A Trial is the first level of the The Rite of the Island Challenges. These are different small trials which the player character must overcome before advancing towards the next part of the Challenge. They are assigned to you by the Trial Captains of each island.
Rules
During a trial, wild Pokémon cannot be caught or fled from. The moves Roar and Teleport will fail, and the abilities Emergency Exit and Wimp Out will not activate. Leaving the area will cause the player to lose all progress on the current trial and be forced to start again from scratch. The Trial Captain will be waiting at the gate at the end of the area, not allowing the player to pass through until the trial is cleared.
These restrictions are lifted on revisits of the area after the player completes the trial.
