Pokémon Sun and Moon/The Island Challenge

The Island Challenge replaces gyms in Sun and Moon: it is a rite of passage in Alola, that involves traveling to each of the four islands of the region: Melemele Island, Akala Island, Poni Island, and Ula'Ula Island.

It is also necessary to complete a trial, led by Alola's seven trial captains. Each trial involves a special challenge, followed by a strong Totem Pokémon. Once the Totem is defeated, the trial is considered to be finished. Once all trials on a particular island are finished, you must battle the Island Kahuna, a strong trainer, in order to progress to the next island.
