How to start the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet epilogue

By Jesse Lennox January 11, 2024

The DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was always known to be two parts: The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk. That said, not every question will be answered even after finishing the final bit of content in the latter DLC. Thankfully, GameFreak is giving us one last reason to return to Paldea to wrap up our adventure for good. This epilogue is totally free and even brings in one last Pokemon to catch called Pecharunt, but it is a little tricky to start. This short little challenge includes a few new fights, meeting up with some old friends, and wrapping up the story, so let’s close this chapter of our Pokemon adventure.

You can’t start the epilogue until you’ve beaten all the main content of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, as well as both DLCs, The Teal Mask and Indigo Disk. So long as you’ve done that, once you boot up the game, you must collect the Mythical Pecha Berry. Instead of just finding or being given this item, you need to claim it as a Mystery Gift through the Poke Portal. Select Mystery Gift -> Recieve Via Internet and then choose the Mythical Pecha Berry Gift.

With this item in your inventory, make your way to Kitakami and to Mossui Town. Find Peachy’s shop near the Community Center, and you will have the option to interact with a pink plush toy on the counter. This will trigger a cutscene and kick off this last adventure.

How to evolve Inkay into Malamar in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk

An inkay about to evolve in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

There has always been a select few Pokémon that have more obscure ways to get them to evolve. In the early games, the trickiest ways revolved around trading, but as the generations passed, new and fourth-wall-breaking methods began creeping in. Inkay was one of the most tricky to evolve when it debuted on the 3DS, but now that it's back in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk.

Considering we're no longer in the two-screen system days, the old evolution method had to be tweaked for the new hardware. Whether you know the old way or not, here's what your Pokédex won't tell you about evolving Inkay into Malamar.

Everyone remembers their first Pokémon. No matter which generation you started the series with, you more than likely formed a strong bond with whichever starting Pokémon you chose. Each new entry provides new starters, which is always great to allow new monsters to get the spotlight, but there's no denying that we always love to be able to get our old favorites back.

For the first time in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, all the starters from every single game have been put back in the game with The Indigo Disk DLC. Just like with Legendaries, though, you can't just go out there and find them right away.
