Before embarking on your journey through Paldea, choose between Sprigatito, Fuecoco, or Quaxly as your first partner Pokémon.

Choose Your Own Path to Champion Status, Compete Against Team Star, and Battle Titan Pokémon!

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - Main Storyline Paths

Your Paldea adventure has no set path, so you can weave freely through your Treasure Hunt, which consists of three grand stories.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - Victory Road Storyline Path

Along Victory Road, you will challenge Gyms in various locations with the goal of reaching Champion Rank.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - Path of Legends Storyline Path

Take on Titan Pokémon that guard rare ingredients on the Path of Legends.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - Starfall Street Storyline Path

In Starfall Street, you’ll use the new Auto-Battle feature to battle Team Star grunts from your school in order to get to their boss.

Due to the Terastal Phenomenon, you will come across Pokémon that shine and glimmer.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - Terastal Phenomenon Overview

Pokémon in the Paldea region can Terastallize, giving them a gemstone-like appearance and special power. Every Pokémon has a Tera Type that is dormant until the Pokémon Terastallizes.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - Eevee Normal Tera Type Crown Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - Eevee Water Tera Type Crown

Most Eevee, for example, will have a Normal Tera Type, but some Eevee will have a Water Tera Type!

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - Terastallized Pokémon

When a Terastallized Pokémon uses a move that matches its Tera Type, the power of that move is increased even more! Terastallizing determines whether a battle is won or lost in the Paldea region.
