The '''island challenge''' (Japanese: '''島めぐり''' ''island-visiting'') is a rite of passage for burgeoning [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the [[Alola]] [[region]]. Trainers can partake in these rites once they turn 11.<ref>[[Hala/Quotes|Hala]]: "''The island challenge Kukui spoke of... It is a journey to overcome your own limitations, as you travel to the far corners of Alola and meet with others along the path. It is the great adventure that children in the Alola region embark upon, along with their Pokémon, once they reach 11 years of age!''" ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])</ref> The island challenge involves traveling through each of the four major islands of Alola and completing various '''trials''' (Japanese: '''試練''' ''trial'') on each. The goal of those taking the island challenge is to become the strongest Trainer, known as the island challenge champion.

Participants in the island challenge are given an island challenge amulet to identify them. These participants are called '''trial-goers'''. The island challenge consists of a number of trials on each of the Alola region's four islands, with each usually headed by a [[Trial Captain]]. Trials are not limited to [[Pokémon battle]]s; they may involve finding designated [[item]]s or a test of knowledge, among other tasks. Trials are all difficult tasks that require Trainers to prove themselves. To complete the trial, the Trainer must defeat a [[Totem Pokémon]] in an [[SOS Battle]], which allows the Totem Pokémon to call an ally Pokémon to assist them. Some Totem Pokémon can call more than one ally. It is stated that there are 7{{sup/7|SM}}/8{{sup/7|USUM}} trials active at any given time, though not all of them may be presided over by a Trial Captain.
