Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Academy Ace Tournament guide: All trainers and teams

After rematching all eight gym leaders in Paldea, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players can take on the Academy Ace Tournament, and here is how to defeat all 13 trainers in the post-game.

There are quite a few things for trainers to do after they’ve taken on Professor Sada/Turo and returned to the surface. They will be challenged with rematching all eight gym leaders, can take on powerful Tera Raids, and even fight in the Academy Ace Tournament.

The brainchild of Nemona, the Academy Ace Tournament allows players to face off against Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s School teachers, rivals, and Elite Four members. And if you manage to make it through all four rounds, players can earn valuable rewards.

This guide will show players how to beat every trainer in the Academy Ace Tournament.

Note: On a player’s first attempt of the tournament, they will always face Arven, Jacq, Dendra, and Geeta. Every attempt afterward is random.
