Pokemon Ultra Moon Postgame Bosses: Equal Measure

USUM has a few bosses with overlap, and also some entirely original ones. Although "entirely" might be an exaggeration.

First off, a rematch with Hala. With Molayne replacing him in the League, he would otherwise only be an early-game boss, and the devs weren't happy with that.

Now then, there's a lot of stuff we can fight for around Alola, and now we're going to work on getting our hands on them.

Pokemon USUM Bonus: Rainbow Rocket

Ray's got a lot of battles to do, and we're starting in a bit of an unusual place: The Battle Agency battle.

Ray gets to skip past the opening spiel since he's been here before. He does, however, have to choose a new Pokemon.

I did a test run of the Battle Agency where I got Bethany to join in. Despite this, however, I did not get her to join in a second time.

We'll have to take comfort in the fact that we at least got Noah. I'm extra happy because of how miraculous this team lineup was.

Anyway, a new day, it's time to check out these upstairs rooms. Turns out they've got Grunts in the foyers now!

Bold words for someone with one Pokemon.

Pokemon Ultra Moon Rainbow Rocket 2: The Tides of Battle

The red really makes the place look evil in a way that Lusamine's cold, white mansion did not. The song tries a little harder than the Mansion needed to, though.

Our first stop is the only room that could be found in SM- Lusamine's bedroom. The mirror remains frustratingly inert.

So do I, but far less pleasant ones.

...The only thing behind there is Lusamine's trophy room, and I'm sure you haven't been in there since this adventure started.

And I'm... actually, I'm not sure whether or not I want there to be a second way in. Either way, looks like there'll be more of the mansion to explore...

Pokemon Ultra Moon Rainbow Rocket 1: Hostile Takeover

When last we left Ailey, she had just caught herself a pair of Stakataka and was hurried home. This update takes place shortly after the start of the postgame, and thus, she doesn't yet have things like her Mega Stones and the Choice items. Fortunately, her team doesn't mean squat.
