you people continue to forget the rightfully justified bond phenomenon/"synchro" speculation that's ongoing and often claimed to be debunked
but it ain't over until release day
there are two instances in trailers where the z move symbol appears on the trainer after they do a certain pose and not on the Pokémon itself, before an odd cutaway in those instances, but it helps support the speculation
anyway
the ultra beasts adopt some physical and perhaps personality characteristics of the 3 blonde characters we can link them to the most
ash greninja does that too (not by much, but neither do they), yet it's still a separate entity as we see ash controlling it in battles
there's a catch that ash feels the pain and can even pass out in that state, but greninja seems to be able to mimic the motions of ash (hello UB-01 description??!)
we can draw an easy conclusion at this point:
yes, ultra beasts in their current form are boss fights and not catchable
but what if it's simply the result an extreme form of a currently unknown mechanic that has long been proposed
character x unknown (maybe legendary?) pokemon undergo unexplained transformation merging them into one and for the convenience of plot, said character and/or Pokémon have little to no awareness of this and perhaps enter a rampage of some nature, resulting in a face off against a totem pokemon-esque boss fight
easy crisis right there guys
the unknown pokemon in question likely can be caught post game where you could pull a controlled version of this off because reasons (see: primals) enjoy your ultra beast (mode)
the catch is it faints and you auto lose like synchro is speculated to do based on ash if greninja faints
one final hail mary in a battle seems to be a growing trend after all (Z moves, megas to an extent)
we've also seen a variant of megas (Primal Reversion) so this isn't that crazy
since when has pokemon had complicated explanations to simple stuff
aliens disguised as humans, really
the writing is on the wall and time is winding down to drop the synchro bomb. WAKE UP SHEEPLE

They actually have 20 types. All the standard ones plus ??? and Bird. Better print out your type chart.

Just noticed something about the Ultra Beasts, they don't have cries. Every other Pokemon has had a cry when revealed but these things don't.
In the video the short clip we got when they made their entrance had them in a "cry" stance. Probably don't want to spoil them for some reason.

Probably because it's the anguished scream of a human trapped inside and stretched to fill the non-verbal Pokémon's lifeless body. Gotta keep that E rating.

They're powerful beasts in a game where you catch and train hundreds of powerful beasts.
It's hardly bending. Kinda leaning.

It is, prefer the Moon legendary, but I like the Sun UB-02 and I prefer the time following my 3ds clock. I could fiddle with my system time but I also play New Leaf still so...

UB-01 has one though.

Normally you catch powerful monsters though

Normally, but then we have cases like BW Kyurem.
So I heard that they posted the trailer late.
Anyway from the trailer Sun and Moon story is shaping to be really good and I can't wait to sink my teeth into and enjoy it.
Also I don't think that the Ultra Beast are Pokémon or catchable as the trailer showed them appearing from a wormhole and compare to other Pokémon from outer space they look nothing like them.
Not always, you couldn't capture Black/White Kyurem you had to defeat it and then catch both Kyurem, Reshiram/Zekrom and then fuse them which was done post game.

I thought it would be fun to make move sets for when you inevitably battle the ultra beasts.

You cannot grasp the true form of UB-01's attack!

Wait, are you saying we get to catch Lusamine?

Doesn't most evidence point to exactly the opposite? "Threat to humans and Pokémon," not in the Pokémon section of the site, looking like characters...?

"I am Lusamiiiine!"
Backed up by sounds of pain?
Pretty sure I saw some fanart of that.
Not exactly as technically they have done this before past mascot legendary such as Groudon, Kyogre, Dialga, Palkia and Giratina where left unchecked they would become a threat to both human and Pokémon.
Also stepping into the animé territory Mewtwo in the first movie was a threat to both human and Pokémon as he planned to wipe them both out.
And yes I am aware that Mewtwo in the animé is different from the game but I am just using it as a possible example should Game Freak take that route and have it that the Ultra beast are Pokémon from another universe one where they have evolved to the highest level that surpasses both Pokémon and Human.
Thing about the Ultra Beasts is, if they're not actually Pokemon, they don't have to be limited to four moves or one ability. For all we know, they could have multiple abilities and more than four moves, like a boss in a typical JRPG.

Yeah posted on the previous page. Or just check your favorite Pokémon fan site.
I hope they have some crazy FF final boss-esque moves.

I feel like the UB are humans transformed into Pokemon-like beings made to defeat dangerous legendaries powerful enough to destroy the world.

They could even have broken ass stats [compared to typical Pokemon] meant to be a threat to your collective team of six.

This is what I'm hoping for. I would LOVE to see these things have a shit ton of HP, a set of some basic moves typical of your average Pokémon battle but also special moves; maybe an ultra powerful attack that it can use once a meter is maxed out (hidden or otherwise). Imagine if they could change type as well and you had to regularly swap out your Pokémon to adjust to the change.
I doubt we'll get that. Even if they're not capturable (which I hope is the case), I reckon they'll still act like a Pokémon in battle. But it's fun to wonder.

They get to use unlimited Z-moves. That would actually be a very hard battle.
Lol, where do you think Z-moves come from?
Boss Doggie

they'll probably be no different than those poke-star special bosses
The Aether Foundation is up to some weird shit, experimenting with alchemy and trying to replicate Arceus (Type: Null) or experimenting with otherworldly beings that may or may not masquerade as blond/e, green-eyed humans.
I do not endorse the contents of this post in any significant manner.

You start with Kukui and Hala introducing you Alola. You have the opening battle with Hau and Lilly expresses her discontent with the whole tradition shortly afterward. She runs off, you chase her and run into Team Skull. They cause trouble and cause everyone to rally against them. When you defeat them, you find out about the Aether Foundation. They explain how they exist to help the world and fight against Team Skull. Then you meet the first UB and shit goes crazy. Then you meet Gladion with Type Null and he explains the truth about Aether Foundation and the UBs. You team up with Skulls to bring down Aether Foundation.
I think thats the general story. Mix in the Trials with some hunting for certain items and Mons, and optional expanded areas with PokeRide, and I think this overworld might be pretty varied.
Only thing is we see Hala and Tapu Koko fighting a UB. I can't seem to place if this is after the trials or later in the game.
Go to Joe's site.
So Pokémon can't be threats to Pokémon?
Looking like characters isn't enough for me.

I'd accept that, but I honestly want them to have unique moves and abilities that make the fights against them interesting.
If they're going to be RPG bosses, then make them RPG bosses, knowhutimean?

The wording of that statement suggests the Ultra Beasts are a new entity. The flavour text on the website could not make it clearer. It tells us that "mysterious creatures known as Ultra Beasts" threaten humans and Pokemon alike. Whether their appearance is similar to characters or not makes no difference.

??? hasn't actually existed since Gen IV. Curse was made Ghost type and pure flying types that use roost become normal now.
Bird is very clearly just a prototype name for Flying.
