Mount Lanakila Victory Road
ラナキラマウンテン Lanakila Mountain
"Wild Missingno. appeared!"
Map description:
The roughest and coldest mountain in the Alola region. A large-scale construction project has been taken up here.
Mount Lanakila (Japanese: ラナキラマウンテンLanakila Mountain) is the tallest mountain in Alola, located on Ula'ula Island. It is located north of Tapu Village and its peak is the site of Alola's newly-established Pokémon League. While the area is initially under construction, the construction will be complete by the time the player has ended the situation with Lusamine in Ultra SpaceSM or has completed all of their island challenge trialsUSUM, creating Alola's Victory Road (Japanese: チャンピオンロードChampion Road).
After the player has completed all of their trials, NanuSM/HapuUSUM tells them that in the past, prior to the establishment of the Pokémon League, Mount Lanakila was the location of the final trial, where, similar to the Elite Four, a Trainer had to defeat all four Island Kahunas in a row in order to become the island challenge champion.
Crabrawler will evolve into Crabominable if leveled up here, and an Ice Rock is present inside the mountain's cave, which will cause Eevee to evolve into Glaceon if leveled up inside. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player could not enter Mount Lanakila at all until defeating Lusamine. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, however, the player can access the base of the mountain and the tall grass now present there as soon as they first reach Tapu Village, allowing them to level up and evolve their Crabrawler much earlier than in Sun and Moon.

In Not Caving Under Pressure!, Ash and his classmates, on their way back from Hokulani Observatory, took a shortcut through caves that ran under Mount Hokulani and Mount Lanakila. However, they were separated after a clash between Kiawe's Marowak and Turtonator caused an explosion. On their way to rejoin their friends, Lillie, Mallow, and Sophocles ran into a small group of wild Alolan Sandshrew, led by a larger Sandshrew, which were being driven from their territory by a wild Tyranitar. After being caught in the middle of battle, Lillie and Snowy teamed up with the leader Sandshrew and were able to drive off the Tyranitar. In the process of repairing the cave, Sophocles's Charjabug found an Ice Stone, which the leader Sandshrew used to evolve into Sandslash. This caused the group to realize that the cave was in fact an Ice Stone mine where Sandshrew come to evolve, as well as to wonder if the large Sandslash was in fact a Totem Pokémon. The grateful Sandslash then gave Lillie an Icium Z.
Mount Lanakila reappeared a flashback in The Dealer of Destruction! while Olivia described it as an old, abandoned part of the island challenge tradition where Trainers who had completed their grand trials battled each other at the summit.
Mount Lanakila reappeared again in Pikachu's Exciting Adventure!, where Ash's Pikachu, Rowlet, Lycanroc, and Meltan traveled to its summit using Ash's Ultra GuardianRideGarchomp to look for their missing Trainer. They rode down the mountainside on a PokéSled, falling off of it midway through and rolling down the rest of the way in a big snowball, eventually landing in the sea.
Mount Lanakila was mentioned in JN071, where Goh's first mission in Project Mew was revealed to be catching an Alolan Ninetales on Mt. Coronet, where it had wound up after being forcibly taken away from its home at Mount Lanakila by Pokémon poachers. Goh eventually managed to convince Ninetales to let him catch it. In JN080, Ninetales was safely returned to its home.
