...I don't understand. That's not an opinion. It doesn't matter if we don't "agree" lol.

They are common Pokemon just like a Butterfree or an Electabuzz, just from another demension. That's why there are so many Nihilego in the Ultra dimension. The only reason they are so powerful is because of their exposure to the Ultra Wormhole energy. Their natural stats are likely far more modest. It's the same thing that happens to Totem Pokemon and Lusamine. UBs are more powerful because they've been exposed to it longer. Same with Beast Boost. It's an unnatural side effect of extended exposure to the Ultra Wormhole. You know, like how Mega Evolution unnaturally powers up common Pokemon to legendary levels.

None of this is speculation. The game explicitely tells you this. Ultra Beasts aren't legendary Pokemon.

To me, one who doesn't really care about the story and lore, they may aswell be since from a gameplay standpoint they function exactly the same. Only one per game, genderless & unbreedable, guaranteed 3 perfect IVs, really high base stats, etc. Definitely doesn't work the same as Butterfree. 

There are 2 Buzzwole, 4 Pheromosa, 2 Xurkitree, 4 Kartana, 2 Celesteela, and even though you can only catch one, numerous Nihilego are seen. There are legendary Pokemon with genders as well as plenty of normal Pokemon without them. There is a legendary Pokemon that can breed. Every UB but Celesteela have at least 2 stats that are in the 50s or below, and there are numerous normal Pokemon with base stats higher than the Ultra Beasts. (ya kno like megas bro)

Silvally has the same BST as UBs, is genderless, cannot breed, and the player is only given one in the entire game unlike most of the Ultra Beasts. Is Sylvally "from a gameplay standpoint functionally the same" as a legendary? Of course not. Neither are UBs.

You read that entire post and stopped at "like Butterfree." I compare them to Mega Pokemon.
