Naganadel (Japanese: アーゴヨン, Hepburn: Aagoyon) (codenamed UB Stinger) is a Poison/Dragon-type Pokémon from Generation VII. It is one of the Ultra Beasts introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
Biology
Naganadel's main stinger can eject a powerful, adhesive, and luminescent poison at a distance of over six miles. The abdomen contains hundreds of liters of this poison, as well as the Ultra Beast's brain. The stingers on its abdomen are directly connected to its brain, and it will react with violence if they are touched by anyone.[1]
Physiology
Naganadel is a large purple striped Pokémon that has both draconic and insectoid features. The top half of its body is slender with thin arms and fuchsia tipped claws. Both shoulders have grey spikes. Naganadel possess purple draconic wings, which it uses to fly. These wings have a single fuchsia claw at the joint and darker purple membranes. At the end of its long neck is its head, which has a large spiked crest and grey face spikes which act as mandibles when it opens its mouth. Its glowing cyan eyes are conjoined, giving the appearance of a visor. The lower half of its body is an abdomen that resembles a wasp's abdomen. There are three grey spikes on the end of the abdomen, with the middle one being the largest and resembling a hypodermic needle or a wasp's stinger.
Evolution
Naganadel evolves from Poipole after learning Dragon Pulse.

Appearances
Anime
Naganadel in the anime.
In the anime, Naganadel appears as a leader of the pack of Poipole, also one of them who lives in its homeland.
Ash's Naganadel
Ash's Poipole evolve into a Naganadel and return to Ash to help him battle against the Guzzlord at the Manalo Conference in SM140.
Trivia
- Naganadel is the first known Ultra Beast to have an evolutionary line.
- Naganadel shares its species with Nidoran, both being the Poison Pin Pokémon.
- A mistake was made in the trailer for Naganadel where it was shown being sent out in a Beast Ball. This is not possible since its pre-evolution, Poipole, is only obtainable in a normal Poké Ball.
- Naganadel and Dragalge share some similarities:
- They are both the only Poison/Dragon.
- They are both the final evolution of a two-part evolutionary line.
- They both can learn Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Gunk Shot, Iron Tail, Outrage, Shock Wave and Snore through move tutor.
Origin
Naganadel is based off of a dragon. It also resembles insects such as bees, wasps and tarantula hawks.
Etymology
Naganadel comes from Nāga (an ancient snake/cobra that spit dangerous poison, as well as an Indonesian/Malaysian name for dragon) and Nadel (German for needle).
Its Japanese name, Agoyon, is a mix of 顎 ago (jaw), ago (Italian for needle), dragon and 용 yong (Korean for dragon).
