The distances of space are so vast that even a Pidgeot or Ninjask has no hope of reaching the nearest exoplanet in a single lifetime, and even the Elgyem have yet to explore beyond the Milky Way Galaxy. Were it not for Solgaleo, the Ultra Beasts, for better or worse, would never have entered our world. Solgaleo, admittedly, is not unique in creating wormholes; Hoopa's rings work on remarkably similar principles. But Hoopa is a pokemon born on earth, who grants primarily the wishes of earthlings; it would never think to summon the most fascinating and powerful beasts from beyond the stars. Solgaleo, conversely, thinks nothing of bringing them here, whatever the consequences.
There are those who deny Solgaleo's volition in creating the Ultra Wormholes and the Ultra Road; a few scientists have suggested that, with a black hole at its center, its very existence is responsible. Yet were that truly the case, one wonders why the Ultra Beasts would all be extremely powerful creatures, or why they would all come from the same distant galaxy, noted for its flickering and dying stars. It should be noted, however, that the one Solgaleo presently known on this planet will gladly battle any Ultra Beast that troubles humanity. But whether this is because Nebby feels guilty for said problems, or simply because it summoned them to fight powerful opponents, is still an open question.
The telescopes at Hokulani observatory remain pointed at the Ultra Beasts' home galaxy, although some have questioned their relevance in an era when one need not look to the stars to learn about these strange pokemon. The rate of stellar death observed therein gives a disturbing amount of evidence to the apocalyptic cults which associate Solgaleo with the end of the world: the beast who devours the Sun!
