How do you think Totem's will be handled in game? I'm talking about their distribution among islands and such, as well as which Pokemon will be the Totem's for each type trial.

We already know they are unique battles at the end of Trials, and which pokemon are which totems. Check the official site.

>lurantis
>wishiwashi?
i wouldn't be surprised if palossand or vikavolt were totems too, considering how they interact with their prevos.
i'm expecting the totem pokemon to simply have a stat raised. so raticate would have boosted attack or defense. and then there are waves of lower level rattata that join the battle.
If we're thinking there's a totem for each type, it gets kinda muddy when we start thinking of duel types.
Like, Raticate and Gumshoo are both normal. But Raticate is dark too... So?

You answered your own question. They're both Normal, so they're obviously the Normal type totems.

>Gumshoos/Alolan Ratticate
>Lurantis
>Wishiwashi (School Form)
I'd also put money on Vikavolt, Alolan Marowak/Turtonator, Palossand, Drampa, and the leaked Ice/Ghost snowman/Alolan Ninetales

>Thinking each island will have just 1 Totem
Each trial will have a Totem, but each island will have a different number of trials.
So can we catch them?
