  3. When its fighting spirit is set alight, the flames around its waist become especially intense.

    Ultra Moon

  4. Although it’s rough mannered and egotistical, it finds beating down unworthy opponents boring. It gets motivated for stronger opponents.

    Ultra Sun

  5. After hurling ferocious punches and flinging furious kicks, it finishes opponents off by spewing fire from around its navel.

    Moon

  6. This Pokémon has a violent, selfish disposition. If it’s not in the mood to listen, it will ignore its Trainer’s orders with complete nonchalance.
