Ultra Sun While the three of them normally get along splendidly, on rare occasions a huge fight will break out over which head gets to eat first.

Alolan Dugtrio

Sun Its shining gold hair provides it with protection. It’s reputed that keeping any of its fallen hairs will bring bad luck.
Moon These Pokémon are cherished in the Alola region, where they are thought to be feminine deities of the land incarnate.
Ultra Sun Its metallic whiskers are heavy, so it’s not very fast, but it has the power to dig through bedrock.
Ultra Moon Its shining gold whiskers are advanced sensors that can detect vibrations from sounds several miles away.
Let's Go Pikachu
Let's Go Eevee
They’re referred to as triplets, but they’re not identical—the metallic elements in their bodies differ slightly. The proof shows in their whiskers!
Sword Their beautiful, metallic whiskers create a sort of protective helmet on their heads, and they also function as highly precise sensors.
Shield The three of them get along very well. Through their formidable teamwork, they defeat powerful opponents.
