'Pokémon Sun and Moon' Guide: All Ultra Beasts Locations

Our brand new Pokémon journey is now in full swing in "Pokémon Sun and Moon"! There are tons of new Pokémon to meet and a new area to explore. New to the game are the powerful Ultra Beasts, who will wreak havoc in Alola.

Here are all the Ultra Beasts in "Pokémon Sun and Moon," and where to find them. (Sorry, we couldn't resist the pun.)

What Are Ultra Beasts?

The Ultra Beasts make their debut appearance in "Pokémon Sun and Moon." These powerful creatures will appear in the game after completing the main story. You will be tasked to stop these monsters, and here are some foolproof tricks to take them down.

How To Catch Ultra Beasts

These Ultra Beasts can only be caught using the Beast Balls Wicke has given you.

Remember that these Ultra Beasts are called "Ultra" for a reason, and they are no pushovers. The first Ultra Beast you will encounter will start at level 55, and succeeding Ultra Beasts will be five levels higher than the previous incident, so make sure you bring your best Pokémon team along.

Ultra Beasts have a unique passive skill called Beast Boost, which increases the Ultra Beast's best stat every time a Pokémon is knocked out by them. Needless to say, the longer the battle, the more powerful they become, so be careful.

The best trick we have seen so far is to use any ability-changing move on the Ultra Beast (Entrainment, Simple Beam), during your first turn.

As with a normal Pokémon, you would have to reduce the Ultra Beasts' health until you can catch them.
