What the title says. I know most Pokemon here already have space manip via Dynamax being a thing, but this is something different that just occurred to me recently, so i'll just get straight to the point.
Yesterday some friends and I were re-watching The Rise of Darkrai because "muh-nostalgia" and I noticed something that I dont believe has been brought up before here. Pokemon generally seem capable of, on a very minor scale at least, effecting space-time. And this is present not only in the Darkrai movie, but also earlier in the anime series, the games and is further supported by what the Giratina movie gives us. I'll go through this one by one.
This first one is actually already acknowledged by us, so that gives this a good start. In the episode involving Togepi and the Mirage Kingdom, Shedninja and a pair of Ninjask team up their attacks to break through the fabric of space-time into the Togepi dimension, as well as making parts of the landscape inside the dimension vanish. Shown here in this clip:
This next bit of evidence comes from The Rise of Darkrai. Ash, Dawn and their pokemon were hurrying up the Space-Time tower in Alamos Town to play Oracion so it would pacify Dialga and Palkia to stop their fighting. Along the way, the stairs within the tower began to be erased like the rest of the town. Dawn had her Buneary and Buisel join a combo of Ice Beam + Water Gun so that the erased stairs would freeze. Doing this stopped the erasure of the stairs.
This is also from the Darkrai Movie. As Alamos Town continues to vanish as a collateral effect of Dialga and Palkia's clash, wild groups of Pokemon (or random trainers pokemon) join their attacks together to momentarily halt the erasure process of Alamos Town.
For this instance, I can’t post a clip of it to show it here. But I do remember the episode name so that it can be found.
It’s during the episode “Ghoul Daze” from the Diamond & Pearl series. A ghost girl was trying to lead Ash and his friends into the spirit world and to save them, Dusknoir blasted her into the portal that leads to the spirit world and destroyed it.
This instance is from the nightmare of a season we call Black and White..
In the 27-28th episodes of black and white rival destinies, there exists a space-time distortion within Twist Mountain, called The Gate of Time, that’s makes a pathway that extends into the prehistoric era in the past where fossil Pokémon like Tiritoga and Archeops live.
Team Rocket planned to use The Gate of Time to go into the past, but in order to do that, they needed to stabilize the gate as it’s a space-time distortion that changes constantly.
They confirmed that Tiritoga’s own life energy can stabilize the distortion.
From what I recall, we here consider Trick Room to be low level pocket dimension creation. Which means this would also help out here.
In this clip, against the Fairy Type Gym in X/Y, Ash’s Hawlucha outright smashes through Trick Room and destroys the whole thing.
This here is a quick point I remembered from the ORAS games.
Infinity Energy is the life force from Pokémon that was going to be used to power the Dimensional Shifter so it could send Grand Meteor Delta to another dimension.
What the title says. In USUM, Gastly creates a spatial warp in the Pokémon Training School.
This one I don’t have a clip or scan of on me, this was pointed out in the reply section.
Sometime in the Advanced series for Hoenn, Baltoys Rotation was used by an ancient civilization as a power source for time travel.
This clip is from Ash fighting Olympia in X/Y. Whenever her Meowstic Duo use Future Sight, we see them cause several warping effects that indicates its warping space-time and/or going through some kind of portal.
Mentioned this earlier. While nothing is actually shown like the above examples, this bit here is arguably the most important evidence out of everything here because of the Reverse World's purpose in the verse.
As explained by Newton, whenever an imbalance occurs in the outside world, the Reverse World acts as a balancer so that the balance between time and space is maintained. Anytime an imbalance occurs, a black toxic cloud is formed as a bi-product of space-time being repaired.
Now a potential counter argument to this, one that I might have seen before regarding this, is that the distortion world rebalancing time and space is only done when Dialga and Palkia shenanegans occur specifically. But this is wrong.
For one, Newton never refers to the Creation Trio and what they do when talking about this. He says when imbalances occur in the world, which would mean he's talking about any general imbalance and not specifically the Creation Trios. While Dialga and Palkia's battle in Alamos Town greatly contributed to this phenomena happening, to the point where the distortion world became polluted by large quantities of these toxic clouds appearing, they are not the sole cause of it happening in the first place.
In addition to this, we clearly see these toxic clouds form, even when the creation trio aren't fighting each other or doing their own space-time nonsense. This clip shows such an instance after Piplup nearly suffocates from being near one and another random toxic cloud appears out of nowhere. It goes without saying here, but the Giratina movie takes place quite a while after Dialga and Palkia's battle, which clearly indicates that they have nothing to do with this happening normally. Meaning, there are things that happen outside the Creation Trio that still cause space-time imbalances and needs the distortion world to repair them. Meaning, lesser-scale space-time nonsense would be at work and pokemon doing that would fall under this.
From what i've found, all Pokemon should have minor space-time manipulation on some scale. Shedninja and Ninjask forcefully breaking through space-time fabrics to effect stuff in another dimension, Dawn's Buneary and Buisel stopping a small patch of space-time erasure with their attacks, random pokemon minorly halting the erasure of Alamos Town with their attacks, Dusknoir destroying a portal, Tiritoga stabilizing and destroying a space-time distortion that connects the past and present together, Baltoys Rotation being used to power time travel, Ash’s Hawlucha outright destroying Trick Room, Meowstic warping space-time with Future Sight, Pokémon’s Infinity Energy being used to power the Dimensional Shifter, Gastly causing a spatial loop and the Distortion World stopping generally anything, even things outside the Creation Trio's actions, from imbalancing space-time would suggest this is legit.

Evidence 4: Dusknoir Destroying a Portal

Evidence 10: Future Sight Warps Space-Time (?)

Evidence 11: The Reverse/Distortion World
Mentioned this earlier. While nothing is actually shown like the above examples, this bit here is arguably the most important evidence out of everything here because of the Reverse World's purpose in the verse.
As explained by Newton, whenever an imbalance occurs in the outside world, the Reverse World acts as a balancer so that the balance between time and space is maintained. Anytime an imbalance occurs, a black toxic cloud is formed as a bi-product of space-time being repaired.
