Kartana (Japanese: カミツルギ, Hepburn: Kamitsurugi) is a Grass/Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It is one of the two UB-04, the other being Celesteela. It is exclusive to Pokémon Sun.
Biology
Anatomy
Kartana is probably based off of a paper katana, namely Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, a mythical sword in Japanese mythology. Either way, it is a very likely to be a type of origami.
Natural abilities
While Kartana may be regarded as tiny and not powerful, however, it is highly dangerous due to the fact that it could cut anything due to being infinitely sharp and thin. This has been displayed in and incident in which a Kartana cut down a steel tower with one stroke, probably without effort.
Evolution
Kartana doesn't evolve.
