I wonder how are the other Pokemon not being particularly affected by pheromones...
I dread to think what cough Rowlet cough would be like

I’m expecting atleast one Meowth- Non-Pheromosa Pokemon ship moment in this episode.

Well, Lillie does have a Z-crystal, but she doesn't have a Z-ring yet. So how can she use a Z-crystal without any Z-ring?Notice how the summary says Z-crystals and not Z-rings, could we be getting Lillie focus? Any characters besides the main cast with Z-crystals? Hala?
I don't know why, but the summary makes me feel like they're gonna scrap the pheromones thing from Pheromosa altogether.
Personally, I'm more concern with whether they're gonna do what they've done with all of the other dangerous UBs up to this point (with the exception of Nihilego and Guzzlord) or not. I really hope they don't.

Be accurate to how they're depicted in the source material? Because that's what they've done with every UB.
If princess cockroach attack those Z-Crystal welder. It maybe the reason, those item that reminded her home-world (Ultra Desert), which it don't want to return back there due to it loneliness?
And the only Gen 7 Pokémon (besides Melmetal, we don't know for sure what generation it belongs to yet) period, actually.Right. That'd be the last UB left.
How exactly is the anime's portrayal such a monumental and unforgiving problem when the description doesn't even translate very well to the games either? In a series where base stats matter so much more than some hype-inducing tagline, any NPC trainer could defeat a Pheromosa if they were packing the mighty Gale Wings Fletchling, and let's not get into how frightening the average Ember attack can be for Kartana.All I'm saying is that, for a bunch of mysterious creatures that "possess power that transcends humans' understanding of the world", they sure aren't portrayed as such by the anime.

Out of any Pokémon media, I would say only the Adventures manga has actually portrayed them as possessing this kind of stated power. Absolutely nothing short of certain legendaries like Silvally have contended with the UBs so far.
In Sun and Moon, they're portrayed as invasive species that are threatening their surroundings, and thus, very threatening. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, where most of them are fought in Ultra Space, you fight them in their home worlds, so they are only threatening in the sense that they're powerful and unknown, not because they're in an unfamiliar environment that causes them to act violently.My point wasn't that UBs should be shown possessing some unimaginable power (though I wouldn't mind if they would at least show the UBs' Beast Boost ability, since they have no problem showing a similar-looking ability whenever a Totem Pokémon appears). No, my point was that, with a description like that, you'd expect the Ultra Beasts to be shown as some kind of menacing threat, something that one needs to be very cautious about. The games actually do a great job presenting them in this way, since all of the UB encounters in USUM shows them in a towering manner. When you first encounter them in the ultra versions, the Ultra Beasts are imposing. They're mysterious. They're powerful. They're dangerous. And, most importantly, they a threat that shouldn't be taken lightly.
In contrast, the anime chose to portray them as some kind of goofy monsters of the week. Outside of Nihilego, Guzzlord and maybe, MAYBE Buzzwole, they're shown to be nothing more then an inconvenience that gets defeated in a very comical manner. They're no longer intimidating, mysterious and powerful extra-dimensional beings that one should fear. No, instead, they're nothing more than far-away Pokémon causing accidental mischief.
And the only Gen 7 Pokémon (besides Melmetal, we don't know for sure what generation it belongs to yet) period, actually.
Good to see Pheromosa in the anime.
"The Problem with Paras" says hello as well...Seriously though, what's with SM Nyasu's attraction to non-feline pokemon?Tale as old as crime
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
