Pokédex entries
| Sun | This Ultra Beast came from the Ultra Wormhole. It seems not to attack enemies on its own, but its sharp body is a dangerous weapon in itself. |
|---|---|
| Moon | One of the Ultra Beast life-forms, it was observed cutting down a gigantic steel tower with one stroke of its blade. |
| Ultra Sun | This Ultra Beast’s body, which is as thin as paper, is like a sharpened sword. |
| Ultra Moon | Although it’s alien to this world and a danger here, it’s apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives. |
