It always strikes a pose before going for its finishing move. Sometimes opponents take advantage of that time to counterattack.
Shield
It drives its opponents to exhaustion with its agile maneuvers, then ends the fight with a flashy finishing move.
Sword
In combat, Hawlucha leaps nimbly about, taking advantage of its opponents’ blind spots. It’s also skilled at using superb submission holds.
Ultra Moon
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.
Ultra Sun
With its wings, it controls its position in the air. It likes to attack from above, a maneuver that is difficult to defend against.
Y · Alpha Sapphire
Although its body is small, its proficient fighting skills enable it to keep up with big bruisers like Machamp and Hariyama.
X · Omega Ruby
