What are Ultra Wormholes in Pokemon Go?

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 out 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 an Ultra Wormhole?

So far, there are eight Ultra Beasts in Pokemon Go:

• Nihilego
• Pheromosa
• Buzzwole
• Xurkitree
• Celesteela
• Kartana
• Guzzlord
• Poipole

Ultra Beasts only stick around for a limited time, so there won’t always be one to encounter. You can check out our Raid Boss schedule to see if there are any available right now.

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 win.

When you’ve defeated 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.
