'''Poké Ride''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンライド''' ''Pokémon Ride'') is a custom practiced in the [[Alola]] region where certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are trained as Ride Pokémon to help people travel or perform other tasks. Different Ride Pokémon have strengths suiting them to different tasks. An institution called Alola Transit appears to be involved in the administration of Ride Pokémon. They are a common means of travel in Alola.

Anyone can summon a Ride Pokémon if they have a '''Ride Pager''' (Japanese: '''ライドギア''' ''Ride Gear'') with the desired Pokémon registered to it. The Ride Pager was developed by [[Ilima]] with the help of a friend.

Some Ride Pokémon are trained at [[Paniola Ranch]].

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Ride Pokémon functionally take the place of [[HM]]-taught [[field move]]s and certain [[Key Item]]s&mdash;like the [[Dowsing Machine]] and the [[Bicycle]]&mdash;from past games. The Ride Pager can be opened by pressing the Y Button once it is obtained. The player can also tap the icons by the Ride Pokémon to [[feature registration|register]] them to different directions on the Control Pad as a shortcut. It is obtained from [[Hala]] after the player passes his [[island challenge|grand trial]].

While riding a Ride Pokémon, the player will wear a special suit known as the '''Riding Wear''' (Japanese: '''ライドウェア''' ''Ride Wear''). The Riding Wear's appearance differs when riding on a Pokémon that travels on water.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ride Stoutland anime.png|thumb|300px|Ride Stoutland in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Ride Pokémon appear in a slightly expanded role in the anime's {{series|Sun & Moon}}. While most Ride Pokémon are still rented, Trainers can own their own personal Ride Pokémon, and can even command them to use [[move]]s and participate in {{pkmn|battle}}s.

Ride Pokémon first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', in which a Sharpedo was used by {{Ash}} to move around the water in [[Hau'oli City]]. In the same episode, several Tauros appeared under the ownership of the [[Pokémon School]], where they were used by {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Mallow}}, and {{an|Sophocles}}.

Ash and {{an|Kiawe}} each used a Ride Tauros in a race in [[SM002|the following episode]].

Lana owns a {{p|Lapras}}, which she uses to traverse over the water. When not in use, it is kept in the sea next to her house. It was first seen in ''Alola to New Adventure!''. Kiawe owns a {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}}, which he uses to move around from island to island in order to make deliveries. Beginning in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Kiawe used this Charizard on his missions with the [[Ultra Guardians]]. It used to belong to [[Kiawe's grandfather|his grandfather]]. It also debuted in ''Alola to New Adventure!''.

In ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]'', several {{p|Wailmer}} and Lapras were used to help in a fishing exercise for Ash and {{ashcl}}.

A driver used three Ride Tauros to help pull his cart in ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]''.

A Ride {{p|Pelipper}} appeared in ''[[SM011|Young Kiawe Had a Farm!]]'', where it was used by Ash to join Kiawe and his Ride Charizard.

A Trainer used a Ride Lapras in ''[[SM020|Partner Promises!]]''.

Three Ride Tauros appeared in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', where they were stolen by [[Tupp]], [[Rapp]], and [[Zipp]] from children at the Pokémon School.

Multiple Ride Stoutland appeared in ''[[SM032|Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!]]''.

[[Olivia]] used a Ride Tauros in ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]''.

In ''A Mission of Ultra Urgency!'', many Poké Ride Pokémon appeared, including a {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Metang}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Dragonair}}, and {{p|Altaria}}. They were used by Ash, Sophocles, Mallow, Lana, and {{an|Lillie}}, respectively, during their first mission as the Ultra Guardians. Many of them have been used during subsequent {{cat|Ultra Guardians episodes}}.

Ash and [[Acerola]] used a Ride {{p|Mudsdale}} in ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'' in order to travel across [[Haina Desert]] to the [[Ruins of Abundance]].

A Ride {{p|Noivern}} made its first appearance in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', under the command of {{an|Gladion}}, the newest member of the Ultra Guardians.

Ride Mantine first appeared in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', where Ash, {{ashcl}}, and {{an|Misty}} rode them to [[Treasure Island]]. Prior to Ride {{p|Mantine}}'s proper introduction, the concept of [[Mantine Surf]]ing appeared in {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 3|the third}} [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]] short, where the titular [[Sandy|Eevee]] learned to ride the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mantine}} it had befriended through the waves. That same Mantine appeared in ''Alola, Alola!'', joining the Ride Mantine on the way to their destination.

==Trivia==
* Charizard is the only Ride Pokémon that does not appear in the Alola Pokédex.
* While the Ride Pager cannot be obtained as an item through normal gameplay, data for it as an [[List of unobtainable items|unobtainable]] [[Key Item]] exists which can be accessed through [[cheating]].
* In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the Riding Wear's headgear appears to be modeled after {{p|Hawlucha}}. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the Riding Wear's headgear appears to be modeled after Shiny Hawlucha.
