Po Town debuted in Flash and Cosmog's Secret. Gladion traveled there after being made a Team Skull Enforcer by Guzma. Shortly after arriving, Gladion was attacked by Plumeria and a group of s, who wanted to see if he was skilled enough for the job. Though Gladion proved himself during the battle, his negative attitude angered Plumeria to the point where she refused to accept him as a true member of Team Skull. When Plumeria told Gladion to follow her, Gladion complied, but was momentarily distracted when a jumped past him.
In A Raid and Po Town, Ilima, Lana, Kiawe, Mallow, Acerola, and Hau arrived in Po Town to have a talk with Team Skull. Guzma, appearing on the Shady House's balcony, seemed amused by the suggestion, and accepted the offer to talk, if the group could get into the house first. At that moment, the Trial Captains and Hau found themselves surrounded by a group of Ultra Beasts.
The Ultra Beasts proceeded to easily best their opponents, but when Guzma noticed that the Captains' Pokémon were still hanging on, he revealed a that he had in his possession and had it open more Ultra Wormholes to summon more UBs. The group was saved by Gladion, who used his to fight the Ultra Beasts, which it did with ease due to its status as a Pokémon specifically created to fight them. He demanded Guzma to tell him who had given him the Cosmog, but Guzma refused to answer. Afterward, Guzma was kidnapped by a , which dragged him into an Ultra Wormhole with it. The other UBs subsequently broke out of Po Town's barrier, proceeding to cause havoc on the rest of Ula'ula.
While the Captains and Gladion headed out to help the people of Ula'ula and stop the Ultra Beasts, and , who had followed the Captains to Po Town, stayed behind to collect Zygarde Cells. The two were soon approached by and Anabel from the International Police, who wanted to ask them questions regarding the Ultra Beasts. After they had agreed to pay Sun six million yen for his information, he told them everything about the Ultra Beasts he saw. Not much after Anabel had sent Looker out to identify and locate the Ultra Beasts, the three s were attacked by a . Their attempt at it failed, but they were saved by the appearance of , who . While Sun completed his job of delivering a Mirage Berry to Tapu Bulu, Anabel thought about a certain man hiding somewhere in Alola, who could be able to create a Poké Ball capable of catching Ultra Beasts.
