Walkthrough
- 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.
- 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.

- 04
Starfall Street
5 bases — defeat 30 grunts in 10 mins (auto-battle), then the boss + Starmobile.

- 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.
