The Distortion World is said to be another universe or world parallel to the [[Pokémon world]]. The [[Turnback Cave]] is an area where the distortion and normal world connects. However, Giratina can open a gateway anywhere, with the drawback of he can only appear as a shadow when he does, and it is extremely bad for both world's health. He once did this at the summit of Mt. Coronet.

More of the {{wp|3D computer graphics|3D}} capabilities of the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] are utilized in the Distortion World than elsewhere in [[Sinnoh]]. It is a dark place with platforms floating at many different angles. The world disobeys the normal {{wp|laws of physics}}, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}: [[time]] is said to not flow and spatial relations are shown to be irregular, allowing the {{player}} to walk and {{m|Surf}} on walls in any direction. Trees and rocks can simply grow out of the ground and then disappear. The player is able to go up a waterfall without having the move {{m|Waterfall}} or the {{badge|Beacon}}. This is possibly due to the fact that gravity is not normal in this world; therefore, no extra effort is needed by the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to climb the waterfall. Also, given how the player appears to be "surfing" on the waterfall's surface, it may be that the waterfall isn't being "climbed" at all. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Distortion World is {{p|Giratina}}.
