A '''Trial Captain''' (Japanese: '''キャプテン''' ''Captain''), usually localized as simply '''captain''', is someone who designs and presides over a certain [[island challenge]] trial and gives guidance to participating {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and trial-goers. 

Trial Captains have previously completed their own island's challenge before becoming a captain,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161118233734/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/captains/|Pokémon Sun and Moon official website]: "Each trial has a captain, whose role is to provide guidance to trial-goers. All of the captains are Trainers who '''undertook trials in their own island challenge''' a few years earlier."</ref> and they retire from their position when they turn 20.<ref>[[Mallow/Quotes#Pokémon Sun and Moon|Mallow]]: "''I mean, we have to move on from being captains when we turn 20 anyway.''" ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]])</ref> Mechanically, they can be seen as the [[Alola]]n equivalent to [[Gym Leader]]s, and like them, they [[Type expert|specialize]] in certain [[type]]s of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Trial Captains can be identified by the flower-shaped adornment they wear someplace on their bodies, each with a different colored jewel to represent their specialized type. Unlike Gym Leaders, Trial Captains are not often the ones fought, but rather, the [[Totem Pokémon]] found at the end of a trial. Trial Captains are known to be the ones to care for and train their respective Totem Pokémon, as is the case with [[Lana]], training the {{p|Wishiwashi}} that reside in [[Brooklet Hill]]. There are 6{{sup/7|SM}} or 7{{sup/7|USUM}} Trial Captains who each preside over a trial site in the island challenge, although as shown by the [[Vast Poni Canyon]] trial in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, a trial can exist in a functional form without a captain to preside over it. 

Normally, captains are chosen by the island's [[Island kahuna|kahuna]]. However, in special circumstances, they may be chosen by the previous captain, as was the case when [[Molayne]] chose [[Sophocles]] to succeed him after retiring. Like some Gym Leaders, many Trial Captains are seen to have secondary professions or hobbies seen outside their usual job. Examples include [[Mallow]], who works at her family's restaurant and [[Mina]], who is a painter.

All Trial Captains keep their Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s, with the exception of [[Lana]], who uses [[Net Ball]]s instead. They are part of the '''Captain''' {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}.

==Terminology==
In promotional materials such as trailers for {{g|Sun and Moon}} and the official Sun and Moon website, captains are referred to as "Trial Captains". Otherwise, they are always referred to simply as "captains". In the [[core series]] games, the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} "Captain" is always capitalized. In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Mallow]] refers to herself, [[Lana]], and [[Kiawe]] all as "Trial Captains" across multiple languages.

In Japanese, the title has always been referred to as キャプテン ''Captain'', with no descriptor or usage of the word "trial".

[[Ilima]]'s mother, notes that he gained the title of "captainship" through his skill.<ref> [[Ilima]]'s mother: ''"Ilima gained the captainship because he exudes pure skill."'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref> This is the only time "captainship" has been used in English in any title.

==Pokémon and type usage==
Like their [[Gym Leader]] and [[island kahuna]] counterparts, their Pokémon and type usage can rely on numerous factors. Like them, captains also specialize in a singular Pokémon [[type]]. This type can be seen in the trial and [[Totem Pokémon]] that they care for, and not just used in battle when they're off duty.

The types they [[Type expert|specialize]] in is often attributed to them based on their trial's geography or the hobby or job the captain may have. For example, [[Sophocles]], who works in the [[Hokulani Observatory]], enjoys studying electronics and inventions, so his trial tests the player in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. The Totem Pokémon that he cares for, {{p|Vikavolt}}{{sup/7|SM}} or {{p|Togedemaru}}{{sup/7|USUM}}, is also of that type. Captain [[Lana]] of [[Brooklet Hill]], who is an avid fisher, had raised the Totem Wishiwashi{{sup/7|SM}} all on her own.

==In the core series games==
[[File:SM Prerelease trial start.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Elio}} starting [[Lana]]'s [[Island challenge|trial]]]]
'''Captain''' (Japanese: '''キャプテン''' ''Captain'') is the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} given for when they are battled. Unlike Gym Leaders and island kahuna, battling Captains in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon is not always mandatory to complete the story, and are often done as side tasks and missions when the player comes back to them at a later point. During the story, the player will have to carry out the trial that the captain had set up for them to finish. The captain themselves are intended to help guide trial goers through the trial. Some captains may actively be a part of the trial themselves or a part of another's trial, such as Mallow, Kiawe and Lana all took part of the [[Lush Jungle]] trial, helping Mallow create the "Mallow Special."

Captains do however participate in battle, for example, [[Ilima]] will ask the player for a battle before taking their trial in [[Verdant Cavern]], while [[Mina]] will ask for a battle in the Looker Episode of Sun and Moon, neither of which are a part of any trial. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Mina's trial consists of meeting and battling several of the captains who's trials the player has previous completed. All Trial Captains are able to be battled against in the [[Generation VII]] titles at least once either as part of the story, or as side quest. All Captains will use a [[Z-Crystal]] of their respective type at least once.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Captains will use ''Battle! (Trainer)'' from {{g|Sun and Moon}}, instead of the Trainer battle theme used in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

Mina appears in {{LGPE}} at [[Vermilion City]] after her ship, the [[S.S. Anne]], has taken off without her. It is unknown whether or not she is a captain during this time, as she never mentions trials or the island challenge. Mina can be battled once a day after her initial fight with the player, and will offer a [[Bottle Cap]] after every defeat.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
All captains, aside from [[Ilima]], have appeared in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Some of them appear within the [[PML Arc]] as part of the game's Main Story. {{mas|Lana}}, {{mas|Acerola}}, and {{mas|Mina}} all play a significant role in the [[Alola]] chapter of the [[Villain Arc]].

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', trial-goers can freely challenge a [[Totem Pokémon]] without having someone to supervise them. As a result, trials are not presided by Trial Captains. However, {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, and {{an|Mallow}} have appeared as students of the [[Pokémon School]] and {{ashcl|classmates}} of {{Ash}}. They all debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''.

[[Ilima]] debuted in ''[[SM065|Turning Heads and Training Hard!]]'' as a graduate of the Pokémon School. He is mentioned to have participated in the [[Kalos League]] and is capable of wielding [[Mega Evolution]].

[[Acerola]] debuted in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'' as a girl living in a library on [[Ula'ula Island]]. Like in the {{pkmn|games}}, she has a close relationship with [[Nanu]]. She also provided support for Ash with his Ula'ula Island grand trial.

[[Mina]] debuted in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'' as a wandering artist. With the assistance of her {{p|Ribombee}}, Mina can detect the emotions of both humans and Pokémon.

All the characters that serve as captains in the games participated in the [[Alola League]] [[Manalo Conference]], with Kiawe faring the best out of them and landing in the Top 4.

===GOTCHA!===
Along with related {{al|Pokémon League}} [[type expert]]s, all of the Trial Captains appear in the [[GOTCHA!]] music video.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Mallow Lana Kiawe Horizon.png|thumb|250px|The [[Akala Island]] captains in [[Pokémon Horizon]]]]
[[Lana]], [[Kiawe]], and [[Mallow]] are the first Trial Captains to appear in [[Pokémon Adventures]], debuting in ''[[PASM08|Going Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island]]''. The three are initially reluctant to recognize {{adv|Sun}} as a trialgoer, but soon Sun and Kiawe bond with each other upon learning that both of them have the same goal of saving [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] for a certain purpose. Lana, still unconvinced, leads Sun to [[Brooklet Hill]] for her trial. Eventually Sun manages to complete Lana's trial by calming the local [[Totem Pokémon]], earning her respect.

While Sun and Lana travel to Brooklet Hill, {{adv|Moon}} and Mallow head to [[Lush Jungle]] to find the special [[Mirage Berry]] meant to be delivered for the [[guardian deities]] of Alola. After witnessing a {{p|Xurkitree}} battling {{p|Tapu Lele}} in the sky above the forest, the two start searching for the Mirage Berry, which they eventually find with the help of the local [[wild Pokémon]].

Later, after [[Professor Kukui]]'s boat is attacked by a wild {{p|Bruxish}}, Sun and Moon are saved and brought to the [[Aether House]], where they meet Trial Captain [[Acerola]], who tasks Sun with clearing her trial at the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}. Sun eventually clears the trial by befriending the local Totem Pokémon, a {{p|Mimikyu}}, which he even {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} and adds to his [[party|team]].

[[Ilima]], the sole Trial Captain of [[Melemele Island]], later joins Acerola, the Trial Captains of Akala, and [[Hau]] in traveling to [[Po Town]] to talk with [[Team Skull]]. However, when they arrive at Team Skull's base, they are surrounded and attacked by a group of [[Ultra Beast]]s, which are soon revealed to have been summoned by a {{p|Cosmog}} in [[Guzma]]'s possession. The Ultra Beasts eventually break out of Po Town and start rampaging around [[Ula'ula Island]], forcing [[Molayne]] and [[Sophocles]] to start evacuating people to the [[Hokulani Observatory]].

Six months after Ultra Beasts had started to appear in Alola, [[Mina]], the sole Trial Captain of [[Poni Island]], finally answers the call to join the other captains and joins them on [[Exeggutor Island]]. Later, after the Trial Captains finish their {{pkmn|training}} on Exeggutor Island, they move to Hokulani Observatory, from which they detect an [[Ultra Wormhole]] opening above [[Mount Lanakila]]. When they attempt to travel there to investigate, they are attacked by an army of Ultra Beasts commanded by {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s. By combining their [[Z-Move]]s, the Trial Captains are able to defeat all the Ultra Beasts.

Lana, Mallow, and Kiawe appeared in a cameo in ''[[HOR07|Attack on the Headquarters]]''.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese, Korean, and Italian terms for Trial Captains are the same as their respective terms for [[warden]]s.
* The four-sided clover [[origin mark]] used to denote Pokémon originating from Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon resembles the flower-shaped adornment that each Trial Captain uses to identify themselves.
