Stats & Training
Everything pushes toward mixed damage here. Hawlucha's Speed does the work, Sp. Def pays the price. But you're still getting 2 Attack EVs per KO. Moderately hard to find, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It overwhelms opponents with quick moves, but sometimes it showboats for too long when it’s using a special move and gets itself into a pinch.
In combat, Hawlucha leaps nimbly about, taking advantage of its opponents’ blind spots. It’s also skilled at using superb submission holds.
Hawlucha Weakness
Electric, Ice, Flying, Psychic, and Fairy moves hit Hawlucha for super-effective damage. The upside? Ground-type moves can't touch it at all. The Fighting/Flying typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Hawlucha leans offensive (base 92 Atk) rather than trying to tank its weaknesses.

Hawlucha Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Hawlucha looks average on paper at 500 BST. But Mold Breaker is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. B-Tier pivot on our tier list. Acrobatics with Electricseed is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, yes. Mega Hawlucha is the evolved form, sitting at 600 BST. Big power spike over base Hawlucha (500). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Raikou (Electric), Walrein (Ice), and Aerodactyl (Flying) when using Hawlucha. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Psychic and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Hawlucha's base 118 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
Hawlucha gets Mold Breaker, Limber, and Unburden. But Mold Breaker is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Hawlucha is a physical attacker with base 92 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 118 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the pivot role.
