Time travel is an infrequent but occasional theme in the Pokémon franchise.

In general

  • Celebi's species name is the Time Travel Pokémon. In the game, anime, and various manga, Celebi has been shown to physically travel into different time periods.
  • Dialga also has the same power to time travel as Celebi, on top of its abilities to also control time as a substance (slowing it, stopping it, etc).
