Line 20:
** Drampa are an entire ''species'' of [[Badass Grandpa|Badass Grandpas]] ([[Never Mess With Granny|and grandmas]]). These Dragon/Normal Pokémon look and act like affectionate grandfatherly serpents, but if bullies pick on the kids they're friends with? ''They burn down the bully's house.''
* [[Balloon Belly]]: While not a ''proper'' example, Mimikyu's special Z Move (Let's Snuggle Forever) creates this sort of effect by having it trap its enemy under its disguise, and having said disguise's "belly" balloon up to comically huge proportions while the poor schmuck trapped inside gets the crap beaten out of it.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: As usual, female Swimmers have this going on due to the fact that [[Ms. Fanservice|they're beautiful women in bikinis.]] Likewise, Olivia and Plumeria wear outfits that show off their navels, as do the player characters themselves. Though in their case, it's only when they wear the ridiculously expensive Lurantis (female) and Kommo-o (male) outfits.
* [[Bears are Bad News]]: Bewear. These Pokémon aren't knowingly dangerous, but they're gigantic cuddlebugs with enough strength to snap tree trunks with their grip. If a Bewear hugs you, it'll accidentally snap your spine and ''kill'' you. Fittingly, {{spoiler|[[My Beloved Smother|Lusamine]] uses one on her team when you fight her.}}
* [[Big Bad]]: Guzma, leader of Team Skull, who even refers to himself as "Big Bad Guzma" {{spoiler|turns out to NOT be the [[Big Bad]] of the story. That honor goes to Lusamine, the corrupt president of the Aether Foundation.}} In ''Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon'' {{spoiler|Team Rocket's Giovanni, the franchise's original [[Big Bad]], returns as the [[Big Bad]] of the post-game Rainbow Rocket Episode.}}
** [[Bigger Bad]]: Necrozma is the distant source of the main conflict in ''Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon'', {{spoiler|even taking the mantle of [[Big Bad]] away from Lusamine in the climax.}}
Line 54 ⟶ 55:
* [[More Deadly Than the Male]]: Female Salandit. Male ones are useless and never evolve, but the females eventually become Salazzle, a lightning-quick [[Glass Cannon]] of a seductress.
* [[Pet Owl]]: Rowlet. Being an owl ''and'' the region's grass starter, it's an adorable little bird that serves as the perfect first Pokémon for brand new trainers.
* [[Poltergeist]]: Rotom, who inhabits your Pokédex.▼
* [[Power Nullifier]]: Unless one is using specialized Pokéballs, Aether Island's technology and electric fields render them useless.
* [[Pretty Fly for a White Guy]]: The rank-and-file Team Skull Grunts and their boss Guzma are white (or on the lighter-colored side of [[Ambiguously Brown]]), and act like American street thugs complete with ghetto slang.
Line 62 ⟶ 64:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The Alola Region is a beautiful tropical paradise, and perhaps the most gorgeous region to date.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The guy who runs the Fossil Restoration Center wants to resurrect prehistoric Pokémon and place them in a zoo that he calls the [[Jurassic Park|Dream Park]].
* [[The Sociopath]]:
*
** Tapu Fini, despite being a Pokémon. Granted, ''all'' of the Tapus seem to be some flavor of [[Sociopathic Hero]], but Lele is known to be a malevolent, amoral troublemaker who enjoys using her powers to make people and Pokémon destroy each other.
** Faba, a self-absorbed, child-hating slimeball who only cares about himself and couldn't give a shit about anyone else. Not only is he {{spoiler|okay with being involved in the far less ethical experiments that the Aether Foundation keeps under wraps}}, but he's willing to {{spoiler|sell out his own organization and universe so he can cozy up with Giovanni's new and improved multiverse-conquering Team Rocket}}. While {{spoiler|he turns over a new leaf, he doesn't actually ''regret'' anything he's done and still looks down on others.}}
** Ghetsis, as usual. Not only is he trying to manipulate Giovanni the way he did with N, but his murderous tendencies make themselves known once again when he tries to {{spoiler|kill Lillie, a ''10 year old girl'', with his bare hands.}}
* [[Solar and Lunar]]: Take a wild guess.
▲* [[Poltergeist]]: Rotom, who inhabits your Pokédex.
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Mallow, one of Akala Island's Trial Captains. While most people can't handle her cooking (not because it's disgusting, but because it's ''ridiculously'' spicy), it ''is'' beloved by the Totem Lurantis she watches over.
* [[Take Over the World]]: Subverted, unlike the previous terrorist groups that appeared in past Pokemon games, Team Skull are not interested in world domination. Team Rainbow Rocket, however, definitely ''does''. And not just ''your'' world, they want to dominate the multiverse itself!
* [[Turtle Power]]: Turtonator, who's exclusive to ''Sun'' and ''Ultra Sun''. It's a powerful Fire/Dragon turtle with beefy defenses and the ability to use its shell as an explosive weapon.
* [[Uncanny Family Resemblance]]: Professor (Samson) Oak looks like exactly like his more famous cousin except for being heavily tanned. The official website notes "The two could practically be twins!"
Line 72 ⟶ 77:
* [[Video Game Caring Potential]]: You can use the "Refresh" system to brush, groom, and even feed candy and beans to your Pokémon.
* [[Virtual Paper Doll]]: Like in ''X and Y'', you've got plenty of outfits to dress up in.
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]:
*
** The fights with Archie and Maxie make it clear just what you're in for during Episode RR: brutally tough fights against opponents who will use powerful ''Legendary Pokémon'' against you! If you find yourself struggling against these guys, that might be your cue to grab a Legendary/Ultra Beast of your own to even the odds.
* [[The Western]]: The entire area encompassing Paniola Ranch and Paniola Town. It's Alola's comfy little slice of the Wild West, complete with sprawling farmland, era-appropriate architecture, a showdown with Hau (that can potentially take place during High Noon), and tons upon tons of Miltank and Tauros.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Lillie. Both her outfits include a pair of spiffy white thigh-high socks.
