Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Three storylines, do them in any order

    Victory Road (8 gyms), Path of Legends (5 Titans), Starfall Street (5 Team Star bases).

    • Pokémon do NOT scale to your level — pick the easiest opponent next based on your team's Lv.
    • Recommended approach: Bug Gym (Cortondo, Lv. 14) → Klawf Titan (Lv. 16) → Dark Star Base (Lv. 21) → alternate as you level.
  2. 02

    Recommended order (Victory Road)

    Cortondo (Bug) → Artazon (Grass) → Levincia (Electric) → Cascarrafa (Water) → Medali (Normal) → Montenevera (Ghost) → Alfornada (Psychic) → Glaseado (Ice).

    • Cortondo (Katy, Lv. 14–15): Tarountula/Nymble/Teddiursa Tera Bug. Fire/Flying.
    • Artazon (Brassius, Lv. 16–17): Petilil/Smoliv/Sudowoodo Tera Grass. Ice/Flying/Fire. Sunflora puzzle: find 10 Sunflora hidden in town.
    • Levincia (Iono, Lv. 23–24): Wattrel/Bellibolt/Luxio/Mismagius Tera Electric. Ground (Mudbray).
    • Cascarrafa (Kofu, Lv. 29–30): Veluza/Wugtrio/Crabominable Tera Water. Find his wallet in Porto Marinada market first.
    • Medali (Larry, Lv. 35–36): Komala/Dudunsparce/Staraptor Tera Normal. Order his lunch (medium spicy + no veggies + lemon = Grilled Rice Ball Set).
    • Montenevera (Ryme, Lv. 41–42): Mimikyu/Banette/Houndstone/Toxtricity Tera Ghost. Use Dark (Meowscarada) and Ghost.
    • Alfornada (Tulip, Lv. 44–45): Farigiraf/Gardevoir/Espathra/Florges Tera Psychic. Dark/Bug/Ghost.
    • Glaseado (Grusha, Lv. 47–48): Frosmoth/Beartic/Cetitan Tera Ice. Fighting/Steel/Fire.
  3. 03

    Path of Legends Titans

    Klawf (Rock) → Bombirdier (Flying) → Orthworm (Steel) → Great Tusk/Iron Treads (Ground) → Tatsugiri+Dondozo (Water).

    • Each Titan eats a Herba Mystica between Phase 1 (giant) and Phase 2 (regular battle). Beat phase 2 to win.
    • Order: Klawf (Lv. 16) → Bombirdier (Lv. 20) → Orthworm (Lv. 28) → Great Tusk/Iron Treads (Lv. 44) → Dondozo+Tatsugiri (Lv. 56).
    • Each upgrades Koraidon/Miraidon: Dash → Swim → High Jump → Climb → Glide.
  4. 04

    Starfall Street

    5 bases — defeat 30 grunts in 10 mins (auto-battle), then the boss + Starmobile.

    • Order: Dark (Segin, Mela team — Lv. 21) → Fire (Schedar, Atticus — Lv. 27) → Poison (Bombirdier-skip, Giacomo — Lv. 35) → Fairy (Polaris, Ortega — Lv. 51) → Fighting (Ruchbah, Eri — Lv. 56).
    • Boss has a Starmobile (vehicle Tera-form Revavroom). Fighting beats most.
    • After all 5: confront Penny (Eevee evolutions, Lv. 60–62 — bring varied counters).
  5. 05

    The Way Home (final story)

    Available only after finishing all three paths. Don't sleep on this — best part of the game.

    • Auto-starts at Zero Gate. You can't fast-travel out — bring a balanced Lv. 60+ team and supplies.
    • Final fight: AI-Sada/Turo (Scarlet/Violet) with their box legendary at Lv. 66 + Paradox starters.
    • Catch Koraidon/Miraidon at Lv. 72 in a story event (can't fail).

Pro tips

  • Pokémon don't scale — pick your route based on your team's level.
  • Terastallization changes a Pokémon's type once per battle. Tera Raids drop Tera Shards.
  • Auto-battles via Let's Go (R button) grind XP and materials fast.
  • Picnics replace Camps — sandwiches give meal powers (encounter, EXP, shiny boosts).

Post-game

  • The Teal Mask + The Indigo Disk DLC (Kitakami + Blueberry Academy).
  • Catch Paradox Pokémon in Area Zero.
  • 6-star Tera Raids unlock for endgame loot + Mightiest Mark Pokémon.
