The Best Pokemon Scarlet And Violet Story Order

Wondering what the best Pokemon Scarlet and Violet story order is? The branching Scarlet and Violet story paths are something brand new to the Pokemon franchise. Unlike previous Pokemon games, trainers can freely explore, so here’s our take on the best Pokemon Scarlet and Violet story order.

First, let’s get into each storyline branch so trainers know what to expect:

• Which Pokemon have made it into Paldea?

The Best Pokemon Scarlet And Violet Story Order - Path of Legends

The Path of Legends is one of three storylines in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet story order. On this path, Trainers will be searching for the legendary Herba Mystica, a rare herb native to Paldea. Teaming up with upperclassman Arven, you’ll have to take down Titan Pokemon to obtain these powerful healing items. These are creatures not dissimilar from Alpha Pokemon in Legends Arceus or Totem Pokemon from Sun and Moon.

• Will Scarlet and Violet finally introduce voice acting to Pokemon?

The Best Pokemon Scarlet And Violet Story Order - Victory Road

A name that will sound familiar to any veteran Pokemon player! Victory Road is one of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet story order paths. This gruelling challenge requires you to defeat the eight Gym Leaders across Paldea and take on the Pokemon League. On this path, you’ll team up with your battle-loving friend Nemona, who is also taking on this challenge. As mentioned, gym battles can be tackled in any order you fancy as you explore the massive open world.

• Will Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have multiplayer?

Starfall Street

The Starfall Street path introduces the antagonist gang of Generation nine - the rebellious students known as ‘Team Star’. In this Pokemon Scarlet and Violet story order path, you’ll take on their hideouts and fight the Team Start grunts against the clock. If you’re successful in your raid, you’ll get the chance to challenge the Team Star squad’s leader.

These mini-boss battles will also introduce the Starmobile - a flashy, extravagant kart seemingly powered by an engine Pokemon. The team leader battles onboard and will even try to intercept your Pokemon battles.

The Best Pokemon Scarlet And Violet Story Order

The problem with the generation nine story order is that it doesn’t scale. So for trainers with a level 80 Pokemon squad will not receive any form of a stacked challenge from the first gym leader we’ve listed below.

We think the best way to get the most out of generation nine is to hit various tasks when a trainer’s team is more or less scaled enough to take it on. We also don’t want trainers being too strong and flying through the story, everyone likes a bit of a challenge.

So here we go, we will go with a bullet point format for each task accompanied by the recommended Pokemon team level and storyline title it is linked to:

1. Bug Gym
   1. Level 15 - Victory Road
2. Rock Titan
   1. Level 16 - Path of Legends
3. Grass Gym
   1. Level 17 - Victory Road
4. Flying Titan
   1. Level 19 - Path of Legends
