Earlier this week we had the traditional CoroCoro magazine leaks that included new details around Pokémon Sun and Moon. Now there are official trailers to show off two of the Ultra Beasts that were shown; so, as always, only read on if you want to see them.
Sun and Moon will have different 'UB-02' Ultra Beasts - in Sun it'll be Absorption, and in Moon it'll be 'Beauty'. You can see the trailer showing these off below, along with some text from the official website.
The Ultra Beast known as UB-02 Absorption appears in Pokémon Sun, and the extent of its strength is unknown. Its entire body is covered with bulging, powerful muscles. The full force of a punch powered by these muscles would be off the charts! Its distinctively long mouth is said to be harder than diamonds. Could the Ultra Beast also use it to attack?
The Ultra Beast with the codename UB-02 Beauty appears in Pokémon Moon. What kind of power does it possess? Its narrow, graceful legs allow it to accelerate with such explosive speed that people claim it can dodge lightning! It is said that any Pokémon that sees UB-02 Beauty, regardless of its own gender, will become infatuated with it and lose the will to battle. The exact reason for this reaction—whether it's an unidentified pheromone exuded by UB-02 Beauty or a hypnotic effect induced by its appearance—has not been determined.
The next batch of Pokémon information is expected on 20th September at 6am Pacific / 9am Eastern / 2pm UK / 3pm CET.
So, what do you think of these Ultra Beasts? Let us know in the comments.

These UBs are starting to sound like SCPs.
Are Ultra Beasts pokemon?
If they are, is this a new type or what? So many new things I'm getting confused.
Mandatory 'waiting for UB-40' comment, so you don't have to.
Aside from that, I don't know what to think of these. When we find out what actual role they play and, you know, what they are, then I can judge.
A Yes and a No for me for these Ultra-beasts!?
Once this month is over I'm not going to read any more news about these games. I want some things to be a mystery.
They're both quite insectoid.
If this is all the news that they announce today then I'm actually slightly disappointed. They made it sound like it was going to be another minor reveal, however all of this was leaked through Coro Coro already. Even if it was just a couple of new screenshots of other Pokemon already revealed, I would be happy.
The muscular insect guy reminds me of a Skylander I own. One of these Giants, I think. Imo, Beauty looks way better. Still don't know which I should play first, though.
@hylian1996 Ultra Beasts are not Pokemon, they are mysterious creatures seen in the Alola Region that are important to the plot but they are NOT Pokemon.
UB-02 Beauty reminds me of someone...
Not really feeling these Ultra Beasts...
A cute charm that works regardless of gender? Pokemon is so progressive.
@Arcamenel Whether or not you were joking, I think it's just that it's more OP that way. Actually, if this means it also hits genderless Pokémon, this thing could be incredibly annoying to face in battle!
I still think the UBs are the Aether Foundation guys? Either that or clones of them (so as to explain away the weirdness of catching humans). No way could they just look like them and not be connected.
Also, Buff Mosquito is the hero Pokémon deserves.
@World "Buff Mosquito" eh? Maybe he'll team up with
@Ed_Fairway Yessssssss!
Also, my user icon has never felt more appropriate.
@LordGeovanni they assume no1 reads korokoro outside of where it is distributed.
September 20th info will hopefully give us Lugarugan type info and clarity on how rockruff's evolution works. Starter first evolutions too.
I seem to be in the minority here, but I actually like Absorption's appearance a bit better. Their names seem to imply that there's a relation to them somehow.
@Tyranexx Nah, Buff Mosquito is the best. I'd consider getting Sun (even though I was getting Moon) just for it, but there's no guarantee it'll even be catchable.
Well, UB-02 Beauty isn't that beautiful, but I guess if you use cartoon logic then mosquitoes "absorb" blood? Maybe?
Ultra Beast "Spoilers"?

I wanted to put the link behind spoiler formatting but for some reason it doesn't work for me.
Gee thanks CoroCoro. Totally took the surprise factor out of this one for us. Nice trailer though.
UB-03 - Deoxys
Dear God... so many new features/gimmicks in this game. Sounds like the team has many different ideas and the head developer just can't say no. This game may not have a traditional Pokemon League, but it's gonna have a whole lot of other crazy stuff.
Like many above I'm going to stop following this drip feed of new info. Not because I don't like spoilers, but because this is getting very hard to follow.
I mean, strange beasts that aren't actually Poke'mon? What?!
A battle between UB-02 and Tapu Koko?!?! This game is going to be epic!
@Rhydas Why would you blame Corocoro? It doesn't come out until tomorrow.
If you want to blame somebody, blame the people who leak Corocoro every month.
@Tyranexx I could go either way. Besides, already preordered Moon, so no turning back. By the by, which version did you choose?
@World Glad to make that happen for ya
With as much as they keep revealing to us, and knowing that they don't want to give EVERYTHING away, it gives me the hope that this game is going to be absolutely massive.
So it was the Beauty Ultra Beast that killed the... wait...
I hope they leak the whole plot. I don't play for that.
The graphics look terrible Pokemon Stadium looks 10x better although the N64 was a very powerful machine 3x more powerful than the original Playstation with the 3DS supposedly being on par with the Psp if not slightly better I expected better graphics than this.
@World: Heh, maybe. Other than the obvious bloodsucking reference, I'm assuming that Absorption can take hits pretty well.
@Ed_Fairway: I haven't chosen a version yet, but I'm leaning towards Sun. Normally I like one cover legendary over the other, but it's a tough call this time. I may wait until the games release so that I can at least learn about all the exclusives in each; I should have done the same with OR/AS, as Alpha Sapphire had more of my favorites. (Though battling Team Magma is refreshing after you've been battling endless water Pokemon for a while)
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy I blame them just as much. It's just that it took the 'oomph' out of that reveal trailer. It just wasn't as exciting as it could have been, because we'd already been leaked the information.
Wow that trailer was short!
Excited nevertheless...
@wizzgamer You're joking, right?
Huh, a Mosquito and a Copepod. I NEVER would have pegged a Mosquito for muscles or a Copepod for beauty, but whatever works. Both look sufficiently alien, so I hope they go farther than the usual "yea, they're really just pokemon" thing.
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy No I'm deadly serious the Pokemon Stadium games on N64 look more realistic if the battles looked at least that good plus added commentary would be awesome!
@Tyranexx For me it's the starters; I always vary the type every generation, no definitive preference. The only exception being Gen 3, for I do liek mudkip.
@SmaMan They are probably human or human related. They may not even be catchable in the games, who knows?
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Or people who seek and read the leaks every month and later blame news sites that they are dissapointed by no exciting news ;D
@wizzgamer 3DS was never as good in graphics department as PSP. 3DS was already technologicaly outdated at the launch time.
It is the 3D effect which makes the images smoother and nicer on 3DS - count that as a weird anti-aliasing - and pokemon almost doesn't use it. Pokemon [main series] sucks from graphical side anyway, but there are nicer looking games on the system as well.
@Ed_Fairway: I normally gravitate towards fire type starters, with the exceptions of Gen 4 and 5. Tepig wasn't bad, but I liked Snivy more. I voluntarily went with Turtwig in Gen 4 as I absolutely loathe Chimchar. Plus, both of their final evos were fire/fighting, and imo Blaziken is so much better.
In any case, the exclusives are what will primarily fuel my decision this time. I can wait to play Sun/Moon since I have plenty of other games to play. XD
@DarkKirby I can see that. Coupled with a similar comparison with UB-01 and Lillie, and Ash-Greninja being a thing, maybe these are the "fused" pokemon things, and why they're not just regular 'ol pokemon.
@Tyranexx Same here, I got xenoblade chronicles on virtual console, and with some smart saving I might get Pandora's Tower. As for Alola starters, I may be putting a target on myself here, but I'm going for Popplio.
@wizzgamer can we say troll you are!!!
@KTT don't hate because 3ds knocked out playstation outta the hand held department
@Slim1999 My comment was neutral in nature. I couldn't care less with 3DS vs PSP tbh. But I like 3DS more, with all its flaws.
I'm okay with the ultra beasts, they're basically legendaries from another dimension. Sounds pretty cool to me.
Ultra Beast Absorption is The Tick's secret evil brother and arch nemesis.
Beauty is a weird, creepy bug woman thing.
Who gets the jellyfish lamp beast? I'd rather have that!
@Ed_Fairway: I'd like to play both of those at some point, but not until I whittle my backlog down a bit. XD I rarely get a game at launch as it's normally available for months after release.
I'm going with either Litten or Rowlett, depending on what their final evolutions are (Which, according to some rumors, may be interesting to wait for).
@Slim1999 No just saying that if a N64 Pokemon game a console released 20 years ago can look better than the 3DS version of Pokemon that that's pretty embarrassing that's why they should have at least created a new Pokemon Stadium type game on Wii U to link your 3DS with to battle your Pokemon in real Polygon 3D.
@Tempestryke Ah the tick, that brings back a few memories. I think Peter Serafinowicz is going to be playing him in the near future, hope all goes well for him.
@Ed_Fairway
Really now? They're revamping The Tick? I wonder who's playing Arthur?
@Tempestryke All I know is that they have the right man for the tick.
