Best Story Campaign Level Order in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

While you can beat the Paldea region’s various Gyms, Titan Pokemon, and Team Star Crews in any order you want, you shouldn’t – not if you don’t want your butt kicked, anyway. The Pokemon Company promotes the freedom to do whatever you want in Gen 9, but seriously, unless you’ve over-leveled your ‘mon, you’re better off sticking to a set path. Here is the best story campaign level order in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Which Story Order Path to Take in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

This path combines Victory Road (Gyms), Path of Legends (Titan Pokemon), and Team Star Bases (Starfall Street) into one strict order to follow. This doesn’t mean you necessarily need to follow it to a T but it will definitely help to avoid any misfortune. None of the three paths scale with your level in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, meaning if you head to Glaseado Gym at level 15, for example, you’re in for a world of hurt.

If you’d rather do each path individually, here is the best order for all three:

• Best Gym Order in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
• Best Titan Pokemon Order in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
• Best Team Star Starfall Street Order in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
