Kiawe is a Trial Captain in Alola who specializes in Fire-type Pokémon. He's best known for running a unique trial that focuses on observation rather than straight-up battling—players have to spot the differences between two traditional Alolan dances he performs alongside his Marowak.
The dances themselves are a big part of his identity. Kiawe takes the cultural traditions of Alola seriously and studies them closely with his partner Pokémon. He plays a mentor role to trial-goers passing through, guiding them as they work toward their Island Challenges. Unlike the other Trial Captains, Kiawe's approach emphasizes paying attention to detail and understanding the region's heritage rather than just proving your team's strength in a standard battle.
