Pokmon Scarlet & Violet Gym Order: Every Path Level Order Walkthrough

July 19, 2024

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Gym Order – All Paths & Teams

There are three main quests players will need to complete to finish Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Trainers will have to defeat all gym leaders, as in previous games, but they will also need to defeat Titan Pokémon, which are humongous versions of normal Pokémon, and dethrone all Team Star leaders one by one.

Below is a list of every boss fight in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, ordered by their best Pokémon’s level:

1. Bug Gym Leader Katy – Victory Road

Katy is the first gym leader you’ll take on during your journey across Paldea. She uses Bug-type Pokémon that are level 14-15, making her Gym Challenge a breeze. She is located in Cortondo, and her team is listed below.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Nymph	Bug	14
Tarountula	Bug	14
Teddiursa	Bug Tera Type	15

2. Klawf – Path of Legends

The first Titan you’ll take on is Klawf located in South Province (Area Three), and like Katy, this boss is a breeze.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Klawf	Rock	16

3. Grass Gym Leader Brassius – Victory Road

If you picked Fuecoco as your starter, then Brassius will be one of the easiest Gyms in the game. He has a low-level grass team – as listed below – and doesn’t deal much damage with his limited moveset. He is located in Artazon.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Petlil	Grass	16
Smoliv	Grass/Normal	16
Sudowoodo	Grass Tera Type	17

4. Bombirdier – Path of Legends

Bombirdier is up next. If you’re tired of avoiding water, this Flying-type titan is the key to unlocking your swimming ability. Located in West Province (Area One), make sure to bring a Rock or Electric-Type to knock this boss out of the sky.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Bombirdier	Flying/Dark	19

5. Team Star Leader Giacomo – Starfall Street

The first leader of Team Star you’ll take on is Giacomo located in West Province (Area One). His Pokemon are Dark-type and break into the level 20s. He only has two Pokemon at his disposal, but they can be a pain to lower-level trainers.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Pawniard	Dark	21
Revavaroom	Dark	20

6. Electric Gym Leader Iono – Victory Road

Iono is a fan-favorite gym leader and is really where players can start running into trouble. She has four Electric-type Pokémon which only have one super-effective weakness: Ground. However, her first Pokémon is immune to ground attacks, so come prepared. She can be challenged in the coastal city of Levincia.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Wattrel	Electric/Flying	23
Luxio	Electric	23
Bellibolt	Electric	23
Mismagius	Electric Tera Type	24

7. Team Star Leader Mela – Starfall Street

Mela was one of the most iconic Team Star members before Pokémon Scarlet & Violet‘s release. And despite having a team in the mid-level-20s, she can easily be defeated with any of the Water types. Located in East Province (Area One), here’s Mela’s Fire-type team.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Torkoal	Fire	27
Revavaroom	Fire	26

8. Orthworm – Path of Legends

The new Steel-type worm is next, giving players the ability to high jump once defeated. Orthworm may be nearing level 30, but he’s still a pushover for those who picked Fuecoco. Titan Orthworm can be found in East Province (Area Three).

Pokemon	Type	Level
Orthworm	Steel	28

9. Water Gym Leader Kofu – Victory Road

After returning Kofu’s wallet and spending a few grand on ingredients, players can take on Water Gym Leader Kofu. Breaking into the 30 levels, Kofu’s Water-type team is pretty easy to deal with since they all share a super weakness to Electric moves. Head to Cascarrafa to take him on.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Veluza	Water/Psychic	29
Wugtrio	Water	29
Crabominable	Water Tera Type	30

10. Team Star Leader Atticus – Starfall Street

Despite being located in Tagtree Thicket – one of the most interesting locations in Scarlet & Violet – Atticus is rather forgettable. His Poison-type team is that of any villainous entity’s crew, all of which are low-level 30s.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Skuntank	Poison/Dark	32
Muk	Poison	32
Revavroom	Steel/Poison	33
Revavroom	Poison	32

11. Normal Gym Leader Larry – Victory Road

Another contender for the best NPC in Scarlet & Violet is Larry. The mundane trainer may not be the most powerful, but he has won the hearts of trainers. You can face him and his team of Normal Pokemon at Medali.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Komala	Normal	35
Dudunsparce	Normal	36
Staraptor	Normal Tera Type	36

12. Ghost Gym Leader Ryme – Victory Road

Ryme takes things up a notch with her team of level 40+ Pokemon. As they are Ghost-type, she is sure to pack a punch against unprepared trainers. That said, players can find her in the snowy town of Montenevera.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Mimikyu	Ghost/Fairy	41
Banette	Ghost	41
Houndstone	Ghost	41
Toxtricity	Ghost Tera Type	42

13. Paradox Donphan – Path of Legends

Taking a break from trainer battles, players can set their sights on the next titan, Past or Future Donphan. Depending on the version you’re playing, a different paradox Donphan is lurking in Asado Desert, waiting to reward trainers with the gliding ability.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Iron Treads	Ground/Steel	44
Great Tusk	Ground/Fighting	44

14. Psychic Gym Leader Tulip – Victory Road

Tulip is one of the toughest gym leaders for those aimlessly walking around Paldea. With a team of Psychic Pokemon in their mid-40s, this isn’t an easy battle to win. But for the brave trainers looking to take on the next boss, you can find Tulip in the mountaintop town of Alfornada.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Farigiraf	Normal/Psychic	44
Gardevoir	Psychic/Fairy	44
Espathra	Psychic	44
Florges	Psychic Tera Type	45

15. Ice Gym Leader Grusha – Victory Road

After Tulip, you’re going to have to journey all the way across the map to take on Grusha. He is the Ice-type gym leader in Glaseado Mountain. While he is a tough opponent, he is yet another battle that is made easier for those who chose Fuecoco.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Frosmoth	Ice/Bug	47
Beartic	Ice	47
Cetitan	Ice	47
Altaria	Ice Tera Type	48

16. Team Star Leader Ortega – Starfall Street

Ortega is the Fairy-type Team Star Leader located in the far regions of North Province (Area Three). Breaking into the level 50 barrier, players will have to take on his powerful team with Steel or Poison types.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Azumarill	Water/Fairy	50
Wigglytuff	Normal/Fairy	50
Dachsbun	Fairy	51
Revavaroom	Fairy	50

17. Dondozo & Tatsugiri – Path of Legends

This titan battle introduces the unique team ability of Dondozo and Tatsugiri. At first, you’ll face off against a lone Tatsugiri in Casseroya Lake, but the second fight will be against Dondozo who is piloted by said Tatsugiri.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Tatsugiri	Water	55
Dondozo	Water/Dragon	55

18. Team Star Leader Eri – Starfall Street

The final challenge to complete the Path of Legends is taking on Eri’s incredibly powerful Fighting-type team. Nearing level 60 and wedged in the upper righthand corner of North Province (Area One), players will have to effectively counter Eri’s intense team of powerhouses.

Pokemon	Type	Level
Toxicroak	Poison/Fighting	55
Passimian	Fighting	55
Lucario	Fighting/Steel	55
Annihilape	Fighting/Ghost	55
Revavroom	Fighting	56
