Ultra Beasts

The Ultra Beasts are a classification for a collection of Legendary Pokémon that come from another dimension, and the Aether Foundation want to use one Ultra Beast, Cosmog, to create wormholes to harness the power of Ultra Beasts. Through the game, you will encounter and capture these mysterious Pokémon and when you encounter them, they start with a stat boost due to energy from the Ultra Wormhole.

After this encounter, you then see UB-01 again when Lusamine forces Cosmog to create an Ultra Wormhole. This causes Ultra Wormholes to open up across the Alola Region, notably seen with Buzzwole/Pheromosa appearing and facing off against Tapu Koko. After that, you'll see a group of Nihilego in Ultra Space, where one temporarily merges with Lusamine.

The first Ultra Beast Encounter is with the mysterious UB-01 when you first are in the Aether Foundation. Due to the jamming signal the Aether Foundation has set up, this Pokémon cannot be captured and is at Level 27. Its Defense is boosted.

Hunting Ultra Beasts

International Police

After defeating the league and becoming the first Alola Region champion, you will receive an Enigmatic Card from a mysterious man outside your house requesting to go to the motel in Route 8. Follow the instructions and you will meet Looker and his boss, Anabel. They will request your help to hunt down the Ultra Beasts, as many have managed to get through to the Alola Region and are causing havoc. First, Anabel will challenge you to a battle. After defeating her, she will suggest going to the Aether Foundation to speak with Wicke. Wicke will give you the prototypes of special Beast Balls. These special PokéBalls have a high capture chance when used on the Ultra Beasts, but have a very low capture rate when not used on Ultra Beasts.
