Ultra Beast Missions Walkthrough
Following the events at Aether Paradise, you will gain access to missions involving Ultra Beasts. These are powerful interdimensional Pokémon that pose a significant threat to the Alola region. The Ultra Beast missions are typically undertaken after completing the main story, often with the help of Professor Lusamine and the Aether Foundation.
These missions involve traveling to various locations within Alola and sometimes even to other dimensions via Ultra Wormholes. Your objective is to track down and capture specific Ultra Beasts that have appeared in the region.
- Preparation is Key: Before embarking on Ultra Beast missions, ensure your Pokémon are at a high level. Ultra Beasts are notoriously strong and have unique abilities. Stock up on Ultra Balls, Timer Balls, and any other specialized Poké Balls that might be effective.
- Locating Ultra Beasts: The game will provide clues or direct you to the general areas where Ultra Beasts have been sighted. These can range from specific routes and caves to even the Ultra Recon Squad's home dimension.
- Battle Strategies: Each Ultra Beast has distinct typings and move sets. For example, Nihilego is Rock/Poison and is weak to Ground, Steel, and Water-type attacks. Guzzlord is Dark/Dragon and is weak to Fairy, Ice, Dragon, and Fighting-type attacks. Researching their weaknesses is crucial for a successful capture.
- The Ultra Recon Squad: In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Ultra Recon Squad plays a more active role, assisting you in these missions and providing valuable information about the Ultra Beasts and their homeworlds.
Completing these missions not only strengthens your team but also provides valuable lore and unlocks access to powerful legendary Pokémon. Be prepared for challenging battles and a significant test of your trainer skills.
