The Pokémon League

Pokémon League, Main Chamber

The Pokémon League is Alola's final, toughest trial. The most powerful Trainer in the region is about to be decided!

Main Chamber

The main chamber is shaped like a half-circle with four walkways, each leading to a separate chamber. Approach the central platform and Kukui explains the challenge. Every Pokémon League in every region includes four powerful Trainers called the Elite Four, and now Alola has its own, as well. Challengers must defeat each of the four to advance, and cannot leave unless they are defeated or give up. These elite Trainers may be challenged in any order.

Fighting Chamber

Hala's Chamber

The left-most path leads to kahuna Hala, the Fighting-type specialist. Two fists made of light appear from the pedestal behind him and a barrier seals the arena. Flying-, Psychic-, and Fairy-type attacks are best, but avoid using Psychic Pokémon as they tend to have lower physical Defense and most of Hala's Pokémon can strike back with Dark-type moves. His Crabominable holds a Fightinium Z, allowing it to upgrade its Close Combat move into All-Out Pummeling.

Elite Four Hala Pokémon League Sun and Moon Reward: $11,000 Type: Fighting Unknown Ability: Thick Fat Held item: None Hariyama♂ Lv.54 Fake Out Normal Physical   --       Close Combat Fighting Physical   --       Knock Off Dark Physical   --       Curse Unknown Status   --       Type: Fighting Unknown Ability: Anger Point Held item: None Primeape♂ Lv.54 Cross Chop Fighting Physical   --       Outrage Dragon Physical   --       Punishment Dark Physical   --       Pursuit Dark Physical   --       Types: Normal Fighting Ability: Fluffy Held item: None Bewear♂ Lv.54 Hammer Arm Fighting Physical   --       Brutal Swing Dark Physical   --       Curse Unknown Status   --       Curse Unknown Status   --       Types: Water Fighting Ability: Water Absorb Held item: None Poliwrath♂ Lv.54 Waterfall Water Physical   --       Submission Fighting Physical   --       Curse Unknown Status   --       Curse Unknown Status   --       Types: Fighting Ice Ability: Iron Fist Held item: Fightinium Z Crabominable♂ Lv.55 Ice Hammer Ice Physical   --       Close Combat Fighting Physical   --       Curse Unknown Status   --       Curse Unknown Status   --

When the battle ends, the platform behind Hala glows in a rainbow-colored light. Stepping on this platform warps you back to the main chamber, just outside his door. The pathway outside lights up, leading to similar platform near the main entrance.

Rock Chamber

Olivia's Chamber

The center-left path leads to kahuna Olivia, the Rock-type specialist. Two cliff-like structures made of light emerge from the pedestal behind her and a barrier seals the arena. Ground attacks will deal serious damage to each of her Pokémon, though Grass, Fighting, and Steel moves are also effective. Olivia can fortify her team with Carbink's Reflect, which increases her active Pokémon's Defense for five turns, and Probopass' Sandstorm, which boosts the Special Defense of all Rock Pokémon by 50% for its duration. Her Lycanroc holds a Rockium Z, allowing it to upgrade its Stone Edge move into Continental Crush.

Elite Four Olivia Pokémon League Sun and Moon Reward: $11,000 Types: Water Rock Ability: Swift Swim Held item: None Relicanth♂ Lv.54 Hydro Pump Water Special   --       Ancient Power Rock Special   --       Yawn Normal Status   --       Curse Unknown Status   --       Types: Rock Fairy Ability: Clear Body Held item: None Carbink Lv.54 Power Gem Rock Special   --       Moonblast Fairy Special   --       Reflect Psychic Status   --       Curse Unknown Status   --       Types: Rock Electric Ability: Sturdy Held item: None Golem♀ Lv.54 Thunder Punch Electric Physical   --       Rock Blast Rock Physical   --       Steamroller Bug Physical   --       Curse Unknown Status   --       Types: Rock Steel Ability: Sturdy Held item: None Probopass♀ Lv.54 Earth Power Ground Special   --       Power Gem Rock Special   --       Thunder Wave Electric Status   --       Sandstorm Rock Status   --       Type: Rock Unknown Ability: Keen Eye Held item: Rockium Z Lycanroc♂ Lv.55 Crunch Dark Physical   --       Stone Edge Rock Physical   --       Counter Fighting Physical   --       Rock Climb Normal Physical   --

When the battle ends, the platform behind Olivia glows in a rainbow-colored light. Stepping on this platform warps you back to the main chamber, just outside her door. The pathway outside lights up, leading to similar platform near the main entrance.

Ghost Chamber

Acerola's Chamber

The center-right path leads to captain Acerola, the Ghost-type specialist. Two ghastly, purple flames emerge from the pedestal behind her and a barrier seals the arena. It turns out that Acerola is here in place of Nanu, who refused the invitation for the position. Dark-type attacks are best for most of her Pokémon, but Fire and Ice moves are also useful. Her Sableye's rare Dark/Ghost typing means that it only sustains serious damage from Fairy moves. Her Palossand holds a Ghostium Z, allowing it to upgrade its Shadow Ball move into Never-Ending Nightmare.

Elite Four Acerola Pokémon League Sun and Moon Reward: $11,000 Types: Dark Ghost Ability: Keen Eye Held item: None Sableye♀ Lv.54 Shadow Claw Ghost Physical   --       Zen Headbutt Psychic Physical   --       Confuse Ray Ghost Status   --       Fake Out Normal Physical   --       Types: Ghost Flying Ability: Aftermath Held item: None Drifblim♀ Lv.54 Ominous Wind Ghost Special   --       Focus Energy Normal Status   --       Amnesia Psychic Status   --       Baton Pass Normal Status   --       Types: Ghost Grass Ability: Steelworker Held item: None Dhelmise Lv.54 Slam Normal Physical   --       Shadow Ball Ghost Special   --       Energy Ball Grass Special   --       Whirlpool Water Special   --       Types: Ice Ghost Ability: Snow Cloak Held item: None Froslass♀ Lv.54 Blizzard Ice Special   --       Shadow Ball Ghost Special   --       Confuse Ray Ghost Status   --       Ice Shard Ice Physical   --       Types: Ghost Ground Ability: Water Compaction Held item: Ghostium Z Palossand♀ Lv.55 Shadow Ball Ghost Special   --       Earth Power Ground Special   --       Giga Drain Grass Special   --       Iron Defense Steel Status   --

When the battle ends, the platform behind Acerola glows in a rainbow-colored light. Stepping on this platform warps you back to the main chamber, just outside her door. The pathway outside lights up, leading to similar platform near the main entrance.

Flying Chamber

Kahili's Chamber

The right-most path leads to Kahili, a previous island challenge champion and Flying-type specialist. Two large, green wings made of light emerge from the pedestal behind her and a barrier seals the arena. Electric-type attacks are the most effective here, but Fire moves work well on Skarmory and Rock moves deal serious damage to the rest of her team. Her Toucannon holds a Flyinium Z, allowing it to upgrade its Beak Blast move into Supersonic Skystrike.

Elite Four Kahili Pokémon League Sun and Moon Reward: $11,000 Types: Steel Flying Ability: Sturdy Held item: None Skarmory♂ Lv.54 Slash Normal Physical   --       Steel Wing Steel Physical   --       Feint Normal Physical   --       Spikes Ground Status   --       Types: Poison Flying Ability: Inner Focus Held item: None Crobat♂ Lv.54 Air Slash Flying Special   --       Swift Normal Special   --       Supersonic Normal Status   --       Poison Fang Poison Physical   --       Types: Fire Flying Ability: Dancer Held item: None Oricorio♀ Lv.54 Revelation Dance Fire Special   --       Teeter Dance Normal Status   --       Air Slash Flying Special   --       Feather Dance Flying Status   --       Types: Dark Flying Ability: Big Pecks Held item: None Mandibuzz♀ Lv.54 Bone Rush Ground Physical   --       Brave Bird Flying Physical   --       Punishment Dark Physical   --       Flatter Dark Status   --       Types: Normal Flying Ability: Skill Link Held item: Flyinium Z Toucannon♂ Lv.55 Bullet Seed Grass Physical   --       Rock Blast Rock Physical   --       Beak Blast Flying Physical   --       Screech Normal Status   --

When the battle ends, the platform behind Kahili glows in a rainbow-colored light. Stepping on this platform warps you back to the main chamber, just outside her door. The pathway outside lights up, leading to similar platform near the main entrance.

Champion's Chamber

Champion's Chamber

With all four elite Trainers defeated, the platform in the main chamber begins to glow in a rainbow-colored light. Step on this platform to be transported to the Champion's chamber. Climb the stairway to the battlefield to find... an empty throne? Inspect the chair to take a seat, and Kukui appears. There is one more person to battle in order to claim the Champion title, and of course it would be the professor! He is here to ensure your worthiness for the role and to celebrate the establishment of Alola's new Pokémon League.

VS Kukui

The professor has a well-rounded team with several different elemental types. Fighting moves work well against his Lycanroc, Magnezone, and Snorlax. Rock moves are useful against his Ninetales and Braviary. Fire-, Water-, and Ground-type attacks are also effective against his team. His final Pokémon varies based on the first Pokémon you chose, and holds the Z-Crystal that allows it to attack with Inferno Overdrive, Hydro Vortex, or Bloom Doom.

When the dust settles, Kukui congratulates you on becoming the first-ever Champion of the Alola region! The professor takes a moment to record this hard-fought achievement for posterity, and you receive the Island Challenge Champion stamp for your Trainer Passport. This stamp ensures that all Pokémon will obey your every command. The four elite Trainers enter the chamber to congratulate you as well, and warn that as the new Champion, everyone will be aiming for your title. Hala suggests a celebration so grand that even the sun and moon take notice, then you and Kukui travel back to Iki Town.
