Base Stats
It overwhelms opponents with quick moves, but sometimes it showboats for too long when it’s using a special move and gets itself into a pinch.
In combat, Hawlucha leaps nimbly about, taking advantage of its opponents’ blind spots. It’s also skilled at using superb submission holds.
Hawlucha Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Hawlucha looks average on paper at 500 BST. But Mold Breaker is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. A-Tier support on our tier list. Acrobatics with Electricseed is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Raikou (Electric), Walrein (Ice), and Aerodactyl (Flying) when using Hawlucha. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Psychic and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Hawlucha's base 118 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
Hawlucha gets Mold Breaker, Limber, and Unburden. But Mold Breaker is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Hawlucha is a physical attacker with base 92 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 118 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the support role.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Hawlucha has answers, but so do you. Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Electric, Ice, and Flying-type attackers hit hardest.
