SOS battles really are the most dark and terrifying things you can actually do in the franchise; if you think about it. You're TORTURING animals, with drugs and blades and never actually letting them fall unconscious, to make them cry for help so that when the help arrives, you can kill it… again and again… for hours… while the near death animal WATCHES. And sometimes, you want to summon a predator, which you'll probably let EAT the desperate animal that was crying for help… in the vain hope of being saved from YOU.

The darkest entry in the alolan pokedex is probably the unwritten one for trainers.

Alternatively, you despise SOS battles with a burning passion because jeezus chris, would you stop bringing in meat shields and get in my party already! GET IN THE BALL!!
