Blacephalon is a Fire/Ghost type Pokémon introduced in Generation 7. It is known as the Fireworks Pokémon.

Blacephalon is an Ultra Beast introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, also known by the code name UB Burst.

Blacephalon tricks targets into letting their guard down as it draws near with its funny gait. Its head is made up of collection of curious sparks, and it appears to have the wondrous ability to freely remove its own head and make it explode.
