The original Alola island challenge

Sun and Moon use seven island trials and four grand trials. The first trial has Totem Gumshoos in Sun and Totem Alolan Raticate in Moon. Lana’s Totem is Wishiwashi, Kiawe’s is Salazzle and Sophocles’s is Vikavolt. Hapu’s grand trial comes before the ancient Dragon trial in Vast Poni Canyon. Mina gives Fairium Z without an eighth Totem trial in these original games.

The Totem and SOS allies are separate opponents. Only one ally can stand beside the Totem at a time; the roster lists possible calls, including both of Vikavolt’s distinct Charjabug variants. Totem battles cannot be used to capture these Pokémon. Wishiwashi begins in School Form with rain active; Lurantis starts at +2 Speed and holds a Power Herb; Vikavolt, Mimikyu and Kommo-o receive +1 to all five ordinary battle stats.

Held items are shown on the Pokémon carrying them. Z-Crystals can activate a matching Z-Move once per battle; the four ordinary moves remain listed separately. Some original story opponents know fewer than four moves. Search includes Pokémon, moves, abilities, rewards and places, and linked references use the original Sun and Moon rules.
