SOS Battle
An SOS Battle (Japanese: 乱入バトル Intruder Battle) is a type of Pokémon battle in the Generation VII games, introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. An SOS Battle is a battle where a wild Pokémon calls out to allies for help, turning a normal one-on-one wild battle into a two-on-one battle. Once the player clears the first trial with Ilima at Verdant Cavern, any battle with a wild Pokémon can turn into an SOS Battle. All Totem Pokémon also battle the player in SOS Battles.
In a battle with a wild Pokémon, at the end of both Pokémon's turns, there is a random chance that the wild Pokémon may call for help. Sometimes no ally will show up in response to a call. Most Pokémon can summon allies of the same species, but some can summon other Pokémon in their family, and some can summon other unrelated Pokémon.
The chances of a Pokémon calling in an ally at the end of a turn are currently unkown. There are, however, a few known ways to increase the chances of an ally being called. These include your Pokémon having the ability Intimidate, using an Adrenaline Orb.
