Mallow (Japanese: マオ Mao) is the Trial Captain of Lush Jungle, which is located on Akala Island. She specializes in Grass-type Pokémon.

In the games

Mallow is an energetic girl who loves cooking, and but her sense of taste can be peculiar.

The player first meets Mallow alongside Island Kahuna Olivia upon arriving in Heahea City. Her trial is the last the player undergoes before challenging the Kahuna. In the trial of Lush Jungle, Mallow give the player a Forage Bag and asks the player to gather four ingredients; a Tiny Mushroom, a Mago Berry, a Miracle Seed, and a Revival Herb. After the ingredients are gathered, Mallow will call over Lana and Kiawe, who will provide cooking supplies. Mallow asks the player to pound the ingredients together, which she then makes into a meal, which attracts the trial's Totem Pokémon, Lurantis.

After defeating Olivia, the player can visit the second floor of a restaurant in Konikoni City, where Mallow is in her room. Mallow will go to the Lush Jungle for a battle, but after she leaves, her older brother asks the player to ask Mallow to look for his Wimpod. Upon arriving in the jungle, Mallow explains that Wimpod was gathering ingredients for the restaurant her family owns before challenging the player. After the battle, Mallow discusses her future and her plans to take over her family business. She leaves after realizing she needs to bring back her brother's Pokémon.
