Pokémon Violet challenges players with unique puzzles that combine exploration and deduction. One of the most memorable challenges takes place in Medali Town, where trainers must order a specific secret menu item at the Treasure Eatery. Fulfilling this test successfully unlocks the town's Normal-type Gym battle against the popular leader, Larry.
Gathering the Clues from Medali Citizens
To discover the correct combination, players must battle three specific students scattered across the town. Each defeated trainer provides a unique hint regarding the exact ingredients needed for the order. These clues point toward specific items, locations, and conversations found only within Medali.
The first student advises checking what the regular customer at the back of the restaurant is eating. The second hint points to the ice cream stand down the street, while the final clue requires finding a dark spot nearby. Gathering these individual hints ensures you do not waste resources guessing blindly at the counter.
Cracking the Secret Ingredient Riddles
Visiting the regular customer reveals that the dish requires a serving of lemon to add the perfect amount of zest. Investigating the nearby ice cream stands reveals that grilled rice balls are a staple pairing for this specific local meal. These distinct components begin to form the blueprint of the required culinary order.
For the final portions of the order, players must discover the proper cooking method and serving size. Interacting with the student near the amphitheater reveals that a fire blast style provides the optimal level of heat. The student near the stairwell confirms that a medium serving size perfectly satisfies the restaurant's traditional requirements.
Placing the Correct Order at the Counter
Once all four clues are successfully gathered, walk up to the waiter standing at the front of the Treasure Eatery. The restaurant staff will prompt you with a series of multiple-choice options to verify your knowledge. Selecting the correct sequence completes the Medali Gym test immediately.
Choose the grilled rice balls as the base dish, followed by the medium serving size option. Next, specify the extra crispy, Fire Blast style cooking method to achieve the proper texture. Finalize the request by adding lemon as the complementary topping to finish the puzzle correctly.
Unlocking the Normal Type Gym Battle
Getting the order right prompts the chef to prepare the legendary local dish in the kitchen. This culinary success transforms the restaurant bar into an official battlefield arena. Larry will then step forward to accept your challenge in a competitive match.
Defeating Larry rewards trainers with the official Medali Gym Badge and a powerful Technical Machine. Understanding this solution saves valuable time and lets you progress smoothly through the Paldea region story. Prepared trainers can easily overcome this obstacle and move closer to the Champion Assessment.
