The registration period for the ''Pokemon Sun & Moon'' Alola Friendlies is from January 19 to January 26, 2017 and is open to players from anywhere in the world, says Serebii.net. The Friendlies will be a single battle type which only allows players using the Alola Poxedex.

The Alola Friendly competition has unique rules. Players are allowed to use all the Pokemons in the Alola Poxedex except the mentioned banned monsters. Entry gift is 50 battle points for the competition. And just like other Alola Battles, the Friendly game is similar to the Random Matchup mode and allows players to gain points when they defeat trainers and lose points if they are defeated. If players choose to disconnect from a battle, the game is recorded as a loss.

The Alola is a new feature of ''Pokemon Sun & Moon'' and this is where Pokemons have developed differently than their regular versions. Creatures may have developed a new type, appearance or ability calling these their Alola Forms. Pokemon SunMoon explains that the Alola Region is actually four islands with a Pokemon deity guarding each one. Alola is surrounded by water with diverse ecology made of creatures that live there for generations. Some Pokemon on the other hand, have just arrived.

The last time 'Pokemon Sun & Moon' Alola had a competition was the Battle of Alola which took place last December 16 to 18, 2016. This one is different with only one special Pokemon per team. The same banned moves were restricted and 15 battles were also held.
