Read more ↓Poipole is a fascinating Poison-type Ultra Beast introduced in Generation VII, specifically in the *Pokémon Ultra Sun* and *Ultra Moon* games. Known as the "Poison Pin Pokémon," it originates from Ultra Space, a dimension distinct from the Pokémon world. Its appearance is quite distinctive, resembling a small, purple, bipedal creature with a large head adorned with syringe-like appendages and glowing cyan eyes. Poipole is unique among Ultra Beasts as it is the only one capable of evolution; it evolves into Naganadel when leveled up while knowing the move Dragon Pulse. In the games, Poipole is given to the player character in Ultra Megalopolis, making it a significant encounter. Its role in the anime further solidifies its charm, particularly in *Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon*, where Ash Ketchum catches one that eventually evolves into Naganadel and plays a crucial part in saving the world. Poipole's design and backstory contribute to its mystique, portraying it as an alien yet endearing creature that adapts to its new environment. Its Poison typing makes it effective against Grass and Fairy types, while its Ultra Beast status adds a layer of exoticism, distinguishing it from conventional Pokémon.
