==Trivia==
* Molayne's battle theme in the [[Champion Stadium]],[[File:Masters Song Key.png|20px|link=Jukebox (Masters)]]''Battle! (Alola Elite Four: Molayne) (Pokémon Masters EX Version)'', remixes two other songs into the standard [[Alola]] [[Elite Four]] battle theme: ''Battle! (Alola Trainer)'', possibly referencing the fact that he is battled as a normal Pokémon Trainer in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, and the background music from [[Hokulani Observatory]].
===Origin===
Molayne's design is based on his appearance in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. Alolan Dugtrio is Molayne's signature Pokémon in the [[core series]] games. Alolan Dugtrio's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.

Trivia

  • Molayne's battle theme in the Champion Stadium,Masters Song Key.pngBattle! (Alola Elite Four: Molayne) (Pokémon Masters EX Version), remixes two other songs into the standard Alola Elite Four battle theme: Battle! (Alola Trainer), possibly referencing the fact that he is battled as a normal Pokémon Trainer in Pokémon Sun and Moon, and the background music from Hokulani Observatory.

Origin

Molayne's design is based on his appearance in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon. Alolan Dugtrio is Molayne's signature Pokémon in the core series games. Alolan Dugtrio's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
