Sun The blasts of energy it makes from sunbeams have terrifying power. However, it’s not able to fire its blasts at night or on rainy days.
Moon Known for its hefty horsepower, this Pokémon is a popular partner for construction workers.
Ultra Sun When it fires off energy with all its might, the power creates countless fissures on its body.
Ultra Moon It absorbs rays of sunlight and shoots out energy. It’s usually lurking deep beneath the surface.
Sword This hardy Pokémon can often be found on construction sites and in mines, working alongside people and Copperajah.
Shield Although its energy blasts can blow away a dump truck, they have a limitation— they can only be fired when the sun is out.
