Totem Pokémon: Difference between revisions

==In the core series games==

At the start of a battle, Totem Pokémon are enveloped in a special aura which boosts one or more of its [[statistic|stats]] by a fixed number of [[Statistic#Stat modifiers|stages]], this is the same energy used in [[Z-Move]]s, [[Z-Power]]. According to [[Wicke]], their size and aura are a result of being bathed in the energy spilled from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, the same kind that the [[Ultra Beast]]s use to store within their bodies, giving them a similar stat boost. This energy is further revealed in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} to be {{ga|Necrozma}}'s light. Their size and [[weight]] mechanically affect their battles and are not only visual aesthetic, moves such as {{m|Grass Knot}} and {{m|Heavy Slam}} are affected by these weights and {{m|Sky Drop}} will fail against Totem {{p|Araquanid}} and {{p|Kommo-o}}. Totem Pokémon are battled in [[SOS Battle]]s, which allows them to summon an ally to help.

===List of Totem Pokémon===

[[Melemele Island]] has one Totem Pokémon who is governed by by the Captain [[Ilima]] at [[Verdant Cavern]]. The Pokémon here changes based on the game being played, in Sun and Ultra Sun, a {{p|Gumshoos}} will appear as the Totem, while in Moon and Ultra Moon, it is an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}. The Totem Gumshoos and Raticate in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are the only Totem Pokémon that can be battled during the post-game and the only ones that can be rematched.

[[Poni Island]]'s Totem Pokémon count changes based on title played, in Sun and Moon exclusively, it has one, a {{p|Kommo-o}}, who lacks any sort of Trial Captain. [[Mina]] is a Captain who lives in [[Seafolk Village]] and is one of Poni's Captains, but has no respective Totem Pokémon. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, along with Totem Kommo-o who reappars, Poni Island has another Totem Pokémon, a Totem {{p|Ribombee}} who is cared for by Captain Mina.

A Totem {{p|Hakamo-o}} is found exclusively at the trial at [[Ten Carat Hill]] in the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|Sun and Moon Special Demo]]. Similarly to the {{p|Kommo-o}} in the full game's [[Vast Poni Canyon]], it is not accompanied or cared for by a [[Trial Captain]]. Unlike the other Totem Pokémon, the player is rewarded with an [[Electrium Z]], a [[Z-Crystal]] with no relation to the type of the Totem Pokémon.

Totem-sized Pokémon are obtainable variants of the Totem Pokémon found at trial sites. Acting as near replicas the actual Totem Pokémon, they too are larger in height and weight compared to their original species counterparts, affecting the mechanics of some moves (such as {{m|Low Kick}} and {{m|Sky Drop}}). Totem-sized Pokémon can be only obtained in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, where they can be received from [[Samson Oak]] at [[Heahea Beach]] after meeting him for the first time at {{rt|2|Alola}} depending on the number of [[Totem Sticker]]s the player has obtained. The Pokémon obtained are often [[version exclusive]] based on either Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon.

A Totem {{p|Lucario}} appeared in ''[[HOR04|Mastering the Z-Move!]]''.

*In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], in the battle against Totem {{p|Wishiwashi}} at [[Brooklet Hill]], the Totem Pokémon can summon an [[SOS Battle|Ally]] {{p|Alomomola}} which knows {{m|Water Gun}}, but Alomomola [[Game move errors|cannot legitimately have the move]] in any of the games.

*In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}, during the cutscene before Totem Raticate's battle, it cries out Gumshoos's [[cry]] instead of its own cry.

*Compared to their non-Totem counterparts, every Totem Pokémon's weight is increased less than appropriately to its height. If a Pokémon's density were to remain the same between its Totem and non-Totem variants, a Totem Pokémon twice the height should be eight times the weight.

**The Japanese term for Titan Pokémon (Japanese: '''ヌシポケモン''' ''Leader Pokémon'') is fully written in katakana, distinguishing it from Totem Pokémon (Japanese: '''ぬしポケモン''' ''Leader Pokémon''), but the two terms are otherwise identical, being pronounced the same and having the same meaning.
