Navigating through Paldea in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet brings a variety of unique Gym Tests, but few are as memorable as the scavenger hunt in Medali. To challenge Larry, the Normal-type Gym Leader, trainers must decipher clues scattered across the city to order a secret dish at the Treasure Eatery. Unlocking this special order requires talking to local residents, battling fellow students, and paying close attention to hidden details throughout the town.
Locating Medali and Beginning the Gym Test
Medali is situated in the western region of Paldea, easily accessible by following the main roads from Cascarrafa. Once you arrive, head directly to the Medali Gym building to register for the local Gym Test. The receptionist will instruct you to discover the secret menu item served at the famous Treasure Eatery restaurant nearby.
Instead of guessing blindly, players are encouraged to explore the streets and challenge three specific student trainers who hold vital clues. Each defeated trainer reveals a hint pointing toward one component of the final secret dish. Gathering all four pieces of information ensures you order the exact meal required to advance.
Gathering the Four Secret Dish Clues
The first clue comes from a student named Adara near the food stalls, who tells you to find the odd item at an ice cream stand. Checking the nearby stand reveals an unusual option: Grilled Rice Balls. Another student named Gisela directs you to a dark spot surrounded by stairs, where inspecting a metal door near the amphitheater reveals faint writing that says Fire Blast.
For the third clue, speak with Santiago in the southern plaza, who advises listening to a blue bird Pokemon. Nearby, a Squawkabilly perched on an NPC's head repeatedly squawks "Meedyum," indicating a medium serving size. Finally, enter the Treasure Eatery and speak to the regular customer dining at the bar, who reveals that locals always season their food with fresh lemon.
Ordering the Secret Menu Item at Treasure Eatery
Once you have collected all four hints, return to the waiter standing near the entrance of the Treasure Eatery. When prompted to place your order, select Grilled Rice Balls as the dish and request a Medium Serving. Next, choose Extra Crispy Fire Blast style for the cooking method and top it off with Lemon.
Ordering this precise combination causes the restaurant staff to prepare the meal and triggers the arrival of Larry. Successfully passing the test transforms the dining room into a battle arena where you can earn your Normal-type Gym Badge. Knowing the solution allows players to complete the challenge quickly or even skip the trainer battles altogether.
