Tips for Beating Arven: Use a Special Attacker!

Arven is fought in a Double Battle alongside Penny in Mossui Town under Pecharunt's control. His Pokemon are all relatively bulky on the physical side and is harder to take down with a physical attacker due to Penny supporting with Baby-Doll Eyes.

We recommend sending out a strong special attacker, such as a Modest natured Flutter Mane holding a Booster Energy as it's strong enough to overpower both his and Penny's Pokemon with Kieran supporting you.

How to Beat Arven

First You Must Defeat All Titans

Battle Against Arven - Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV)
After defeating all 5 Titans in the Path of Legends storyline, you will be asked to head to the Lighthouse back in Poco Path. A cutscene will trigger inside the laboratory, and upon exiting, Arven will challenge you to a battle.
Path of Legends Walkthrough

Level Up to Lv. 63

Since Arven's Pokemon are at their Evolved forms, the best odds at defeating Arven is to raise your Pokemon to Lv. 63 or higher, Evolving those you can in the process.

Terastallize at the Start of Battle

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Alternate Fuecoco Form
Players can Terastallize their Pokemon at the very start of Battes. We recommend you take advantage of Fighting Tera Types, as it raises your chances of defeating most Pokemon in one hit using a move the type it is weak against.

All Terastal Forms and Tera Types

Arven's Story Role

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Path of Legends - Treasure Hunt - Shiny Plant
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet gives the player three grand stories to weave through throughout the game. One of these main stories will involve defeating the 8 Gym Leaders and becoming Champion.

The other two story modes see you tasked with taking down the rebellious Team Star Bases in Start Street, as well as recovering the legendary Herba Mystica from their Titan guardian Pokemon in Path of Legends.

Guide To The Three Stories

Path of Legends Storyline

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Path of Legends - Herba Mystica

Arven will be the main companion for the Path of Legends Storyline, where he is in search of the rare Herba Mystica that is said to restore heath immediately to anyone that consumes it. He plans to make healthy recipes based around it, but will need your help in obtaining them.

You and Arven will be traveling across Paldea in search of these rare herbs, which are guarded by Titan Pokemon; variants that are stronger and larger than regular Pokemon.
