Pokémon Scarlet and Violet/Epilogue

Starting the Epilogue To start the Epilogue, the major story events of the game and DLC should be more or less completed. Furthermore, a special berry item must be downloaded from the Internet via the Mystery Gift function to enable to Epilogue to be played. Exposition Once the above is complete, visit the shop in Kitakami, and investigate the statue just to the right of the shopkeeper. This will kick off the events of the epilogue. A cutscene will play directing the player back to their home where the game started in Paldea, and further cutscenes will play. The player will then be directed to go to the gates of Mesagoza. From there, the player will go to Kitakami. From there to Kieran and Carmine's family house, leading to more cutscenes and exposition. Start of Gameplay The player will then be directed to look for the remote control for the television in the community center. It can be found hidden in a potted plant on the right hand side of the screen. The player will be directed to the square, which begins the gameplay portion of the DLC. It is not particularly challenging compared to the earlier portions of the game, but it would be a good idea to have a healed and battle ready team for this section. A double battle against two trainers from the orchard will commence, with Kieran assisting the player character. After winning the battle, the player should heal at the center if needed, then should follow Nemona to the Festival area. At the gate the player will encounter Yukito and Hideko, the grandparents of Keiran and Camine. A cutscene will play with some exposition showing how these strange behavior is initiated, and a double battle starts, with the player character and Keiran facing off against Yukito and Hideko. Again, this battle is nothing special compared to earlier ones in the game, and Keiran has his full team of 6 to assist the player. + Opposing Team Roster Grandpa Yukito's Roster Grandma Hideko's Roster Arbok ♂ - Level 80 Chandelure ♀ - Level 82 Wheezing ♂ - Level 80 Mamoswine ♀ - Level 82 Escalation Following the battle, a cutscene will play where Arven calls the player and is cut off. Return to town and a new cutscene will play. Having consumed the mochi flung from the new Pokémon, Arven and Penny will begin to defend it. When the cutscene ends, the player will have an opportunity to heal their team at the Pokémon Center if needed, and can interact with Arven and Penny to start the a double battle alongside Kieran. +Opposing Team RosterPokémon Trainer ArvenPokémon Trainer PennyGreedent ♂ - Level 82Umbreon ♂ - Level 84Cloyster ♂ - Level 82Sylveon ♀ - Level 85Mabosstiff ♂ - Level 83Leafeon ♀ - Level 84 This double battle offers more resistance then the others in the epilogue so far, but again, it's nothing compared to what was found earlier in the game. Keiran brings in a full team of 6 Pokémon, so as long If the player brings in a full battle ready team of similar level themselves and doesn't deliberately throw the match, the possibility of loss is next to nothing as the player will effectively have twice the number of Pokémon as the opposing team. A cutscene will play and Keiran will chase after the Pokémon through the orchard. Heal up at the Pokémon center if needed, and continue. on to the entrance of Loyalty Plaza for a cutscene encounter with Nemona. At the end of the cutscene, Keiran will guard the player from the villagers, freeing the player to dual with Neomna. The game does not force this battle afterwards, so it is possible to save, heal, change the party, or otherwise leave and come back if needed. When ready, interact with Nemona to start the battle. +Nemona's RosterIf you started with a fire typeIf you started with a water typeIf you started with a grass typeLycanroc ♀ - Level 86Kommo-o ♀ - Level 86Milotic ♀ - Level 86Pawmot ♂ - Level 86Goodra ♀ - Level 86Mewoscarada ♂ - Level 87 This is the most challenging match in the Epilogue. Lycanroc can start by using stealth rock, punishing swapping out Pokémon. Kommo-o will effectively counter leading with Skeledirge, having the soundproof ability to negate Torch Song. Most members of the opposing team have a move that is super effective against fire, meaning it may be best to lead with other Pokémon. Having a dragon or a fairy type can make this battle much easier. Her final Pokemon, Meowscarada, will terrastalize into a Dark type, negating the weakness to Fire, and offering an advantage against ghost types, further countering Skeledirge. After the battle, you'll have a chance to heal and save. Interact with the Pokémon to be given the option of challenging it. During the battle, the Pokémon can't be caught, so focus on using moves such as ghost type, which are supereffective against the Ghost and Poison typing used by the opposing Pokémon. It knows Shadow Ball and Nasty Plot. Once it's health is depleted fully, the game will prompt the player to catch it. Consider picking a ball that matches it thematically rather then worry about effectiveness. When caught the Pokémon is level 88 and knows the move Nasty Plot, Malignant Chain, Shadow Ball, and Toxic. A cutscene will play concluding the primary portion of the epilogue. The player character is transferred to the community center following this - Leave it to initiate another cutscene. The game then returns the player to the interior lobby of the Paldean academy, with an increase to the number of the people which can be invited to the clubroom at Blueberry Academy. 75%
