This is essentially a small puzzle outside the gym that takes place throughout the town of Medali.

How to Order the Secret Menu Item for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's Medali Gym

When you first enter the Medali Gym Building, the man behind the desk will give you your instructions that'll help you to kick off the Gym Test titled "Order the secret menu item!" What you'll need to do is find clues across the town, and use these clues to figure out what the Secret Menu Item is.

You get a clue, and three Pokemon Trainers scattered around the town will also give up another clue after you defeat them in battle. You can use our Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Type Chart to exploit the weaknesses of these trainers' teams - and then get them to give up their clue by chatting to them.

Each of the clue points you to a location in the town which, when interacted with, gives you up part of the Secret Menu Item ingredients. Put them together and place an order for that exact item to be challenged by the Normal Gym Leader. The clues & answers you require are as follows:
