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.
