After a freaking large amount of time, I've finally done it. I have created UB-04 Blade, properly known as Kartana. It is a Sun-Exclusive Ultra Beast, and you have to capture four of these things once it pops up in the post-game mission. This model was surprisingly hard to make, especially its "legs". Yikes. Nevertheless, I persevered and finally got this done.
Info: UB-04 BLADE, also known as Kartana, the Drawn Sword Pokemon. Despite its small size compared to the other Ultra Beasts, Kartana is extremely dangerous, as every edge of its body is impossibly sharp. It is able to cut down a gigantic steel tower with one stroke of the blades on its arms, and any opponents that try to attack it will be similarly cut apart. Its light, paper-like body allows it to evade most attacks by simply floating out of the way, but it also makes it highly vulnerable to fire and moisture. While it does not attack enemies on its own, it sharp body is dangerous in of itself.
I would also like to say that Kartana is my favorite Ultra Beast. Not only for its origami-like look, its somewhat playful animations, and its overall concept of paper-cutting to the extreme, but also because of its lovely battle properties. It's typing is Bug/Steel, meaning it's resistant to half of the type chart, save for a few such as Fighting and especially Fire types, and comes with the lovely property of being immune to Poison types (Which gets rid of your Toxapex issues, save for Salazzle, whose signature ability, Corrosion, allows it to poison ANY type). This thing's offensive abilities, though, are INSANE. In a similar manner to Buzzwole, this thing is more of a Physical Attacker than a Special Attacker, but is a WAY better one. A tiny Base HP of 59, beyond ridiculous Base attack of 181!!! 181!!! This means you can cut down almost any type in a single hit, breaking any wall thats been set up. Not only can it deal damage, it can take it too, with a crazy Base Defense of 131! At this point, its small health seemingly doesn't matter if it can not only act as a Physical Wall, but also act as a Physical Sweeper too. Is it completely OP? No. While its Special Attack is slightly better than Buzzwole's, being a small Base stat of 59, its Special Defense is even worse, being an embarrassing Base Stat of 31. Not to mention that Pokemon like Salazzle, Primarina, Garchomp, Lucario, Talonflame, Vikavolt, and so many other well-rounded and Special Attack-Pokemon can end Kartana easily. Thats not going to help, though, since its Base Speed is 109, which out-speeds several of the aforementioned Pokemon. Don't even get me started on its scary ability Beast Boost, which all of the Ultra Beats share. Beast Boost raises an Ultra Beast's beast stat by one stage if it knocks out a Pokemon, which means the more KO's Kartana gets, the stronger it gets with it's already scary Base Attack stat. It's Base Stat Total equals up to 570. That is terrifying. While its not quite up to Legendary Status, it's strong enough already.
It gets even crazier when it has access to moves by leveling up like Synthesis, Psycho Cut, X-Scissor, Aerial Ace, Laser Focus, Detect, Leaf Blade, ****ing Swords dance AND Sacred Sword. Swords Dance and ****ing Sacred Sword (Isn't that move exclusive to the Swords of Justice? Apparently not anymore.) I don't care what Pokemon you use, a combination of both of that will mean your end. It also is able to learn TM moves like Calm Mind, Toxic (somehow), Double Team, also Swords Dance, Smart Strike, Giga Impact, and Substitute. All with good coverage and raw, un-contained offensive power! It's also tied with Cosmog, Ghastly, Haunter, and Flabebe as the lightest Pokemon in the entire series. Most people say that Kartana might be the best Ultra Beast in the game besides its Moon counterpart, Celesteela, whose Base Stats are the most balanced of the Ultra Beasts.
Welp this was a doozy to make. I'm not sure which one to start on next. Maybe Celesteela or Guzzlord. We'll just have to see.
