Tyme Pokémon Academy Bond

Learn how to increase your bond with Ms. Tyme in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Follow these steps to find her and earn valuable Rock Tera Shards!

Hey there! So, you're diving into Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and want to get the most out of your time at the Academy? Awesome! Let's talk about Ms. Tyme and how to build a solid bond with her. It's super easy to miss these side quests when you're caught up in the main story, shiny hunting, or tackling those tough Tera Raids, but trust me, it's worth going back to school for. Maxing out your bond with teachers like Ms. Tyme can net you some really cool and valuable items, and it adds a nice touch of immersion to the game.

The general idea with all the teachers is to first clear their classes and ace those midterm and final exams. It’s way easier to do all that first, then go back and complete all their bond-building events in one go. Once you've aced Ms. Tyme's Mathematics classes, you can then focus on building that friendship.

How to Increase Friendship with Tyme

Here’s how you can boost your bond with Ms. Tyme:

1. Step 1: The Staff Room Question
   First off, you'll want to find Ms. Tyme in the Staff Room. She'll pose a question about Rock-Type moves versus Flying-Type Pokémon. If you're on top of your type matchups, you'll know the answer is that the damage is doubled.
2. Step 2: Entrance Hall Chat
   Next, head over to the Entrance Hall. You'll find Ms. Tyme chilling at the base of the right-hand staircase. Just have a good chat with her to start building that bond.
3. Step 3: Cafeteria Conversation
   Assuming you've completed all the Academy exams, your next stop is the Cafeteria. Look for Ms. Tyme near the stove on the left side. Another chat here will help gain her trust.
4. Step 4: Schoolyard Reward
   Finally, make your way to the Schoolyard. Ms. Tyme will be hanging out near the equipment. After you chat with her one last time, she'll reward you with 50 Rock Tera Shards! See? Close bonds really do pay off!

Just a quick tip: you can find Rock Tera Shards and others by taking on Tera Raid battles of the corresponding type. If you're looking to take down some Rock-types, a strong Water or Grass-type Pokémon like Azumarill or Slowbro would be a great choice for your Tera Raid build.
