How to Begin Starfall Street in Scarlet & Violet

Learn how to begin the Starfall Street path in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. This guide covers when you can start and the initial steps to take on Team Star.

Starfall Street is one of the main story paths in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet where you'll take on the various squads of Team Star. You can tackle this path alongside the other story routes in the game.

You'll be able to start Starfall Street around the 2-hour mark into your game. This is after you've arrived at Naranja (Scarlet) or Uva (Violet) Academy in Mesagoza, the largest city in Paldea, situated just below the big central crater. Once inside the academy, you'll meet Nemona, who will lead you to your classroom. After introducing yourself to everyone, you're free to explore the academy. Head out of the classroom and choose either the Cafeteria or the Staff Room – the guide suggests the Cafeteria.

Following the events in the Cafeteria or Staff Room, try to leave the academy. You'll then receive a call on your Rotom Phone from a mysterious person named Cassiopeia. They'll ask for your help in defeating Team Star, but won't give you many details at this point.

Keep playing the main story for a little while longer until Director Clavell officially announces the start of the Treasure Hunt. As soon as you regain control, start heading towards the exit of the campus. Nemona will walk with you and chat along the way. When you reach the end of your walk, you'll encounter Arven, and the two will have a friendly disagreement.

It's at this moment that Cassiopeia will call you again, this time to give you the full rundown on Team Star. They'll mark five locations on your map, which are the bases of Team Star's crews. Your objective is to visit all five of these bases and defeat their respective bosses. Pretty straightforward, right?
