How to Rematch Team Star Leaders in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Nothing says friendship like beating up your friends

If you’ve defeated Team Star in Pokemon Violet and Scarlet, you might be wondering if you can go back and challenge them again. After all, we’ve seen through our interactions with Penny in the Academy how much they’ve grown. And if you can beat the Gym Leaders again, why not the Star Crew?

I’m pleased to report it’s very possible to rematch the Team Star Leaders in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Here’s how to do it.

How to Rematch Team Star Leaders in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

You’ll need to beat the main story if you want to beat your classmates up again. That’s because, after the main story, the Academy Director Clavell will task the Team Star crew with creating Star Training Centers (STC) for other students. You’ll want to approach each of the Team Star Leader’s assigned STCs if you want to rematch them.

And no, you don’t have to do the Star Barrage in order to face them, thank Arceus.
