Z-Moves are a new type of powerful move where Trainers and Pokémon combine to release their full power, using Z-Power. There is a Z-Move for each type. In the games, Trainers will require a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal to pull of these powerful moves. A Z-Move can only be used once per battle.

- Rowlett has the Z-Move Bloom Doom, which is Grass-type.
- Litten has the Z-Move Inferno Overdrive, which is Fire-type.

TOMY International will also be releasing a Z-Ring for sale that real-world Trainers can wear on their arm and will light up, vibrate, and play sounds when using Z-Moves in the game.
The Island Challenge is a new mechanic is Pokémon Sun and Moon. It is described as a rite of passage, in which the player travels to the four islands of the Alola region to complete the island's trials. The goal of the Island Challenge is to become the strongest Trainer, known as the island challenge champion. These trials do not only involve battling.
At the end of each trial, the player battles a Totem Pokémon. A Totem Pokémon is much larger than others of their species, and its body is enveloped in a special aura. Totem Pokémon can call on other Pokémon for help, summoning them to battle at the Totem Pokémon's side; some Pokémon other than Totem Pokémon can also call for help.
- Totem Gumshoos has an aura that boosts its Defense. It can call on Yungoos to aid it in battle.
- Totem Lurantis is the Totem Pokémon of Lush Jungle, the site of an Akala Island trial.
The final trial of each island is called the grand trial. It is a Pokémon battle against the kahuna, who leads that island. If the player cleats the grand trial, they will be recognized as having cleared all of that island's trials. Island Kahuna Hala is the kahuna of Melemele Island.
There are a number of Trial Captains.
- Mallow is the Trial Captain of the Lush Jungle, which specializes in the Grass type. She tasks the player to find four ingredients.
- Lana is the Trial Captain of the Water-type trial grounds.
- Sophocles is the Trial Captain of the Electric-type trial grounds.
- Kiawe is the Trial Captain of the Fire-type trial grounds. Kiawe says his trial is different to the others, testing the the player's observation. It involves two dances being performed, and the player has to identify the difference between the two.
Ride Pokémon are a new mechanic in Pokémon Sun and Moon. The player can call on the services of a Ride Pokémon, which allows them to traverse terrain they otherwise would not and destroy certain obstacles. The player uses a harness and wears safety equipment while on the Ride Pokémon.
Riding a Tauros allows the player to destroy rocks.
