2. Unlocking Post-Game Content

Once the main story ends, you’ll receive messages from several characters. Here’s what unlocks next:

  • Academy Ace Tournament (School Battle Tournament) → Talk to Director Clavell and complete this special challenge featuring strong opponents like Nemona and Penny.
  • Rematch All Gym Leaders → Each Gym Leader now has stronger Pokémon teams — this is a great way to earn more cash and experience.
  • Unlocking Legendary Pokémon → You can find and catch the Treasures of Ruin (Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, Chi-Yu) hidden across Paldea.

3. Detailed Guide: The Academy Ace Tournament

Once you’ve rematched all Gym Leaders, return to Naranja (Scarlet) or Uva (Violet) Academy. Participate in the Ace Tournament against various students and teachers. The tournament has four random rounds, and the final opponent is typically Nemona with her champion-level team.
