crimson and Violet they are the first major games to offer players three main story paths to progress in almost any order they choose. There are a few obstacles here and there, but you are generally free to choose the goal you want to pursue at any time.

Cortondo Gym (bug type)
The first gym you need to tackle based on the level is Cortondo Gym and its manager Katy. This is a bug type gym that will require a team of around 10 or more depending on whether you have a fire, flying or rock type to counter their bug team.
The Cortondo Gym is located in, you guessed it, in the city of Cortondo. It is located west of Mesagoza. The gym itself is in the south end of the city. After completing the gymnastics test, you can challenge Katy to a battle. Here’s their full Pokemon lineup:
- Nymble — Level 14 (bug type)
- Tarountula — Level 14 (bug type)
- Teddiursa — Level 15 (Terra Bug Form Normal Type)
As long as you have at least one type of Pokemon that is super effective against a bug type, this should be the first gym badge you can easily get. You will also get TM021, which is a Pounce move.
Artazon Gym (on grass)
After Bug, the next difficulty level will be the Artazon Grass type gym. This gym is run by Brassius, who also prepares a team of three Pokémon to beat. You’ll want to get to level 15 or so before looking for this one. Grass types are weak to many other types including fire, bug, flying, ice, and poison.
The Artazon gym is located east of Mesagoza. Continue to the southern province and east through the canyon until you see a town with a windmill. The gym itself is located to the right of the aforementioned windmill. Take the test: this is the competition you will face:
- Petlil — Level 16 (Grass Grass)
- Smoliv – Level 16 (Grass/Normal Type)
- Sudowoodo — Level 17 (Rock-type grass-type Terra type)
With so many possible counters, this shouldn’t be a difficult gym to beat. Along with your badge, you’ll also receive a TM020, Trailblaze.
Levincia Gym (electric)
This gym is where the game begins to ramp up in challenge. First of all, getting to Levincia is quite easy since it is one of the biggest cities in the game. It is located north of Artazon and is almost impossible to miss thanks to the huge buildings and floodlights that are illuminated at night. You should be at least level 20 when you go to this gym, but maybe they would recommend level 25. This is because Electric types only have one weakness, which is Ground types, but this Gym Leader is mixing things up. things.
This gym challenge gets you into a few battles, so get ready before the main event against Gym Leader Iono and her team of four. This is what you should prepare for:
- Wattrel – Level 23 (Electric/Flying type)
- Bellibolt — Level 23 (Electric-type)
- Luxio — Level 23 (Electric Type)
- Mismagius — Level 24 (Terra Electric Form Ghost Type)
In addition to Wattrel being a two-type Pokemon, you need to watch out for the latest Mismagius. For this, you’ll want to have a Normal-type on your team to counter the Ghost-type, not just the Ground-type. Go to the top and you will get a badge and TM048 which is for Volt Switch.
Cascarrafa Gym (water)
Fittingly, the water gym is located in the oasis of the complex. Cascarrafa is located southeast of the Asado desert and north of Cortondo. This gym will be another level check for you and we recommend a level 30 or higher team for this one. Water-types are only weak to Grass-types and Electric-types, but like Iono, this Gym Leader doesn’t just use one type of Pokemon.
After a long test in the gym, you can challenge Kofu to a battle. There are only three Pokémon to defeat, but they are all difficult. Here is their list:
- Veluza — Level 29 (Water/Psychic Type)
- Wugtrio — Level 29 (Water Type)
- Crabominable — Level 30 (Terra Water Form Ice/Fighting Form)
The ground and grass types will help you get past his first two Pokemon with no problem, however the grass type is weak to ice so it could be a problem when you get to his Crabominable. Replacing or just sticking with electrical types is a safe bet. It will reward you with your standard badge and TM022 for refreshing water.
Gymnastics Medals (Normal Type)
You can probably do the normal gym right after finishing the Rustless gym, assuming you have the right counters of course. Medali can be reached by heading west from Levincia and passing through Zapapico, or by heading in the direction of Porto Marindo from the Asado desert and then turning northwest. Either way, if you’re level 35, you should be a winner. Normal-type Pokemon aren’t technically weak against any other types, nor are they strong against any, but they are vulnerable to Fighting types. Once again, there is a twist to be prepared for.
Take the required test and then challenge Larry’s team of three. These are the Pokémon that will be thrown at you:
- Komala — Level 35 (Normal Type)
- Dundunsparce — Level 35 (Normal Type)
- Staraptor — Level 36 (Normal/Flying type with normal Terra form)
The flying moves on Larry’s Staraptor can be a problem for those fighting. Since there are no other perks that can be used against normal types, just have a skinny pokemon ready to plow through your last pokemon. Just make sure it’s not a ghost type, as these moves don’t affect normal types. Defeat this normal guy, get your badge and TM025, Façade.
Montenevera Gym (Ghost type)
Speaking of ghost types, your next gym leader specializes in these ghostly Pokémon in Montefridge. This gym is located in the far north of the map. Simply head north through the mountains, following the path, until you reach the town at the top. A team at or around level 40 is recommended for this one. Ghost-types are tricky because they’re weak to Shadow Pokémon, which aren’t very common. Of course, there are some exceptions that you should also prepare for.
Once you’ve warmed up the crowd with a pre-fight test, you can battle Ryme for the badge. This is his team of four:
- Banette — Level 41 (Ghost Type)
- Mimikyu — Level 41 (Ghost/Fairy type)
- Houndstone – Level 41 (Ghost Type)
- Poison — Level 42 (Electric/Poison with Terra Ghost Form)
Once again, the dark Pokemon will be your main strength here, although a good steel type will help with Mimikyu. Once you get to Ryme’s heavy hitter in Toxtricity, draw a strong ground-type to counter. Note that this entire fight will follow the same rules as the battles in the previous test, where knocking out one of Ryme’s Pokemon will give you a stat boost, but knocking yourself out will give his team a boost. Beat Ryme to earn your badge and TM114 for the Shadow Ball move.
Alfornada Gym (psychic type)
Despite being very close to Mesagoza, you’ll want to avoid the Alfornda Gym until this point in the game due to how strong the Pokémon you’ll be up against are. The only way to reach this town is to head southwest from Mesagoza and also unlock the high jump ability for your Legendary Pokemon to climb the mountain path. We recommend having a team close to level 45 to compete with this Gym Leader. Psychic-type Pokemon are weak to Bug, Dark, and Ghost-types, giving you a few options.
After a bit of a long test, Tulipán, the gym leader, will be ready for a duel. Here’s his team’s full lineup:
- Farigiraf — Level 44 (Psychic/Normal Type)
- Gardevoir — Level 44 (Psychic/Fairy type)
- Espathra — Level 44 (Psychic Type)
- Florges — Level 45 Fairy type with Psychic Terra form)
Any good Bug, Dark, or Ghost-type will handle most of Tulip’s team well, but luckily you only need to pack a spare Steel-type to counter their Fairy-types. No other real cheats here, just make sure you play against their guys and win with the badge. You will also get TM120 with the Psychic move.
Glazed Gym (Ice Type)
The eighth and final gym will be Ice type in Glasead. This gym is located at the highest point of Paldea and is not part of any city. You will need to climb to the top of the mountain by heading north from Dalizapa and the snowy mountain road. So far, you need a team that is level 45 or higher to win, but we would say that level 50 is a safe level. Ice Pokemon are weak to Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel types, but Rock and Steel will pull double duty later on, so try to bring at least one of them.
After you finish riding the tracks in the gymnastics test, Grusha will give you a ride. Here’s the creepy crew of her:
- Frostoth — Level 47 (Ice/Bug Type)
- Beartic — Level 47 (Ice type)
- Cetitan — Level 47 (Ice Type)
- Altaria — Level 48 (Dragon/Flying-type with Ice Terra form)
While any of the aforementioned counters are great for your starting lineup, we mentioned Rock and Steel-types because they can take advantage of Ice and Dragon-type weaknesses. Once you defeat her, you will receive your eighth and final Gym Badge, in addition to TM124, Ice Spinner.
