View source for Pokémon multiverse

The '''Pokémon multiverse''' refers to a collection of alternate {{pkmn|universe}}s in [[Pokémon]] media.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Black and White===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, it is said that [[Opelucid City]] is different in another world, with there being an alternate version of the city that is traditional{{sup/5|B}}/modern{{sup/5|W}}, referencing the fact that the city differs between the two versions of the game. The character Thyme{{sup/5|B}}/Bach{{sup/5|W}} (on the second floor in the building east of [[Drayden]]'s house) requests to be shown a Pokémon that knows {{m|Charge}} from the alternate world and rewards the {{player}} with a [[Cell Battery]] once they show him such a Pokémon [[game of origin|originating]] from the opposite version of the game.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Zinnia]] mentions that there is another similar yet different world where the war in [[Kalos]] 3000 years ago never occurred, so the [[ultimate weapon]] was never built and [[Mega Evolution]] consequently does not exist. This world contains an alternate version of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. This is a reference to {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, which are earlier games set in Hoenn that lack Mega Evolution.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, [[Archie]]{{sup/6|OR}}\[[Maxie]]{{sup/6|AS}} mentions another world in which the {{player}} would battle [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|AS}}. This is a reference to the opposite version of the game, implying that Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire take place in alternate universes to each other.

===Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon===
In {{g| Sun and Moon}}'s climax, the {{player}}, [[Lillie]], [[Lusamine]], and [[Guzma]] all travel to another world known as [[Ultra Space]]. The specific location they visit is later named [[Ultra Deep Sea]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon's climax, the player, Lusamine, and Guzma all head into another world to stop {{ga|Necrozma}}.

In Sun and Moon, [[Anabel]] is mentioned to have fallen onto [[Poni Island]] from another universe via an [[Ultra Wormhole]], and was found by [[Looker]] and [[Nanu]] ten years before the events of the game. She remembers that she came from [[Hoenn]] and was a [[Frontier Brain|powerful Trainer]] who protected a {{gdis|Battle Tower|III|tower}}, referencing her role in {{game|Emerald}}.

In [[Episode RR]] in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, [[Giovanni]] comes to [[Alola]] from an alternate universe in which [[Team Rocket]] was successful in achieving its goals. He then forms [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] by summoning other [[villainous team]] leaders from alternate worlds where they each also succeeded in their goals: [[Maxie]], [[Archie]], [[Cyrus]], [[Lysandre]], and [[Ghetsis]]. All of these leaders use [[Legendary Pokémon]] in {{pkmn|battle}}. [[Colress]] uses his technology to send them back to their original worlds after they are each defeated by the {{player}}. Episode RR ends with Giovanni wondering what other worlds he could attack next before vanishing on his own.

After the player becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}, a rift appears at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|SUS}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|MUM}}, which can be opened into an Ultra Wormhole and traveled through if the player has {{p|Solgaleo}} or Dusk Mane {{p|Necrozma}} in their [[party]] at night or {{p|Lunala}} or Dawn Wings Necrozma in their party during the day. The Ultra Wormhole leads to the Altar of the Moone{{sup/7|SUS}}/Altar of the Sunne{{sup/7|MUM}} in an alternate universe, known as the reverse world. It is near-identical to the original universe, but the [[time]] of day is inverted, the Altar of the Sunne{{sup/7|SUS}}/Altar of the Moone{{sup/7|MUM}} is replaced by the Altar of the Moone{{sup/7|SUS}}/Altar of the Sunne{{sup/7|MUM}} (with an Ultra Wormhole there allowing the player to return to the original world at any time), and the [[Lake of the Moone]]{{sup/7|SUS}}/[[Lake of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|MUM}} is replaced by the Lake of the Sunne{{sup/7|SUS}}/Lake of the Moone{{sup/7|MUM}}. If the player has Solgaleo{{sup/7|SUS}}/Lunala{{sup/7|MUM}} in their party and goes to the Lake of the Sunne{{sup/7|SUS}}/Lake of the Moone{{sup/7|MUM}} in the reverse world, a Lunala{{sup/7|SUS}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|MUM}} briefly appears before the player's Solgaleo{{sup/7|SUS}}/Lunala{{sup/7|MUM}} and the two of them create a {{p|Cosmog}} that the player can obtain.

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, through the [[Ultra Warp Ride]], it is possible to travel to other worlds by traveling through Ultra Space, including an alternate universe's version of Alola known as the [[Ultra Ruin]], which has been destroyed by {{p|Guzzlord}}.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], if the player goes to the [[Crystal Pool]] with {{p|Terapagos}} and [[Briar's Book]], [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} appears in a cloud of mist, [[time travel]]ing from the past. The professor notes their displacement across space and time and speculates that the encounter might be occurring in a different timeline to their own (though this seems to be contradicted by the fact that the encounter is mentioned in the professor's [[Area Zero journals|journals]] in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]]). They also mention that they are working on a [[time machine]] to catch [[Paradox Pokémon|Pokémon from other timelines]] and transport them to the present day in their own timeline. After trading their copy of the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} for Briar's Book, the professor vanishes in the mist, returning from whence they came.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{mas|Giovanni}} is the same one that appeared in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as he is the leader of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]].

{{mas|Cyrus}} is also the same one that appeared in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, as he says that he was about to use {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} to remake the world when he was interrupted by {{p|Hoopa}}'s ring.

A different version of {{mas|Ghetsis}} from {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} is playable in this game. Before arriving in [[Pasio]], Ghetsis was about to confront the player from the original game when he was also interrupted by Hoopa's ring.

The [[Team Rocket trio]] from the alternate {{pkmn|movie}} continuity is somehow trasnported to [[Pasio]] while chasing a {{Shiny}} {{p|Celebi}}.

During the {{DL|Special event|The Classic Thunderbolt}} [[special event]], {{mas|Ash}} from the {{pkmn|anime}} universe accidentally wound up on Pasio while training for the [[Masters Eight Tournament]].

During the [[Twin Stars Far Apart]] [[story event]], {{mas|Liza}} and {{mas|Anabel}} wind up in an alternate world version of Pasio through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. This world appears to house no humans, but does contain several [[Ultra Beast]]s, which appear to have wound up there by chance. The two Trainers eventually return to their own world through another wormhole.

A different version of {{mas|Rose}} and {{mas|Oleana}} from {{g|Sword and Shield}} are playable in this game. This version of Rose and Oleana are from a world where they have not yet caused the [[Darkest Day]].
