Meloetta Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Meloetta is a Mythical Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 600 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a wallbreaker. Relicsong with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Meloetta's biggest threats include Scyther (Bug) and Hydreigon (Dark), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Meloetta has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Serene Grace is the go-to ability for Meloetta. It doubles the chance of moves' extra effects occurring. It's Meloetta's only ability.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Meloetta fills the wallbreaker role. It's a mixed attacker with base 77 Attack and 128 Sp. Atk. Base 90 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Relicsong, Close Combat, Thunder, and Heal Bell. Relicsong leads at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
As a Mythical Pokemon, Meloetta has limited availability — 8 games since its debut in Black & White. Typically obtained through special events or in-game quests rather than standard encounters.
