7!! Pokémon Sun: A Ranger's Trials contains the following Tropes:
8* AdaptationalBadass: Some of the characters that appeared have been made a lot strong in comparison to their canon counterpart.
9** A heroic example would be The Masked Royal, who we get to see join in on the wrestling on Day 3 to show off his strength.
10** [[spoiler: A villainous example would be Lusamine, who nearly defeated Aubrey in their first fight against each other on Day 5. And then there is her fight in Ultra Space where she actually joined the fight while in her Mother Beast form.]]
11* AdaptationalDeviation: [[spoiler: There's only one of each Ultra Beast in Chapter 26 instead of two Buzzwole/Celesteela and four Kartana/Pheremosa]].
12* AdaptationalKarma: [[spoiler: RR!Giovanni is arrested alongside Faba instead of teleporting away after being beaten]].
13* AdaptationalHeroism: The Tapus are far nicer than in the games being willing to give Guzma and Team Skull a second chance.
14* AdaptationalJerkass: The people of Alola are shown to be prejudiced against Mega Evolutions which wasn't a problem in the games.
15* AlternateSelf: [[spoiler: The Team Rainbow Rocket leaders just like in the game. Lampshaded every time one shows up]].
16* BigBad: [[spoiler: Lusamine and Nilhego for the main portion, RR!Giovanni for the Rainbow Rocket part]].
17* BusmansHoliday: Aubrey came to the Alola region looking for a vacation, only to wind up taking on the responsibility of investigating not only the Ultra Beasts, but also Alola's prejudice towards Mega Evolution.
18* EstablishingCharacterMoment: All four of the of the main quartet of OCs each had their quirks and personalities shown off in their introduction scenes.
19** Aubrey is shown immediately jumping into a mission from Kukui looking for the Kahuna, and then later taming three Spearow attacking Nebby.
20** Jake is shown to be superstitious and worried about the Ultra Beasts, but also having a big heart when talking about the prejudice towards Mega Evolution.
21** Vanessa is shown as the reliable sort when helping Aubrey and Jake figure things out based on the limited information they have, as well as responsible when it comes to caring for Aubrey's Skarmory
22** Key is shown chiming in giving business advice to a saleswoman at the Hau'oli Mall, as well as showing an interest in Aubrey that can best be described as 'fascination'.
23* {{Foreshadowing}}:
24** On the first part of Day 4, Jake wonders how Vanessa dresses, and Aubrey offers that Vanessa can join them once she's done with her business in Kanto. Sure enough, during Day 5, Vanessa shows up in Alola to assist the duo.
25** On the last part of Day 4, Aubrey is able to tame a Nihilego at Aether Paradise with her Capture Styler, [[spoiler: and later, during Day 6, Aubrey is able to use her Capture Styler on Motherbeast Lusamine to force the Nihilego to defuse with her in their fight with her.]]
26* FriendOrIdolDecision: As the story progresses and Aubrey continues on her journey she begins to question if she wants to continue being a Pokémon Ranger or if she wants to become a Pokémon trainer. She sees that coming to Alola has given her the opportunity of a lifetime, but questions if it will be enough for her to leave her job as a Pokémon Ranger.
27* GodIsGood: Rather than having the Tapus be portrayed as jerk trickster gods, the story and the second bonus mission portrays them as benevolent deities who are willing to give Team Skull and Guzma a second chance after the rangers seek them out.
28* GoldfishPoopGang: The Team Skull grunts.
29* KingMook: The Totem Pokémon, just like the games.
30* LegionOfDoom: [[spoiler: Giovanni forms Team Rainbow Rocket from villainous team leaders that come from dimensions where they won due to the protagonists never being around to stop them]].
31* MythologyGag:
32** The people of Alola being prejudiced against Mega Evolutions is a reference to the DarkerAndEdgier Pokédex entries for Mega Evolved Pokémon in [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Pokémon Sun And Moon]].
33** Ranger Chu uses the Partner Moves from [[VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndEevee Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee!]]
34* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: Hau took on RR!Ghetsis's team and won during the Rainbow Rocket arc. All that we see is he got a black eye protecting Lillie from Ghetsis.]]
35* PokemonSpeak: How the Pokémon speak just like in [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokémon: The Series]], though zigzagged as some speak in regular critter noises.
36* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Guzma and Lusamine are the leaders of Team Skull and the Aether Foundation and two of the strongest battlers [[spoiler: particularly after the latter fuses with Nilhego]].
37* RedOniBlueOni: When it concerns the rangers, Aubrey is the Red Oni whereas Vanessa is the Blue Oni. When it concerns Aubrey and Jake, they seem to alternate between each other.
38* SingleSpecimenSpecies: [[spoiler: Only one of each Ultra Beast is encountered instead of multiples for Buzzwole, Pheremosa, Kartana and Celesteela]].
