Team Skull
In the Alola region, a group of ruffians known as Team Skull causes a lot of trouble. They steal other people’s Pokémon, mess up the trial sites, and delight in all kinds of evil deeds.
Team Skull Boss Guzma
Guzma is the boss of Team Skull who holds these ruffians together. Guzma pours on the attacks, battling without mercy. He certainly does seem strong, but he claims to be one of those who “never could become captains.” He seems to have a bone to pick with Professor Kukui, as well.
Team Skull Admin Plumeria
Plumeria is considered the big sister of Team Skull. She’s a tough lady who keeps Team Skull in line and working together—in the same way a strict older sister would. She seems to care for the Grunts who are below her in the pecking order, and she’s not one to let it go if someone’s given them a walloping.
Team Skull Grunts
Both male and female Team Skull Grunts wear matching black Skull Tanks. And these uniforms aren’t even provided for them—all Grunts have to buy their own!
Hopefully they'll just be common criminals as the first sentence seems to suggest instead of ridiculous world domination plots that we've had since third gen.

Meh, they always seem to involve the evil teams with legendaries and use them for the same old purpose, but I hope not.
I'm not so sure. The sea monster is part of Lana's trial. And then the explanation of the island challenge suggests that after that, you THEN battle the totem Pokemon in an SOS battle. Wishiwashi's description mentions SOS battle styles so I feel like it'll be the Totem Pokemon after the trial. I still think Gyarados - perhaps Shiny Gyarados - will be the sea monster.
If Queen Jynx gets ignored again first she was screwed over by not getting an evolution with Magmar and Electabuzz. Then she was like the only Pokemon who got an updated trademark during X and Y that didn't get a mega evolution
Even Pokémon researchers don’t know why Raichu’s form changed in the Alola region. The people of Alola seem unconcerned by the question. Their guess: maybe it ate too many sweet and fluffy round pancakes!
the BS excuse

Once a Pyukumuku finds a place it likes, it won’t budge from it. If someone moves it away, back it comes to the same spot. If it runs out of food to eat in that spot, it’ll stay there—and starve. The people of Alola found this so pitiful that they developed a tradition of chucking Pyukumuku back into the food-rich sea whenever they come across any thin-bellied Pyukumuku.

mess at them not bothering to come up for a reason for this one. the hoverboard idea/reference to surfing pikachu is really cute tho.

But we already saw an SOS battle and they arent similar to wishiwashi case...
