As such, when {{an|Gladion}}, {{Ash}}, and {{ashcl}} came to save her in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', she instead ran away, releasing her Pokémon enhanced by Nihilego's power as a deterrent. Nihilego also used various other means to deter the children, but in the end was cornered by Ash, Lillie, and Gladion. When Lillie managed to get through to Lusamine, Nihilego interfered, trying to keep Lusamine to itself. In the end, Ash managed to defeat it using {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', allowing Lusamine to separate from it.

Nihilego has been shown to be a very hostile Pokémon, attacking anyone on sight and even kidnapping Lusamine. According to Gladion, Nihilego might have an interest in humans, which is why it fused itself with Lusamine, in an attempt to learn more about them.

Buzzwole was first seen in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', where it appeared through an [[Ultra Wormhole]] at [[Melemele Meadow]]. It was the first Ultra Beast that {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} were tasked to capture and return to its home world as the [[Ultra Guardians]]. Ash eventually succeeded in {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the Buzzwole with a {{ball|Beast}}, allowing it to be returned home through another Ultra Wormhole soon after. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]''.

Buzzwole is shown to enjoy flexing its muscles, as seen in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', where it got itself into a show of muscle with {{an|Kiawe}} and {{Ash}}. This ended up distracting Buzzwole, allowing it to be caught.

Celesteela appeared in ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', where it was found by {{an|Sophocles}} while camping out at the [[Bamboo Hill]]. It actually arrived in Alola approximately 200 years ago in what was believed to be a naturally appearing Ultra Wormhole, and was stuck in the ground ever since, passively absorbing energy for a take off. After it was dug up, Celesteela was discovered by Lusamine's group, who told the Ultra Guardians to go out and catch it. Their attempts to catch it failed, as Celesteela was too deeply rooted to the ground at the time. When they discovered that Celesteela was preparing to take off, the Ultra Guardians realized that the flames produced when it flies would set the surrounding area ablaze. Using their Ride Pokémon, the Ultra Guardians were able to construct a defensive barrier, allowing Celesteela to safely blast off and return back to its home.

Celesteela is shown to be determined, as seen in ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'' where it prepared to blast off home despite the Ultra Guardians' requests for it to wait until they can form a protective barrier around it.

The next day, they learned that it was actually an Ultra Beast and set out to catch it. Blacephalon appeared just as {{an|Kiawe}} was about to catch {{p|Xurkitree}} and began to have a performance battle with it, preventing the Ultra Guardians from catching it. With the Ultra Guardians' Pokémon providing a distraction and [[Ash's Lycanroc]] weakening Blacephalon with {{m|Splintered Stormshards}}, {{an|Lillie}} was eventually able to catch it, allowing it to be sent back home.

Blacephalon likes to put on displays, as seen in ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'' where it amazed large crowds of people and later had a competition with Xurkitree to see who could put on the best display.

Xurkitree appeared in Alola one night in ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]''. The next day, the Ultra Guardians were dispatched to catch it, as it was draining electricity from a power line. Just when {{an|Kiawe}} was about to catch it, however, Xurkitree began a performance battle with {{p|Blacephalon}}, preventing the Ultra Guardians from catching it. With the Ultra Guardians' Pokémon providing a distraction and [[Ash's Lycanroc]] weakening Xurkitree with {{m|Splintered Stormshards}}, {{an|Lana}} was eventually able to catch it, allowing it to be sent back home.

Xurkitree likes to put on displays, as seen in ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'' where it had a competition with Xurkitree to see who could put on the best display. Xurkitree is shown to enjoy absorbing electricity.

In [[SM090]], Naganadel helped Necrozma regain its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}} by giving it some of its Z-Power. Once successful, Necrozma turned back into Ultra Necrozma and restored Naganadel's home world to its former glory. As the Ultra Guardians prepared to leave, Naganadel informed Ash that Poipole wished to stay behind and protect its home, much to Ash's sadness.

Stakataka entered Alola through an Ultra Wormhole at the [[Pokémon School]]. The initial attempts by the Ultra Guardians to catch it failed due to it managing to avoid all of their Beast Balls, and during the following night, it moved to a construction site owned by [[Viren]], where it was mistaken for a pedestal for a statue of Viren. Once the statue was placed on top of it, Stakataka became angry and started rampaging around until Ash removed the statue. Stakataka then let itself be caught by Ash upon learning that he wanted to help it get back home. Later, back at the Pokémon School, Stakataka was safely returned to its home dimension through an Ultra Wormhole.

Guzzlord first appeared in [[SM100]], where it attacked {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} in the [[Ultra Ruin]] before {{al|Dia}} and his {{p|Zeraora}} intervened, driving it off. Dia later revealed to Ash that Guzzlord was the cause of the devastation of his home world. In [[SM101]], Ash and Dia sent Guzzlord through an [[Ultra Wormhole]] and back to its home world, with the help of the Shiny Tapu Koko, who made it possible for [[Z-Move]]s to be used again in the Ultra Ruin.

Guzzlord is shown to be a strong Pokémon, managing to stand the attacks of five different Pokémon at once. Guzzlord is also a ruthless Pokémon, attacking people and Pokémon without mercy, and is capable of causing mass destruction. Unlike other Ultra Beasts in the anime, Guzzlord resisted being sent through an Ultra Wormhole; it was either unable to understand its significance, or simply refused to return to its home world.
