Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: All Team Star Boss Rematches

Team Star may have reformed and turned a new leaf by the end of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, that doesn't mean they're not still ready to take you on again.

You can rechallenge all five Team Star Bosses in the postgame, and we've got all of their teams here for you to study up on.

Here's how to rematch, and beat, all Team Star Bosses.

How to unlock Team Star Boss rematches

Just like with Gym Leader rematches, you'll unlock Team Star Rematches once you've beaten the main story.

The Team Star Bosses still exist on the map — though they're now unmarked — but they're now called Star Training Centers (STC). All you have to do is head to the base on the map and talk to the leader to challenge them again.

You don't unlock anything for beating their new teams — which are all level 65 and 66 — but it's good, easy experience for lower-level Pokémon. Plus, unlike the Gym Leader Rematches, you can challenge all five leaders once a day.

What does training at the STC do?

If you examine the bell at the front of any of the Bases, you can take part in a harder version of Star Barrage.

This time, you'll have 10 minutes to beat 50 Pokémon using Let's Go and your first three Pokémon in your party. You'll still be able to heal using vending machines or Clive, but you'll have to take on more, stronger Pokémon in the same time limit. They're a lot more spread out across the base this time, so if the first few redos take a bit longer, don't be surprised.

If you succeed, you'll be rewarded with LP — really handy for all of those TM recipes! The faster you defeat all 50, the more LP you'll get, so it's worth doing if you happen to be short on LP.

All Team Star Boss rematches

You'll be able to take on each Team Star Boss once per day (as per your Switch's internal clock). Each boss has a brand-new team, and they'll no longer use their Starmobile.

Giacomo, the Dark Crew Base Leader - West Province (Area One)

Giacomo's all-new team is pretty tough, but a really strong Fairy-type is an excellent choice here, as well as a strong Fighting-type. We used Tinkaton for most of the fight but also had Ground, Rock, and Ice-type moves ready. Kingambit is your most dangerous foe here, but if you have a Hariyama, Annihilape, Koraidon, Iron Hands, or Iron Valiant, you'll be cosy.

Mela, the Fire Crew Base Leader - East Province (Area Two)

A team of all Fire-types suggests that Water, Ground, and Rock are your best allies here — and the are. Quaquavel can make short work of Mela's team, but Tatsugiri, Palafin, Glimmora, Clodsire, Krookodile, Garchomp, and Tyranitar are also perfect. Dark-type moves and Fighting-type moves will help if you're struggling with her Houndoom or Armarouge.

Atticus, the Poison Crew Base Leader - Tagtree Thicket

Poison types only have a few weaknesses — Psychic and Ground — so Armarouge, Farigiraf, Gallade, Clodsire, and Espathra are great. You'll need a Ground-type 100% for revavroom and Skuntank, the latter of which Atticus brings out first. Or you can have a Gallade on deck. Ice and Electric-types are good back-ups for Dragalge and Toxapex

Ortega, the Fairy Crew Base Leader - North Province (Area Three)

Fairy is another type that has limited weaknesses, but if you have good Poison and Steel Pokémon, then you'll come up trumps. Kingambit, Tinkaton, Glimmora, Clodsire, Revavroom, and Iron Moth make for an excellent team, but if you want some variety to help with Azumarill and Klefki, you can bring a Ceruledge or Bellibolt for some Fire and Electric power.

Eri, the Fighting Crew Base Leader - North Province (Area Two)

Eri's Fighting-type team is weak to Fairy, Flying, and Psychic-types — Armarouge, Gardevoir, Talonflame, Dachsbun, Noivern, Scream Tail, Iron Valiant, and Espathra are a selection we'd recommend. Psychic should be your priority, though, and Armarouge can take on Lucario with its Fire weakness. Skeledirge and Ceruledge might also come in handy with their Ghost-typing against Annihilape.

Battles and experience are the true rewards here, right? Make sure you check out the rest of our Pokémon Scarlet & Violet walkthrough guides for more tips and tricks for your Paldean journey!
