While Pokemon Scarlet & Violet has an open world, it doesn’t have level scaling, which is why many players look for the icon order. This is required to properly challenge the gyms so that your Pokémon level is on the same page as theirs. And by following this path, you should enjoy history even more. So, in this guide, check out the best gym progression order to get badges in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
