Ilima also hands you ten Great Balls to help you catch even more Pokémon around Alola, and he heals your Pokémon.
Great work! You've passed Ilima's trial, and the dashing captain appears to congratulate you and instructs you to take the Z-Crystal from the pedestal, which turns out to be Normalium Z. Do your best to defeat the Totem Pokémon quickly, or you risk being overwhelmed by their seemingly endless supply of allies! These allies will work with the Totem Pokémon to pummel your party and divert your attacks. Gumshoos will call for Yungoos, while Alolan Raticate will call in Alolan Rattata. Special moves, or moves of a super-effective type (like Fighting -type moves), are therefore your best bet in this battle.Īnother trick Totem Pokémon have up their sleeves is the ability to summon allies to help them. First, they are surrounded by a special aura that helps boost one of their stats-for Gumshoos S/ Alolan Raticate M, this aura raises its Defense stat significantly, making it tough to damage with Physical moves.
It's time for your first battle against a Totem Pokémon! These powerful Pokémon different from regular wild Pokémon in several ways. They are set on spoiling your trial-and you have to defeat one of them in battle to make them back off! Right by that is the second tunnel that has nothing in it.Īs you chase the Pokémon around the cave, you suddenly bump into those Team Skull numbskulls again.

Near the entrance to the Totem's Den, the Trial Guide won't let you through yet, but nearby him and southwest a bit is an X Defense. Instead a dust cloud appears near a different den-the Pokémon has given you the slip! Track the pesky Pokémon around the cave, searching every den that it moves to. You'll find a Super Potion on the other side, along with the den that you were looking for-but there's no Pokémon inside. To reach it, go to the east and press A to crawl through a small tunnel. The last trial Pokémon is holed up in a den on a ledge. Use the TM afterward to teach your Pokémon the move. To reach it, scale the first slope and then run down the ledges in the foreground. TM31 ( Brick Break), a strong Fighting -type move, can be found on the cave's west side. Only this time it will attack you in a dust cloud. Straight up from that is the second den and the second battle with Yungoos S/ Alolan Rattata M. Just past the first small den, after the first Yungoos S/ Alolan Rattata M to the lower right is a Super Potion. Simply approach a den and press A to peek inside-but make sure you're ready for battle! There are more than three dens in the cavern, so you've got to check them all. The three Pokémon you'll encounter are two Yungoos and a Gumshoos S/two Alolan Rattata and an Alolan Raticate M. Your first objective is to defeat three Pokémon that hide in their dens inside the cavern. Ilima also mentions that, although wild Pokémon live in Verdant Cavern, you can't catch any of them until you passed his trial. Ilima's trial involves several Pokémon battles, so make sure you have the right team ( Fighting -types are best here) and plenty of healing items.Īfter following Ilima into the cavern, he'll tell you all about the challenges that await you in this trial. The other thing that all trials have in common is that you cannot catch any wild Pokémon in a trial site until you have cleared the trial. Therefore, it's vital that you fully prepare yourself before entering any trial site. Wild Pokémon live here, but they steer clear of trainers until the trial conditions have been met.Īt last, the time has come for your first trial! Each captain's trial is a unique experience, but they all have one thing in common: if you give up halfway through, you'll have to start all over from scratch on your next attempt. Featuring steep slopes and narrow ledges, this natural cavern is an ideal site for Ilima's trial.
