In Type 1 wormholes, the chance of encountering a shiny Pokémon is always 1%, regardless of the distance traveled. The chart below shows the probability of shiny Pokémon appearing in each type of wormhole, except for Type 1. They will always contain a legendary Pokémon unless the player has captured or defeated all legendaries found in the color of the wormhole.
Type 4 = Two Rings and a vivid flower-like pattern. In this guide, each wormhole type will be numbered. The wormhole type affects the odds of encountering a shiny within that wormhole, and also determines which Ultra Beast’s world will appear within a white wormhole. Distance is the only factor used to determine the odds of each type of wormhole appearing. The chances of finding different wormhole types in Ultra Space can be found in the chart below. Collect the orange energy orbs while avoiding as many blue energy orbs as possible to accumulate speed over time, reach much farther distances, and find rare Pokémon. As you travel farther, you may discover some wormholes with light rings around them, which raise your chances of encountering legendaries and shinies within them. Each one leads to a different location depending on its color. Soon, you may begin to notice the many different colors of wormholes in Ultra Space. If you're going for distance, Solgaleo is preferred over Lunala, as Lunala's wings can obstruct visibility and increase susceptibility to hitting blue energy orbs. You can change whether you ride on Solgaleo or Lunala by going to Ultra Megalopolis and talking to Soliera (Ultra Sun) or Zossie (Ultra Moon). However, hitting any of the blue energy orbs will cause your legendary to slow down and be more susceptible to being pulled into a wormhole. The more of these orbs you collect, the faster your legendary will travel. Once you've entered the portal on either Solgaleo or Lunala, you will begin to see many orange energy orbs appear in the wormhole. It is generally recommended to use the D-pad for controls, as it eases overall control. The default method for traveling through the Ultra Wormhole is with tilt controls, but this can be changed to D-pad controls after the first run by talking to the Aether Foundation Employee in the Game Freak office in Heahea City. Every Pokémon captured in Ultra Space will have at least three perfect IVs of 31 in random stats. The item drop mechanic does not apply to legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts. The item itself is predetermined, so you cannot soft reset for a different item. This includes nature, IVs, and whether or not the Pokémon will drop an item after battle. All other aspects of the Pokémon are determined upon encounter and thus can be soft reset for. If you have the Shiny Charm, your odds become 3/4096.
The odds for these Pokémon to be shiny are the same as the base shiny odds in the games: 1/4096. This does not apply to legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts, which are normal stationary encounters, so you are able to soft reset your game to find shinies.
The Pokémon you encounter and its shiny value are determined from the moment you step into a wormhole, so soft resetting for a different Pokémon or for a shiny Pokémon will not work.You can encounter numerous legendary Pokémon, shiny Pokémon, and even Ultra Beasts, so being prepared is important.Before you begin, it is recommended you consider the following: All areas that will be discussed in this guide can only be accessed through this portal.
The portal that allows the player to enter Ultra Space can be found at the Altar of the Sunne (Ultra Sun) or the Altar of the Moone (Ultra Moon), which can be directly accessed through the Ride Pager by flying to the northern area of Ancient Poni Path. In this guide, you will learn everything you need to know about Ultra Space, from the legendary Pokémon available to the odds of finding a shiny Pokémon. However, with the release of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Ultra Space greatly expanded, and many new worlds and features became available. Upon its introduction in Pokémon Sun and Moon, Ultra Space only granted the player access to Nihilego's world.
