After the first hour or two of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, depending on how long you reach Mesagoza’s Academy and leave on your treasure hunt, you’ll be allowed to choose your own path. You’ll be loosely directed down three paths: Herba Mystica, Victory Road, or Starfall Street. you’re able to choose any option, but because the game has no levelscaling, you can take a sort of “best path.” Here is our recommendation.
Should I choose Victory Road, Herba Mystica or Team Starfall first in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
If you want to go by the lowest recommended level, head toVictory Roadand Katy, the Bug-type Gym leader in Cortondo. However, the easiest challenges to take on in theHerba Mysticastoryline and onStarfall Streetare not very far off in level, so you could choose to start on any of these story paths if you choose.

It’s important to remember that the three paths inPokémon Scarlet and Violetare not designed to be completed on their own. You should expect to interweave tasks from all three paths on your treasure hunt around Paldea, as well as spend time simply wandering around. This can make your hunt for rare Pokémon to fill up your boxes and Pokédex easier.
