In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, it rains in Lush Jungle from 5 to 6 pm. The rain weather condition will occur for the duration of any battle started while it is raining in the overworld.

Pokémon Sun and Moon
The trial begins as soon as the player enters Lush Jungle; however, they can leave at any time (though not via Charizard Glide), although this will reset the trial. Once the player has collected all four ingredients, they can leave at any time without resetting the trial.

In this trial, the player receives a Forage Bag from Mallow to locate four items hidden in the jungle: a Mago Berry, a Tiny Mushroom, a Revival Herb, and a Miracle Seed.
 * When the player finds the spot where the Tiny Mushroom is located, they are given the option to take a Tiny Mushroom or Big Mushroom. Regardless of the choice, they are attacked by a wild /.
 * When the player approaches the tree the Mago Berry is buried under, a Fomantis will jump out of the tree and ambush the player.
 * In the area the Revival Herb grows, there are three hidden objects the player can interact with, only one of which is the Revival Herb. If the player interacts with any of these objects, they will be attacked by a Fomantis; depending on whether the player chose the correct object, the Fomantis will have slightly different moves. Until completing the trial, the player can still interact with the incorrect objects after finding the correct Revival Herb.

Upon collecting all four items, Mallow and the player are joined by Lana and Kiawe who have more items for the dish. Mallow asks the player to participate in each stage of the dish's preparation, requiring the player to press the A button at least five times during each stage to progress. When the Mallow Special is complete, the Totem Pokémon,, will be lured to the aroma.

In the battle with Totem Lurantis, it will call on its first turn, and call  if its HP is below approximately 2/3 (if the ally Trumbeak has been defeated). If its HP drops below approximately 2/3 before it has a chance to call an ally, it will call Castform first, then call Trumbeak at the first opportunity after Castform has fainted. Once an ally is defeated, Totem Lurantis cannot call it again.

After defeating the Totem Pokémon, the player will be greeted by Mallow for completing the trial and will receive a Grassium Z as a reward. After completing the trial, wild Pokémon will appear in Lush Jungle.

Forage Bag items
These items are collected as part of the trial. While they are named after real Bag items, obtaining them does not cause the player to put the corresponding item in their Bag.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the trial has been altered. Mallow now takes the player to three locations to pick up an ingredient from the areas. Before leaving an area, she warns the player about the possibility of an observing Pokémon attacking later for the ingredient that the player took. The following locations for the correct ingredients will not trigger a fight before facing Totem Lurantis:


 * The Mago Berry under the tree to the left, with only a sour smell.
 * The Honey from the bush in the bottom left, with the four flowers.
 * The -like tree that doesn't merit a description about its moving branches. Additionally, said tree is slightly different from the real Sudowoodo due to some traits, such as leafy branches and roots instead of legs.

After the player gathers all the ingredients, Mallow will prepare the Mallow Special herself rather than requiring input from the player. She comments after Totem Lurantis's defeat if the player hasn't had to fight a Pokémon for picking the wrong ingredients.
