Defeating Team Star Fire Crew in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

When players explore East Province (Area One) in PokemonScarlet and Violet, they’ll find the base of Team Star’s Fire Crew. But, before you enter this establishment, you should have a fewPokemonthat are at around level 26 to 27 to eliminate the opposing team.

Here is a step-by-step guide to help you beat this powerful group:

Defeating Team Star’s Fire Crew

While at the gate of the base, you must beat the guard of the Fire Crew. This battle isn’t too challenging, and players should be able to eliminate him quickly.

Once inside the base, you’ll begin the Star Barrage phase, which is a 10-minute challenge that involves sending in three Pokemon (the first three within your party) to knock out Fire Crew’s team. If your party is low in health during this battle, you can recover HP from vending machines.

Even if the Star Barrage requires you to beat a hefty amount of Pokemon, this task is relatively straightforward to complete.

Compared to the Star Barrage, the fight against Fire Crew’s boss (Mela) is much more complex and will take some time to achieve. The only way to win this battle is to eliminate Torkoal and the Schedar Starmobile.

Mela’s Level 27 Torkoal has the Drought ability, which powers up Fire-type moves. That said, it’s best to get rid of Drought with other Pokemon abilities, like Psyduck’s Cloud Nine. Players can also eliminate the Torkoal with Ground, Rock, or Water-type moves.

The Level 26 Revavroom (Schedar Starmobile) has a large amount of HP and the ability to Speed Boost. Like Torkoal, players can defeat this Pokemon with Ground, Rock, or Water-type moves.
