NianticUltra Wormholes are a major part of Pokemon Go, serving as the portal to the Ultra Beasts. So, here’s all you need to know about them, as well as the incredible creatures you can expect on the other side.
There are tons of rare Pokemon in Niantic’s mobile game, but the incredibly weird Ultra Beasts often feel like they’re on a whole other level, even when compared to the likes of Legendaries and Mythicals.
Ultra Beasts are some of the most powerful creatures available and could shake up the Go Battle League meta. So, before you go inside an Ultra Wormhole, you’ll want to know exactly how it works.
Ultra Wormholes explained
Ultra Wormholes are portals that appear at Gyms in Pokemon Go, allowing Ultra Beasts to travel into our world. They’re pretty much the same as Raid Eggs but will always lead to an Ultra Beast encounter.
You can find Ultra Wormholes by visiting the Nearby menu and looking for the portal symbol. When the timer ends, whichever Ultra Beast is featured in the Raid Boss schedule will appear in its place.
Which Ultra Beasts can appear in Ultra Wormholes?
Every Ultra Beast in the franchise has been introduced into the game, so they can all be found:
Even though Poipole and Naganadel are also Ultra Beasts, they do not spawn in Ultra Wormholes. Instead, players will need to complete a Special Research to get an encounter.
Keep in mind that Ultra Beasts only stick around for a limited time as 5-Star Raid bosses, so there won’t always be one to encounter.
How to catch an Ultra Beast in Pokemon Go
Once you’ve found an Ultra Wormhole and an Ultra Beast has emerged from it, it’s time to battle! Just like with Legendaries, you’ll need a strong team and multiple trainers to team up with if you want to defeat them.
When you’ve beaten an Ultra Beast, you’ll be given a limited amount of Ultra Balls to throw. It’s never guaranteed that you’ll catch one, but you can use Excellent Curveballs and Silver Pinap Berries to help.
That’s all there is to know about Ultra Wormholes in Pokemon Go and how they work. Don’t forget to check the other events like the Spotlight Hour schedule and all of the Raid Bosses and Shadow Raid bosses available.
