=== History === | |||
Ride Pokémon are a common means of travel in Alola and different Ride Pokémon have strengths suiting them to different tasks. An institution called '''Alola Transit''' appears to be involved in the administration of Ride Pokémon. | |||
Anyone can summon a Ride Pokémon if they have a '''Ride Pager''' (Japanese: '''ライドギア''' ''Ride Gear'') with the desired Pokémon registered to it.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Ride Pokémon functionally take the place of [[HM]]-taught [[field move]]s and certain [[Key Item]]s—like the [[Dowsing Machine]] and the [[Bicycle]]—from past games, and while riding one, the encounter rate per step in tall grass, or while riding across water, may be reduced from the default rate on foot. The Ride Pager can be opened by pressing the Y Button once it is obtained. The player can also tap the icons by the Ride Pokémon to [[feature registration|register]] them to different directions on the Control Pad as a shortcut. It is obtained from [[Hala]] after the player passes his [[island challenge|grand trial]]. | In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Ride Pokémon functionally take the place of [[HM]]-taught [[field move]]s and certain [[Key Item]]s—like the [[Dowsing Machine]] and the [[Bicycle]]—from past games, and while riding one, the encounter rate per step in tall grass, or while riding across water, may be reduced from the default rate on foot.

While riding a Ride Pokémon, the player will wear a special suit known as the '''Riding Wear''' (Japanese: '''ライドウェア''' ''Ride Wear'').

The Riding Wear's appearance differs when riding on a Pokémon that travels on water. Additionally, the designs of both change between Sun and Moon, and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. In Sun and Moon, the Riding Wear's headgear appears to be modeled after {{p|Hawlucha}}. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Riding Wear's headgear appears to be modeled after Shiny Hawlucha. | ||
Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon retains all Ride Pokémon featured in Sun and Moon, as well as introducing a new Ride Pokémon, {{P|Mantine}}, in the form of [[Mantine Surf]]. Unlike the other Ride Pokémon, Mantine is exclusively kept at Island Beaches rather than the specialized [[Poké Ball]]<nowiki/>s included in the Ride Pager, and are used to swim between Alola's four main islands. | |||
