Trivia
- Kukui was the first Trainer whose alternate outfit is classified under a different name, Dex number, and ID number.
- The Masked Royal & Incineroar were the first sync pair featuring a first partner Pokémon evolutionary line to not have a Fire-, Water-, or Grass-type move.
- In the costume event Diantha's Battle Prep, a bug caused the VS screen in the daily battle to say "You are challenged by Kukui!" instead of "You are challenged by the Masked Royal!". This was fixed on November 4, 2021.[3]
- Kukui & Lycanroc were the last 5★ sync pair in the general sync pair scout pool to unlock the ability to upgrade to 6★ EX.
- Kukui's appearance in the Champion Stadium is a reference to him being the final opponent of the Pokémon League in Pokémon Sun and Moon, before the player becomes Champion.
Origin
Kukui's design is based on his appearance in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon. Midday Form Lycanroc is Kukui's lead Pokémon during the battle against him at the Pokémon League. It is also a Pokémon Kukui can use in the Battle Tree. Midday Form Lycanroc's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
The Masked Royal is Kukui's alter ego that he uses whenever he participates in Battle Royals at the Battle Royal Dome. Incineroar is Kukui's signature Pokémon in the Pokémon League if the player chooses Rowlet as their first partner Pokémon in the Alola-based core series games. It is also one of the Pokémon he can use at the Battle Tree. In addition, Kukui's anime counterpart is depicted with an Incineroar. Incineroar's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
