Navigating through Paldea in Pokemon Scarlet brings trainers face-to-face with unique challenges, including the famous gym test at the Medali Gym. To challenge Gym Leader Larry, players must solve a local riddle by figuring out a secret order at the Treasure Eatery restaurant. Understanding how to gather the right clues around town makes completing this quest straightforward and stress-free.
Understanding the Medali Gym Challenge
Unlike standard Pokemon gym tests that focus purely on combat, Medali requires trainers to interview other patrons across the town. Each patron provides a subtle hint that corresponds to one part of the restaurant's secret menu order. Gathering these individual clues is essential for ordering the exact meal required to unlock the battle.
The challenge rewards thorough exploration and encourages players to talk to NPCs who are enjoying their time around Medali. Once all four clues are collected, you can approach the eatery waiter to place the secret order.
The Clues Scattered Around Medali Town
To uncover the secret menu items, you must challenge three other trainers around town and speak to a regular customer inside the restaurant. Defeating the trainers unlocks clues regarding the dish type, the serving size, and the special seasoning required. The customer sitting at the bar gives away the final ingredient needed to complete the combination.
These clues point directly to grilled rice balls, a medium portion size, extra high-heat fire blast style, and a touch of lemon garnish. Combining all four hints creates the secret order that triggers the gym battle sequence.
How to Place the Correct Secret Order
Once you are ready to order, head inside the Treasure Eatery and speak with the waiter standing near the main counter. You will be presented with four distinct dialogue options, each requiring you to select the correct item from your clues. Choosing the wrong option will simply cause the waiter to bring out a normal dish, requiring you to try again.
To succeed, select Grilled Rice Balls as your main dish, followed by Medium Serving as the portion size. Next, choose Fire Blast (Extra High Heat) for the cooking method, and finish by choosing Lemon as the topping.
Unlocking the Gym Battle with Larry
After placing the correct order, the waiter will accept your request and initiate a transformation inside the dining hall. The central tables move aside to reveal a full-sized Pokemon battle arena built directly into the restaurant floor. Gym Leader Larry will then step forward to test your skills in battle.
Conquering this secret order test is a memorable highlight of Pokemon Scarlet, blending mystery-solving with classic Gym Leader battles. Knowing the exact combination allows players to progress smoothly along the Victory Road storyline.
