How to Recruit Penny, Arven, and Nemona as Special Coaches in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: Indigo Disk

You can bring every gym leader and elite four members to Blueberry Academy… but what about your best Paldean pals, Arven, Nemona, and Penny? Turns out, they can visit too. But only if you jump through some pretty big campaign hoops.

To invite Arven, Nemona, and Penny to the Blueberry Academy, you’ll need to do the following:

  • Complete the main campaign for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
  • Win the Trainer Academy Tournament in Paldea.
  • Complete the Indigo Disk DLC.
  • Unlock Special Coaches in the League Club.
  • Head to Katakami and lift the Mochi, Mochi Curse.

Once you’ve done all that, you’ll get a notification saying that “New trainers can be invited to the League Club”. These new trainers, of course, are Arven, Penny, and Nemona.
