Celesteela Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Celesteela works as a tank with 570 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list: a solid option in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon for the right team. Leech Seed with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Blaziken (Fire) and Manectric (Electric) when using Celesteela. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Celesteela has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Celesteela is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Celesteela appears at level 60. Prerequisite: LIMITED. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.
Beast Boost raises this Pokémon's highest stat by one stage when it faints another Pokémon. That's the one you want on Celesteela. It's the only ability Celesteela has.
Celesteela is a mixed attacker with base 101 Attack and 107 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 61 Speed, it won't be moving first often. Fits the tank role.
Game Availability
