!!PULSE Pokemon

[[folder:PULSE Pokemon In General]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: What she does to Connal is ''horrifying'', and easily qualifies as a CruelAndUnusualDeath... but while Connal himself might not have deserved a death that horrific, the only person who's really sad about it to any degree is Saphira, who wanted to kill him herself.

* RealityWarper: Given it's an even more powerful form of the God of the Pokemon universe, this should probably be expected. Lin even uses it to deprive you of oxygen on the Anna route main game ending.

* TragicVillain: This game's version of one. [[spoiler: Defiant and rebellious while young, he now views that behaviour as the reason his parents died. His family was the original holders of the 4 keys, protecting them and the Citadel with their lives. Then came a thief who killed them and tried to steal the keys, only to be killed by Solaris in return. This caused him to fully devote himself to their family's purpose. Sometime in between then and the plot as it is now, Reborn City and its Predecessor were built over the Citadel and the community that surrounded it. Originally he founded Meteor to protect the Citadel but as it was built over and forgotten, Meteor's purpose turned towards getting people to leave the city to restore the Citadel. While this was mostly passive at first, over time it turned into the full blown terorrism you see today, as a result of members like Lin and Sirius. In the end, what does the man get for trying to uphold his family's duty and protect Reborn's history? He loses everything he had left. His son. His pride. His organization. His life.]]

** [[spoiler:Averted in your third battle with him, where his pokemon are all around level 90, and he brought along a Mega Stone for his Garchomp]].

* WorldsBestWarrior: She defeated Ame, the Champion of Reborn, (in a fight that was entirely offscreen), before killing her. Earlier in the story, her Hydreigon was able to deliver an apparent CurbstompBattle to a supersized Lv 75 Steelix and Saphira. In addition to her powerful Pokemon, she herself can deflect an direct Aegislash blade from Titania with her bare hands, and walked off a hit from Samson without any issues.

The first PULSE Pokemon, which [[spoiler:was responsible for turning Zero, Evelynn, and Lumina from three separate people into three souls inhabiting a single body. Located in a Team Meteor base in Reborn City.]]

* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler: Lumina's]] journal reveals that the first PULSE machine was designed by [[spoiler: Evelyn]] to amplify the healing powers of a pokemon [[spoiler:in hope of healing her sister's genetic illness]]. Then Team Meteor caught wind of the invention and figured it could be used to enhance the power of all kinds of Pokémon. [[spoiler:Magneton fell into the PULSE as it started evolving, and it led to the creation of ZEL.]]

A series of Pokemon of the same species, with Grass/Poison and Filter, Grass/Ground and Arena Trap, and Grass/Rock and Stamina as their respective typings and abilities.

* PaperTiger: They're the first PULSE Pokemon you encounter, and aren't generally as threatening as the later ones.

* FlunkyBoss: [[spoiler:In its fight in postgame, this is how it gets around the usual things you would try to use to beat a 1 HP Sturdy mon. Its allies will set up things like Safeguard to prevent Status or draw attacks away with Rage Powder. Plus, the New World field prevents you from using things like sand or Hail to knock it out. So, unless you have a Pokemon with Mold Breaker, you're going to need to blast through its ally Pokemon before you have a chance to beat it.]]

* BaitAndSwitchBoss: [[spoiler:This is the PULSE Pokemon Lin will use in her first fight, not Arceus. She even {{Lampshades}} this, asking if you were expecting something else.]]

* PuzzleBoss: It's going to oneshot pretty much every single Pokemon it sees that isn't Ghost type with Hyper Beam, and it's fast enough that exploiting the cooldown phase that results or using pokemon with Sturdy is probably the only way you're going to defeat it.

* AlwaysAccurateAttack: As stated above, it has No Guard to do this. While not too bad in its [[spoiler:Void fight]], taken to annoying extremes [[spoiler:on its Darkrai quest fight where it will utilize this with the usually low accuracy Dark Void to hit both of your Pokemon out.]]

[[spoiler:Before you fight it, it somehow disconnects itself from the PULSE it was attached to, and "manipulates" the now-deceased Sigmund Connal's Pokemon to fight you for it]].

* NighInvulnerable: [[spoiler:It's a ''Ghost/Dark type with Wonder Guard'', plus it has Leftovers as a held item and Moonlight to heal, meaning that even hurting it at all requires either disabling Wonder Guard, status effects or Fairy moves, and that a OneHitKO is ''completely'' impossible without setup or X items, since it's at level 100 when you fight it, and its defenses and HP are all through the roof]]. [[spoiler:And it has ''Entrainment'' -- which lets it ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck give other Pokemon Wonder Guard...]]'' not just any Pokemon, either, but Sigmund's pure Electric type Pokemon, whose held Seeds will instantly give them Magnet Rise when they come out, meaning they flat out have no weaknesses and Entrainment makes them even ''more'' invulnerable than Mr. Mime itself.]]

* StoneWall: [[spoiler:It's got no offensive moves of its own besides Night Shade, but it has access to Sigmund Connal's pokemon to fight for it]].

[[spoiler: A Dragon/Water type with Contrary when you fight it, after Zero was separated from Eve and Lumi, he took over controlling the PULSE, and has it as the last Pokemon on his team when you fight him]].

* DefeatMeansPlayable: Like the other Anomalies, though unlike other PULSE Pokemon, once you defeat PULSE-Arceus in postgame you can catch Arceus. Unfortunately, there's no way to use the PULSE form legally.

* TrueFinalBoss: Of ''Pokemon Reborn''. It's the final enemy of both the main and postgame, and it will always be either the last Pokemon sent out or fought on its own (Anna route main game ending) before you can see the credits.

* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Thanks to the Murkwater Field and Water Absorb, Swalot regains health every turn.

[[folder:PULSE-10:PULSE Clawitzer]]

[[folder:Arc-PULSE '''(SPOILERS)''']]

A Steel/Electric type with absurd special attack and the ability to Levitate.

[[spoiler:Muk was created by Team Meteor to contaminate Azurine Lake directly, and is located in the Blackstream Factory]].
Starts out as a Poison-type, but likely won't stay that for long due to Protean.

A series of PULSE machines rather than a single pokemon, there are three total PULSE Tangrowths, located across Reborn City for the purpose of unleashing hostile foliage to get people to depart the region.

* PaperTiger: They're the first PULSE pokemon you encounter, and aren't generally as threatening as the later ones.

* GoneHorriblyWrong: Team Meteor intended to use Abra to DungeonBypass [[spoiler:the lock on the outside of the Citae d'Astra, the tower where Arceus's Meteor is stored]]. As it turns out, though, Abra wasn't willing to cooperate. Even when Lumi asked nicely. [[spoiler: The specimen Lin uses later lacks this problem.]]

* WeaksauceWeakness: It is very vulnerable to bug types.

[[spoiler:Before you fight it, it somehow disconnects itself from the PULSE it was attached to, and "manipulates" the now-deceased Sigmund Connal's pokemon to fight you for it]].

* NighInvulnerable: [[spoiler:It's a ''Ghost/Dark type with Wonder Guard'', plus it has Leftovers as a held item and Moonlight to heal, meaning that even hurting it at all requires either disabling Wonder Guard, status effects or Fairy moves, and that a OneHitKO is ''completely'' impossible without setup or X items, since it's at level 100 when you fight it, and its defenses and HP are all through the roof]]. [[spoiler:And it has ''Entrainment'' -- which lets it ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck give other Pokemon Wonder Guard...]]'' not just any Pokemon, either, but Sigmund's pure Electric type Pokemon, whose held Seeds will instantly give them Magnet Rise when they come out, meaning they flat out have no weaknesses and Entrainment makes them even ''more'' invulnerable than Mime itself.]]

[[spoiler: A Dragon/Water type with Contrary when you fight it, after Zero was separated from Eve and Lumi, he took over controlling the PULSE, and has it as the last pokemon on his team when you fight him]].

* ShutUpKirk: His answer to Heather's KirkSummation is to ask if she's done yet blabbering, and that he can't hear her over the sound of whining brat.

* SignatureMon: Walrein. As of Episode 17, it's now Alolan Sandslash.
