Starter Pokemon Rowlet
Rowlet, the grass/flying type, can attack without making a sound! It flies silently through the skies, drawing near to its opponent without being noticed, and then lashing out with powerful kicks. It can also attack from a distance using the razor-sharp leaves that form part of its feathers.
Visit the Alola Region
Your new adventure in Pokemon Sun takes place on an archipelago of tropical islands. Four nature-filled islands and one man-made island comprise the Alola region. The Alola region is also known as a resort area. Tourists flock to it from all over the world! Alola is surrounded by the sea. It has a diverse ecology made up of Pokemon that have lived as natives of the Alola region for generations, along with Pokemon that have more recently arrived in Alola from other regions.
The Island Challenge
One aspect of the unique culture that has developed in the Alola region is the island challenge, an adventurous rite that involves traveling through each of the four islands. This event helps young people grow into fine Pokemon Trainers. As the main character of Pokemon Sun, you yourself are destined to attempt this island challenge.
Island Challenge Trials
To complete the island challenge, young trial-goers must overcome the trials in store on each of the four islands. These trials are not limited to battling with Pokemon. They take a variety of forms, such as finding items or completing tests of knowledge. You will not be able to accomplish them with ordinary methods!
Grand Trials
The final trial on each island is called the grand trial. It is a Pokemon battle against the kahuna who leads that island. If a trial-goer succeeds in clearing this grand trial, he or she will be publicly recognized as having cleared all of the island’s trials and can move on to the next island.
Introducing Z-Moves
Z-Moves are moves of great power that can only be used once per battle. When the Trainer and Pokemon's wishes resonate with each other, and both release their full power together-the result is the explosive force of a Z-Move! All Pokemon can use Z-Moves to perform mightily in battle!
