There are a fair few unlockables in the post-game of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. And there are even more activities you can do as you unlock these things. So let us go through them one by one to see what post-game activities and unlockables you can get in the game.

Unlocking Koraidon and Miraidon Battle Form

After you have done all three main quests of the game, you will be granted access to use your mount in the battle. To use it in battle, you need to swap them in your party from the menu. Then after battle, you can swap it back at their position to use it as a ride.

Completing Pokedex and Shiny Charm

By the time you are done with the story quests, it is certain that you haven’t completed your Pokedex unless you are someone who will go out of their way to complete it before the final mission. So, in the post-game, you can hunt all of the Pokemon to complete the Pokedex. Once you complete all the Pokedex, you will receive the Shiny Charm. This help boosts the chance of encountering a shiny pokemon in the game.

Gym Leader Rematches & Academy Ace Tournament

After completing the game and getting the master ball, you will be tasked with facing the gym leaders again. These rematches amp up the difficulty of the gym encounter, but his time, you don’t need to take the gym tests to battle the leaders. Doing this will unlock the Academy Ace Tournament.

6 Star Tera Raids

If you have been doing Tera Raids in your playthrough, you will have a lot of progress toward unlocking the six-star raids. But if you haven’t done any, do the lower-star Tera raids to unlock the six-star raids in the game. They give some pretty good rewards for clearing each one.
