This Ultra Beast came from the Ultra Wormhole. It seems not to attack enemies on its own, but its sharp body is a dangerous weapon in itself.

Strategy Overview
- Kartana has an unrivaled base 181 Attack backed with an incredible base 109 Speed.
- Beast Boost allows it to snowball from KOs.
- Base 59 HP / 131 Defense grants it solid physical bulk, allowing it to take punishment from the likes of Gyarados and Garchomp.
- Its amazing defensive typing leaves it with nine resistances, one immunity, and only two weaknesses.
- It is one of the few viable Grass-type Pokemon.
- Its movepool may be small, but it is very precise and gives Kartana sufficient coverage.
- The combination of these traits allows Kartana to threaten and revenge kill numerous Pokemon and makes it an easy Pokemon to choose in Team Preview. Kartana is also quite easy to fit on teams.
- However, it is somewhat ruined by its paper-thin base 31 Special Defense.
- The Base Power of its attacks is not impressive, balancing out its tremendous Attack stat and making it susceptible to Intimidate.
- Kartana Speed ties can get messy and snowbally.
