The Ultra Beasts

A rather minor element of Pokémon Sun and Moon, the Ultra Beasts finally take center stage in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, where they are at the heart of the story.

Ultra Beasts are extremely powerful creatures from worlds parallel to the player’s. They all share the Ability Beast Boost, which raises their highest stat by one stage if the UB knocks out another Pokémon during its turn.

The Ultra Beasts introduced in USUM

Blacephalon and Stakataka

Blacephalon, also known as UB Burst, the Fireworks Pokémon, is the first Ultra Beast revealed for USUM. A Fire/Ghost type measuring 1.8 m and weighing 13 kg, it is exclusive to Ultra Sun. This UB has a very slender, colorful body reminiscent of a clown, with a head that can be detached from the rest of its body. To attack, it strings together theatrical gestures to throw its opponent off balance, then takes advantage of their distraction to strike. It also has a brand-new move that only it can learn: Mind Blown. It is a Fire-type move that sacrifices half of the user’s HP to deal heavy damage.

As for Stakataka, also known as UB Assembly, the Rampart Pokémon, it was revealed in the same trailer as Blacephalon. A Rock/Steel type measuring 5.5 m and weighing 820 kg, it is exclusive to Ultra Moon. Its body is made up of a pile of bricks, including its four legs. It therefore looks like a single building, but each of its bricks is said to have a will of its own, and many of them have eyes that turn red when Stakataka is in a bad mood.

In their respective versions, these two Ultra Beasts can each be caught twice (with Hau catching the third one) in Poni Grove, at the Ultra Recon Squad’s urging, after beating the Pokémon League.

Poipole and Naganadel

Poipole, also known as UB Adhesive, the Poison Pin Pokémon, was revealed in a trailer on October 5, 2017. A Poison type (which makes it the only UB with a single type besides Xurkitree), it measures 60 cm and weighs 1.8 kg. It has a rounded body, though it is equipped with three sharp stingers, one of them on top of its head. It is very expressive and is said to be able to understand human language if it spends time with people. It is unique in being the only UB that can evolve, into a Pokémon called Naganadel, or UB Stinger, by learning the move Dragon Pulse from the Move Tutor.

In the game, Poipole is used several times by the Ultra Recon Squad in battles against the player. The members in Ultra Megalopolis end up giving you this Pokémon after you defeat Ultra Necrozma at the top of the tower.

The other Ultra Beasts

Some of the Ultra Beasts introduced in Sun and Moon appear in the story and can then be found again in the Ultra Wormhole. To do so, you need to aim for the white portals, the only ones that give access to the worlds where these creatures roam. Some are rarer than others: Celesteela, Kartana and Guzzlord in particular are especially hard to find.

One notable fact, however: while each trip into an Ultra Space world only lets you catch one Ultra Beast, you can go back again and again to catch as many of them as you like.

• Nihilego (Ultra Deep Sea). To make it appear, go to the back of the area and sit on the stone.
• Buzzwole (Ultra Jungle). Climb the vines and branches to the top.
• Pheromosa (Ultra Desert). Solve a few puzzles with the Machamp ride to reach it.
• Xurkitree (Ultra Plant). Go to the last platform so that lightning awakens one.
• Kartana (Ultra Forest). You have to battle two “Kata-Sensei” (on your first visit only), each owning a Kartana, to reach the Pokémon that can be caught.
• Celesteela (Ultra Crater). You just need to get past a few craters to reach this UB.
• Guzzlord (Ultra Ruin). Reaching Guzzlord in these ruins of Hau’oli City means constantly going along the right and left sides of the area, through a maze of stairs and corridors.

Ultra Balls are always available to catch them: they are either given to you by allies or can be bought at the Aether Foundation’s reception desk for 1,000 Poké Dollars each.
