Starting Lana's trial

The island challenge (Japanese: 島めぐり island-visiting) is a rite of passage for burgeoning Pokémon Trainers in the Alola region. Trainers can partake in these rites when they turn 11, which involve traveling through each of the four major islands of Alola and completing various trials on each. The goal of those taking the island challenge is to become the strongest Trainer, known as the island challenge champion.

The island challenge consists of a number of trials on each of the Alola region's four islands. These trials are not limited to Pokémon battles; they may involve finding designated items or a test of knowledge, among other tasks. Trials are all difficult tasks that require Trainers to prove themselves. To complete the trial, the Trainer must defeat a Totem Pokémon in an SOS Battle.

The final trial on each island is called the grand trial. In the grand trial, the Trainer must battle the Island Kahuna. If they complete an island's grand trial, they are recognized as having cleared all of that island's trials and can move on to the next island. Completing grand trials will also allow traded Pokémon to obey the player.

Each trial has a Trial Captain who provides guidance to Trainers undertaking a trial. All of the Captains are Trainers who undertook trials in their own island challenge a few years earlier.
