Ryuki (Japanese: リュウキ Ryūki) is a non-player character in the Generation VII games. He is a rock guitarist and a Pokémon Trainer who specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon.
In the games
Ryuki is a rock musician who has traveled to Alola from another region beyond the sea in order to spread his fame. He's also one of the Trainers who challenges the player for the title of Pokémon Champion.
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Ryuki also sometimes appears at the Kantonian Gym in Malie City, where he can be battled, although defeating him isn't necessary in clearing the Kantonian Gym challenge. After being defeated for the first time, he gives the player a Dragon Scale. He also promises to become a Dragon-type Gym Leader once real Gyms start appearing in Alola.
Pokémon
Ryuki's Pokémon are kept in Ultra Balls.

- First challenge

- "I'm gonna belt out everything inside of me! I've gotta encourage my Pokémon to keep rocking!"
- After being defeated
- "Everyone's got their own problems, huh? The critics loved my songs, but nobody was buying my music for a while, man. But I'm just a rocker down to my bones. Nothing else to do but keep on rocking. I dig you, Champ. Looks like you know who you are, too, right down to your bones."

In the anime
Ryuki in the anime
Ryuki made his debut in SM118 as the leader of the Kantonian Gym. He first had a battle with Kiawe, easily defeating him as his Marowak when it got distracted by Ryuki's music. Next, he battled against Ash, but when Ash's Rowlet was losing to Ryuki's Zweilous, Ash's Meltan got angry at its friend getting hurt and ate some of the decorations on Ryuki's suit in retaliation. Ryuki then changed the match into a Double Battle, with Ash using Meltan and Ryuki using Druddigon. Thanks to Rowlet learning Brave Bird, Ash was able to win the battle. Ryuki then gave him a badge bearing a picture of his own face as a proof of his victory.
