One of the most outstanding features of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is that it allows players to advance at their own pace and go where they want with total freedom. The game’s plot is divided into three different stories. First, the Victory Journey is dedicated to the fight against the eight gym leaders in the Paldea region.
Each specializes in a particular type of Pokemon, but not all have the same levels.
Tulip is the seventh Gym Leader, and besides looking attractive 24/7, she also carries a bunch of psychic Pokemon that can kick your ass if you’re not careful enough
