Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Sun | This Ultra Beast appeared from another world. It shows off its body, but whether that display is a boast or a threat remains unclear. |
| Moon | A mysterious life-form called an Ultra Beast. Witnesses saw it pulverize a dump truck with a single punch. |
| Ultra Sun | Although it’s alien to this world and a danger here, it’s apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives. |
| Ultra Moon | Buzzwole goes around showing off its abnormally swollen muscles. It is one kind of Ultra Beast. |

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
