Everything you need to know to understand the space-time distortions that appear.

 

Space-Time Rift and Distortions

When you start your adventure, you discover that you fell through a space-time rift. This is not without consequences, since throughout your adventure you will see what are known as Space-Time Distortions. Whenever you are in an area, at random, a notification will appear on your screen to warn you that a space-time distortion is about to open. If you look around, you may see a large blue/purple bubble. Wait for it to open after a few minutes so you can enter it and discover powerful Pokémon and rare items to pick up! 

They open at random, but certain factors can slow down their appearance! Indeed, the game can tell whether or not you are exploring. The game’s timer stops as soon as you are in the game menu or even in battle. If you explore, the base appearance rate resumes. This rate also differs before and after the post-game. Between 5 and 25 minutes, you have a 10 to 20% chance of seeing one open. From 40 minutes onward, the rate rises to 25%.
