In the [[Pokémon world]], there are many different '''dimensions'''. While trivial references to other dimensions were made early in the franchise's history, the concept was truly introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Four of the [[Sinnoh]] region's legendary Pokémon have a connection to alternate dimensions which are an aspect of the main plot of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}; this is expanded on in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [[Pokémon movie]]s. The Dimensional Research Lab run by [[Professor Burnet]] in [[Heahea City]] investigates alternate dimensions.

{{main|Unown Dimension}}
===Dialga's world===
While researching ruins with depictions of the Unown, [[Spencer Hale]] was transported into this dimension. His daughter, [[Molly Hale|Molly]], inherited a puzzle box found there that gave her contact with the Unown, which granted her wishes. Such was the strength of the world she created, that an opening to the dimension appeared in the entrance hall of her mansion. During this time, the Unown gained powerful control over [[Greenfield]], but all contact with the dimension ended after Molly wished for things to go back to the way they had been before. A portal to the dimension was opened above [[Mt. Silver]] [[EP263|some time later]], and an Unown fell out, but it had no trouble returning when it was in good health. The Unown Dimension also became the battleground of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, before their battle moved to [[Alamos Town]].
Dialga's world is the dimension in which {{p|Dialga}} resides.
 
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond}} and {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Cyrus]] summons Dialga from its homeworld and onto the [[Spear Pillar]]. In Platinum, when the {{player}} battles Dialga after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], it comes through a dimensional rift created by Cyrus's original summoning of it. The only known gateway to exist, is the one at the top [[Mt. Coronet]] on the Spear Pillar. It has never made a direct appearance in the core series.
 
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Dialga can be encountered by the {{player}} through a dimensional rift while [[soaring in the sky]].
 
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Dialga emerges from a dimensional rift at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], where it can be battled and caught by the {{player}}.
 
In the anime, this world is shown briefly during the opening scene of ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.
 
===Palkia's world===
Palkia's world is the dimension in which {{p|Palkia}} resides.
 
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pearl}} and {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Cyrus]] summons Palkia from there and onto the [[Spear Pillar]]. In Platinum, when the {{player}} battles Palkia after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], it comes through a dimensional rift created by Cyrus's original summoning of it. The only known gateway to exist, is the one at the top Mt. Coronet on the Spear Pillar. It has never made a direct appearance in the core series.
 
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Palkia can be caught by the {{player}} through a dimensional rift while [[soaring in the sky]].
 
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Palkia emerges from a dimensional rift at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], where it can be battled and caught by the {{player}}.

===Distortion World===
[[File:Distortion World PG.png|thumb|250px|Distortion World]]
{{main|Distortion World}}
The Distortion World is an alternate dimension in which {{p|Giratina}} resides. Giratina stays in its {{form|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Forme}} in this world.
 
In {{game|Platinum}}, as [[Cyrus]] summons both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} to create his new world, {{p|Giratina}} appears from there to stop him from destroying the world, taking Cyrus to the Distortion World along with it. After Cyrus is taken away, the {{player}} must follow both, and with the help of the [[Lake guardians]] and [[Cynthia]], explore the area. Two known gateways to it exist: one at the top of [[Mt. Coronet]] on the [[Spear Pillar]], and another in [[Turnback Cave]]. It is a dark place with floor-like sections floating at many different angles. The world disobeys the normal laws of physics, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction.
 
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Giratina can be caught by the player because of a dimensional rift while [[soaring in the sky]].
 
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Giratina emerges from a dimensional rift at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]] to aid [[Volo]] in his battle against the player before retreating back after their ultimate defeat, later Giratina reappeared in Turnback Cave from another rift very weakened after the previous battle, where it can be battled again and caught by them.
 
Its anime counterpart, the [[Reverse World]], is featured in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

===Arceus's realm===
[[File:LA Arceus Realm.png|thumb|250px|Arceus in its realm]]
Arceus's realm is an alternate dimension said to be beyond both time and space. This realm appears as a dark void where nothing appears to exist, being the world where the Original One, {{ga|Arceus}} resides in a giant glowing appearance, possibly its [[List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon#Arceus's true form|true form]]. Although Arceus frequently appears in the [[Hall of Origin]], it is unclear whether the Hall of Origin is part of Arceus's realm.
 
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the player is suddenly brought to Arceus's realm where it welcomes them, transforms their phone into the [[Arc Phone]] and then sends them back in time to the [[Hisui]] [[region]], with the goal of seeking out all Pokémon.  


Travel between the Unown Dimension and the real Pokémon world has been shown to be possible through a puzzle box and a portal.
Its anime counterpart is known as [[#Arceus's world|Arceus's world]].

==Ghost World==
 
[[File:Spirit world DP090.png|thumb|220px|The portal to the Ghost World at the [[Summit Ruins]]]]
===Ultra Space===
[[File:Ultra Sun Ultra Moon Ultra Wormhole artwork.png|thumb|220px|Ultra Space]]
{{main|Ultra Space}}
Ultra Space is an interdimensional realm similar to space, said to exist between many different worlds via [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. It is a purplish-colored spatial realm covered with purple crystalline structures, energy spheres, electrified spheres and many warp holes leading to different worlds. The only Pokémon known to inhabit Ultra Space are {{p|Cosmog}} and its [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|Evolutions]]; {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} who all possess the ability to create Ultra Wormholes. Each of the linked worlds are inhabited by different {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, [[Ultra Beast]]s and other people. [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]] [[Mohn]] had conducted research on Ultra Space and discovering their existence. Currently [[Professor Burnet]] in [[Heahea City]] studies Ultra Space.
 
Prior to the events of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, [[Mohn]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] had done research on Ultra Wormholes and Ultra Space, before disappearing, leaving only some papers on {{p|Nihilego}} and Ultra Space, as well as a weakened {{p|Cosmog}}. During the events of the story, Aether President [[Lusamine]] forces [[Nebby]], to use its power and open countless Ultra Wormholes all over [[Alola]], allowing Ultra Beasts to invade from their homeworld. While Lusamine and [[Guzma]] leave through an Ultra Wormhole themselves, traveling to [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]]. During the game's climax Nebby, now as a Solgaleo{{sup/7|S}}/Lunala{{sup/7|M}} opens another Ultra Wormhole at [[Poni Island|Poni's altar]] at [[Vast Poni Canyon]] so that [[Lillie]] and the {{player}} can save Lusamine and Guzma. In the post game, the can travel through a dimensional rift and back through an Ultra Wormhole to an alternate Alola, allowing them catch a new Cosmog.
 
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Lusamine instead uses Nebby to open a single Ultra Wormhole so she and Guzma can travel to Ultra Space to capture {{ga|Necrozma}}. Like in Sun and Moon, [[Lillie]] and the player ask Nebby to take them to Ultra Space, however, as Nebby is about to help, a new Ultra Wormhole emerges before it. Lusamine and Guzma are spat out of the warp hole as Necrozma follows, initiating battle with Nebby and absorbs its light, turning into Dusk Mane{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings{{sup/7|UM}}. After a fight with the player, Necrozma and opens countless more Ultra Wormholes, causing Ultra Beasts to invade. Necrozma flees through another Ultra Wormhole and into [[Ultra Megalopolis]]. The player then use the [[Ultra Recon Squad]]'s Lunala{{sup/7|US}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|UM}} to go after it. This method of travel is called [[Ultra Warp Ride]].
 
In the anime, a counterpart of [[Ultra Megalopolis]] is known as [[Poipole's world]]. An exclusive unnamed world is shown inhabited by an unknown Ultra Beast.
 
The player can travel to different worlds through Ultra Warp Ride including:
*'''[[Ultra Deep Sea]]''': A dark, rocky cave-like world. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Deep Sea are {{p|Nihilego}}.
*'''[[Ultra Jungle]]'''{{sup/7|US}}: A jungle-like world full of volcanoes, normal and muscled-looking trees. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Jungle are {{p|Buzzwole}}.
*'''[[Ultra Desert]]''' {{sup/7|UM}}: A whitish desert-like world with many rock-like structures and crystals, similar to buildings. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Desert are {{p|Pheromosa}}.
*'''[[Ultra Plant]]''': A dark world full of mountains and in constant thunderstorms. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Plant are {{p|Xurkitree}} of several different sizes.
*'''[[Ultra Forest]]'''{{sup/7|US}}: A Japanese-looking forest-like world full of nature, rocks and sand. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Forest are {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}s and {{p|Kartana}}.
*'''[[Ultra Crater]]'''{{sup/7|UM}}: A huge yellowish world full of craters and gases coming out of the ground. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Crater are {{p|Celesteela}}.
*'''[[Ultra Ruin]]''': A ruined, futuristic version of [[Hau'oli City]] in the [[Alola]] region. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Ruin are an unnamed suited man and {{p|Guzzlord}}.
*'''[[Ultra Space Wilds]]''': Four different worlds set in the wilderness of the Ultra Space.

{{main|Pokémon Dream World}}
The Pokémon Dream World is an alternate dimension that can acessed by Pokémon when they fall asleep, supposedly connected to the Interdream Zone, which is said to be located between dreams and reality. The Dream World is a paradise-like dimension full of plants, always sunny, and composed of many different floating islands. Many Pokémon can be found in the Dream World.
 
The Dream world is the main research of [[Fennel]]


It has not appeared in the games, but is mentioned in all of {{p|Dusknoir}}'s Pokédex entries and the Japanese name of the [[Reaper Cloth]] (れいかいのぬの ''Spirit World Cloth'').
The Dream World appeared in Pokémon Adventures as where Reshiram and Zekrom are sent to after they return to their [[Dragon Stones|stone forms]].


In the anime an entrance to it appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]'', where the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] staff accidentally opened a portal to it when renovating the [[Summit Ruins]]. A [[ghost girl]] and Dusknoir were both let out, with the Dusknoir trying to take the ghost girl back to the Ghost World, while she was trying to abduct people and take them to the Ghost World. Another entrance appeared in ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'', where the {{p|Litwick}} in [[Litwick Mansion]] tried to lead {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} there while draining their life energy.

The Interdream Zone is located between dreams and reality and is investigated by [[Professor Burnet]] in the [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off game]] [[Pokémon Dream Radar]].
The Interdream Zone is an alternate dimension located between dreams and reality. It takes many different appearances, but always possesses Dream Orbs and [[Dream Cloud]]s floating around in the air. It is inhabited by several different Pokémon, most notably the {{form|Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, and Enamorus|Therian Formes}} of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}, who are said to have been born there.
The Interdream Zone is mentioned in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] by [[Scientists]] at the [[Dimensional Research Lab]] in [[Heahea City]].
 
In {{g|Dream Radar}}, it is explored and researched by [[Professor Burnet]] and her {{Player|unnamed assistant}}, catching as many Pokémon in it they can.
 
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, it is briefly mentioned by a {{tc|Scientist}} at the Dimensional Research Lab in [[Heahea City]], which is led by Professor Burnet, who now researches dimensions other than it in [[Alola]], such as Ultra Space.

===Unown Dimension===
[[File:Unown dimension M03.png|thumb|220px|{{p|Unown}} in the Unown Dimension]]
{{main|Unown Dimension}}
While researching ruins with depictions of the {{p|Unown}}, [[Spencer Hale]] was transported into this dimension. His daughter, [[Molly Hale|Molly]], inherited a puzzle box found there that gave her contact with the Unown, which granted her wishes. Such was the strength of the world she created, that an opening to the dimension appeared in the entrance hall of her mansion. During this time, the Unown gained powerful control over [[Greenfield]], but all contact with the dimension ended after Molly wished for things to go back to the way they had been before. A portal to the dimension was opened above [[Mt. Silver]] [[EP263|some time later]], and an Unown fell out, but it had no trouble returning when it was in good health. The Unown Dimension also became the battleground of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, before their battle moved to [[Alamos Town]].


==Mirror World==
Travel between the Unown Dimension and the real Pokémon world has been shown to be possible through a puzzle box and a portal. The direct connection between ancient sites like the [[Ruins of Alph]] and [[Solaceon Ruins]] and their large concentrations of {{p|Unown}} remains a curiosity amongst {{tc|Scientist}}s.
[[File:Mirror World.png|thumb|250px|The Mirror World]]
{{-}}
{{main|Mirror World}}
The Mirror World is an alternate dimension with strong connections to the [[Reflection Cave]]. It is nearly identical to the regular Pokémon world, with the exception that the humans and Pokémon found in the Mirror World have opposing personalities to their regular world counterparts. According to [[Mirror Clemont]], the existence of portals to other worlds in the Reflection Cave is a myth, at least in the Mirror World. This also suggests the Mirror World is merely one of many different alternate dimensions reachable through the Reflection Cave. Also according to Mirror Clemont, people not from the Mirror World will be trapped inside the Mirror World forever once the sun has set, although the regular world's {{TRT}} managed to get out somehow even though they were still in the Mirror World after sunset.


It appeared in ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''. {{Ash}} wandered in the Mirror World after he was lost in the Reflection Cave and [[Mirror Ash|his mirror image]] took {{AP|Pikachu}} from his shoulder. In the Mirror World, Ash met up with the Mirror World counterparts of {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}, and later also with the Mirror World counterpart of himself. Later, the Mirror World counterparts of Ash and his friends helped the regular world's Ash to get back to his own world before sunset.
===Ghost World===

==Ultra Space==
{{main|Ultra Space}}
Ultra Space is an alternate dimension that is home to the [[Ultra Beast]]s. Unstable portals called [[Ultra Wormhole]]s connect the Pokémon world and Ultra Space. It first appeared in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].


==Timespace dimensions==
===Dialga's world===
A device called the [[Time-Space Axis]] in [[Michina Town]] is able to indicate the condition of every minute change in the time-space continuum, serving to mirror the movements of the timespace dimensions and thus monitoring the likelihood of potential cataclysm.  
[[File:Temporal World.png|thumb|250px|Temporal World]]
This dimension was mentioned in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It is the home of {{mov|Dialga}}.


===Distortion World===
Dialga and Palkia's worlds are usually far away from each other. During the events of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', the two worlds began to converge. Due to shock waves caused by Arceus awakening from its deep slumber, the two worlds clashed, resulting in a battle between Dialga and Palkia, because each Pokémon thought that the other was trespassing onto its territory. The battle subsided a short time before Arceus woke up.  
[[File:Reverse World.png|thumb|200px|Reverse World]]
{{main|Distortion World}}
The Distortion World is first accessed when the player reaches the summit of [[Mt. Coronet]], the [[Spear Pillar]], to stop [[Team Galactic]]'s plot to control {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. When the [[Lake guardians]] are unable to control both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, Giratina comes and swoops on [[Cyrus]] to stop him from destroying the world. After Cyrus is taken away by Giratina, the {{player}} must follow him, and with the help of the lake guardians and Cynthia, navigate the area. The Distortion World is said to be another universe or world parallel to the Pokémon world. Two known gateways to it exist: one at the top of [[Mt. Coronet]] on the [[Spear Pillar]], and another in [[Turnback Cave]]. It is a dark place with floor-like sections floating at many different angles. The world disobeys the normal {{wp|laws of physics}}, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Distortion World is {{p|Giratina}}.


In the anime, it is referred to as the [[Reverse World]].

This dimension was mentioned in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It is the home of {{p|Dialga}}, and began to converge with the Spatial World during the events of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.


It and the Spatial World are usually far away from each other, but due to shock waves caused by Arceus awakening from its deep slumber, they clashed. This resulted in a battle between Dialga and Palkia, because each Pokémon thought that the other was trespassing onto its territory. It subsided a short time before Arceus woke up.  
===Palkia's world===
[[File:Spatial World.png|thumb|250px|Spatial World]]
This dimension was mentioned in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It is the home of {{mov|Palkia}}.

Latest revision as of 10:08, 6 September 2024

A dimension is any of several alternate realities or planes of existence in the Pokémon world. While trivial references to other dimensions were made early in the franchise's history, the concept was truly introduced and explored in Generation IV with Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum

The Time-Space Axis monitoring five different dimensions in Arceus and the Jewel of Life

In the core series games

 
Portals to Dialga and Palkia's worlds and Giratina's Distortion World

Dialga's world

Dialga's world is the dimension in which Dialga resides.

In Diamond and Platinum, Cyrus summons Dialga from its homeworld and onto the Spear Pillar. In Platinum, when the player battles Dialga after entering the Hall of Fame, it comes through a dimensional rift created by Cyrus's original summoning of it. The only known gateway to exist, is the one at the top Mt. Coronet on the Spear Pillar. It has never made a direct appearance in the core series.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Dialga can be encountered by the player through a dimensional rift while soaring in the sky.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Dialga emerges from a dimensional rift at the Temple of Sinnoh, where it can be battled and caught by the player.

In the anime, this world is shown briefly during the opening scene of Hoopa and the Clash of Ages.

Palkia's world

Palkia's world is the dimension in which Palkia resides.

In Pearl and Platinum, Cyrus summons Palkia from there and onto the Spear Pillar. In Platinum, when the player battles Palkia after entering the Hall of Fame, it comes through a dimensional rift created by Cyrus's original summoning of it. The only known gateway to exist, is the one at the top Mt. Coronet on the Spear Pillar. It has never made a direct appearance in the core series.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Palkia can be caught by the player through a dimensional rift while soaring in the sky.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Palkia emerges from a dimensional rift at the Temple of Sinnoh, where it can be battled and caught by the player.

In the anime, this world is shown briefly during the opening scene of Hoopa and the Clash of Ages.

Distortion World

 
Distortion World
Main article: Distortion World

The Distortion World is an alternate dimension in which Giratina resides. Giratina stays in its Origin Forme in this world.

In Pokémon Platinum, as Cyrus summons both Dialga and Palkia to create his new world, Giratina appears from there to stop him from destroying the world, taking Cyrus to the Distortion World along with it. After Cyrus is taken away, the player must follow both, and with the help of the Lake guardians and Cynthia, explore the area. Two known gateways to it exist: one at the top of Mt. Coronet on the Spear Pillar, and another in Turnback Cave. It is a dark place with floor-like sections floating at many different angles. The world disobeys the normal laws of physics, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Giratina can be caught by the player because of a dimensional rift while soaring in the sky.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Giratina emerges from a dimensional rift at the Temple of Sinnoh to aid Volo in his battle against the player before retreating back after their ultimate defeat, later Giratina reappeared in Turnback Cave from another rift very weakened after the previous battle, where it can be battled again and caught by them.

Its anime counterpart, the Reverse World, is featured in Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

Arceus's realm

 
Arceus in its realm

Arceus's realm is an alternate dimension said to be beyond both time and space. This realm appears as a dark void where nothing appears to exist, being the world where the Original One, Arceus resides in a giant glowing appearance, possibly its true form. Although Arceus frequently appears in the Hall of Origin, it is unclear whether the Hall of Origin is part of Arceus's realm.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the player is suddenly brought to Arceus's realm where it welcomes them, transforms their phone into the Arc Phone and then sends them back in time to the Hisui region, with the goal of seeking out all Pokémon.

Its anime counterpart is known as Arceus's world.

Ultra Space

 
Ultra Space
Main article: Ultra Space

Ultra Space is an interdimensional realm similar to space, said to exist between many different worlds via Ultra Wormholes. It is a purplish-colored spatial realm covered with purple crystalline structures, energy spheres, electrified spheres and many warp holes leading to different worlds. The only Pokémon known to inhabit Ultra Space are Cosmog and its Evolutions; Solgaleo and Lunala who all possess the ability to create Ultra Wormholes. Each of the linked worlds are inhabited by different Pokémon, Ultra Beasts and other people. Professor Mohn had conducted research on Ultra Space and discovering their existence. Currently Professor Burnet in Heahea City studies Ultra Space.

Prior to the events of Pokémon Sun and Moon, Mohn of the Aether Foundation had done research on Ultra Wormholes and Ultra Space, before disappearing, leaving only some papers on Nihilego and Ultra Space, as well as a weakened Cosmog. During the events of the story, Aether President Lusamine forces Nebby, to use its power and open countless Ultra Wormholes all over Alola, allowing Ultra Beasts to invade from their homeworld. While Lusamine and Guzma leave through an Ultra Wormhole themselves, traveling to Ultra Space. During the game's climax Nebby, now as a SolgaleoS/LunalaM opens another Ultra Wormhole at Poni's altar at Vast Poni Canyon so that Lillie and the player can save Lusamine and Guzma. In the post game, the can travel through a dimensional rift and back through an Ultra Wormhole to an alternate Alola, allowing them catch a new Cosmog.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Lusamine instead uses Nebby to open a single Ultra Wormhole so she and Guzma can travel to Ultra Space to capture Necrozma. Like in Sun and Moon, Lillie and the player ask Nebby to take them to Ultra Space, however, as Nebby is about to help, a new Ultra Wormhole emerges before it. Lusamine and Guzma are spat out of the warp hole as Necrozma follows, initiating battle with Nebby and absorbs its light, turning into Dusk ManeUS/Dawn WingsUM. After a fight with the player, Necrozma and opens countless more Ultra Wormholes, causing Ultra Beasts to invade. Necrozma flees through another Ultra Wormhole and into Ultra Megalopolis. The player then use the Ultra Recon Squad's LunalaUS/SolgaleoUM to go after it. This method of travel is called Ultra Warp Ride.

In the anime, a counterpart of Ultra Megalopolis is known as Poipole's world. An exclusive unnamed world is shown inhabited by an unknown Ultra Beast.

The player can travel to different worlds through Ultra Warp Ride including:

  • Ultra Deep Sea: A dark, rocky cave-like world. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Deep Sea are Nihilego.
  • Ultra JungleUS: A jungle-like world full of volcanoes, normal and muscled-looking trees. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Jungle are Buzzwole.
  • Ultra Desert UM: A whitish desert-like world with many rock-like structures and crystals, similar to buildings. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Desert are Pheromosa.
  • Ultra Plant: A dark world full of mountains and in constant thunderstorms. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Plant are Xurkitree of several different sizes.
  • Ultra ForestUS: A Japanese-looking forest-like world full of nature, rocks and sand. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Forest are Ultra Forest Kartenvoys and Kartana.
  • Ultra CraterUM: A huge yellowish world full of craters and gases coming out of the ground. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Crater are Celesteela.
  • Ultra Ruin: A ruined, futuristic version of Hau'oli City in the Alola region. The only known inhabitants of Ultra Ruin are an unnamed suited man and Guzzlord.
  • Ultra Space Wilds: Four different worlds set in the wilderness of the Ultra Space.
    • Cliff World: A reddish mountainous-like world. It is inhabited by many different Pokémon.
    • Water World: An underwater cave-like world. It is inhabited by many different Pokémon.
    • Rocky World: A purplish rock-covered world. It is inhabited by many different Pokémon.
    • Cave World: A dark, blueish cave-like world. It is inhabited by many different Pokémon.
  • Ultra Megalopolis: A lightless, city-like world which had its light stolen long ago by Necrozma. It is inhabited by the Ultra Recon Squad, Poipole, and Naganadel.

Ghost World

Main article: Ghost World

The Ghost World or spirit world is a location that is home to many Ghost type Pokémon and human ghosts and also implied to be the afterlife of the Pokémon universe. It is known to emit electrical or radio waves.

It has never appeared in the games, but is mentioned in all of Dusknoir's Pokédex entries and in the Japanese name of the Reaper Cloth (れいかいのぬの Spirit World Cloth), confirming its existence and a strong relation with Dusknoir.

Pokédex entries

Several Pokédex entries refer to other worlds and dimensions.

Pokémon Description
 
Haunter 		Because of Haunter's ability to slip through block walls, it is said to be from another dimension.
 
Mega Gengar 		Mega Evolution has made it possible for Gengar to access other dimensions and appear anywhere. It caused a stir one time when it stuck just one leg out of a wall. It is said that it sinks into another dimension to keep a patient watch for its chance to attack.

According to the official Pokémon X and Y website, Mega Gengar's unblinking third eye allows it to see into other dimensions.[1]

 
Bronzong 		Some believe that Bronzong's bell-like cry allows it to open holes to another world. It brought rains through these portals and was revered as a bringer of plentiful harvests.
 
Porygon-Z 		Porygon-Z's programming was modified to enable it to travel through and work in alien dimensions, though it did not work as planned due to an apparent error which led to noticeably strange and unstable behavior in the Pokémon.
 
Palkia 		Palkia is said to live in a gap in the spatial dimension parallel to ours. Its total control over the boundaries of space enable it to transport itself to faraway places or even other dimensions.
  
Giratina 		Giratina is said to have been banished for its violence to live in a world on the reverse side of ours, the Distortion World, where common knowledge is distorted and strange. There, it silently gazed upon the old world.

In the entry for Giratina's Origin Forme in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Professor Laventon states that he believes Giratina "must hail from a world where the heavens and the earth are as one", though he admits he has no way of proving it.

 
Cosmog 		Cosmog is said to be a Pokémon from another world, but no specific details are known. When it's in a jam, it warps away to a safe place to hide.
 
Cosmoem 		People think Cosmoem may come from another world.
 
Solgaleo 		Solgaleo is said to live in another world; at the activation of its third eye, it departs for another world. Sometimes the results of its opening an Ultra Wormhole is that energy and life-forms from other worlds are called to this world.
 
Lunala 		Lunala is said to live in another world; when its third eye activates, away it flies to another world. It sometimes summons unknown powers and life-forms to this world from holes that lead to other worlds.
 
Nihilego 		Nihilego is a life-form from another world that appeared in this world from an Ultra Wormhole.
 
Buzzwole 		Buzzwole appeared from another world. Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives.
 
Pheromosa 		Pheromosa is a life-form that lives in another world. Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives. It refuses to touch anything, perhaps because it senses some uncleanness in this world.
 
Xurkitree 		Xurkitree appeared from the Ultra Wormhole. Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives.
 
Celesteela 		Celesteela appeared from the Ultra Wormhole. Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives.
 
Kartana 		Kartana came from the Ultra Wormhole. Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives.
 
Guzzlord 		Although Guzzlord is alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives.
 
Necrozma 		Necrozma is thought to have come from another world in ancient times.
 
Poipole 		Poipole lives in a different world. It is well enough liked to be chosen as a first partner in its own world.
 
Stakataka 		Stakataka appeared from an Ultra Wormhole.
 
Blacephalon 		Blacephalon appeared from an Ultra Wormhole.

Unown Dimension

 
Unown in the Unown Dimension
Main article: Unown Dimension

While researching ruins with depictions of the Unown, Spencer Hale was transported into this dimension. His daughter, Molly, inherited a puzzle box found there that gave her contact with the Unown, which granted her wishes. Such was the strength of the world she created, that an opening to the dimension appeared in the entrance hall of her mansion. During this time, the Unown gained powerful control over Greenfield, but all contact with the dimension ended after Molly wished for things to go back to the way they had been before. A portal to the dimension was opened above Mt. Silver some time later, and an Unown fell out, but it had no trouble returning when it was in good health. The Unown Dimension also became the battleground of Dialga and Palkia, before their battle moved to Alamos Town.

Travel between the Unown Dimension and the real Pokémon world has been shown to be possible through a puzzle box and a portal. The direct connection between ancient sites like the Ruins of Alph and Solaceon Ruins and their large concentrations of Unown remains a curiosity amongst Scientists.

Ghost World

 
The portal to the Ghost World at the Summit Ruins

In the anime an entrance to the Ghost World appeared in Ghoul Daze!, where the Pokémon Summer Academy staff accidentally opened a portal to it when renovating the Summit Ruins. A ghost girl and Dusknoir were both let out, with the Dusknoir trying to take the ghost girl back to the Ghost World, while she was trying to abduct people and take them to the Ghost World. Another entrance appeared in Scare at the Litwick Mansion!, where the Litwick in Litwick Mansion tried to lead Ash and his friends there while draining their life energy.

Due to shock waves caused by Arceus awakening from its deep slumber, the two worlds clashed, resulting in a battle between Dialga and Palkia, because each Pokémon thought that the other was trespassing onto its territory. The battle subsided a short time before Arceus woke up.

The Time-Space Axis device in Michina Town is able to indicate the condition of every minute change in the time-space continuum, serving to mirror the movements of the time-space dimensions and thus monitoring the likelihood of potential cataclysm.

Palkia's world
