The Pokémon multiverse refers to a collection of alternate universes in the Pokémon media.

In the core series games

Pokémon Black and White

In Pokémon Black and White, it is said that Opelucid City is different in another world, with there being an alternate version of the city that is traditionalB/modernW, referencing the fact that the city differs between the two versions of the game. In Pokémon Black and White, the character ThymeB/BachW (on the second floor in the building east of Drayden's house) requests to be shown a Pokémon that knows Charge from the alternate world and rewards the player with a Cell Battery once they show him such a Pokémon 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 Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, which are earlier games set in Hoenn that lack Mega Evolution.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Archie mentions another world in which the player would battle Team Aqua. Similarly, in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Maxie mentions another world in which the player would battle Team Magma. These are both references 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 and Moon

In Pokémon 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 powerful Trainer who protected a tower, referencing her role in Pokémon Emerald.

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, during its post-game, an Ultra Wormhole appeared at the Altar of the SunneS/Altar of the MooneM, leading to an alternate universe's version of the altar, but during the nighttimeS/daytimeM instead. In this world, LunalaS/SolgaleoM can be found and with the player's SolgaleoS/LunalaM, they'll create a Cosmog to be caught.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

In Episode RR in Pokémon 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, Ghetsis, and Lysandre. All of these leaders use Legendary Pokémon in battle, proving they all gained control of the Legendaries they sought. 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, it's implied this Giovanni travelled to either the Pokémon Masters EX or Pokémon GO worlds.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, through the Ultra Warp Ride, it is possible to travel to other worlds, including an alternate universe's version of Alola, but completly destroyed by the Ultra Beast, Guzzlord.

In the spin-off games

Pokémon Masters EX

Giovanni is the same one that appeared in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, as he is the leader of Team Rainbow Rocket.

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

A different version of Ghetsis from 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 movie continuity somehow got trasnported to Pasio while chasing a Shiny Celebi.

During the The Classic Thunderbolt special event, Ash from the anime universe accidentally wound up on Pasio while training for the Masters Eight Tournament.

During the Twin Stars Far Apart story event, Liza and 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 Beasts, 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 Rose and Oleana from Pokémon 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.

In the anime

Pokémon the Series: XY

Main article: Mirror World

The Mirror World appears in The Cave of Mirrors!. It is similar to the regular Pokémon world, except that the humans and Pokémon found in the Mirror World have mirrored appearances and opposite personalities compared to their regular world counterparts.

The mirror versions of some characters are seen in this world:

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

In The Gates of Warp! and Showdown at the Gates of Warp!, there is another universe, which is similar to the main one.

The alternate versions of some characters are seen in this world:
