Where to catch them

How to catch every Ultra Beast in Sword & Shield

How to unlock the Ultra Beasts

When: Finish the other three Legendary Clue quests, then pick up the item by the door of Peony's base and show it to him at the Max Lair

Run Dynamax Adventures, where an Ultra Beast can now turn up at random, just like the legendaries
Talk to Peonia after each adventure: now and then she offers a path to a legendary for 5 Dynite Ore
If one gets away, select its path again to retry

Showing Peony a Necrozma caught in a Dynamax Adventure earns you a Beast Ball and an Ability Patch
