Combine that with the fact that it's evo gets deflowered after laying an egg.

These moves are actually the three Pledge moves; they switched places in the code starting in SM and it doesn't look like Kazo updated his script yet.
Might be better with the Neuroforce boost. Rock is still a good offensive type and 80 base power isn't *terrible* (or you could use Stone Edge which I'm pretty sure Necrozma also gets). It also gets Earth Power and Flash Cannon for coverage.
Also, importantly, you transform it from a Necrozma that has already fused and it doesn't have any signature moves that we haven't seen the fused Necrozma using. That means it's more likely than not that Ultra Necrozma will be able to inherit Sunsteel Strike or Moongeist Beam for coverage too.
Silvally also got Heat Wave, it can now rock at doubles. Also it finally got a viable Special moveset.
Here's an updated moveset for Silvally:
@LifeOrb/Normalium-Z/Icium-Z/Firium-Z Silvally
252 SpA / 252 Spe / 6 Def
>Tailwind/Defog
>Icy Wind
>Hyper Voice
>Heat Wave
hahaha Now I'm just imagining a bunch of Guzzlord sitting on a power line like they were pigeons XD
It still has Stone Edge, EQ, Knock Off, Sunsteel Strike, and Photon Geyser, so all is not lost :)

Do we know 100% its getting Gyro Ball then? At first I was disappointed with UB Assembly's typing, but after seeing the stats, and just starting out in vgc, Im actually p hyped now. Rock typing giving it a nice stab Rock Slide off a base 131+ attack stat and Steel typing giving it easily the strongest Gyro Ball if it actually gets it, hitting max damage of base 150 anything hitting 96 speed or above (not base speed, actual speed) at level 50.
-1 252+ Atk Life Orb Stakataka Gyro Ball (150 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Landorus-Therian: 133-157 (81 - 95.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Life Orb Stakataka Gyro Ball (150 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tapu Fini: 165-195 (93.2 - 110.1%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Life Orb Stakataka Gyro Ball (150 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Garchomp: 192-227 (104.3 - 123.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

It will probably end up like Kyurem White/Black : two mons with really good stats, but with a really lacking movepool.
If we conveniently forget its horrible defensive typing and the fact it will always move last... it actually hits much harder than one would normally think.
-1 252+ Atk Iron Plate Stakataka Gyro Ball (150 BP) vs. 252 HP / 216+ Def Landorus-Therian: 172-204 (45 - 53.4%) -- 89.8% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
A neutral attack, mind you.
Probably a cool option in Trick Room, but low-tier everywhere else.
FUN FACT: Iron Plate Gyro Ball hits Skarmory harder than unboosted Rock Slide. (0.3% weaker when both have the same boosts)
252+ Atk Iron Plate Stakataka Gyro Ball (150 BP) vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 93-109 (27.9 - 32.7%) -- 87.2% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Stakataka Rock Slide vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 78-93 (23.4 - 27.9%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Stealth Rock
Which means a Choice Band Gyro Ball is practically everything it will ever need.
It gets both STABs (including Photon Geyser which will be useful as an inverted Psystrike) and EdgeQuake which is still decent. Ultra also gets Outrage. It has a shallow movepool, but what it has offers pretty good coverage.
Since Laser Focus only causes the next move to crit, Focus Energy + Scope Lens is still better if you ask me.
Wait, did I miss something? What was the method of obtaining ultra Necrozma?
It is assumed that you will have to use regular necrozma, use its signature Z move, which will transform him into ultra Necrozma
Regular meaning standard SM Necrozma or DW/DM Necrozma? Just to be clear, this is a strictly in-battle form?
We know for sure that you need to be Necrozma fused with Solgaleo or Lunala to go Ultra, and I think it's looking likely that you simply have to hold the item, like Primals. You then have the option of using the Z-move afterwards -- the transformation is mentioned in the description of the item, not in the description of the Z-move.
That's what Compound Eyes are for (thank god)
Based on that, whatever moves you can get your DM/DW Necro to have will transfer over soo...
It's clearly using its tail.
Ok, what about de 99% rest of the tier? Just because X pokemon resist Y pokemon doesn’t mean anything. Shedinja walls both acording to your logic.
170 Atk boosted expert belt boosted life orb SE hit against anything is still nuts regardless the BP of the move, and Ultra Necrozma has enough moves and stats to break past the mentioned, like Stone Edge and EQ.
Found the Ultra Sun ones and idk if it was already posted here, sorry if so

Pedantic correction: Ultra Necrozma doesn't have free use of items -- it has to have its Z-Crystal.
