Ultra Warp Ride Tips

To get to a portal to another world, you must ride on Lunala or Solgaleo through the main Ultra Wormhole first, which plays as a mini-game.

As you travel through the wormhole, keep the following in mind:

• If you lose too much speed, you will get sucked into the next wormhole regardless. Make sure to keep stocked up on the glowing gold balls to maintain momentum so you can avoid unwanted wormholes.
• Try using Solgaleo. We've found the four-legged beast to be much easier to control than Lunala. You can change which Legendary Pokemon you use by speaking to an Ultra Recon Squad member at Megalopolis.
• If the motion controls are discombobulating, turn them off. See the section below for details on how to - it's not as simple as finding the option in a menu.

How to Change Ultra Wormhole Controls

When Ultra Ride is first unlocked, you'll be forced to traverse the Ultra Wormhole with motion controls. This is absolutely not ideal, and can be quite disorientating.?

Changing this requires an odd, hidden method. First, fly to Heahea City on Akala Island. From the Pokemon Center, make a right, and enter the last building on the corner. Go into the Gamefreak office on the second floor and talk to the Aether Paradise employee to the left of the entrance to change the controls.?

Ultra Wormhole Rarity

You can tell how rare a Wormhole is by the rings that appear around it. They progress from no rings, one ring, two rings, and two rings with extra colorful aura.

The farther you go while riding Lunala or Solgaleo, the more likely you'll find a very rare Wormhole that leads to a place many thousands of lightyears away.

The rarer a Wormhole, the more likely you'll find a rare Pokemon inside, including Legendary Pokemon. Keep in mind it's not guaranteed - the chances are just higher. Check back soon for screenshots.

Ultra Wormhole Colors

There are five different colors of Ultra Wormholes, which represent different environments, ultimately determining which Pokemon you'll find as well.

These are:

• White Ultra Wormholes: Ultra Beasts
• Yellow Ultra Wormholes: Cave
• Red Ultra Wormholes: Cliffs
• Blue Ultra Wormholes: Water
• Green Ultra Wormholes: Field

See each individual color section to see what Legendary Pokemon you'll find there, and check back soon for all Pokemon.?

White Ultra Wormholes

White wormholes will always have Ultra Beasts on the other side. Some are rarer than others, but all are catchable in infinite quantities. See the Ultra Beasts page for information on the remaining beasts.

Yellow Ultra Wormholes

Red Ultra Wormholes

Blue Ultra Wormholes

Green Ultra Wormholes

Shiny Pokemon in Ultra Wormholes

There is a huge chance to find Shiny Pokemon in Ultra Wormholes.?

Non-legendary Pokemon are determined to be Shiny upon entering the wormhole. This means you can save and soft-reset as you wish, and the Pokemon will still be Shiny, allowing you to recapture it until you attain the desired Nature.?

This isn't the case with Legendary Pokemon. You can effectively soft-reset, resetting that Legendary Pokemon's Chance to be Shiny each time.??
