While exploring East Province Area One in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you should find the base of Team Star’s Fire Crew. Make sure that your Pokemon are powerful enough before you decide to you enter the base, as the fight will not be easy this early into the game. Your Pokemon should be at least level 25.
The first enemy that you need to beat is the guard of the Fire Crew, which is quite easy. You can get into the base when you are done, which triggers a 10-minute challenge called the Star Barrage phase. You will need to choose three Pokemon to go up against the Fire Crew’s team.
The boss that you will be fighting next is Mela, who has a Level 27 Pokemon called Torkoal. This will be a challenging fight, as the Pokemon will use its Drought ability to boost the Fire-type moves of their team. You can use abilities such as Psyduck’s Cloud Nine to get rid of the effect. Use Ground, Rock, or Water-type moves to take out Torkoal.
