Appearance
Pheromosa is an Ultra Beast that resembles a human-like, feminine cockroach. The majority of Pheromosa’s body is white, with a few beige sections on its limbs and antennas. Its torso favors a christmas tree shape and is made of five discs. Pheromosa also has a long, translucent veil, made to look like cockroach wings crossing, falling from its head.
Behavior
Pheromosa tends to shun any physical contact in Alola, where it is from. This is due to the fact that it senses uncleanness in the world.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Pheromosa is strong against Fighting, Ground, Grass, Bug, and Dark Pokémon. However, Pheromosa receives four times the damage from Flying types and takes twice the damage from Fire, Psychic, and Fairy Pokémon.
Shiny Pheromosa
The Shiny Pheromosa is very similar to the normal Pheromosa with the main difference found in its legs. Shiny Pheromosa has a black lower torso and hips, as well as black legs but instead of beige patches on its limbs, the Shiny Pheromosa has light gray patches.
Best moves (Pheromosa)
Pheromosa has a lot of strong moves, including two moves that have 150 power and 90% accuracy. Here are Pheromosa’s best moveset: Both Giga Impact and Hyper Beam are powerful, but using either will mean the user cannot move on the next turn. Outrage lasts 2-3 turns and confuses the user afterwards. High Jump Kick will hurt the user by 50% of its max HP if it misses.
| Giga Impact | Hyper Beam |
| High Jump Kick | Outrage |
