Ultra Space is an [[Dimensions|interdimensional]] spatial realm filled with crystalline meteoroids and populated by members of the {{p|Cosmog}} line. It links to a number of different worlds and dimensions through differently colored Ultra Wormholes called '''warp holes'''. While they may naturally occur, these wormholes are more commonly deliberately opened by the Cosmog, its [[evolution|evolutionary]] relatives of {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}; and [[Necrozma]].

[[Lusamine]] and [[Guzma]] disappear into an Ultra Wormhole using [[Nebby]]'s power. They then wind up in the home of {{p|Nihilego}}, the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] (referred to as Ultra Space). The player and [[Lillie]] visit this world, in order to save Guzma and Lusamine, by forming another Ultra Wormhole created by Nebby at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}}.
As [[Hau]] and the {{player}} visited [[Aether Paradise]], an Ultra Wormhole opens in the facility and releases a Nihilego, that after its defeat, returns to Ultra Space. After the player reaches [[Lusamine]] in Aether Paradise with Hau, [[Lillie]], [[Gladion]], and [[Guzma]], she uses [[Nebby]]'s power to open countless Ultra Wormholes all over [[Alola]] to spread [[Ultra Beast]]s around the region. After she's defeated, she retreats into another Ultra Wormhole alongside Guzma as the wormholes started closing again. The player and Lillie, in order to save Guzma and Lusamine, formed another Ultra Wormhole with Nebby's help at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}} after it evolved into a {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}. They found themselves in the Nihilego's homeworld, [[Ultra Deep Sea]] (referred to as Ultra Space) and after defeating Lusamine, who had [[Pokémon fusion|fused]] with a Nihilego, they all returned to Alola.


In the post game, another Ultra Wormhole can be passed through the enter the opposite's version's world, allowing the player to obtain a Cosmog.
In the post-game, an Ultra Wormhole can still be found at the Altar of the Sunne{{sup/7|S}}/Altar of the Moone{{sup/7|M}} and can be passed through to enter an alternate version of the [[Pokémon world]], specifically Alola, where it'll be nighttime{{sup/7|S}}/daytime{{sup/7|M}} instead, there the player can travel to the [[Lake of the Moone]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Lake of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|M}} to obtain a {{p|Cosmog}} through Nebby and a {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|M}} from there.

Similarly to the previous games, [[Lusamine]] used [[Nebby]] to open an [[Ultra Wormhole]], but only one so she could reach Ultra Space and defeat {{ga|Necrozma}} alongside [[Guzma]] to protect their world. The {{player}} and [[Lillie]] also evolved Nebby into {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|UM}} so they could rescue Lusamine and Guzma, however, before it could create an Ultra Wormhole, a new one appeared at the altar created by Necrozma, that threw Lusamine and Guzma out of it.

Ultra Space (Japanese: ウルトラスペース Ultra Space) is an interdimensional realm from where Ultra Beasts may come, being accessible via Ultra Wormhole. Ultra Space and Ultra Wormholes were discovered and named by Professor Mohn of the Aether Foundation. Professor Burnet, a researcher of the relationship between Pokémon and other dimensions, is researching these strange phenomena.

Geography

Ultra Space is an interdimensional spatial realm filled with crystalline meteoroids and populated by members of the Cosmog line. It links to a number of different worlds and dimensions through differently colored Ultra Wormholes called warp holes. While they may naturally occur, these wormholes are more commonly deliberately opened by Cosmog, its evolutionary relatives Solgaleo and Lunala; and Necrozma.

History

In ancient times, Necrozma's light shone through the Ultra Wormholes connecting to various worlds such as the Ultra Beasts' homeworlds, Ultra Megalopolis and the Pokémon world, primarily over the Alola region. However, following an incident with the residents of Ultra Megalopolis in ancient years, Necrozma's body was damaged and it lost the ability to produce light, the agony caused by its injuries sending it into a berserk state where it constantly hungered for light. As a result, it was imprisoned in Megalo Tower. Professor Kukui theorizes that the Sparkling Stones found across Alola and fashioned into Z-Rings and Z-Power Rings are the lost pieces of Necrozma's body.

At one point in the past, a SolgaleoSUS/LunalaMUM arrived in Alola from Ultra Space and won a fight against the guardian deities. Solgaleo/Lunala bestowed the Tapunium Z to the guardian deities, and in conjunction with a LunalaSUS/SolgaleoMUM produced several Cosmog that were revered by the region's monarchies and protected by the four tapu, before the Legendary Pokémon departed back to Ultra Space.

At another point in the past, Necrozma appeared in Alola and stole its light, covering the region in darkness. Necrozma clashed against the guardian deities, who fought to defend Alola. During that time, Necrozma also absorbed SolgaleoUS/LunalaUM to become its Dusk ManeUS/Dawn WingsUM form. With the assistance of a youth, Z-Crystals and Sparkling Stones, the deities banished Necrozma, freed SolgaleoUS/LunalaUM and reclaimed Alola's light.

Prior to the events of Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Professor Mohn and the Aether Foundation had done research on Ultra Space, giving the location its name, and discovering what lies beyond Ultra Wormholes. He had discovered that Cosmog may be an Ultra Beast, due to its origins of Ultra Space.

In the core series games

Pokémon Sun and Moon

As Hau and the player visited Aether Paradise, an Ultra Wormhole opens in the facility and releases a Nihilego, that after its defeat, returns to Ultra Space. After the player reaches Lusamine in Aether Paradise with Hau, Lillie, Gladion, and Guzma, she uses Nebby's power to open countless Ultra Wormholes all over Alola to spread Ultra Beasts around the region. After she's defeated, she retreats into another Ultra Wormhole alongside Guzma as the wormholes started closing again. The player and Lillie, in order to save Guzma and Lusamine, formed another Ultra Wormhole with Nebby's help at the Altar of the SunneS/Altar of the MooneM after it evolved into a SolgaleoS/LunalaM. They found themselves in the Nihilego's homeworld, Ultra Deep Sea (referred to as Ultra Space) and after defeating Lusamine, who had fused with a Nihilego, they all returned to Alola.

In the post-game, an Ultra Wormhole can still be found at the Altar of the SunneS/Altar of the MooneM and can be passed through to enter an alternate version of the Pokémon world, specifically Alola, where it'll be nighttimeS/daytimeM instead, there the player can travel to the Lake of the MooneS/Lake of the SunneM to obtain a Cosmog through Nebby and a LunalaS/SolgaleoM from there. This world is known as the reverse world.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

Similarly to the previous games, Lusamine used Nebby to open an Ultra Wormhole, but only one so she could reach Ultra Space and defeat Necrozma alongside Guzma to protect their world. The player and Lillie also evolved Nebby into SolgaleoUS/LunalaUM so they could rescue Lusamine and Guzma, however, before it could create an Ultra Wormhole, a new one appeared at the altar created by Necrozma, that threw Lusamine and Guzma out of it. After battling Nebby, Necrozma absorbed Nebby and became Dusk ManeUS/Dawn WingsUM Necrozma, creating countless Ultra Wormholes all over Alola, before being defeated and retreating to Ultra Space. The player uses the Ultra Recon Squad's LunalaUS/SolgaleoUM to go after Necrozma in the squad's homeworld, Ultra Megalopolis, where the player defeats it, freeing Nebby and forcing it to retreat back to Alola.

In Episode RR, Team Rainbow Rocket uses the Ultra Wormhole technology to travel to Alola from Ultra Space, this team is formed by previous villainous team leaders from worlds where they were victorious in their plans. They built their Team Rocket's Castle in Aether Paradise. After each of them were defeated, Colress uses the same technology to send them back to their worlds (except Giovanni).

Unlike Sun and Moon, the player can travel through the Ultra Wormhole using Nebby or the Ultra Recon Squad's SolgaleoUS/LunalaUM using the Ultra Warp Ride throught the Ultra Wormhole at the Altar of the SunneUS/Altar of the MooneUM and access several new Ultra Space worlds through the Warp Holes. The following areas can be accessed this way:

If a Pikachu, Cubone, or Exeggcute is evolved in Ultra Space, it will evolve into Kantonian Raichu, Marowak, or Exeggutor rather than their respective Alolan form. Despite the Ultra Ruin being an alternate version of Alola, Pikachu, Exeggcute and Cubone will still evolve into their Kanto counterparts as opposed to their Alolan forms.

In animation

In Revealing the Stuff of Legend!, Ash, his classmates, and Gladion traveled through an Ultra Wormhole with Solgaleo to the Ultra Deep Sea to rescue Lusamine from Nihilego. Everyone escaped the Ultra Deep Sea and returned to their own world in 10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!

An animated series-exclusive world in Ultra Space known only as Poipole's world debuted in a dream The Shape of Love to Come!. It is the home world of Ash's Poipole. In The Prism Between Light and Darkness!, the Ultra Guardians arrived in this world with Lunala in pursuit of Necrozma, where it was revealed that Necrozma used to grant light to this alternate world before it lost its power protecting its residents. With the combined Ultra Aura of the people and Pokémon of Alola, Necrozma was able to return to its Ultra form, bringing life back to the world. Its mission complete, Poipole decided to stay with its kind, bidding Ash and Pikachu farewell.

In Battling the Beast Within!, Ash and Pikachu were transported through a dimensional rift to the Ultra Ruin, an alternate version of Alola that was devastated by the arrival of a Guzzlord. The pair came face to face with Guzzlord, but were rescued by Dia and his friend Zeraora. Ash and Pikachu later assisted Dia and Zeraora in pushing Guzzlord into an Ultra Wormhole before returning to their own world in Parallel Friendships!.

In the final episode of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, Ash recounted a story of an off-screen adventure he had with Solgaleo in an unnamed Ultra Space world, where he helped an Ultra Beast he had "never seen before", despite all known Ultra Beasts having debuted in the anime by this point. It was later shown in a flashback in footage recorded by Rotom, who showed it to the Aether Foundation. Lusamine was so impressed by Rotom's findings that she offered Rotom a position helping the Foundation, which Rotom accepted with Ash's blessing.

In The Homecoming Crown!, it was revealed that Mohn had wound up in the Ultra Deep Sea following his disappearance into an Ultra Wormhole years before. He had been found by a Shiny Nihilego, which had rescued him, brought him back to his own world through another wormhole, and settled down to live with him at the Crown Tundra.
