Poipole is the star of Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. This cheeky Poison-type Ultra Beast hails from a dimension called Ultra Megalopolis, which is like a wild parallel universe to our regular Pokemon world. This Pokemon serves as a starter in its world, showcasing its popularity and potential.

Known for its large head filled with adhesive venom, this Ultra Beast loves nothing more than playfully blasting it at foes while letting out a wild, mischievous laugh. At first, it might seem like a little troublemaker, but here's the twist – after spending some quality time with humans, it starts to understand human speech.

Naganadel, a dual Poison/Dragon-type Pokemon, is the evolved variant of this unique Ultra Beast. It evolves after learning the Dragon Pulse move.
