If you’ve already mastered how you can beat Giacomo then it’s seemingly you’re able to tackle Mela, the Fire Crew Leader. 

Although you possibly can face the Bosses in no matter order you select, Mela is the logical subsequent step for finishing Operation Starfall. 

Favouring Fire sort Pokemon, she might be simply defeated by utilizing Rock, Ground or Water sorts. 

However, whereas she might be taken down utilizing the strategic use of sort benefits, you continue to must be at the very least Level 25+ to comfortably beat her. This is why we propose going through Giacomo first as a result of his Pokemon are solely Level 21.

If you’ve gotten all of your bases lined (see what I did there?), then it’s time to pay Mela a go to and take her down a peg or two!

Cassiopeia may also name you and clarify the setup of Mela’s Base, although it’s just about the identical as what you’ve beforehand confronted. 

After the decision ends the Academy Charcadet will seem, having adopted “Clive” to the Base. However, earlier than he can take it house it runs off to seek out Mela – that is your cue to start out kicking butt and taking names. 

Walk as much as the gates and chat with the Grunt, who will flip tail and run to warn the others. 

I want to add that some guides have mentioned you battle this Grunt, nonetheless that wasn’t the case for me. If you do must battle them it’s mentioned they solely use a Level 25 Houndour.

Begin A Star Barrage

Enter the Base and use the R bumper to ship out your first three Pokemon. You must defeat 30 Pokemon in 10 minutes, the identical as earlier than. 

Given that it’s the Fire Crew, I used Azumarill as my Lead Pokemon with Gengar and Murkrow appearing as backup. I didn’t have any Rock or Ground Pokemon on the time, and (rightly) assumed Azumarill would steal the present. 

If you wish to bolster your group with a Rock sort, use my how you can get Larvitar (the simple means) article that will help you out.

Use the merchandising machines if it’s worthwhile to heal, and easily energy your means by means of till you get 30/30.
