The Reassembly Unit will always use the maximum amount of Cells and Cores it can in assembly operations.

  • 50 Cells/Cores: Zygarde 50% Forme with Aura Break

Ultra Beasts

After becoming Champion, if the player visits the Route 8 motel on Akala Island, they will be recruited by Anabel and Looker to capture the Ultra Beasts that escaped from the Ultra Wormhole as a form of protective custody. There are five different missions to capture different Ultra Beasts that will take the player to each of Alola four islands. In some missions, there will be multiple of the same species, and in some missions, the Ultra Beast may be able to be found in either of two locations.

When a battle with an Ultra Beast begins, it will be surrounded by an aura that sharply increases one of its stats. To help capturing the Ultra Beasts them, the player is given ten Beast Balls at the start of each mission. Most Poké Balls except the Master Ball and Beast Balls are no more effective than a regular Poké Ball against Ultra Beasts. The Beast Ball, however, is specifically designed to overcome this limitation.

If the player flees from or defeats any of the Ultra Beasts, they can still be found again immediately at the same place (or the alternate location, if applicable and if so desired).
