Scarlet & Violet level caps
A level cap is the level of the opponent’s strongest Pokémon. In a Hardcore Nuzlocke, no Pokémon in your party may be above the cap when the battle starts. Scarlet and Violet let you take gyms, Titans and Team Star bases in almost any order. This table uses the recommended order by level.
The biggest jump in the main story is +6 levels, from Larry (Lv 36) to Ryme (Lv 42). Plan your training before it.

Nuzlocke tips for Scarlet & Violet
- Because the order is open, your caps depend on the route you take. The table follows the recommended order by level.
- Gym leaders Terastallize their ace into their gym type. Plan for the Tera type, not the Pokémon’s original typing.
- The Exp. Share is always on. The DLC battles of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero are listed separately.
New to the challenge? Start with the Nuzlocke rules, or bring friends with the Soul Link rules.
FAQ
What is the first level cap in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?
The first cap is level 15: Katy’s strongest Pokémon is Teddiursa at level 15. Keep every party member at or below level 15 for that battle.
What level is the Champion in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?
Geeta sets the final main-story cap at level 62, with Glimmora as the ace.
How many boss battles are there in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?
This guide lists 29 main-story battles and 48 post-game battles for Scarlet.
Can I play a randomized Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Nuzlocke?
The PokéRuns Randomizer supports the official games of generations I–V, so Pokémon Scarlet and Violet can’t be randomized with it. You can still track a regular Nuzlocke or Soul Link of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with PokéRuns.
