Under The Alolan Moon is the opening theme song for the English dub of the twenty-first season, Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon—Ultra Adventures. It was used from A Dream Encounter! to Turning the Other Mask!.

Lyrics

(Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini)
We've been preparing
Sharing
Training
Studying A to Z
Bonding
Battling
Laughing
Gettin' crazy, you and me
'Cause it's coming soon
When we all meet our destiny
Under the Alolan moon
Pokémon!

Trivia

• An instrumental version of this song was used in Family Determination!, The Professors' New Adventure!, and A Mission of Ultra Urgency!.
• This is the only opening theme song in both English and Japanese to have Pokémon names in the lyrics.
• The beginning scene where Ash uses his Z-Ring is taken from an earlier version of Revealing the Stuff of Legend!, with the symbol for Searing Sunraze Smash appearing a light clear white instead of black like in the episode. This scene was also shown in the preview for the episode in Family Determination!
