How the Ultra island challenge works
Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon have eight captain-led or Totem trials and four grand trials. The order is Ilima, Hala, Lana, Kiawe, Mallow, Olivia, Sophocles, Acerola, Nanu, the Vast Poni Canyon Dragon trial and Hapu. Mina’s Fairy trial is new to these versions and opens after the Necrozma crisis.
Totem allies are separate opponents and only one can join at a time; the roster lists every possible call. Verdant Cavern has Totem Gumshoos in Ultra Sun and Totem Alolan Raticate in Ultra Moon. During Mina’s trial, Ultra Sun players battle Mallow and Sophocles, Ultra Moon players battle Lana, and both versions battle Kiawe. Postgame captain and kahuna rematches are not included.
