A '''Trial Captain''' (Japanese: '''キャプテン''' ''Captain'') is a [[Human|person]] who designs and presides over a certain [[island challenge]] trial and gives guidance to participating {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. All of the Trial Captains have previously completed their own island challenge a few years prior. They retire from their position when they turn 20.<ref>[[Mallow/Quotes#Pokémon Sun and Moon|Mallow]]: "''I mean, we have to move on from being captains when we turn 20 anyway.''" ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]])</ref> Like [[Gym Leader]]s, they [[Type expert|specialize]] in certain [[type]]s of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. They can be identified by the flower-shaped adornment they wear someplace on their bodies, each with a different colored jewel to represent their specialized type. There are six{{sup/7|SM}}/seven{{sup/7|USUM}} Trial Captains who each preside over a trial in the island challenge, although as shown by the [[Vast Poni Canyon]] trial in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, a trial can exist in a functional form without a Captain to preside over it.

Normally, Captains are chosen by the island's [[Island kahuna|kahuna]]. However, in special circumstances, they may be chosen by the previous Captain, as was the case when [[Molayne]] chose [[Sophocles]] to succeed him after retiring.
