'''Extraterrestrial Pokémon''' is a fan term commonly used to refer to any Pokémon believed to have originated from somewhere outside the [[Pokémon world]]. The term encompasses both Pokémon believed to have arrived from outer space and those that inhabit other [[dimension]]s ("extradimensional" Pokémon). Evidence for extraterrestrial Pokémon can often be found in [[Pokédex]] entries, although these are not the only source of this information.

[[File:Grand Meteor Delta PG.png|thumb|250px|Deoxys's [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteor]]]]
All Pokédex entries regarding this Pokémon explain that it was originally an alien virus that fell to earth in a meteor. Exposure to a laser beam mutated the virus's DNA, resulting in the Pokémon Deoxys. Upon further exposure to meteorites, Deoxys's [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Deoxys|Forme]] will change. Deoxys has four formes, adapted for survivability in the wild, and its specialized formes have some of the highest [[base stats]] of any Pokémon. The crystalline organ on its chest appears to be its brain, a departure from typical terrestrial Pokémon biology. Deoxys are described by the Pokédex as highly intelligent, possessing psychokinetic abilities, and are associated with auroras.

A Deoxys is encountered at the conclusion of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]’s [[Delta Episode]]. After the battle with Zinnia (regardless of its outcome), Zinnia entrusts the player with destroying the approaching meteoroid. The player dons the [[Magma Suit]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Suit]]{{sup/6|AS}} and rides Rayquaza out to space to destroy the meteoroid. When Rayquaza shatters the meteoroid, however, a triangular object emerges from the middle of the debris. After a moment of darting around, tendrils snake out of the object before it bursts apart to reveal the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, who immediately engages the player in a battle.

Starmie are said to be extraterrestrials because of their star-shape and their seven colored core, which emits radio signals into space at night. Staryu behave similarly, gathering at night and flashing their red cores to communicate with the stars. They are also known to have remarkable regenerative abilities, including {{m|Recover}} and {{a|Natural Cure}}.

===={{p|Elgyem}} and {{p|Beheeyem}}====
Elgyem and Beheeyem allegedly appeared 50 years prior to the events of {{2v|Black|White}} in the [[Desert Resort]]. It is unknown how or why they appeared, although rumors of its origin are linked to a UFO crash site. This could be explained by their ability to rewrite the memories of the people and Pokémon around them. They survive hostile encounters by using their {{t|psychic}} powers to confuse opponents. In the present day, they are no longer found in the desert, and have relocated to high up in the [[Celestial Tower]] and on [[Unova Route 14]], respectively. In {{2v|Black|White|2}}, Beheeyem are no longer found in Unova Route 14. These Pokémon appear to be based on alien conspiracy theories including {{wp|Area 51#UFO and other conspiracy theories concerning Area 51|those surrounding Area 51}} and the {{wp|Roswell UFO incident|Roswell incident}}.

===={{p|Kyurem}}====
[[File:Giant Chasm Crater Forest Winter BW.png|thumb|The Giant Chasm]]
[[File:Giant Chasm Adventures.png|thumb|The crater supposedly caused by Kyurem's meteor]]
In an old legend in [[Lacunosa Town]], a large meteor fell from the sky, apparently containing Kyurem. At night, the "monster" would bring cold winds and take people and Pokémon away, to eat them. The town residents then surrounded Lacunosa Town with a wall to keep Kyurem out, and a rule was set on the town that forbade anyone from leaving the town at night, and encouraged them to stay in their homes. Even to this day, the residents remain in their houses at night and the wall is still standing. Kyurem lives in the [[Giant Chasm]], the impact crater of the meteor which supposedly brought Kyurem to [[Unova]]. However, an NPC also states that this myth could possibly be false, and in {{2v|Black|White|2}}, it is confirmed that Kyurem is actually what was left when the [[Disputed Pokémon#Original dragon|original dragon]] split into {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}. It is possible that it was, in fact, this original dragon that came to Earth from space, which would make Reshiram and Zekrom extraterrestrial Pokémon as well, and would allow both theories to be true simultaneously.

===={{p|Eternatus}}====
Eternatus crashed from a meteor 20,000 years ago and nearly destroyed the Galar region in an event known as the [[Darkest Day]]. Some parts of its body fell off and became [[Wishing Star]]s, which are responsible for the [[Dynamax]] phenomenon. [[Rose]] tried to revive this Pokémon, but was stopped by {{ga|Victor}}/{{ga|Gloria}}.
Eternatus crashed on the planet 20,000 years prior to the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword and Shield]] and stayed asleep for 17,000 years until it awakened and nearly destroyed the whole Galar region by creating a huge storm over it, this event was known as the [[Darkest Day]]. Before the region was destroyed however, [[Legendary heroes|two Pokémon]] and [[Ancient Galarian Kings|two humans]] worked together to take it down, causing [[Wishing Star|many]] [[Wishing Piece|pieces]] of its body to rain down around the region and it to lose its [[Eternamax|original form]]. 3000 years later, chairman Rose tried to ressurect Eternatus and bring back the Darkest Day, but Eternatus was defeated once again by the two Pokémon that defeated it and [[Hop|two]] [[Victor (game)|more]] [[Gloria (game)|humans]].

[[File:Distortion World physics.png|thumb|left|The Distortion World as seen in [[Pokémon Platinum Version]]]]
[[File:Distortion World physics.png|thumb|left|The Distortion World, where Giratina lives in]]
The Pokémon of Myth are three powerful Legendary Pokémon of the [[Sinnoh]] region: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Each member of this trio, in addition to Arceus, have control over their own [[dimension]]s. Dialga controls time and Palkia controls space, two aspects of the {{wp|spacetime|four-dimensional universe}} that the [[Pokémon world]], like our own, is a part of. Giratina has control over antimatter and the [[Distortion World]], where time does not flow and space is unstable, while Arceus has its own world where the [[Hall of Origin]] is located.

The Ultra Beasts are native to the dimension known as [[Ultra Space]], which on rare occasions becomes connected with the [[Pokémon world]] via spacetime anomalies called [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. While the Ultra Beasts normally stay within Ultra Space, they can on occasion become stranded outside of it due to the formation of an Ultra Wormhole that leaves them unable to return. This can prove to be dangerous for anyone nearby, as the disorientation involved can often cause them to become violent.
