategies for building a strong Pokémon team in “Ultra Sun” and “Ultra Moon.” It advises on the best moves for Chargabug, including Bug Bite and Bug Buzz, and highlights the importance of using a move reminder to teach Bug Buzz at Blush Mountain. The video suggests utilizing the Signal Beam from a move tutor at Heahea Beach and Energy Ball TM, obtainable once Machamp ride is available, to tackle specific challenges.
The video also recommends capturing Munchlax early on Route 1, which evolves into Snorlax, a versatile team member. Key moves for Snorlax include Giga Impact, especially when combined with the Snorlium Z for powerful attacks, and TM Return for a strong STAB move. Other useful TMs suggested are Brick Break, Wild Charge, Rock Slide, and High Horsepower.
Lastly, the video introduces Alolan Muk, found at the trainer’s school. Its Poison and Dark typing provide robust coverage with only a single weakness to Ground. Alolan Muk is praised for its bulkiness and strong attack capabilities, making it a valuable team member for various battles.

In this part of the video, the discussion focuses on the strategic use of a poison-type Pokémon, particularly Muk, in battles against various trainers. Muk’s poison typing is highlighted as a strong counter to fairy types, despite its limited special attack power. Key moves such as Poison Fang and Gunk Shot are recommended, with Poison Barb as an item to boost poison moves early in the game. Muk’s effectiveness in numerous battles is noted, especially due to its ability to learn crucial moves like Crunch and Toxic, which are useful against challenging opponents like Totem Mimikyu and Hypno.
Next, the segment shifts to Hawlucha, a Pokémon that can be acquired early in the game. Initially noted for its inaccessibility before the first trial, a correction from the future clarifies that it can be obtained via a trade for Spearow at the Route 2 Pokémon Center. Hawlucha’s high speed and attack stats make it formidable in early battles, with its dual typing providing excellent coverage. The move Flying Press is particularly highlighted for its unique dual-type nature and increased power in later generations.

In this part of the video, the focus is on the strategic use and benefits of various Pokémon moves in tough battles within the game.

To address these gaps, the video suggests teaching the team acrobatics and break break, both available on the first islands, to help against specific totem Pokémon and trials.
The final recommended move is TM x-scissor to cover psychic and grass types. A surprising highlight is Mudsdale, described as an underestimated powerhouse despite its slow speed, due to its high base attack and solid defenses. Effective ground coverage moves are discussed, such as high horse power and earthquake, which are vital for various battles. Additional moves like heavy slam and TM rockslide are recommended for their broad coverage, especially against ice, fairy, and rock types. Lastly, teaching TM toxic is advised for its utility in battles and catching new Pokémon.
