Players exploring the Paldea region in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet encounter a unique challenge when visiting the Medali Gym. Instead of navigating a standard maze or obstacle course, trainers must pass a special test by correctly placing an order at the local Treasure Eatery. Understanding the exact answers and requirements for this secret dish allows players to quickly unlock the battle against Larry, the Normal-type Gym Leader.
Requirements for the Medali Gym Challenge
Before you can attempt the Gym Test in Medali, you must register with the staff member inside the Medali Gym building. Once signed up, your objective is to head to the Treasure Eatery and speak with the waiter waiting near the entrance. While the game encourages you to defeat three local student trainers to collect clues around town, completing these battles is technically optional.
The Secret Menu Item Solution
To pass the challenge immediately, you simply need to select the four correct order choices when speaking with the staff member. The first selection required for the dish is Grilled Rice Balls. Next, you must request a Medium serving size. When asked about the cooking method, select Extra Crispy, Fire Blast style. Finally, complete the order by requesting Lemon as the garnish.
Where the Clues Are Found in Medali
For players who prefer to discover the answers naturally, the clues are scattered among specific locations in Medali. A regular customer inside the restaurant reveals the lemon seasoning preference after you talk to him at the counter. Defeating the three student trainers around town reveals hints pointing to the ice cream stall menu, the local amphitheater stairs, and a street chatter Squawkabilly.
Preparing for the Gym Leader Battle
Submitting the correct four answers transforms the main dining room of the Treasure Eatery into an official battle arena. You will face Larry, who utilizes Normal-type Pokemon including Komala, Dudunsparce, and Staraptor. Bringing strong Fighting-type moves or Pokemon with high defense ensures a smooth victory once the secret menu puzzle is solved.
