Totem Pokémon

A Totem Pokémon is a Pokémon that is powered up by its aura. It can also summon allies to help it which are mostly of the same species with a few exceptions. They are only encountered at the end of a Trial.

There are seven totem Pokémon in Sun and Moon. They are:

Trivia

• Totems can summon Pokémon that aren't from their species. (Totem Mimikyu can summon a Haunter.)
  • In the wild, Pokémon also have a chance of summoning help.
• Any of the totem's stats are boosted by the aura boost.
• Lusamine's Pokémon have a similar stat boost to totems when fought in Ultra Space. The Pokémon can't summon allies, though.
• In the anime, when Ash was battling the Totem Gumshoos Rotom says that this Gumshoos was three times bigger than the first Gumshoos.
  • This also happens in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon where the Totem Pokemon that can be caught are bigger in size to normal ones.
