“In the Alola region, rumors are flying about mysterious creatures known as Ultra Beasts. Ultra Beasts possess mighty powers and could pose a threat to humans and Pokémon, so they are feared!”

That is the description of these new, mysterious Ultra Beasts.

Only a few have been announced so far and go under the code names UB-01, UB-02 Absorption, and UB-02 Beauty. Luckily, the Pokemon website states that many other Ultra Beasts exist, which is good, because the ones shown so far don't look too great.

What these beasts mean for the story - and how powerful they are - we still don't know, but the codenames and mystery behind them is pretty engaging, and I for one am eager to see how they tie in.

Rumours say that the Aether Foundation, an ally in the new games, is conducting research on these mysterious beasts, so hopefully the story behind their existence doesn't disappoint.

I like to think of myself as a world traveler and social butterfly, although I do spend a lot of my time watching the latest Japanese anime series, sitcoms, movies, and drama series. I live on the island of Crete, where I was born, and enjoy walking on the beach with my little cocker spaniel, Molly, when I'm not writing for WhatCulture.com and UNILAD.co.uk.
