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. To top it off, this time they are not Shiny Locked so you can now get Shiny Ultra Beasts

First Encounter: #793 Nihilego

Location: Aether Foundation

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.

After this encounter, in addition to battling Poipole, the one owned by the Ultra Recond Squad, you then see Ultra Beasts again when Lusamine forces Cosmog to create an Ultra Wormhole. This causes Ultra Wormholes to open up across the Alola Region, notably seen with Blacephalon/Stakataka appearing and facing off against Tapu Koko, Buzzwole/Pheromosa facing off against Olivia, Guzzlord appearing in front of Nanu and Xurkitree appearing by Hapu.
