Walkthrough:Pokémon Scarlet and Violet/Part 12
Crashing into Cascarrafa
Our next stop is the Gym in Cascarrafa so we’ll be flying back to the western side of the map. Fly back to the nearest Pokémon Center that you’ve unlocked, which if you’ve been following this guide should be West Province (Area One) - North. Following the path heading North from the Center will lead you straight to Cascarrafa.
Before you challenge the Gym here there are plenty of shops you can visit in the city. It’s split over three layers with an elevator that will take you between the layers of the city.

Getting Gym Tested
Cascaraffa’s Gym is right at the top of the city, and you’ll have to take the elevators to get there. However, as you approach the entrance, one of the Gym staff will approach you and tell you that the Gym Leader Kofu has gone shopping, but he left his wallet behind. His assistant asks you to take his wallet to him. Say yes and you’ll be directed to Porto Marinada where the market is.
The easiest way to get here is through the Asado Desert. With our new high jump power it’s easy to jump to the bottom of the city and into the desert. Kofu is a Water-type Gym Leader, and there are some Cacnea in the desert if you need something to deal Super Effective damage. There are also level 40 Pokémon in the desert so be careful what you run into. They will be difficult to catch and won’t obey you until you have Kofu’s badge anyway.
If you go through the desert you might go close to the Quaking Earth Titan triggering Arven’s call. Don’t worry if you do, he’ll wait until you’re ready to take it on, so you can keep heading to Porto Marinada. There is a Pokémon Center as you go down into the town so make sure you trigger it before you go in. The market where Kofu is lies right in the center of town.
Returning the wallet
Before you approach Kofu at the market, make sure that your Pokémon are healed and you have an Electric- or Grass-type in your lead. As soon as you approach Kofu, Gym Trainer Hugo will battle you. He leads with his Floatzel that likes to use Aqua Jet so your speed doesn’t matter too much. By comparison his Clauncher is a lot easier to deal with.

Once you beat Hugo, Kofu will approach you and thank you for returning his wallet. Kofu will then give you 50,000 Poké Dollars and ask you to bid on some seaweed for him, telling you that you can keep the change. It will always go for less than 50,000 Poké Dollars but exactly how much money you receive is random. Just make sure that you bid and you’ll pass the task.
Once you hand the seaweed over to Kofu you will have passed the Gym Test you can fly back to Cascarrafa to go to the Gym and challenge Kofu himself.
Challenging Kofu
As your fourth gym, when you enter Hassel will approach you with a new character Rika. They explain that they are members of the Elite Four, and that they’ve been keeping an eye on your progress. They will leave and you are then free to approach the Gym reception and challenge Kofu. Of course remember to put your best Pokémon at the front of your party before you begin.
Kofu has three Pokémon between levels 29 and 30. He opens with Veluza which has Pluck to counter Grass-types, and his Wugtrio has Mud-Slap to counter Electric-types. Despite this, taking these two types into battle should be relatively safe. The Crabominable hits very hard though, so be careful.
Once you beat Kofu he will give you the Gym Badge, which allows Pokémon up to level 40 to obey you. He gives you the TM for Chilling Water, which is a great move that lowers your opponent’s Attack while dealing damage.
As soon as you finish with Kofu, Nemona will come meet you at the Gym. Don’t worry, she won’t battle you this time, but she will tell you how proud she is of your efforts. With that done we’re ready to take on the next Team Star base.
