Lombre Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide

  • Lombre is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space Wilds in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Lombre appears at level 60. Prerequisite: UNCOMMON. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.

  • For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, you can run Lombre through the first few routes without issues. 340 BST won't carry you far though. Get it to Ludicolo as fast as you can.

Game Availability

Obtainable through an item-based evolution, Lombre appears in 15 titles across 8 generations since Ruby & Sapphire. The evolution method adds a barrier that wild-catchable Pokemon don't have.
