An Ultra Wormhole is a dangerous and unstable portal that connects the Pokémon World and Ultra Space.
Info[]
Formation[]
Rarely, an Ultra Wormhole appears as a crack in the sky, and later forms a complete wormhole. Cosmog is able to open Ultra Wormholes when subjected to extreme stress but this can be very dangerous for a Cosmog, since it can either die or not be able to move for a long period of time. Its two final evolutions, Solgaleo and Lunala, can open Ultra Wormholes much more easily than Cosmog. It is unknown if a Cosmoem is also able to form Ultra Wormholes like the rest of its evolutionary family.
Necrozma is able to open Ultra Wormholes like Solgaleo and Lunala too. Its Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Forms are able to open and manipulate several Ultra Wormholes without any difficulty.
Fallers[]
Fallers are people who passed thought an Ultra Wormhole, and possess the residual energy of the wormhole in their bodies, which causes Ultra Beasts to attack these people thinking they are a back passage to their worlds, sometimes people who go through the Ultra Wormhole can have a strong amnesia and just remember of the most basic information of their lives like: where they are from, what their names and things like, examples of these people are Mohn and Anabel. Currently the Fallers that still have their memories intact besides the player are: Lillie (in Sun and Moon), Lusamine, and Guzma, it is not known if the uniform that the Ultra Recon Squad uses causes some interference in the consequences of going through an Ultra Wormhole.
Games[]
Sun and Moon[]
When the player is leaving the Dimensional Research Lab, the crack in the sky is briefly formed in the sky and then disappears.
The first time that a fully formed Ultra Wormhole appears, it is at Aether Paradise, where a Nihilego comes out of it.
Lusamine forces Nebby to open several Ultra Wormhole during the events on the second visit at Aether Paradise:
- One of them is opened in her room where Nihilego came out from it.
- Another appears near on Mahalo Trail, where a Buzzwole/Pheromosa appears from it.
- Several other Ultra Wormholes appear in Alola: at Hau'oli City, at Paniola Town, at Route 9, at Maile City and in Seafolk Village, but the Ultra Beasts that emerged through these wormholes are unknown.
After Nebby evolves into Solgaleo or Lunala, it opens an Ultra Wormhole at the Altar of the Sunne/Moone and takes Lillie and the player to Ultra Space.
After beating the game, the player character can go into an Ultra Wormhole to reach the reverse world, where the night turns into day, and the Altar and the Lake of the Legendary Pokémon inverts to their counterparts, the player character can find Cosmog in this dimension.

Trivia[]
- According to James Turner, art director of Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, Ultra Wormholes are tributes to Stephen Hawking's theory.
- While the Ultra Wormhole commonly appears in certain area within Alola, it can also appear at different regions, which is very rare, as evident in The Homecoming Crown! when a shiny Nihilego brought a weakened Mohn to Crown Tundra.
