One day, when Māmane was out camping with his family, he found a strange metallic object buried in the ground in a bamboo grove. When he dug it up, he found that it resembled a face, and guessed that this might be Kaguya from the folk tale about the "Starship Kaguya".

Ah, more Ultra Guardian stuff eh?

Here's hoping somebody other than Ash gets to do something with it preferably one of the girls

So Celesteela's debut. Wonder what comical method Ash and co will use to catch and release it, and who all will be in the background.

So Celesteela will appear here. The heaviest known Pokémon is going to pull some weight here. Maybe Ash will catch it and then send it home to the Ultra Space, just like they did with Buzzwole.

EDIT: Actually, I agree with Golden_Latias. Let someone else take action on the Ultra Beast instead of Ash.

About time we got another one. At this rate, we get an UG episode every 2 months. Since Celesteela is a Steel/Flying type, i hope Kiawe/Sophocles gets something too do here.

It would be nice if this UB can stick for some episodes rather than becoming PoTD

I'm slightly surprised that they jumped straight to UB 04 (Celesteela), instead of going in sequence after Buzzwole, such as UB 02 (Pheromosa), or UB 03 (Xurkitree).

Well another Ultra Guardians episode as it seems. Given that Celesteela is huge and heavy, there could be some hilarious scenes when everyone tries to lift Celesteela. I'm strongly expecting that it will be caught by Ash and then released.

That depends if they know the location of the Ultra Wormhole it came from and if not it's another Poipole situation.

That looks interesting. I wonder if they will make Celesteela an actual threat in the show.

It's a huge flying Pokemon whose two arms can release huge amounts of energy that can cause forest fires without trying so I'll say yes there's a good chance of it being an actual threat.

Yeah I'm also relying on its Pokedex entry too since they did the same with Buzzwole.

One thing, don't expect anything serious in SM Saga.

This is SM Saga, don't expect to see something like a serious forest fire or such (like the one we had in DP in one of Hunter J's episode). The writers would most likely make a joke out of Celesteela one way or another (along with making Ash look like a butt-monkey again).

Let someone else take action on the Ultra Beast instead of Ash.

Well technically, against Buzzwole it was Kiawe who took action against it. Though Ash and Pikachu were the ones who had a short battle and captured it.

Most likely it would be a repeat of what happened against Buzzwole, with Ash and Pikachu having a short battle against Celesteela (to show-off its strength and make Ash look like a joke), while it would be Sophocles who would distract it long enough for Ash to capture it (i believe that Ash would play the role of 'Capturer' for the Ultra Guardian's, and this would also allow the writers to extend the time until he gets his 6th Pokemon for SM Saga, in-short until all the UB's have been showcased and sent back to their own world, Ash won't get his next capture, probably).

Ah, so more Ultra Guardian stuff! About time some exciting action took place. I really hope that they don't follow the same comical way of dealing with Celesteela like they did with Buzzwole. Capturing the UB after defeating/subduing it in an exciting battle is the conventional method and way better.

This series can take itself seriously when it wants to, or Stoutland's death would have never happened in this saga. Lillie's trauma wasn't exactly played for laughs, either.

Anyway, I feel like Sophocles will play a bigger role against Xurkitree tbh since both of his Pokemon resist Electric type moves, but again, I'd rather see one of the girls step up to battle it. It's about time one of them actually did something other than stand around in the background and watch.

Yay, finally more plot episodes. I'm gonna guess Celesteela wants to put on a show and only gets mad/attacks people when they interrupt it's performance. Gonna guess it'll end with Ash and the gang watching it perform and then catching and releasing it.

It seems they'll be alternating Sun exclusive and Moon exclusive UBs based on this. I doubt it'll happen, but what if Celesteela wants to stay?

Oh good, more Ultra Guardian stuff! It's good to see another plot-relevant episode. I hope the girls get to do more this time, rather than Ash or one of the boys stealing all the glory like they did with Buzzwole. I still expect Ash to be the one to throw the Beast Ball, but I hope one of the girls is the one who subdues Celesteela.

Speaking of Celesteela, I hope the writers take into account its Pokédex entry and make it a legitimate threat. SM has been quite serious at times (e.g., Stoutland's death, Lillie's trauma), so I hope that the writers take Celesteela seriously, too.
