Strategy Overview
Like many other Ultra Beasts, Kartana boasts a significantly skewed stat distribution that lends itself to all-out offense. Kartana's sky-high Attack stat is matched by none, making it one of the most potent attackers in the tier. A go-to combination of Grass- and Fighting-type attacks provides Kartana with surprisingly comprehensive coverage in Doubles, only being resisted by generally uncommon types such as Flying, Poison, and Bug. Kartana's access to Tailwind further allows it to effectively bridge the gap between support and offense. Thanks to its viability as an offensive Grass-type, Kartana forms a very effective Fire / Water / Grass core with Incineroar and Tapu Fini. However, Kartana's defensive stats sadly betray its defensive typing, so its defensive capabilities are mainly limited to neutral physical attacks or resisted special attacks at best. As long as its paper-thin defenses are not tested, Kartana can snowball its way to a clean-cut victory.
