Extraterrestrial Pokémon: Difference between revisions

A Deoxys is encountered at the conclusion of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]’s [[Delta Episode]]. After the battle with Zinnia (regardless of its outcome), Zinnia entrusts the player with destroying the approaching meteoroid. The player dons the [[Magma Suit]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Suit]]{{sup/6|AS}} and rides Rayquaza out to space to destroy the meteoroid. When Rayquaza shatters the meteoroid, however, a triangular object emerges from the middle of the debris. After a moment of darting around, tendrils snake out of the object before it bursts apart to reveal the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, who immediately engages the player in a battle.

===={{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}}====

[[File:Clefairy Dancing HGSS.png|thumb|Clefairy dance in a ring at [[Mt. Moon Square]] every Monday night.]]

The star-shaped {{p|Cleffa}} are said to have come to earth on meteorites. Wherever a meteorite lands, there is always a Cleffa near. In HGSS, Cleffa and their evolved forms, {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}}, dance in a ring on Monday nights, nights with a full moon, and on nights when meteor showers occur. Clefairy and its evolutionary relatives tend to make their habitat at impact sites, and Clefairy evolves into Clefable from a Moon Stone, further evidence that they are extraterrestrial in origin.

===={{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}}====

Starmie are said to be extraterrestrials because of their star-shape and their seven colored core, which emits radio signals into space at night. Staryu behave similarly, gathering at night and flashing their red cores to communicate with the stars. They are also known to have remarkable regenerative abilities, including {{m|Recover}} and {{a|Natural Cure}}.

===={{p|Lunatone}} and {{p|Solrock}}====

Lunatone and Solrock are said to have come from space and to draw their power from lunar and solar rays, respectively. They are both known as "Meteorite Pokémon," as they were discovered [[Meteor Falls|near a meteorite strike site]] approximately 40 years prior to the events of [[Pokémon X and Y]].

===={{p|Gothorita}}====

Gothorita are believed to have come from outer space due to their habit of arranging pebbles to form shapes of constellations.

===={{p|Elgyem}} and {{p|Beheeyem}}====

Elgyem and Beheeyem allegedly appeared 50 years prior to the events of {{2v|Black|White}} in the [[Desert Resort]]. It is unknown how or why they appeared, although rumors of its origin are linked to a UFO crash site. This could be explained by their ability to rewrite the memories of the people and Pokémon around them. They survive hostile encounters by using their {{t|psychic}} powers to confuse opponents. In the present day, they are no longer found in the desert, and have relocated to high up in the [[Celestial Tower]] and on [[Unova Route 14]], respectively. In {{2v|Black|White|2}}, Beheeyem are no longer found in Unova Route 14. These Pokémon appear to be based on alien conspiracy theories including {{wp|Area 51#UFO and other conspiracy theories concerning Area 51|those surrounding Area 51}} and the {{wp|Roswell UFO incident|Roswell incident}}.

===={{p|Kyurem}}====

[[File:Giant Chasm Crater Forest Winter BW.png|thumb|The Giant Chasm]]

In an old legend in [[Lacunosa Town]], a large meteor fell from the sky, apparently containing Kyurem. At night, the "monster" would bring cold winds and take people and Pokémon away, to eat them. The town residents then surrounded Lacunosa Town with a wall to keep Kyurem out, and a rule was set on the town that forbade anyone from leaving the town at night, and encouraged them to stay in their homes. Even to this day, the residents remain in their houses at night and the wall is still standing. Kyurem lives in the [[Giant Chasm]], the impact crater of the meteor which supposedly brought Kyurem to [[Unova]]. However, an NPC also states that this myth could possibly be false, and in {{2v|Black|White|2}}, it is confirmed that Kyurem is actually what was left when the original dragon split into {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}. It is possible that it was, in fact, this original dragon that came to Earth from space, which would make Reshiram and Zekrom extraterrestrial Pokémon as well, and would allow both theories to be true simultaneously.

===={{p|Eternatus}}====

Eternatus crashed from a meteor 20,000 years ago and nearly destroyed the Galar region in an event known as the [[Darkest Day]]. Some parts of its body fell off and became [[Wishing Star]]s, which are responsible for the [[Dynamax]] phenomenon. [[Rose]] tried to revive this Pokémon, but was stopped by {{ga|Victor}}/{{ga|Gloria}}.

==={{p|Iron Treads}} and {{p|Iron Moth}}===

===Extradimensional Pokémon===

===={{p|Arceus}} and the [[Pokémon of Myth]]====

{{p|Arceus}} lives in a high dimension<!--source?-->, from which it stands guard over the entire [[Pokémon world]]. In the games, this dimension is the [[Hall of Origin]]. The only way to get there is by blowing on the [[Azure Flute]], which was never legitimately released until ''Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and '' ''Legends: Arceus'', at the [[Spear Pillar]], the highest point in [[Sinnoh]].

===={{p|Dusknoir}}====

The antenna on Dusknoir's head allows it to receive transmissions from the [[Ghost World|spirit world]], which tell it to bring people there. The band on its body can open, similar to a mouth. It uses this ability to take spirits into its body and carry them home or as it travels to unknown places.

Dusknoir [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dusclops}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[Reaper Cloth]]. The Japanese name of the Reaper Cloth (れいかいのぬの ''Spirit World Cloth'') indicates that it comes from the Ghost World.

====[[Ultra Beast|Ultra Beasts]]====

[[File:Ultra Sun Ultra Moon Ultra Wormhole artwork.png|thumb|300px|Ultra Space artwork]]

The Ultra Beasts are native to the dimension known as [[Ultra Space]], which on rare occasions becomes connected with the [[Pokémon world]] via spacetime anomalies called [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. While the Ultra Beasts normally stay within Ultra Space, they can on occasion become stranded outside of it due to the formation of an Ultra Wormhole that leaves them unable to return. This can prove to be dangerous for anyone nearby, as the disorientation involved can often cause them to become violent.

===={{p|Cosmog}}, {{p|Cosmoem}}, {{p|Solgaleo}}, and {{p|Lunala}}====

Cosmog and its evolutions {{p|Cosmoem}}, {{p|Solgaleo}}, and {{p|Lunala}} are said to live in another world, although is also worth noting that Cosmog's Pokédex entry explicitly says that whether it actually comes from one is unclear. The Cosmog line is capable of opening portals to Ultra Space, however, which could suggest that the Cosmog line are in fact Ultra Beasts.  

===={{p|Necrozma}}====

Necrozma originates from Ultra Space. It can open [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and travel through them back and forth.

===Additional cases===

The following Pokémon are borderline or unclear cases that may or may not fit into either the extraterrestrial or extradimensional categories.
