Here are a few quests you can complete after the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet credits have run out.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: Where’s the Master Ball?

In every game there is a Master Ball that is always worth picking up.

After the credits roll, go to the director’s office and watch the cutscene.

This will start a short quest line that has a pretty nice reward.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Can you fight the leaders of the arena again?

While in the principal’s office, Nemona will arrive and announce that she wants Geeta to enter a tournament.

Geeta will then leave you in charge of looking after the Paldea gyms.

That means you have to travel to each of the gyms and compete against the bosses there.

All of them now have five Pokemon, all leveled to 60+, making them a much tougher challenge.

Once you defeat them all again, Geeta will give you a new task.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: What is the Academy Ace Tournament?

Nemona will then ask you to enter her tournament, which is taking place at the school.

You will face a group of different students and staff in a series of battles.

Everyone in the tournament has a team of six, all above level 65, who face off against Geeta again in the finals.

You can enter as many times as you like and the people you face will be randomly selected.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: What are Black Crystal Tera Raids?

After you finish an Ace Academy tournament, your biology teacher will contact you to let you know that stronger Pokémon will now appear in Tera Raids.

These raids glow in harsh black lights, allowing you to spot them from afar.

They contain rare Pokémon with fully evolved Pseudo-Legends that reward you with rare items and XL Exp Candy.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Can you fight Team Star again?

The Gym Leaders aren’t the only ones willing to fight you again. Team Star is also happy to take you on.

All bosses have been assigned training centers where you can fight them again.

If you talk to them, they will fight you with a new team of five with levels above 65.

Unfortunately, your Starmobiles are missing.
