Team Skull appears in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}. As revealed by some of their members, Team Skull is composed of misfits who failed the [[island challenge]]. They steal Pokémon from people, but unlike previous villainous teams, they do not have a specific goal other than to cause trouble and acquire enough money to support themselves. In a stark contrast to other villainous teams, they do not pose a serious threat to the wellbeing of Alola and its residents, the majority of whom consider them thuggish nuisances at worst. | Team Skull appears in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}.

Team Skull originated from a group that coalesced around one of Alola's [[Island kahuna| | Team Skull originated from a group that coalesced around one of Alola's [[Island kahuna|kahunas]]. This group provoked the wrath of the four island deities and was struck down. The survivors became the first members of Team Skull. At some point, Team Skull took over [[Po Town]] on [[Ula'ula Island]], driving away the original residents, vandalising the buildings with graffiti and structural damage along with generally preventing others from entering the town and hindering the flow of electricity. | ||
The group is known to highly value kinship - many of the grunts are close friends with each other, the team's admin [[Plumeria]] treats her underlings like a caring older sibling and in return is respected by them for it, and several grunts mock [[Gladion]] for lacking friends in the team and technically not being a true member of Team Skull as hired work. | The group is known to highly value kinship - many of the grunts are close friends with each other, the team's admin [[Plumeria]] treats her underlings like a caring older sibling and in return is respected by them for it, and several grunts mock [[Gladion]] for lacking friends in the team and technically not being a true member of Team Skull as hired work. | ||

At some point, [[Lusamine]] became the secret benefactor of Team Skull, and they, in turn, started to carry out her orders. Not all of the members were aware of her influence - while Plumeria knew that Guzma respected Lusamine as she was the only older figure to acknowledge his strength, Lusamine's estranged son Gladion was only aware that Team Skull was after {{p|Cosmog}} without knowing of their ties to the [[Aether Foundation]] president. Following Team Skull's kidnapping of [[Lillie]] and [[Nebby]], Gladion immediately severed his ties with them and joined with [[Hau]] and the player to infiltrate and rescue them from [[Aether Paradise]]. | At some point, [[Lusamine]] became the secret benefactor of Team Skull, and they, in turn, started to carry out her orders.

After [[Guzma]] is rescued from [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]] by the player, he disbands Team Skull and its members go their separate ways. Guzma returns to his parents' house on [[Melemele Island]], while [[Plumeria]] takes up residence in a camper on {{rt|13|Alola}} and later challenges the Alola {{al|Pokémon League}}. One Grunt becomes an apprentice chef under [[Mallow]] in [[Konikoni City]], while two others in the Po Town Pokémon Center offer a Skull Tank for sale in order for them to make enough money to leave. Others are taken by [[Hala]] to train in [[Iki Town]], deciding to become a rescue team and dubbing themselves "Team Reskull" (Japanese: '''タスカル団''' ''Tasukaru-dan'', literally ''Rescue Gang''). Guzma is one of the former members taken under Hala's wing, but rather to help hone his potential and help him overcome his anger issues. | ====Pokémon Sun and Moon==== | ||

After {{p|Necrozma}} has been stopped, Guzma disbands Team Skull, with most of its Grunts converting into {{tc|Punk Guy}}s and {{tc|Punk Girl|Girls}} in response. Like Plumeria, he takes up residence of Route 13 and challenges the Alola Pokémon League on occasion. "Team Reskull" does not appear in this version of the events. | |||
