Pokémon world locations

Vast Poni Canyon (Japanese: ポニの大峡谷 Great Canyon of Poni) is a location on Poni Island in Alola. It connects to the Ancient Poni Path in the south and to the Altar of the Sunne^SUS/Altar of the Moone^MUM. It is the location of a natural trial site, and in Pokémon Sun and Moon, it is also where the player battles Hapu in her grand trial and meets Mina, the sole captain of Poni Island.

The area produces a special magnetic field that allows Magneton, Nosepass, and Charjabug to evolve when leveled up here.

Trial

The trial site is located at the north end of the canyon. The trial begins once the player enters the trial site; they can leave the way they came in at any time, although this will reset the trial. If the player loses the battle against the Totem Pokémon, when they attempt the trial again they will only need to battle the Totem Pokémon; however, if they then leave after this, the trial will be reset. The player cannot use Charizard Glide during the trial.

This is a natural trial that has no Trial Captain, said to be the first ever trial. A tablet at the entrance of the trial site explains the trial. The player proceeds forward through the trial site, being attacked by a wild Jangmo-o and a wild Hakamo-o that leap from up high as the player proceeds toward a Z-Crystal pedestal. If the player tries to proceed out of the passageway behind the pedestal, they will be forced to turn back due to the fear that the Totem Pokémon will attack them from behind. When the player attempts to take the Z-Crystal from the pedestal, they are unable to retrieve the Dragonium Z before being attacked by the trial's Totem Pokémon, a Kommo-o.

In the battle with Totem Kommo-o, it will call Hakamo-o on its first turn, and call Scizor if its HP is below 2/3 (if the ally Hakamo-o has been defeated). If its HP drops below 2/3 before it has a chance to call an ally, it will call Scizor first, then call Hakamo-o at the first opportunity after Scizor has fainted. Once an ally is defeated, Totem Kommo-o cannot call it again.

After completing the trial, the player collects the Dragonium Z from the pedestal.
