In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the island challenge is a way for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to obtain [[Z-Crystal]]s, and are said to have been created in order to raise Trainers to love and protect the islands of [[Alola]] as well as the [[Human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who inhabit them, as explained in ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]''. The challenges are made up of lesser trials which must be passed before challenging the [[Island Kahuna|island kahuna]] in a grand trial. These trials are not presided by [[Trial Captain]]s, and trialgoers are able to freely challenge a [[Totem Pokémon]] without having someone providing guidance or supervising them. Most Totem Pokémon are said to follow the lead of their island's {{an|Guardian deities|guardian deity}}.

All trials seen so far work similarly to the [[Vast Poni Canyon]] trial from the {{pkmn|games}}, with {{pkmn|Trainer}}s being rewarded by the Totem Pokémon itself if successful in {{pkmn|battle}}. However, [[Hala]] contradicts this by noting that it is rare for a Totem Pokémon to directly give the Z-Crystal to the Trainer themselves. Another difference lies in the fact that completing all trials in an island is not required for a battle with the island kahuna; Trainers will earn the right to face off against a kahuna after completing just one trial.

The island challenge debuted in the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. In ''[[PASM03|Pokémon Move Specialist Professor Kukui]]'', [[Hala]], [[Olivia]], and [[Nanu]] orchestrated a tournament to be held at an [[Iki Town]] festival. The winner of the tournament would be awarded an island challenge amulet and be given the task of doing the island challenge in order to calm the [[guardian deities]], who had been angered by something. In ''[[PASM07|The Final Match and a Surprising Finale!]]'', {{adv|Sun}} won the tournament and was awarded the amulet as the grand prize.

Sun was given his first trial by [[Lana]], and was tasked with defeating the totem of [[Brooklet Hill]], a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Wishiwashi|School Form]] {{p|Wishiwashi}}. Eventually, he completed the trial by defeating the lead Wishiwashi, causing it to revert back into its component Solo Form Wishiwashi.
