The Ultra Guardians embarked on their third mission in Twirling with a Bang!, where they were sent out to catch a and . Their initial attempts to catch them proved unsuccessful when the two Ultra Beasts started a performance battle with each other.

However, they were unable to catch it, as it was able to move its blocks around to avoid all of their Beast Balls, forcing the Ultra Guardians to leave it alone for the night while they came up with a different strategy. During the night, Stakataka moved to Viren's construction site, where he and his henchmen mistook it for a pedestal meant for Viren's statue. When the statue was placed on top of Stakataka, it became furious and started stomping around in an attempt to get the statue off of itself. Eventually, Ash and were able to remove the statue, causing Stakataka to calm down. Ash also managed to convince Stakataka to let him catch it so that they could return it home.

In Filling the Light with Darkness!, mysterious dark clouds appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The next day, the Ultra Guardians embarked on their fifth mission to investigate the situation at the Altar of the Sunne. Shortly after arriving, Lusamine revealed that would be joining them as a new member. In order to disperse the clouds, Ash, Kiawe, Lana, and Gladion combined their Z-Power to fuel a device that successfully made the clouds disappear, but they uncovered a hidden Ultra Wormhole in the process. Afterwards, Lusamine took the Ultra Guardians into the ruins, where she showed them a mural depicting the . Before any attempt to translate the mural could be done, the Ultra Guardians were forced to return outside, where they found the wormhole increasing in size. At that moment, a emerged from the wormhole with a (whose species could not be identified and was called UB Black for the time being) chasing after it.

In The Prism Between Light and Darkness!, the Ultra Guardians and Lunala traveled through an Ultra Wormhole and arrived at Poipole's home world.

With its telepathy, Naganadel revealed to everyone how Necrozma lost its light protecting the world from a meteor, causing everything to become shrouded in darkness. Realizing that Necrozma is the Blinding One spoken of in Alolan legends, the Ultra Guardians decided the best way to free Nebby and restore Poipole's world to its former self was to help Necrozma regain its true form by giving it their Z-Power. After encountering Necrozma again, Ash, Kiawe, Lana, and Gladion fired simultaneous Z-Moves at the Prism Pokémon.
The mission came to an end during Securing the Future!, where they, along with the people and Pokémon of Alola, were able to return Necrozma to its original form. This helped restore Poipole's homeworld in the process. With the Ultra Wormhole about to close, they left, while Poipole decided to remain behind.

The Ultra Guardians set out on another mission in Beauty is Only Crystal Deep!. One night, appeared from an Ultra Wormhole and began stealing Z-Crystals from Trainers. Attempts by the Ultra Guardians to catch it failed, so they and Faba formed a plan to lure Pheromosa in with their Z-Crystals, which would be surrounded by glue. This failed, however, when , who had fallen in love with Pheromosa, stepped on the glue instead, allowing Pheromosa to grab the Z-Crystals without getting stuck. The Ultra Guardians were eventually able to catch and return Pheromosa when it was defeated by .

They attempted to catch Kartana, only for it to slice the Beast Ball into pieces. They were contacted by Lusamine, who warned them of a meteor heading for the Pokémon School, and they attempted to stop it from hitting its target.

==Trivia==
* The Ultra Guardians uniform is a modified version of the Riding Wear.
* The Ultra Guardians share similarities with International Rescue from the 1960s TV series in the sense that they suit up and launch. The scene of moving their heads is also a reference to said series. In addition, their use of "Ultroger" can be a reference to Thunderbirds' saying "F.A.B."
* 's uniform being a different design may be a reference to the long-running / series. Many seasons of the series typically have the main characters joined by a "Sixth Ranger" midway into the series. Sixth Rangers typically have their costume differ in design from the core team to make them more distinct.
