Navigating the Paldea region in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet offers trainers a wide variety of unique challenges, including the distinct Medali Gym test. Instead of traditional combat gauntlets, this trial requires players to solve a community mystery by ordering a secret menu item at the local Treasure Eatery. Successfully figuring out the correct combination reveals the battle arena and summons the Normal-type Gym Leader, Larry.
Where to Find the Treasure Eatery in Medali
Medali is located in the northwestern region of Paldea, serving as a bustling commercial hub for travelers and local workers. The Treasure Eatery is situated near the eastern Pokémon Center inside a distinctive white building featuring a bright red awning. Once inside, players can speak with the order-taker in the green apron to begin submitting their order choices.
Gathering the Clues Around Town
Trainers who prefer to uncover the clues independently must battle three student trainers located across Medali. Each defeated trainer grants a hint pointing to specific locations around town, such as an ice cream stand, the local amphitheater, and a blue Squawkabilly. Additionally, speaking with a regular customer sitting inside the Treasure Eatery reveals how locals like to season their food.
The Correct Secret Menu Combination
To pass the test instantly, players can input the precise four-part dish order without gathering every clue manually. The correct order begins by selecting Grilled Rice Balls, followed by choosing a Medium Serving. Finally, select Extra Crispy, Fire Blast Style for the cooking method and add Lemon as the preferred topping.
Preparing for the Medali Gym Battle
Submitting the correct secret dish immediately transforms the central dining area into an official Pokémon battle ring. Gym Leader Larry uses a balanced team of Normal-type Pokémon, including Komala, Dudunsparce, and Staraptor. Bringing powerful Fighting-type moves allows trainers to hit these foes hard and claim victory to secure the Medali Gym Badge.
