The Distortion World (Japanese: やぶれたせかい Torn World) is a location in Pokémon Platinum, and the true home of the legendary Pokémon Giratina.
The Distortion World is first accessed when the player reaches the summit of Mt. Coronet, Spear Pillar, to stop Team Galactic's plot to control Dialga and Palkia. When the lake trio are unable to handle both of them, Giratina comes and swoops on Cyrus to stop him from destroying both worlds. After Cyrus is taken away by Giratina, the player must follow him, and, with the help of Mesprit, Azelf, Uxie and Cynthia, navigate the area.
More of the 3D capabilities of the Nintendo DS are utilized in the Distortion World than elsewhere in Sinnoh, with the strange physics of the world altered to a point where the player is able to walk on ceilings and Surf on water that is at right angles with the norm, creating an effect similar to the art of M. C. Escher.
When in the Distortion World, Giratina will be in its true form, the Origin Forme. The Griseous Orb, found here, can be used to make Giratina assume this form outside of the Distortion World, where it would normally be in its Altered Forme.
During the player's first trip to the Distortion World in Platinum, Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie will guide them around, helping them in the Strength puzzle.
Geography
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 Spear Pillar, and another in Turnback Cave.
It is a dark place with platforms floating at many different angles. The world disobeys the normal laws of physics: time does not flow and spatial relations are irregular, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Distortion World is Giratina.
Cynthia and Cyrus theorize that this world was created by Giratina as a balance for the real world.

Trivia
- An anime-exclusive place, the Reverse World, may be the anime version of the Distortion World; both locations are home only to Giratina (in its Origin Forme).
- Although time is said to not flow here, events affected by time, such as Eevee's evolution to Espeon or Umbreon, still occur, and the Pokétch's clock continues to function.
- During the first visit here, players will have to surf up a waterfall, yet the HM Waterfall is not needed.
- In interviews Junichi Masuda and Takeshi Kawachimaru did for G4, it was revealed that Giratina and its Distortion World were created to be personifications of antimatter. The Distortion World's antimatter affects the real world's matter and vice versa, though they mentioned that antimatter is more fragile than real matter.
