19 – Necrozma

Type: Psychic

Classification: Prism Pokemon

Pokedex: Reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts, this life-form, apparently asleep underground, is thought to have come from another world in ancient times. Light is apparently the source of its energy. It has an extraordinarily vicious disposition and is constantly firing off laser beams.

Explanation: Necrozma is a fascinating creature that I find difficult to rank. You’re meant to think it’s an Ultra Beast, but it’s actually a regular Pokemon even if it seems to originate from the same place that they do. It’s most likely going to be the box mascot Pokemon for a speculated third game, Pokemon Stars, in which case we’ll probably find out a lot more about the Ultra Beasts and Necrozma’s connection to them.

For now, since we’re not actually ranking the Ultra Beasts here, this is a good opportunity to say that their design and Necrozma’s is incredibly cool. These Pokemon are not the cute, cuddly monsters we’ve gotten to know. They’re a bit scary, kind of mutated, and obviously other-worldly. Necrozma and friends make me eager to see more of the world they come from in a possible Stars, complete with all the bizarre creatures that reside there.
