Where is Eri’s Fighting Crew Base?
Like all the Gym Leaders and Titans, players are luckily able to see all the Team Star bases on the map, even if they have yet to go there. However, for anyone confused about how to get to the Fighting Crew base, they should travel to the North Province (Area Two) Pokemon Center in the northeastern section of the region.
Once at the Pokemon Center, face east to see the flags for the Fighting Crew Base. When players approach the base, they’ll have to face off against a Team Star grunt namedCarmen.
She’ll send out two Pokemon: a Level 54Croagunkand a Level 55Primeape. To make quick work out of the trainer, try to useFlying and/or Psychic-type moves.
Star Barrage
Like the other bases, players will need to use the first three Pokemon in their party to defeat 30 of Team Star’s Pokemon in under 10 minutes. Players can press the R button to send out their Pokemon to fight, but just make sure that you’re using the best matchups.
If a Pokemon ends up taking a lot of damage, seek out one of the vending machines nearby or speak to Clive at the front of the base. Once the 30 Pokemon are defeated, the fight against Eri will begin.
Eri Boss Battle
As mentioned before, Eri is the most challenging of the Team Star bases, with her having a team of five powerful Pokemon:Toxicroak,Lucario,Passimian,Annihilape, and theCaph Starmobile. Having at least one or two Pokemon that have access to Flying and Psychic-type moves will help out in this battle greatly.
Let’s go overEri’s Pokemon team, as well as their weaknesses and moves:
Rewards for Beating Eri
Upon defeat, Eri will give players their Star Badge and TM167, which is aFighting-type move called Close Combat. It can dish out heavy damage, but it also lowers the user’s defensive stats.
Pokemon trainers will also get loads of League Points (LP) andcrafting materials to make new TMsat the Pokemon Center.
Rematch with Eri (Post-Game)
Once players roll credits onPokemon Scarlet and Violet, they will have a chance (once per day) to have a rematch against the Team Star leaders. Their Pokemon teams will be much stronger but will not include the Starmobile this time around.
Eri’s rematch team consists ofPrimeape,Lucario,Toxicroak,Passimian, andAnnihilape.All five Pokemon are at least one part Fighting-type, so the best types of moves (and Pokemon) to bring to the fight are as follows:
After beating the Team Star leaders,Pokemon Scarlet & Violettrainers will get Prize Money; however, if they participate in the Star Barrage before fighting the bosses, they can earn some League Points, too.
