Path of Legends: Titan Guides
Titan battles are new to this style of Pokemon game. They may remind you of Frenzy Pokemon from Pokemon Arceus, but they are more basic in their gameplay. These Pokemon will need to be tracked down and defeated. After you defeat them once, they will eat a herb and become empowered, and you will then need to defeat them again, with the help of Arven.
These Titans are listed below in the approximate order that you should defeat them based on their level. You are technically able to defeat them in any order, but this order will make for the smoothest gameplay trajectory.

Gym Battles and Victory Road are both nothing new to any Pokemon Trainer. What is new though, is that you can battle gyms in any order you'd like in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. This freedom does exist, but each gym does not scale to your level. There is still a specific order that would best fit the flow of the game, and each Gym Test & Battle Guide below is listed in the order you should complete them in for the smoothest experience.
