Starfall Street: Fire Crew Base Guide
Grunt 1 Battle
Before entering the base camp of the Schedar Squad, players will need to battle against a lowly grunt.He will have a Level 25 Houndour on his team.
Since it’s a Fire/Dark-type Pokemon, it can be easilytaken out with a Water, Ground, Fighting, or Rock-type move. After he’s defeated, trainers canpress the button on the gateto enter the camp.
Star Barrage
To start the camp raid, players must run around anddefeat 30 Pokemon under a ten-minute limit. Players canpress the R buttonto send out three Pokemon to battle with the other Pokemon around the camp. There are a lot of Fire-type Pokemon at this camp, sohaving a Water/Rock/Ground-type Pokemon will be helpful.
If players take too much damage, they can heal by speaking to the helper by the front gate or using one of the nearby vending machines. Once the 30 Pokemon are defeated, players will face off against Mela, the boss of the Fire Crew.
How to Beat Mela, Boss of Team Star’s Fire Crew
Mela has two Fire-type Pokemon on her team: a level 27Torkoaland a level 26Revaroom(Schedar Starmobile).
Rewards for Defeating Team Star’s Fire Crew
After beating Mela and her team,Pokemon Scarlet & Violetplayers will be rewarded with a couple of different things:
Rematch with Mela (Post-Game)
AfterPokemon Scarlet & Violetplayers complete all four storylines and roll the end credits, they’ll be able to go to any of the Team Star bases and have a rematch against the Team Star bosses. One fight is allowed per day, and this time, they are much stronger. However, it’s worth noting that none of the bosses will have their Starmobile on their post-game rematch team.
Mela will have five Pokemon on her team, and they are as follows:Torkoal,Coalossal,Houndoom,Arcanine, andArmarouge. Down below, players should be able to see a chart with Mela’s team, along with their weaknesses and movesets. Every Pokemon on her team is at least one part Fire-type, which means players should definitely bring alongPokemon with Water, Rock, and Ground-type moves.
