Beast Balls are ineffective against all of them, like they are for other Pokémon that are not Ultra Beasts.Dulse refers to Necrozma as "a creature almost like an Ultra Beast" in Pokémon Ultra Sun.Necrozma's Pokédex entry also states that it is "reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts", but the International Police reported that all Ultra Beasts it had detected had been caught even while Necrozma was still in the wild.The Aether Foundation has hypothesized Cosmog is also an Ultra Beast, due to its ability to create Ultra Wormholes.The Master Ball is unaffected by this impairment due to its ability to catch any Pokémon without fail, even Ultra Beasts.Īlthough Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma are not Ultra Beasts, they have a strong connection to Ultra Space (including the ability to create Ultra Wormholes) and as a result are often claimed to be or likened to the Ultra Beasts in various media. However, Beast Balls are exceptions due to being Poké Balls specifically designed to catch Ultra Beasts, and they are instead ineffective against Pokémon that are not Ultra Beasts. Most Poké Balls have difficulty recognizing Ultra Beasts as Pokémon due to their extradimensional origins, impairing their ability to effectively catch them. Wicke theorizes that they store this energy in their bodies. When encountered in the wild, the residual energy from Ultra Wormholes manifests as a red aura that boosts one of their stats at the start of battle, similar to a Totem Pokémon's orange aura. Celesteela (codenamed UB-04 Blaster) M UMĪll Ultra Beasts share the Ability Beast Boost.
Pheromosa (codenamed UB-02 Beauty) M UM.Buzzwole (codenamed UB-02 Absorption) S US.There are currently eleven known Ultra Beasts: They are especially drawn to people who have passed through an Ultra Wormhole, due to the residual wormhole energy on them, apparently expecting to find a wormhole they can use to return home. These appearances are apparently as unexpected for the Ultra Beasts as for Alolans, which tends to make them combative. Ultra Beasts infrequently appear from Ultra Wormholes in Alola. They possess power that transcends humans' understanding of the world. The Ultra Beasts (Japanese: ウルトラビースト Ultra Beast) are a group of extradimensional Pokémon originating from Ultra Space.
