Poke Ride

In The Alola Region, HMs have been done away with, mainly in part of the concept known as Poke Ride. With Poke Ride, you are able to use the Ride Pager (obtained from Kahuna Hala after your Melemele Island Grand Trial, accessed by clicking the Y Button in the overworld) to call upon Pokemon to ride upon in order to do a number of things. There continues to be seven different Poke Ride Pokemon.
