Pokémon Go: What are the blue orbs on Gyms?

There's a reason why you're seeing blue orbs over gyms on the Nearby screen in Pokémon Go. These initially emerged on the second day of Pokémon Go Fest 2022, signaling the arrival of a specific Pokémon kind. We'll go over what the blue orbs on Gyms symbolize and how they work in Pokémon Go in this article.

Everything you need to know about blue orbs on Gyms

The advent of an Ultra Wormhole, which indicates the approach of an Ultra Beast, is indicated by the blue orbs above the Gyms on your Nearby screen. These initially debuted on the second day of Pokémon Go Fest 2022, when Nihilego made his debut. They function similarly to raids, signaling the start of five-star raid combat against this specific Pokémon. When more Ultra Beasts appear, we expect one of these Pokémon to appear, which might be any of the 11 Pokémon that fall into this group.

Ultra Beasts are Pokémon that exist in a realm between reality and time known as Ultra Space. An Ultra Wormhole denotes someone passing through, arriving, and appearing. You'll have a limited amount of time to catch these Pokémon and add them to your collection, similar to raids. It's preferable to treat them as if they were legendary Pokémon. They're as difficult as legendary battles, so you'll want to accompany a friend or two to these raids if you want to succeed. The Ultra Wormholes will be available for a limited period only before being removed.
