So Poipole is a new Ultra Beast introduced in USUM. This is actually the first instance of sequel games introducing brand-new Pokemon not found in the previous game's code. That's pretty cool! I was relying on this sort of thing to make USUM worth buying!
Except... it's essentially a Legendary. It evolves, but you get it very late in the game, and the evolution requirement is to take it to the Move Learner at the Elite 4, which is right around the corner because again - you're late in the game. So any thrill of adding a Legendary to your party early and leveling it up as you adventure is lost. They may as well just hand you the final form.
All that aside, is this thing any good? Despite the name sounding like Curly from the Three Stooges saying Prince's favorite color, I kinda like the little bugger. The techno theme is unusual for a Poison-type, but somehow its head seems medical to me. Like injectors? So dealing in chemicals and stuff makes sense.
Ultra Grade: B+
