Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Normal Gym test answers

1 December, 2022

If you’ve reached Medali in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet you will need to complete a test before taking on the Normal-type Gym challenge. You’re tasked with working out how the locals order from the Treasure Eatery, a nearby restaurant. Once you’ve done so, you will be eligible to take on Larry at the Medali Gym, and earn a Gym Badge.

To solve the Normal Gym test you will need to collect four clues. Three of them can be obtained by battling three trainers found in Medali town. These trainers will offer up their clues after they have been beaten.

Here’s the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Medali Normal Gym test answers, and how to order a dish from Treasure Eatery like the locals do. Note that for this challenge, you will want your Pokémon to be around level 35. Let’s get started!
