One of the more interesting aspects of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Gym route is the ‘Challenge’ system. Each Gym will offer a unique challenge, and once completed, only then will you be able to take on that city’s Gym Leader. These challenges could be anything from winning an auction in a port town to finding rampant Sunflora.
Medali is arguably the most difficult of the challenges because the solution is not immediately obvious. Larry, despite being a rather mundane bloke, clearly has an eye for mystery. To complete this challenge, you will need to hunt down four parts to a hidden recipe and then order it. Simple, right?

Medali City Secret Menu Item
In an odd twist of fate, Game Freak decided not to randomise Secret Menu Items for this challenge. Instead, they opted to keep it the same across all games – even across versions of said game. If you want to uncover the recipe yourself, then you are going to have to hunt down all of the trainers in Medali. We have a dedicated guide for that, and you can find it here.
If you want to skip to the end, well, all you have to do is punch in the right order from the get-go, and you will instantly complete the challenge.
The Secret Menu Item is as follows:
- Grilled Rice Balls
- Medium
- Extra Crispy. Fire Blast Style
- Lemon
Once you have ordered the correct item, the restaurant will transform into a battle arena. Not only that, all the patrons who were enjoying their meals will vanish in a puff of smoke. Where do they go? Nobody knows. Larry is a man of many hidden passions, so their fate could remain a mystery forever.
Defeat Larry and you are done with Medali and can continue your journey towards Champion.
