** Also, {{spoiler| when the player delves into the Great Crater of Paldea, it is revealed that the Legendary Pokemon he befriended at the start of the game - Koraidon or Miraidon, depending on which game you are playing - has a Rival of its own, a stronger, slightly higher-level member of its species. The reason it was hurt when the trainer found it was due to a fight between it and this rival, and supposedly, the Professor was killed attempting to stop them from fighting. When it finally gets a chance at a rematch with this Rival, the point is driven home quickly - the first move the stronger one makes is always Taunt, as if it is daring the younger Pokemon to fight it again.}}
* [[Salaryman]]: Larry is a salaryman who works multiple jobs, is overworked, and dresses the part.
* [[Sentient Vehicle]]: "SapientSentient" is debatable, much like Pokémon in general, but Cyclizar is a Pokémon that can be ridden by its trainer the way one would ride a motorcycle, and according to PokéDex lore, humans in the Paldea region have been using them this way for 10,000 years; there is a reason Pokémon Centers in this game look like gas stations. Additional lore claims a rider's body heat "lifts the Pokémon's spirit", suggesting a semi-symbiotic relationship with humans. It is strongly hinted that Legendary Pokémon Koraidon and Miraidon (who Cyclizar vaguely resembles and are used as mounts by the protagonist) are related to Cyclizar, but Cyclizar doesn't seem to have a way to evolve into either (it doesn't evolve at all) and GameFreak has yet to confirm anything on the subject.
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: The Ruinous Treasures. The stories don’t stop the history teacher from prodding their student, the player, to break their seals and release them.
* [[Spot the Impostor]]: Both Ditto and Zorua hide among wild Pokemon by using their abilities to shapeshift. However, one way to tell which is which is out of character behavior. For example Persian, Primeape, and Vigoroth (who all share the same habitat as the two imposters) are aggressive Pokemon who will always attack the trainer. Zorua, however, is a shy Pokemon who usually flees from the trainer, while Ditto is a curious one who often stares quizzically at the trainer. Thus, should any of these aggressive Pokemon act like this, it is likely the "imposter" Pokemon in disguise.
