It flies through the night sky, sprinkling sparkly dust. According to some, if that dust sticks to you, good things will happen to you.
Ultra Moon
It’s said that the patterns on its back are related to the stars in the night sky, but the details of that relationship remain unclear.
Ultra Sun
In battle, it throws punches with all four arms. The power of each individual blow is piddly, so it aims to win by quantity rather than quality.
