There’s a new special type of currency in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet called League Points that trainers need to craft powerful TMs to help them on their journey. Here’s everything you need to know about earning more League Points in Generation 9.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet added many brand new elements to the series, as well as a fully explorable, connected open world and three different story paths to explore over the course of the game.

In one of the three different story paths—Starfall Street—trainers can earn League Points by progressing through the story and taking down the different bosses of Team Star.

League Points are an important currency because they are not only a separate form of money but they are also used to create TMs to teach Pokemon powerful moves. So, here’s everything players need to know about earning more League Points in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

How to earn League Points in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Undoubtedly, one of the easiest ways to earn League Points is by progressing through the Starfall Street storyline, as each Team Star boss player’s defeat will net them a healthy amount of the new currency.

Nonetheless, it’s important to remember that some of Team Star’s bosses pose quite a challenge, so players wanting to know which level each boss is should follow our helpful guide that goes over the recommended level for each main story path.

After beating the Starfall Street storyline, players can rematch Team Star bases to earn more League Points.

However, some players may wonder how they’ll earn more points once they complete the Starfall Street story path. Thankfully, like the Gym Challenge path, players can rematch each of Team Star’s bosses to earn more League Points each round.

In the post-game, each Team Star boss will use a new team of Pokemon that are level 65, so players should bring in a strong team of their own to take them on. Notably, the captains won’t use their Starmobiles in their rematches, so trainers won’t have to worry about fighting it over and over again.

Where to use League Points in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, trainers can freely use League Points as a substitute for money. Although, the best use of League Points is crafting TMs at the TM Machine at any Pokemon Center location.
