Poké Rides are a new mechanic in Pokémon Sun and Moon. The player can call on the services of a Pokémon as a Poké Ride, which allows them to access areas they wouldn't be able to with human strength alone. For example, Poké Ride's can traverse terrain humans cannot, and can destroy certain obstacles. Pokémon used as for Poké Rides are not added to the party, and can be called on at any time. The player uses a harness and wears safety equipment while on the Poké Ride.
