You’ll enter different areas and run into different Pokémon depending on the color and rarity of the Wormhole you entered. So if you find a rare Wormhole relatively soon into your game, don’t worry about the fact that you haven’t travelled a ton of lightyears and just break for the rare Wormhole. This isn’t Mantine Surf you don’t get points in this minigame. Distance travelled isn’t everything, however, as it’s possible to run into a stage four Wormhole as close as 2,500 lightyears away. You generally want to be moving fast because the slower you are moving, the more likely you’ll be to get sucked into a Wormhole that you weren’t aiming for.
There will also be balls of electricity that will reduce your speed if you run into them. The farther you travel, the less likely you’ll find stage one Wormholes and the more likely you’ll find stage four ones.Īs you travel in Ultra Space, you’ll find orange spheres that you’ll want to run into to increase your speed. Second stage Wormholes have a glowing ring surrounding them, third stage Wormholes have two rings around them and fourth stage Wormholes, the rarest Wormholes, have two rings around them as well as a glowing aura about them.
The first stage is the most common and looks just like a normal Ultra Wormhole a white center and a colored middle that fades into a black border. There are four stages of rarity for Ultra Wormholes. The object of the minigame is to get as far as possible, since rarer Wormholes tend to appear further into the ride, and the rarer the Wormhole is, the rarer the Pokémon you’ll find inside it will probably be. You can also change whether you ride on Solgaleo or Lunala by going to Ultra Megalopolis and talking to Soliera in Ultra Sun or Zossie in Ultra Moon. If these controls are not to your liking, you can change them to the normal circle-pad controls by talking to the Aether Foundation employee in the Game Freak office in Heahea City. You tilt the 3DS right to move right, you tilt it up to move up, etc. The Ultra Warp Ride minigame uses the 3DS’s gyroscopic motion controls, meaning that you have to tilt your 3DS console in the direction you want your character to move in.
This guide will tell you how the Ultra Warp Ride minigame operates and what you can expect to find in each Wormhole. One of the new features that distinguishes Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon from Sun and Moon is the new mechanic called the Ultra Warp Ride that allows the player to ride on the back of Solgaleo or Lunala through Ultra Space and go through different Ultra Wormholes to find alternate dimensions with rare Pokémon.
