Cubone
#197 in the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Pokédex • Lonely Pokémon
Ultra Sun
At night, it weeps loudly for its dead mother, but those cries only attract its natural enemy—Mandibuzz.
Ultra Moon
It wears its mother’s skull on its head, so no one knows what its bare face looks like. However, it’s clear that it’s always crying.
