[[File:Ultra Burst artwork.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Necrozma}} using Ultra Burst]]
'''Ultra Burst''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラバースト''' ''Ultra Burst'') is a transformation unique to {{p|Necrozma}} which allows it to become '''Ultra Necrozma'''. It was introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the only [[core series]] games to date to feature the transformation, but it also appears in other media such as [[Pokémon Masters EX]].

Necrozma requires an overwhelming amount of light and [[Z-Power]] to undergo Ultra Burst. In the core series, it must be in either Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings form and be holding [[Ultranecrozium Z]] to undergo the transformation.

==In the core series games==
===History===
Ultra Burst is a transformation unique to {{p|Necrozma}}, with Ultra Necrozma being considered the true appearance of Necrozma.

Many years before the events of {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Necrozma took this shape, offering its light to many worlds, including within the [[Alola]] [[region]]. This light became the [[Z-Power]] and aura found in [[Totem Pokémon]] and [[Z-Move]]s. Necrozma was heavily injured by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]]'s ancestors who attempted to steal its light;, transforming it into a black crystalline shape that it is currently known as. It can revert to its true appearance when it has absorbed an overwhelming amount of light energy. It can get this energy from {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}} and by absorbing [[Z-Power]] into its system.

Necrozma had once taken back its light before and performed Ultra Burst before the events of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. In Alola's history, Necrozma had once taken over the light of Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}}, and was asked to be defeated by the king of Alola. During the events of the game, a {{ga|Necrozma}} attempts to steal the light of Alola, taking over the body of [[Nebby]]. In the process, it escaped into [[Ultra Megalopolis]], taking back the light it once claimed as its own and using Nebby's light to use Ultra Burst to turn into Ultra Necrozma. Necrozma appears to have undergone Ultra Burst without the use of an [[Ultranecrozium Z]] in its match against the {{player}}.

===Gameplay===
In order to undergo Ultra Burst, Necrozma needs to be in either its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane}} or {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}} form and hold an [[Ultranecrozium Z]]. Once the conditions are met, the player can select the Ultra Burst button on the [[move]] selection screen in battle in order to activate the transformation. This button appears in the same place as the [[Z-Move]] and [[Mega Evolution]] buttons would. After at least one turn has passed since Ultra Burst was used, Ultra Necrozma may use its [[Signature move|signature]] [[Z-Move]] {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}}, provided it knows the move {{m|Photon Geyser}}.

Ultra Burst may only be activated once per battle, even if the player has multiple Necrozma holding Ultranecrozium Z. If Ultra Necrozma [[Fainting|faints]] in battle, it will revert to its prior form and cannot activate Ultra Burst again for the rest of the [[battle]], even if it is revived.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
[[Sygna suit|Sygna Suit]] {{mas|Lusamine}} is the only [[Pokémon Trainer]] to use Ultra Burst. Unlike {{mas|Mega Evolution}}, Ultra Burst results in a 1.2× multiplier to five stats instead of the usual two when Mega Evolving. Dusk Mane Necrozma becomes Ultra Necrozma once it uses the [[sync move]] Loving {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}}, and it stays like that until the end of the {{pkmn|battle}}.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|Sun and Moon}}====
Ultra Burst was featured in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where {{an|Necrozma}} absorbed enough [[Z-Power#Pokémon the Series|Ultra Aura]] from [[Z-Move]]s and the people of [[Alola]], allowing it regain its original form, Ultra Necrozma.

===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
Ultra Burst was featured in ''[[PASM35|Transcend!! Ultra Necrozma!]]'', where {{adv|Necrozma}} absorbed the [[Ultranecrozium Z]] carried by [[Dulse]], allowing it to transform into Ultra Necrozma.{{-}}

==In the TCG==
[[File:UltraNecrozmaAlterGenesis72.jpg|200px|thumb|right|{{TCG ID|Cosmic Eclipse|Ultra Necrozma|164}} is an Ultra Necrozma. But it doesn't have a state where it is only a Dawn Wings or Dusk Mane Necrozma; as a Basic Pokémon it just enters play from the hand.  Mind the Ultra Burst Ability: even though it can be played at any point it is unable to attack until late in the game.]]
Ultra Burst, as in the act of becoming Ultra Necrozma, is not featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Necrozma is described as changing form and even absorbing another Legendary Pokémon.<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/LATEST-EXPANSION-OF-THE-POKEMON-TRADING-CARD-GAME-SUN-MOONFORBIDDEN-LI press release]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/sun-moon-forbidden-light Pokémon.com Overview]</ref> In the game proper, however, Ultra Necrozma cards are {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} with no special rules relating to the concept of Ultra Burst. 

Ultra Burst is the {{TCG|Ability}} of [[Ultra Necrozma (Cosmic Eclipse 164)]], which does reflect a mid-battle form change by preventing it from {{TCG|attack|attacking}} until the opponent has two or fewer {{TCG|Prize card}}s remaining. This generally reflects a "late in the game" timeframe.

Shining Burst, the attack of [[Ultra Necrozma (SM Promo 165)]], may be related to Ultra Burst.
