Tackling the Normal-type Gym in Pokemon Scarlet requires players to solve a unique puzzle inside the city of Medali. To earn the right to challenge Gym Leader Larry, trainers must figure out a secret menu order at the local Treasure Eatery restaurant. Gathering clues from other patrons in town usually points players toward the correct order, but entering the combination directly speeds up the process significantly.
The Solution to the Medali Gym Secret Menu
To successfully pass the Medali Gym Test, players must speak with the eatery waiter and order the exact four-part dish. The correct sequence starts with selecting the Grilled Rice Balls as the main entree for the meal. Following the main item selection, you need to specify a Medium serving size to match the secret recipe specifications.
Next, the waiter will ask how you want the dish prepared, which requires choosing Extra medium, Fire Blast style. To finish the order, select Lemon as the garnishing ingredient to complete the combination. Submitting these choices triggers the challenge sequence and unlocks the arena for your official battle with Larry.
How the Clues Lead to the Secret Dish
Each clue scattered throughout Medali town corresponds directly to one part of the secret meal. Battling local trainers reveals hints about looking closely at blue spots, checking street food carts, and listening to regular restaurant customers. Investigating these locations yields the exact options needed for the server at the front desk.
While finding every hint is intended to guide first-time players naturally, skipping the search is entirely valid. Entering the correct sequence right away allows trainers to bypass the clue-hunting phase without missing any story progress or rewards. This flexibility makes the Medali Gym test one of the most memorable challenges in Paldea.
Preparing for the Normal Gym Battle
Once the secret menu item is ordered, the dining area transforms into a Pokemon battle court. Larry relies on Normal-type Pokemon, including Komala, Dudunsparce, and Staraptor, making Fighting-type moves exceptionally effective during the fight. Bringing strong Fighting-type attackers ensures you can handle the high physical damage output from his team.
Defeating Larry grants players the Normal Gym Badge, increasing the level cap for obedient Pokemon and unlocking new TMs. Successfully completing the restaurant order is the essential gateway to earning this badge and advancing through the Victory Road storyline.
