Hala is a character appearing in the games, Sun and Moon. He is the Island Kahuna of Melemele Island. He is also the grandfather of the player character's rival, Hau.

Appearance

Hala is a stocky old man, who has white hair tied in a ponytail similar to his grandson Hau, as well as white eyebrows and moustache. He wears a blue shirt under his yellow jacket with flower pattern, a shirt tied in a knot over a red and white fan. He also wears white shorts and white/blue flip-flops. In addition, Hala has squinty eyes.

Personality

Hala is a caring grandfather to Hau. He prefers fighting types and respects the player character's power. Hala is a bold and seasoned trainer, though he's fatter than the typical trainer of his type specialty, Hala makes up for it with his go-getting perseverance.

Biography

Games

Hala is one of the first of kahuna that will challenge the player character to a fight. He helps the player character with the roadblock Tauros and registered him to Ride Pokémon.

Just as Lusamine unleashes the Ultra Beasts on the world, Hala teams up with Tapu Koko to battle on Melemele Island.

Trivia

  • Hala is the first trainer who isn't a regional professor to give out Starter Pokémon to new trainers.
  • Hala's name likely comes from "holler" (to shout, often done by martial artists to psych themselves up). It may also come from 腹 (hara, stomach, as sumo wrestlers are often overweight).
  • The man who is in his house's kitchen mentioned that Hala stopped acting too serious around Hau after seeing how his then younger grandson cried upon seeing his serious look.
