It has a round body with a white underside and four stumpy legs. It also has a proportionally large head, small black eyes with twinkle-shaped pupils, and a zigzagging mouth.<br /> <br /> Trapinch's large jaws are powerful enough to crush any boulders that get in its way as it digs through the sand of the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|arid deserts}} in which it lives. It can go a week without water or food. Instead of actively hunting prey, it digs into the sand to build its bowl- or cone-shaped nests, waiting for prey to tumble inside and become trapped. When night falls, Trapinch will dig itself a spot underneath the sand and go to sleep. Due to the size of its head in contrast to its small body, Trapinch will be unable to get up after flipping over onto its back, making it vulnerable to natural predators such as {{p|Sandile}}.<br /> <br /> ===Evolution===<br /> Trapinch evolves into {{p|Vibrava}}, which evolves into {{p|Flygon}}.<br /> <br /> (For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&amp;rarr;Evolution data]].)<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;&quot;&gt;<br /> {{Evobox-3<br /> |type1=Ground<br /> |pictype=art<br /> |no1=0328<br /> |name1=Trapinch<br /> |type1-1=Ground<br /> |evo1=<br /> |no2=0329<br /> |name2=Vibrava<br /> |type1-2=Ground<br /> |type2-2=Dragon<br /> |evo2=<br /> |no3=0330<br /> |name3=Flygon<br /> |type1-3=Ground<br /> |type2-3=Dragon}}<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Game data==<br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Dex/Header|type=Ground}}<br /> {{Dex/NA|gen=III}}<br /> {{Dex/Gen/2|gen=III|reg1=Hoenn|num1=116|reg2=Kanto}}<br /> {{Dex/Entry1|v=Ruby|t=FFF|entry=&lt;sc&gt;Trapinch&lt;/sc&gt;'s nest is a sloped, bowl-like pit dug in sand.

It was the seventh [[core series]] region to be introduced and is the setting of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]]. <br /> <br /> Alola is made up of four islands: [[Melemele Island]], [[Akala Island]], [[Ula'ula Island]], and [[Poni Island]]. In the center is an artificial island by the name of [[Aether Paradise]]. It is a popular resort destination and attracts a lot of tourists from other regions. In Alola, humans and [[Pokémon]] coexist in a very close relationship, and a culture has developed that is different from other regions.<br /> <br /> The [[island kahuna]] of each island is known to offer the first partner Pokémon to Trainers beginning their journey of this archipelago. In gameplay, the kahuna of Melemele Island, [[Hala]], will offer the options of {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, and {{p|Popplio}} to beginner Trainers in Sun and Moon, while in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, [[Professor Kukui]] of [[Alola Route 1|Hau'oli City Outskirts]] will offer the same three Pokémon under Hala's behalf.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology and design concept==<br /> ===Etymology===<br /> According to [[Shigeru Ohmori]], the name &quot;Alola&quot; is meant to incorporate a meaning of a land that overflows with life force and supports various forms of life.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.twitch.tv/nintendo/v/72391082?t=43m Nintendo Treehouse: Live at E3 (recorded)]&lt;/ref&gt; Specifically, the name may come from ''ola'' ({{wp|Hawaiian language|Hawaiian}} for life) and the traditional Hawaiian word ''{{wp|aloha}}'', which, beyond its use as a greeting, also signifies a respect and love for the shared life force between all. This etymology is likely also shared by the Alolan greeting and parting &quot;alola&quot;. The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Alola is &quot;Alolan&quot;, as seen in the term [[Alolan form]].<br /> <br /> ===Design concept===<br /> {{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Alola|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Alola}}<br /> [[File:Pokemon-to-real-world-North America.png|thumb|left|250px|The map of {{wp|North America}} showing the Alola region as the state of {{wp|Hawaii}}.]]<br /> Alola is based on the {{wp|Hawaiian Islands}}, an archipelago in the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}} which is home to {{wp|Hawaii}}, a state of the {{wp|United States}}.&lt;ref&gt;(May 23, 2016).

Each island is also named after the Hawaiian word for their associated color. The colors also correspond with the [[nectar]] and flowers available on said island, as well as each island's [[guardian deities|guardian deity]].<br /> {{left clear}}<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> ===Dated history===<br /> * c. 500 years prior to the events of Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, {{p|Magearna}} was built and presented to a king's daughter.<br /> <br /> ===Undated history===<br /> *&quot;Hundreds of years ago&quot;<br /> ** As the people of [[Ultra Megalopolis]] injured {{ga|Necrozma}} in an attempt to steal its powers, pieces of its prismatic body were rained down onto different universes, which included Alola's, giving origin to the [[Sparkling Stone]]s, [[Z-Crystal]]s, and consequently, to the [[Z-Ring]]s{{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|M}}/[[Z-Power Ring]]s{{sup/7|US}}{{sup/7|UM}}, and [[Z-Move]]s.<br /> ** A Pokémon known as the {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|SUS}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|MUM}} emerged from an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Seeing them as a threat, the [[guardian deities]] had battled the [[Legendary Pokémon]] but were defeated in the end. Solgaleo{{sup/7|SUS}}/Lunala{{sup/7|MUM}} then offered the tapu the [[Tapunium Z]] as a reward for their efforts. Afterwards, the Legendary Pokémon, along with it's counterpart, a Lunala{{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|US}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|M}}{{sup/7|UM}}, eventually created a newborn in the form of a {{p|Cosmog}} for the tapu to take care of. This has created a repeated cycle found in the region.<br /> ** Necrozma, arrives in Alola through an Ultra Wormhole, stealing all of the light in the region and shrouding it in darkness. During the events it gets a hold of Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} and turns into Dusk Mane Necrozma{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings Necrozma{{sup/7|UM}}. Under the commands of Alola's royalty, the four tapu battled the now dubbed &quot;{{ga|Necrozma|pillager of light}}&quot; to retrieve the region's light. With the help of a youth using a Sparkling Stone and [[Z-Power]], the group had managed to defeat and banish Necrozma, restoring the region's light and freeing Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} from it. This had created Alola's tradition of the [[island challenge]]. All books related to Necrozma were burned.<br /> ** The [[Battle Royal]] was created based on battles between the four [[Guardian deities|tapu]].<br /> ** [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] are seen to have existed for hundreds of years.&lt;ref&gt;[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] takes place an undocumented number of years before any other title in the franchise. Within said title, [[Professor Laventon]] claims, ''&quot;Remarkable! Truly outstanding stuff! A Pokémon letting someone ride on it... Why, it's just like the [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] of Alola!&quot;'' Implying the service had existed prior to Legends: Arceus.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * After a [[Thrifty Megamart]] was built on {{p|Tapu Bulu}}'s sacred grounds nearby, the angered guardian deity destroyed [[Tapu Village]] and the megamart itself, leaving only a [[Pokémon Center]] as the only functioning building.<br /> * A group that coalesced around one of the [[Island kahuna|islands's kahunas]] provoked the wrath of the four island deities and was struck down, however the survivors became the first members of [[Team Skull]].<br /> <br /> ===Contemporary history===<br /> The worlds of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon take place in different universes from one another, with the worlds of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon taking place in universes different from not only each other but to Sun and Moon as well, causing a set of [[Pokémon multiverse|parallel universes]]. Pokémon Moon and Ultra Moon have a 12 hour [[time]] difference from Sun and Ultra Sun. Alola's contemporary history is different in Sun and Moon compared to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.<br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> Before the events of both sets of games, Professor [[Mohn]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] had conducted research on [[Ultra Beast]]s and discovering the existence of [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, {{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Nihilego}}, he had ended up missing prior to the story of the games. Professor Mohn had named Cosmog's species.&lt;ref&gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20161118233920mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/cosmog/ Pokémon Sun and Moon official website (archived)]: &quot;''The Aether Foundation is researching this unusual Pokémon, and one of the professors at the foundation recently dubbed it Cosmog.''&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Two years prior to the events of the games, [[Gladion]] steals a {{p|Type: Null}} species from the [[Aether Foundation]] and leaves [[Aether Paradise]]. While three months prior, [[Lillie]] does a similar act and takes off with a {{p|Cosmog}} that she had also stolen from Aether Paradise. During the process, This Cosmog has transported her to a beach in Alola and is found by [[Professor Burnet]]. Lillie stays with both [[Professor Kukui]] and Burnet on [[Melemele Island]] leading up to the events of the main story. Sometime during this set of events the {{player}} character, who is either {{ga|Selene}} or {{ga|Elio}} leaves [[Kanto]] for their new home set on {{rt|1|Alola}}.<br /> <br /> ;Pokémon Sun and Moon<br /> The {{player}} begins their [[Pokémon journey|adventure]] after meeting Professor Kukui who takes them to receive their first partner Pokémon from [[Island kahuna|Kahuna]] [[Hala]]. During this series of events, the player meets Lillie, mistaking her for the kahuna; her Cosmog; [[Nebby]], and Hala's Grandson, [[Hau]] on their way to [[Iki Town]]. Nebby gets attacked by wild {{p|Spearow}} on a wooden bridge, to which is destroyed after the player helps protect the Pokémon. Melemele's island guardian, {{p|Tapu Koko}}, saves the two of them and offers the player a [[Sparkling Stone]]. The player receives their first partner Pokémon and a [[Z-Ring]] at the festival inaugurating their [[island challenge]], consisting of seven trials and four grand trials in order to become the island challenge champion. Along their journey, they encounter a group called [[Team Skull]], whose members are misfits who failed the island challenge and aim to cause trouble, as well as the Aether Foundation, whose goal is to cure hurt Pokémon. Midway through their island challenge, the player is brought on a tour of Aether Paradise, where they find a {{p|Nihilego}}, an [[Ultra Beast]] and are tasked to defeat it. After defeating the leader of Team Skull, [[Guzma]], at the [[Shady House]], they learn that Lillie was taken away by Team Skull, and upon Gladion's request, him, the player and Hau travel to Aether Paradise to rescue Lillie, where they battle [[Lusamine]], the president of the Aether Foundation who is also revealed to be Lillie and Gladion's mother. Lusamine opens [[Ultra Wormhole]]s across Alola and enters one with Guzma. The player and Lillie evolve [[Nebby]] into {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}} and travel into [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]], where the player battles Lusamine once again and brings her and Guzma back to Alola. The player catches Nebby after Lillie tells it that she isn't a Trainer. The player then climbs to the summit of [[Mount Lanakila]], where the newly opened {{al|Pokémon League}} stands. They defeat the [[Elite Four]] and Professor Kukui, becoming the first {{pkmn|Champion}} of Alola. A festival is held in Iki Town, and Lillie brings them to the [[Ruins of Conflict]] to thank {{p|Tapu Koko}}. <br /> <br /> The next day, Lillie leaves on boat for Kanto to help her sickly mother. The [[International Police]] contact the player to investigate and catch the Ultra Beasts unleashed across Alola.<br /> <br /> ;Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon<br /> Similar to the above, prior to the events of the games, [[Gladion]] and [[Lillie]] both steal Pokémon from the [[Aether Foundation]]. The player moves to Alola.<br /> <br /> The {{player}} begins their [[Pokémon journey|adventure]] after meeting [[Professor Kukui]] who provides them with their first partner Pokémon on [[Island kahuna|Kahuna]] [[Hala]]'s behalf. During this series of events, the player meets Lillie, mistaking her for the kahuna; her Cosmog; [[Nebby]], and Hala's Grandson, [[Hau]] on their way to [[Iki Town]]. Nebby gets attacked by wild {{p|Spearow}} on a wooden bridge, to which is destroyed after the player helps protect the Pokémon. Melemele's island guardian, {{p|Tapu Koko}}, saves the two of them and offers the player a [[Sparkling Stone]]. The player receives a [[Z-Power Ring]] at the festival inaugurating their [[island challenge]], consisting of eight trials and four grand trials in order to become the island challenge champion. Once again the player comes across [[Team Skull]] and the Aether Foundation, battling a wild {{p|Nihilego}} found on Aether Paradise. However, the player is also met with a new group known as the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], who are associated with Aether. After defeating the leader of Team Skull, [[Guzma]], at the [[Shady House]], they learn that Lillie was taken away by Team Skull, and upon Gladion's request, him, the player and Hau travel to Aether Paradise to rescue Lillie, where they battle [[Lusamine]], the president of the Aether Foundation who is also revealed to be Lillie and Gladion's mother. Lusamine opens a single [[Ultra Wormhole]] to enter with Guzma in a plot to stop {{ga|Necrozma}} from stealing Alola's light. The player and Lillie evolve Nebby into {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|UM}} at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}} however, before they can go into [[Ultra Space]], Lusamine and Guzma are immediately ejected from an Ultra Wormhole, being defeated by Necrozma. Necrozma soon follows and captures Nebby and takes control of its body, becoming Dusk Mane{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings Necrozma{{sup/7|UM}}, and proceeds to not only summon [[Ultra Beast]]s into Alola, but steals all of Alola's light. With help from the Ultra Recon Squad, the player [[Ultra Warp Ride|rides atop]] a Lunala{{sup/7|US}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|UM}} and goes to [[Ultra Megalopolis]] to chase down Necrozma, who then uses the light it took from Nebby to [[Ultra Burst|become Ultra Necrozma]], its original [[form]]. The player successfully defeats Necrozma and separates Nebby from it, returning the light to Alola. The player then finishes their island challenge and climbs [[Mount Lanakila]] where they defeat Hau, as their final obstacle and becoming the first {{pkmn|Champion}} of Alola. A festival is held in [[Iki Town]]. <br /> <br /> Gladion leaves for Kanto and [[Johto]] by boat. The player then returns home, where they are contacted by Hau and the Ultra Recon Squad to catch {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}} or {{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}}. They then learn of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]], who take over the [[Festival Plaza]] and Aether Paradise. Lillie reaches out to the player for help and they intervene, dealing with several [[Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt (Trainer class)|Rainbow Rocket Grunt]]s in the altered Aether Paradise, now known as [[Team Rocket's Castle]]. The organization is ran by several villainous Team Leaders from previous video games: [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[Cyrus]], [[Lysandre]], and [[Ghetsis]]; all coming from timelines where they were successful in their plans. Finally, they reach Lusamine's chamber and defeat Rainbow Rocket's head leader, [[Giovanni]], who then leaves Paradise and restores it to normal after his defeat. However, before he leaves, he subtly implies he has yet more plans in mind. Gladion returns a month later after Giovanni's defeat, allowing him and his mother to reunite with his father in unexpected ways.<br /> <br /> ==Geography==<br /> ===Environment===<br /> [[File:Alola anime.png|thumb|350px|Alola's main islands in {{aniseries|SM}}]]<br /> [[File:Aether Paradise anime.png|thumb|250px|Aether Paradise in {{aniseries|SM}}]]<br /> The Alola region consists of four main islands: [[Melemele Island]], [[Akala Island]], [[Ula'ula Island]], and [[Poni Island]]. It also includes one artificial island, [[Aether Paradise]], described as a &quot;{{wp|very large floating structure}}&quot; or VLFS, and [[Poké Pelago]], a group of small, uninhabited islands. People can travel between the islands via boat, the [[Poké Ride]]'s {{p|Charizard}} Glide, and [[Mantine Surf]]; it is not possible to use the Poke Ride's {{p|Lapras}} Paddle or {{p|Sharpedo}} Jet, or any [[Field move|field moves]], to move between the islands. All four natural islands are, to an extent, forested and mountainous. Most of these islands' cities and towns are on the coast, with the notable exceptions of [[Iki Town]] and [[Paniola Town]]. Routes are relatively developed here compared to other regions, with several of them having their own [[Pokémon Center]]s in addition to residential buildings.<br /> <br /> Though steeped in nature, Melemele Island, in the northwest of the archipelago, has the least extreme environments. It is home to Alola's largest settlement, [[Hau'oli City]]. Its routes gently slope up towards the center of the island to form a gradual mountain, on top of which are the [[Ruins of Conflict]]. A notable Melemele Island landmark is [[Ten Carat Hill]], which was formed out of an underwater volcano and has an open-air hollow in the middle, itself resembling a volcano.<br /> <br /> Akala Island, in the northeast of the archipelago, contains Alola's only active volcano, in [[Wela Volcano Park]]. It also has the most settlements of the four natural islands. Its largest city, [[Heahea City]], boasts several huge resort hotels, such as the [[Hano Grand Resort]], which has its own beach and golf course. A notable Akala Island landmark is [[Brooklet Hill]], which has cascading waterfalls that give off the impression of a terrace field. The island is also contains a rainforest known as Lush Jungle.<br /> <br /> Ula'ula Island, in the southeast of the archipelago, is the largest of Alola's islands. It is also the most varied in terms of weather and terrain, with significantly rougher terrain areas than other islands. For such a large island, it has few settlements: [[Malie City]], the largest city in Ula'ula; [[Tapu Village]], destroyed by the {{p|Tapu Bulu|tapu}} a long time ago, contains just a [[Pokémon Center]]; and [[Po Town]], occupied by [[Team Skull]]. These settlements all sit in the shadow of a contiguous mountain range in the heart of the island, which includes three mountain peaks and a [[Haina Desert|harsh desert]]. On the southwest coast of the island is a large lagoon with [[breakable rock]]s that the Poké Ride's Sharpedo Jet can break through. Notable Ula'ula Island landmarks are the [[Lake of the Moone]] and the [[Lake of the Sunne]], both perfectly circular lakes that have special connections to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] of Alola, {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.<br /> <br /> Poni Island, in the southwest of the archipelago, is the most sparsely populated of Alola's islands. It only contains one settlement in [[Ancient Poni Path]], however the [[Seafolk Village]] is a gathering location of seafarring people. Similar to the [[Battle Zone]] in [[Sinnoh]], it is full of rugged and harsh environments. Though its coasts are fairly flat, the island is mostly mountainous and rocky, in part due to the sprawling [[Vast Poni Canyon]] — described as a natural [[Island challenge|trial site]] — that takes up over half the island's land. Exeggutor Island, a smaller unihabited island that was once its own trial site, can be accessed in Seafolk Village. <br /> <br /> Aether Paradise, just west of the center of the archipelago, starkly contrasts with the natural islands. It is strikingly modern, with a huge building in the center that serves as both the main area and the headquarters of its owners, the [[Aether Foundation]]. Behind this building is a sprawling mansion that serves as the office and residence of its head, [[Lusamine]].<br /> <br /> Among Alola's four islands is another smaller archipelago known as [[Poké Pelago]]. This archipelago is uninhabited by people, despite this, [[Mohn]] has made it a paradise for Trainer-owned Pokémon and has several different islands and attractions for their Pokémon to take part in.<br /> <br /> ===Climate===<br /> Alola has a warmer climate than other regions, being more tropical, similar to its [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Alola|real-world counterpart]] of {{wp|Hawaii|Hawaii}}. For example, a [[Lush Jungle|thriving rainforest]] grows on [[Akala Island]]. The Pokémon themselves have also adapted to Alola's tropical atmosphere, the biggest example being the {{p|Exeggutor}} that grow on Poni Island, who have reached lengths other Exeggutor are unable to reach, due to the amount of sun that shines over the islands. These Exeggutor match the flora that grow on the islands. However, [[Mount Lanakila]], Alola's highest point, constantly experiences snow and {{weather|hail}} due to its high altitude. <br /> <br /> Each of the natural islands also experiences a wide variety of weather conditions. For example, [[Ula'ula Island]] hosts environments with harsh {{weather|sun}}, extreme {{weather|sandstorm}}s, and frequent {{weather|rain}}, in addition to the snow and hail on [[Mount Lanakila]]. [[Exeggutor Island]] is known to have common rain showers, as well, these often result in either rainbows during the day, or meteor showers during the night when the rain clears.<br /> <br /> ===Ecology===<br /> [[File:Vulpix anime.png|thumb|300px|Due to their snowy habitat, Alolan {{p|Vulpix}} (right) have become {{type|Ice}}.]]<br /> The ecology of Alola is described as being diverse. While plenty of the Pokémon who live in Alola has lived with human natives for generations, plenty of new Pokémon from other regions have shown up recently as well.&lt;ref&gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20161119224622/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/alola-region/ Pokémon Sun and Moon official website (archive)]&lt;/ref&gt; Alola's environmental conditions affect its Pokémon in various ways. To adapt to the unique environmental pressures of their Alolan habitats, a number of Pokémon species originally found in the [[Kanto]] region have developed [[regional form]]s named [[Alolan form]]s. Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}}, for instance, are five times as tall as those in other regions due to Alola's abundant sunlight, and Alolan {{p|Vulpix}}, which moved to snowy mountain peaks to avoid the normal habitats of other Pokémon, adapted to their new environment by becoming {{type|Ice}}. In adition to this, some Pokémon are known to only live on individual islands, due to each island's subclimates. This has also affected some Pokémon, such as {{p|Oricorio}}, who are known to change their form depending on the type of [[nectar]] and flora present on the island its found in. [[Vast Poni Canyon]], [[Blush Mountain]], [[Lush Jungle]] and [[Mount Lanakila]] are locations which can induce certain Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]].<br /> <br /> What has added to this diversity is also the inclusion of Pokémon being brought over from other regions, however this had lead to the issue of multiple {{wp|invasive species}}, such as Alolan {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Gumshoos}}. The rare phenomena known as [[Ultra Wormhole|Ultra Wormholes]] infrequently appear throughout Alola, causing a disruption of non-native Pokémon known as [[Ultra Beast|Ultra Beasts]] to appear, harming the peace and wildlife. These wormholes, which link to other [[Dimension|dimensions]], are known to pour [[Z-Power]] into the region, which has allowed some Pokémon to enlarge in size and creating the [[Totem Pokémon]] found at trial sites.<br /> <br /> Alola is also known to be rather lush in greenery, being rich in vegatation and flora. Have multiple tropically diverse trees and flowers, with each island having different types of plants not found in the others. For example, the flowers that Oricorio use for food come in colors correspnding to the island's name; with Mememele Island containing a [[Melemele Meadow|meadow]] with yellow flowers. While each island has its own plants, they share many similarties too, with many [[Berry tree|Berry Trees]] used for harvesting berries being found. [[Alola Route 2|Route 2]] in particular even has a [[Berry fields (Alola)|Berry field]]. These Berry Trees often drop different types of berries, to which Pokémon like Crabrawler feed from.<br /> <br /> Poké Pelago has ecology that differs from Alola's main four islands, but is still environmentally tropical. Here, [[Poké Bean|Poké Beans]] naturally grow, and can be given to Pokémon as a form of delicacy. Wild Pokémon are known to appear on these islands, being attracted to the Poké Beans and Berries that may grow on the islands. Similarly, Exeggutor Island appears to be environmentally different based on version, in Sun and Moon; it appears to be more dry and earthy, matching mainland Poni Island; while in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Exeggutor Island is much more lush and green, filled with plant life. It is also unihabited by people.<br /> <br /> ===Demographics===<br /> The Alola region has a total population of 1005{{sup/7|USUM}}, including all towns, cities, and other areas. Since its introduction in [[Generation VII]], it has been the second largest region by population.<br /> <br /> ===Notable locations===<br /> Alola has nine cities and towns, a big avenue and a [[Pokémon League (Alola)|Pokémon League]]. Like in [[Unova]] and [[Kalos]], the routes of Alola start counting again from 1, likely to represent its geographical isolation from the original four regions. There are 17 routes in total, although there are many other locations in the form of a route that in this region are named differently, such as [[Akala Outskirts]] or [[Poni Grove]].<br /> <br /> ====Settlements====<br /> {|style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{alola color dark}}; {{roundy|5px}}; border: 2px solid #{{alola color}}&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;color:#FFF&quot;<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{alola color}}; {{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | Map<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{alola color}}&quot; | Name<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{alola color}}&quot; | Population<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{alola color}}; {{roundytr|5px}}&quot; | Description<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | [[File:Iki Town SM.png|100px]]<br /> | [[Iki Town]]<br /> | 18{{sup/7|SM}} 19{{sup/7|USUM}}<br /> | An old town where traditions have been passed on for generations.

<p>Kinkingvolcano: /* Entering Reverse Mode */</p> <hr /> <div>{{search|state Shadow Pokémon enter in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|its equivalent in [[Pokémon Colosseum]]|Hyper Mode}}<br /> ----<br /> {{incomplete|needs=How much damage a Reverse Mode Pokémon deals to itself (is it the same as confusion damage?)}}<br /> [[File:Reverse Mode.png|thumb|250px|An {{p|Articuno}} entering Reverse Mode]]<br /> '''Reverse Mode''' (Japanese: '''リバース{{tt|状態|じょうたい}}''' ''Reverse State'') is a condition [[Shadow Pokémon]] will sometimes enter after using a move during [[Pokémon battle]] in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. It is the counterpart to [[Hyper Mode]] from Pokémon Colosseum.<br /> <br /> A Pokémon may be [[purification|purified]] even when in Reverse Mode.<br /> <br /> ==Entering Reverse Mode==<br /> A Pokémon may enter Reverse Mode after a [[Shadow move]] is used (even if it was not used by the Shadow Pokémon itself). While a Pokémon is in Reverse Mode, its status meter turns red and black, and an aura of the same color will appear around the Pokémon, presumably seen with the [[Aura Reader]].<br /> <br /> Pokémon remain in Reverse Mode even after the battle ends.<br /> <br /> ==Effects of Reverse Mode==<br /> *During every turn a Shadow Pokémon is in Reverse Mode, it will deal damage to itself at the end of the turn.<br /> *[[Item]]s cannot be used on a Pokémon in Reverse Mode, except [[Scent]]s.<br /> <br /> Unlike [[Hyper Mode]], Reverse Mode does not increase the [[critical hit]] ratio of {{m|Shadow Rush}} or cause any effects of [[Obedience|disobedience]]. Also, its activation does not use up a Pokémon's turn.<br /> <br /> ==Ending Reverse Mode==<br /> Reverse Mode can be ended by either {{DL|Pokémon battle|call}}ing to a Pokémon in battle or by using a [[Scent]] on it. Doing this will &quot;open the door to its heart&quot; a bit and bring it closer to being [[Purification|purified]].<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{langtable|color={{shadow color light}}|bordercolor={{shadow color}}<br /> |fr=Mode Retour<br /> |de=Kontra-Modus<br /> |it=Stato Reflex<br /> |es=Retroestado}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> {{Project Games notice|game mechanic}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon XD]]<br /> [[Category:Game mechanics]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Crypto-Pokémon#Furyo- und Kontra-Modus]]<br /> [[es:Retroestado]]<br /> [[fr:Mode Retour]]<br /> [[it:Stato Reflex]]<br /> [[ja:リバース状態]]</div>
