Stats & Training
Sigilyph's spread isn't flashy. Sp. Atk leads, Attack trails, 4 stats clear the bar. Tough to catch and worth 2 Sp. Atk EVs, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Psychic power allows these Pokémon to fly. Some say they were the guardians of an ancient city. Others say they were the guardians’ emissaries.
A discovery was made in the desert where Sigilyph fly. The ruins of what may have been an ancient city were found beneath the sands.

Best Locations to Catch Sigilyph in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon
Sigilyph Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Don't let Sigilyph's 490 base stat total fool you. Magic Guard is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as an attacker. Roost with Flame Orb is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Run Magic Guard on Sigilyph. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Sigilyph also gets Wonder Skin and Tinted Lens, but they don't compare.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Sigilyph fills the attacker role. It's a special attacker with base 103 Sp. Atk. Base 97 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Roost, Storedpower, Psychoshift, and Cosmicpower on Sigilyph. Roost is the most common pick at 20% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Introduced in Black & White, Sigilyph has appeared in 7 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
