Necrozma using Ultra Burst

Ultra Burst (Japanese: ウルトラバースト Ultra Burst) is a transformation affecting Pokémon that is exclusive to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. The only known Pokémon to have this transformation is Necrozma, turning it into Ultra Necrozma.

Necrozma requires the light of either Solgaleo or Lunala in order to under go Ultra Burst. Ultra Burst has been absent from the core series as of Pokémon Sword and Shield, however it still appears in spin-off games and other media such as Pokémon Masters EX.

In the core series games

Gameplay

In order to undergo Ultra Burst, Necrozma needs to be in either its Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings forms and be holding an Ultranecrozium Z. Once these conditions are met, the player must select a specific icon in order to activate the transformation. Once one turn has passed, Necrozma may use the exclusive Z-Move Light That Burns the Sky, provided it knows the move Photon Geyser.

Ultra Burst may only be activated once per battle; any other Necrozma in the user's party will not be able to become Ultra Necrozma, even if it is also holding an Ultranecrozium Z. Necrozma will revert to its original form if it faints in battle and cannot activate Ultra Burst again, even if it is revived.

Ultra Burst is similar to both Mega Evolution and Primal Reversion, but instead, requires a Ultranecrozium Z as opposed to a Mega Stone or an Orb.
