Best gym order in scarlet and violet Pokémon

One of the three main stories that you can follow in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is Victory Road, where you challenge eight gym leaders and Elite Four to become the best as nobody ever was. With the new open world design, knowing the best gym order in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is beneficial to get the most out of the challenge.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, players can freely choose in which direction to travel and, in turn, in which order to complete the gyms. While this is an excellent change to the typically linear formula when faced with gym leaders, the levels of their Pokémon are not climbed depending on the player's Pokémon.

Because there is no level scale in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, it is better to fight against gym leaders in a specific order that takes into account their levels. Here is the best order to fight gyms:

In what order should I go to each gym in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? Answered

• Short gym with Kathy, leader of the Gymnasium Error
• Amazon gym with grass gym leader Cassius
• Leonardo gym with Ion electric gym leader
• Cascara gym with Gym Leader Tofu water
• Medal gym with the normal gym leader Larry
• Connemara Gym with Ghost Gym Leader Rhyme
• Born gym with leader of Psychic Gym Julian
• Gassed gym with Grus ha ice gym leader
• Elite four
• Upper champion

Challenge gyms in this order will ensure that your Pokémon are properly level in each step of the trip. Leaving order will result in the possibility of facing gyms that are much stronger at the beginning, while facing gyms that are too easy later in the game.

After defeating the eight gym leaders, the next challenge is to overcome the four elites and the main champion to become the champion. Players must complete the eight gyms before they can access them as part of their trip.

This is the best gym order in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. To get more information about Pokémon, take a look at the guide on the customization of characters in scarlet and violet.
