Ultra Beasts are a group of extra-dimensional Pokémon originating from Ultra Space. They cannot be obtained by catching them in the wild nor hatching from Eggs. The most common method to capture Ultra Beasts is the same as Legendary Pokémon: defeating them in Raid Battle and then catching them in the Bonus Challenge. Ultra Beasts can also be traded in a Special Trade. Ultra Beasts appear from Ultra Wormholes in raids.
