Totem Pokémon
Totem Pokémon (Japanese: ぬしポケモン Leader Pokémon) are special Pokémon that are battled at the end of a particular island challenge trial. These Pokémon are larger than other Pokémon of the same species and are enveloped in a special aura. This aura boosts a specific stat of the Totem Pokémon by a fixed number of stages at the start of the battle. Totem Pokémon are battled in SOS Battles, which allows them to summon an ally to help. Totem Pokémon differ from regular SOS Battles in that their supply of allies is limited, however both the Totem Pokémon and their allies have more advanced AI than wild Pokémon, mirroring Trainer behaviour. They can also come holding specific items, and due to the Island Challenge rules, neither the Totem Pokémon or their allies can be captured.
