Ultra Space Vikavolt (aka UB 145 UFO)
Ability - U. F. O. - Gives Flying and Steel's resistances + immunities
HP - 59
Atk - 59
Def - 107
SpA - 149
SpD - 107
Spe - 89
BST - 570
New Moves - Psychic Moves and Flamethrower/Fire Blast
Flavor - "The Aether Paradise attempted to send a few Vikavolts to the Ultra Space to test how these bugs would behave in this alternate dimension. Since in certain parts the Ultra Space there's no Oxygen the few courageous explorers that got to see some Vikavolts in the Ultra Space figured that their mettalic armor was to preotect them from the lack of Oxygen and also from the intense radiation that was emitted in that place. Many theorise, as well, that Vikavolt couldn't get Electric energy in the Ultra Space because in Ultra Space the Electric energy is transmitted differently from our world, making Vikavolts unable to absord them. The Psychic powers are also assumed to be a collateral effect of the radiation, but the lack of explorations to Ultra Space makes very hard to find correct informations about the truth on that alternate dimension" - A random Aether scientist
Competitive Analysis - Normally, Bug/Psychic would be a terrible defensive typing, but when you consider that U. F. O. gives UB 145 many important resistances, making it to only Dark, Ghost and Fire. This typing allows it to act as pivot thanks to its average bulk, average speed and access to Volt Switch/U-Turn. But most importantly, base 149 SpA is extremely high, and when you couple its STABs with Flamethrower/Fire Blast, it hits every single Pokémon neutrally (except Heatran cuz' Flash Fire), leaving a spot for the last move to be either Volt Switch or U-Turn.

Name: Golisopod (UB 32: Skeleton)
New Stats: 79/127/149/59/97/59 (BST 570)
New Typing: Bug/Ghost
Added Moves: Shadow Sneak, Curse, Phantom Force, Destiny Bond, Shadow Bone
Removed Moves: All Water and Ice moves
Abilities: Intimdate (Hidden Ability: Magic Guard)
Appearance/Flavor: Loses its cowardly nature as a Wimpod when it evolved in Ultra Space, instead becoming something more intimidating. It has a bone-white exoskeleton and can retreat into a spirit dimension, sneaking up on prey when it hunts. It collects bones to make its armour look more intimidating. These bones still contain remnants of the spirits of its prey, which has given its skeletal armour a mysterious quality and power that protects it from hazardous terrain.
Possible moveset(s):
Golisopod (UB-32) @ Leftovers/Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SpD/252 Spe
Adamant Nature
-First Impression
-Shadow Sneak
-Swords Dance
-Leech Life/Shadow Bone/Sucker Punch
With Magic Guard, UB Skeleton is pretty much the opposite of Shedinja. It has strong bulk and is immune to hazards/passive damage- it's a proper chance to see what a Bug/Ghost typing can really do. Stat-wise, it only has small increases on each stat compared to the original, but stats weren't the big problem with the original- the ability was. What makes this Pokemon dangerous is access to Swords Dance with its buff bulk and priority moves. Last move is either for recovery or for offense.
Golisopod (UB-32) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SpD/252 HP
Adamant Nature
-First Impression
-Shadow Sneak
-Sucker Punch
-Leech Life/Shadow Bone
Use your access to priority moves to the fullest while being protected by Assault Vest, upgrading your already decent Special Defense.

Either way, I already voted so... can't really help
I wouldn't complain if someone made alternate accounts and voted.

Why are the Lycanrocks so big
Will edit here soon
Will edit here soon
They like to be tall.
I won with one of my favourite mons :P I will put a submission in soon.The next slate is...Kahuna and Elite 4 aces!
Btw why is Dhelmise here? Palossand is Acerola's main.
If you look at the intro to the PM, Pallosand and Komala are used as examples.
Ok, I only saw the Komala example, thanks for the explanation.
Everything's cool dude
Name: Alolan Persian (UB XX: Tycoon)
New Stats: 79/59/79/127/113/113 (BST 570)
New Typing: Dark/Steel
Removed Moves: Fury Swipes, Amnesia, Hypnosis
Added Moves: Minimize, Flash Cannon, Growth
Abilities: Fur Coat/Hustle (Dazzling)
Appearance/Flavor: Alolan Persian is now much fatter, and appears to be in a business suit plated with gold. It stands on two legs, and its face is now a perpetual scowl. They had first arrived in Ultra Space a long time before any other species, and ended up on a planet with plentiful resources. They built up a massive financial empire in around a century. (yes, I did seriously make this for the sake of money puns)
Possible moveset(s):
Nasty Plot Sweeper
Persian-Alola-Ultra @ Life Orb
Ability: Dazzling
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid/Modest Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Flash Cannon
- Dark Pulse
- Thunderbolt
This is probably its best set since Fur Coat sets are more of a gimmick because of its lack of reliable recovery. Dark/Steel/Electric is perfect coverage, and Dazzling helps cover its massive weakness to Mach Punch.

Gun Dhelmise was actually one of my less stupid ideas for Ultra Space Dhelmise.
Name: Dhelmise (UB XX: Howitzer)
New Stats: 101/41/149/127/127/23 (BST 570)
New Typing: Ghost/Steel
Removed Moves: All Grass-type moves, Anchor Shot, Gyro Ball, Rapid Spin
Added Moves: Thunderbolt, Thunder, Flamethrower, Aeroblast, Charge Beam
Abilities: Railgunner (Electric type moves are treated as STAB)
Appearance/Flavor: Dhelmise's seaweed body ended up attaching to a railgun after they ended up on a war-torn desert planet. They were mostly used in the service of rebel forces, and helped the rebels retake the planet. Since then, they have been used all across Ultra Space, and are a common sight aboard ships.
Possible moveset(s):
Bulky Choice Specs Wallbreaker
Dhelmise @ Choice Specs
Ability: Railgunner
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA/ 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Flash Cannon
- Flamethrower
It's a bit slow for dealing with sweepers, but it's an excellent wallbreaker thanks to its great technical STAB combination.

Name: Lycanroc-Midday (UB XXA: Garoumancer)
New Stats: 79/71/89/137/67/127 (BST 570)
New Typing: Fire/Ground
Removed Moves: All Rock-type Moves, Bulk Up, Swords Dance, Brick Break
Added Moves: Earthquake, Earth Power, Calm Mind, Magnitude, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Mystical Fire, Inferno, Lava Plume, Power Gem
Abilities: Intimidate/Vital Spirit (Drought)
Appearance/Flavor: When Lycanroc first arrived in Ultra Space, they arrived on a highly volcanic planet. Very few had survived from the first generation, but over time, they became able to manipulate fire and magma, and even the ground itself. Some of them became necromancers, and the necromancers are detailed in the below entry. This caste of Lycanroc has lightish red fur on its head and back, with a tan underbelly.
Possible moveset(s)
CM Sweeper
Lycanroc-Midday-Ulta @ Life Orb
Ability: Drought
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Earth Power
- Flamethrower/Fire Blast
- Power Gem
- Calm Mind
Excellent sweeper with an amazing Speed tier. Fire Blast is mostly if you value raw power over more spammability, and allows it to melt basically everything not named Chansey at +1.
Name: Lycanroc-Midnight (UB XXB: Necroloup)
New Stats: 79/71/89/137/127/67 (BST 570)
New Typing: Dark/Ground
Removed Moves: All Rock-type moves, Counter, Swords Dance, Bulk Up, Brick Break
Added Moves: Earthquake, Earth Power, Calm Mind, Magnitude, Dark Pulse, Hypnosis, Night Daze, Nightmare, Hex, Will-o-Wisp, Moonblast
Abilities: Unnerve/Vital Spirit (Shadow Shield)
Appearance/Flavor: This caste of Lycanroc uses necromancy and control over shadows to deal with threats and defend the pack's territory. They have a few skulls dangling from a braided fur beard, however, despite this, they are not malicious. This caste has dark blue fur, and, similarly to Garoumancer Lycanroc, a tan underbelly.
Possible moveset(s)
Bulky Calm Mind
Lycanroc-Midnight-Ultra @ Leftovers
Ability: Shadow Shield
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Calm Mind
- Earth Power
- Dark Pulse
- Moonblast
Shadow Shield brings this thing's bulk up to much more insane levels than they are at normally. It's got the same amount of firepower as Lunala to boot as well. Ground/Dark/Fairy is perfect coverage, and all three of the moves are pretty high-power to boot.

(Extreme WIP)
Name: Crabominable (UB XX: Ice Fortress)

Removed Moves: All Fighting-type moves except Bulk Up, Crabhammer

Abilities: Impenetrable (immune to Fire- and Fighting- type moves)
Appearance/Flavor:
Possible moveset(s):
Bulk Up
Crabominable-Ultra @ Leftovers
Ability: Impenetrable
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Bulk Up
- Ice Hammer
- Iron Head
- Recover
This thing can also serve as a wall, but an extremely bulky Bulk Up user also works well for it. 157/127/127 bulk is insane, and it can put that bulk to good use.
