Pokemon Scarlet And Violet Endgame – What To Do After You Complete The Story

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet changed the Pokemon formula, bringing an open world that you can freely explore. While the main themes of the story offer more than just the traditional journey to becoming the champion of the region, the end-game offerings are similar to most other games in the series. ri. You have the opportunity to complete the Pokedex, as well as several other activities. This is all you can do after beating the main story in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Compete in the Academy Ace tournament
The biggest post-game activity is the Academy Ace tournament, in which your students, along with several faculty members, battle in a tournament. However, before you can enter this tournament, you must complete a “test” against eight gyms in the Paldea region. This includes going back to each gym to confront its leader again, except this time they’re hitting high-level Pokemon. You’ll be up against Pokemon level 65 and up, and each gym boss will have at least five Pokemon on their team.
Completing all eight gyms will unlock the Academy Ace tournament. The tournament consists of four rounds, you will need to win consecutively to win the tournament, even though your Pokemon is automatically healed between battles. Your opponents in these battles will have level 65+ Pokemon and five or six Pokemon at their disposal. This tournament is replayable, allowing you to fight hard.
Raid High Level Tera and Herba Mystica
After completing the Academy Ace tournament once, you unlock the ability to participate in five-star raids, giving higher level Pokemon and better rewards. Unfortunately, there’s no way to tell from the map a star-level attack, so you’ll need to explore to find a five-star attack. After successfully defeating five-star attacks 10 times, you’ll unlock six-star attacks, presenting some of the toughest challenges in the game. They appear as black crystals all over Paldea and offer some exclusive bonuses that can only be obtained through these attacks, like Ability Patches and Herba Mystica. Five- and six-star raids are among the toughest battles in the game, requiring high-level Pokemon and some proper strategy.
Herba Mystica appears in both five-star and six-star attacks, but is much more common in six-star attacks. Herba Mystica is used to make shiny bread, making it a lot easier to find shiny Pokemon, something shiny hunters will want a lot. The sweet variation of Herba Mystica can also be given to Mr. Saguaro, the Home Ec teacher, who asked you to bring him some. This only happens after complete his classes and progress his plot at the academy.
Catch one more Legendary Pokemon
At the end of the game your Koraidon/Moraidon will no longer be limited to just mounts but you will also have access to their battle form. Due to their special nature, you cannot put them in a PC box nor can you ride them in battle form and in your party. To avoid this unnecessary headache, you can head back to Area 0, where the final battle of the game takes place and you can catch another Koraidon/Moraidon, which gives you a copy of the box Legendary Pokemon works as usual.
Catch four more legendary Pokemon
There are four other Legendary Pokemon, Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, and Chi-Yu, that can be caught in the Paldea region. These shadow-type legends have been locked in the shrines around the area, with the corresponding eight stakes locking each one. You need to find all eight to unlock the shrine and face the legendary Pokemon. For exact location of each temple and all stakes see GameSpot’s Guide.
