%% * BareFistedMonk: Learns Revenge in [=SM081=].

* BreakingOldTrends: Compared to the usual trend of Ash's Fire Starters TookALevelInJerkAss later on, Litten starts out a jerk and mellows out by the time Ash catches it. [[spoiler: Also, while other Fire starters evolve into their final form at the right moment usually just before the last legs of the journey, Torracat evolves into Incineroar ''after its final big battle and faints afterwards.'']]

* CastingAShadow: Upon evolving into Incineroar, it has gained the Dark-type, and it has learned Darkest Lariat (as seen in [=JN140=].

* CatsAreMean: Downplayed. While still a good guy deep down, Torracat is the most unsociable of Ash's Alolan team by a fair margin, especially as a Litten.

* TheBusCameBack: Returned in ''[=JN037=]'' when Ash and Goh visited Alola.

* TheBusCameBack: Its family made a brief cameo in [=SM018=], where Rowlet tried asking them for help looking for a Pom-Pom Oricorio. The Toucannon leader helps it to learn Seed Bomb in [=SM097=].

** Nebby is known for not staying in Lillie's bag in the games and thus in anime, Nebby has a tendency has to leave Ash's backpack and explore to Rowlet's dismay, though not as a frequently since it apparently does like the backpack.

** While Nebby is known for (not) staying in Lillie's bag in the games, it spends its time staying in Ash's bag.

* BloodKnight: It's usually aloof and just as eager to battle as any of Ash's Pokémon, but when the Masked Royal's Incineroar is involved it becomes [[SeriousBusiness extremely]] [[IncrediblyLamePun fired]] up.
* BreakingOldTrends: Compared to the usual trend of Ash's Fire Starters TookALevelInJerkAss later on, Litten starts out a jerk and mellows out by the time Ash catches it. [[spoiler: Also while other Fire starters evolve into their final form at the right moment usually just before the last legs of the journey, Torracat evolves into Incineroar ''after its final big battle and faints afterwards.'']]

* GRatedSex: Basically how Solgaleo and Lunala conceived it.

* PickyEater: When the class is trying to find out what it eats, it refuses Pokémon food, some Poké Beans, a sandwich, a cake, a bowl of salad, and a bottle of Moomoo Milk. The only thing it likes is konpeito candies.

[[caption-width-right:350:Ash's Alola team as seen in the ''Pokémon Journeys'' reunion (minus [[GuestStarPartyMember Naganadel]])]]

* AmbiguousGender: Besides Pikachu, none of the Alola team have confirmed genders. Nebby, Naganadel and Melmetal are biologically genderless however. The best the others get are implied hints.[[note]]Lycanroc's dialogue is translated as using male pronouns in [=SM126=], while all of them wear amulets for their Ultra Guardian attire compared to the ribbons usually equipped to Pokemon officially female, which implies that Incineroar, Rowlet and Lycanroc are all males.[[/note]]

* BadassCrew: In spite of their goofiness, this might be one of Ash's most battle-solid and strongest teams with all of its members never getting less wins than losses and having overall strong showings. Not to mention it has among its ranks a special form Pokemon, a Mythical Pokemon and (temporarily) an Ultra Beast with all three being powerhouses on their own right. Even the lowly Rowlet is shown capable of defeating things bigger than itself consistently and Incineroar was even able to [[spoiler:defeat Kukui's seemingly unstoppable Incineroar as a Torracat even after taking a nasty beating following Kukui's Incineroar boosting itself with Bulk Up and without the need to evolve mid-fight]].

* CharacterFocus: Compared to previous teams, all of Ash's Alola Pokemon largely get equal limelight, though spread about in lengthy durations through the series. Rowlet was used mainly through the Melemele and Akala trials. After its evolution and into the Ula Ula trials, Lycanroc got primary use. Torracat has yet to have a dominant era of focus, though gets key mini-arcs spread throughout the show, with Pikachu taking the vast amount of what's left. All four of them are signatures against different rivals as well.

* OneOfTheKids: The majority of Ash's Alola team evolve at least once. Compared to most previous examples however, they tend to retain a lot of their original personality quirks (and sometimes even gain new ones) and often continue appearing in more playful scenes with the other Pokemon.
* OlympusMons: Not only the first team of Ash's to feature a mythical officially (Melmetal), but also an Ultra Beast (Naganadel), and a legendary as a recurrent GuestStarPartyMember (Nebby). Combined with Lycanroc being a rare Dusk forme which, like the other three, has never been caught beforehand, Nanu lampshades Ash's rather elusive team of Pokemon.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: A reccuring theme with the Alolan squad is that they tend to be compared to their direct evolution against various rivals throughout the season. The relationship dynamic between Ash pokemon and their evolutionary counterparts ranges between BigBrotherMentor towards straight up TheRival, but for the most part they were able to keep up well in a fight against them. The only exception to this trend is Cosmog, Poipole, and Meltan. The former two largely acts as KidAppealCharacter, whereas Meltan, while lacking rival fits this trope naturally until its evolution into Melmetal.

* NeatFreak: Becomes this when he evolves into Dusk Lycanroc.

* TheNoseKnows: Has a pronounced sense of smell akin to normal dogs, making him useful for searching for other Pokemon or people.

* PowerStrainBlackout: [[spoiler: During the exhibition match against Kukui, Torracat had to use so much of its own energy and the energy it absorbed from Incineroar's Blast Burn that after defeating Kukui's Incineroar and evolving into one itself, it immediately faints standing up. This is significant because in all previous instances, a Pokemon is shown to get a second wind when they evolve. Torracat was so tired it used up all its current stage's remaining energy just to complete evolution process itself and let out one final roar.]]

* NoBiologicalSex: The first genderless Pokemon to have been officially owned by Ash.
* OneOfTheKids: Remains the key {{Keet}} of the group, even after evolving into Naganadel. After defeating Kukui's Lucario, it spins around happily in front of the group's Pokemon like it did as a Poipole.

* GrumpyBear: Sometimes acts irritable or aloof, making it a good foil for the more playful Lycanroc.
