How to Replay Academy Ace Tournament in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

The Academy Ace Tournament in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet serves as a nice little capstone on the post-game; a big tournament to decide the strongest trainers in the school while promoting camaraderie and competition and all that jazz. But just because it’s a big tournament doesn’t mean it’s a one-off affair! Here’s how to replay the Academy Ace Tournament in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

How to Replay Academy Ace Tournament in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

After you successfully win the Academy Ace Tournament for the first time in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s post-game, the blue-shirted guy will remain at the Academy’s front desk. Apparently, the entire faculty and student body can be ready at a moment’s notice to do the whole thing all over again; all you need to do is talk to the blue-shirted guy, and you can play through the whole tournament again as many times as you like.

• Nemona
• Arven
• Penny
• Jacq
• Dendra
• Saguaro
• Salvatore
• Tyme
• Miriam
• Raifort
• Hassel
