Alola!! (Japanese: アローラ!! lit. Arōra!!) is the first opening song of the Sun & Moon series. It debuted in SM001, replacing XY&Z of the XY series. It was replaced by an arrangement of Aim to Be a Pokémon Master made to commemorate the anime's 20th anniversary in SM030 and returned from SM044 to SM060.
Opening animation
Synopsis
Ash is seen up a path, introducing himself, his partner, Pikachu, and his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master with the series logo appearing moments later. Ash is exhausted and down as his classmates approach him to cheer him up and are all shown with their Pokémon, with Lillie terrified of Ash's Pikachu. Everyone is sliding down the spiral slide, but crash into one another after reaching the bottom and colliding with the Alolan Exeggutor, but get back up and they dance.
A Litten is out in the city but spots Ash, Pikachu, Professor Kukui and Rockruff racing down the street and, upon recognizing him, hits Ash with an Ember attack before leaving. Jessie, James and Meowth are in a forest, but are captured by a Bewear and carried off as a Mimikyu appears. Ash and his friends are marching down the path in a row as Samson Oak tries to join with a dance, but is hit and knocked away by a Komala.
Ash and his classmates command their Pokémon to use moves as Lillie is holding a Pokémon Egg. Out in the forest, Ash attempts and succeeds in capturing a Grubbin. Ash commands Pikachu to run and use Iron Tail on Mimikyu. Pikachu continues running and uses Thunderbolt on Yungoos, Salandit and Rattata, then runs alongside Solgaleo. The scene instantly changes and Ash is with Tapu Koko, who flies off towards the moon and seconds later Lunala flies away from it. Ash and Pikachu use their Z-Move. At the Pokémon School, Ash and Pikachu look at the campus over the balcony in amazement. Ash is sitting on the roof of Professor Kukui's house looking out towards the ocean with Pikachu and Rotom.

Trivia
- This is the first opening theme not to have the opening text displayed at the beginning of the opening animation since OK!.
- Alola!! is the first opening theme to return as-is after being replaced.
- While Aim to Be a Pokémon Master has returned twice as an opening theme, both times have been as a remix and with a different sequence altogether.
- The first version of this opening strongly implies Ash catches a Grubbin, something that never occurs in the series. The capture is never explicitly shown, however.
- A cover version of Alola!! appears in Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun! for Nintendo Switch. In the western release, it is simply titled Alola!, missing the extra exclamation mark.[1]
Errors
- During the scene where the main cast dances in the classroom, Kiawe's Z-Ring is miscolored. This is corrected in the second variant.
- In the second variant, Lana's Z-Ring is shown in her right wrist instead of the left during a few frames.
- In the second variant, all characters are missing their shadows, except for the Pokémon in the front line.
- During the scene where Lana commands her Popplio, the upper area of her swimsuit is colored white instead of blue. This is corrected in the second variant.
