The Ruins of Conflict (Japanese: 戦の遺跡Ruins of Conflict) are a location on Melemele Island in Alola, located north of the Plank Bridge on Mahalo Trail.
The Ruins of Conflict are where the guardian deity of Melemele Island, Tapu Koko, can be found. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, during the denouement, after the player first enters the Hall of Fame, they visit the ruins with Lillie and challenge Tapu Koko to a battle. If the player defeats or flees from Tapu Koko, they may return to the ruins after the credits roll to challenge it again, without needing to defeat the Elite Four again. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, this does not occur, and Tapu Koko can only be encountered and battled during the post-game.

The Ruins of Conflict first appeared in Going Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island. Gladion traveled there in order to meet with Tapu Koko, only to find Guzma, who informed him that Tapu Koko wasn't there. Guzma then offered Gladion a position as an enforcer for Team Skull after having seen his skills at the Iki Town festival tournament. After Gladion accepted the offer, the two headed off to Team Skull's hideout.
