One of the main quests is “Starfall Street”, a part of the story that introduces you to Team Star and its colorful members. What initially seems to be a bunch of bullies and bandits, this group actually has a complex history underneath the surface, and here we’ll tell you everything about them.
Right after enrolling at the Naranja/Uva Academy and starting your Treasure Hunt, you will head outside the Academy, where you will notice a few students bothering another one. After jumping in and defeating them in battle, they will run away and you will be contacted by a mysterious person called Cassiopeia. She will give you the locations of the Five Captains, and your task will be to defeat them all in battle.
To do this, you must find the five bases and run by a trial of endurance where you will have to let out three of your pokemon and defeat a certain number of Team Star pokemon out in the open by using the Let’s Go mode. Once that phase of the challenge is done, you will then be able to fight the Boss of that base in combat, and with each victory, learn a bit more about this team.
Segin Squad Leader – Giacomo
The first Team Star headquarters to confront will be the Segin Squad base, located in the West Province (Area One). Once you arrive you will be introduced to a colorful character called Clive, who mysteriously looks like a certain academy staff member. This “student” wants to help you to defeat Team Star, so he can know the true story behind their deserting and how he can help to enroll them back in school.
Defeat the guard and head inside the base to do the first part of the challenge, where you’ll have to beat 30 Team Star pokemon before the time runs out. Keep in mind that you can only use three pokemon during this phase, so be careful about who you take into this. Once that’s done, Boss Giacomo will surface and challenge you to a battle using his pokemon and his Starmobile, a powered-up version of Revavroom. His team goes as follows:
Pokemon

Pawniard
Lv.21
Dark/Steel
Metal Claw
Fury Cutter
Aerial Ace
Snarl
Revavroom (Segin Starmobile)
Lv.??

Defeating Giacomo will trigger a cutscene that sheds some light on what happened a year ago, and after that, he will reward you with TM 062, a move called Foul Play, and the corresponding crafting recipe for it. Cassiopeia will contact you and send Penny to reward you with League Points and materials as well, and you can move onto the next base.
Schedar Squad Leader – Mela
The second Base will be the Schedar Squad’s, located in East Province (Area One). This Fire-type Squad will be commanded by Boss Mela, and once you rendezvous with Clive, you will have to go through the usual Let’s Go challenge, followed by your second Boss battle. Mela’s team goes as follows:
Pokemon

Moves
Torkoal

Defeating Mela will trigger another cutscene showing flashbacks of a year ago, and after that’s done you will receive the TM 038, Flame Charge, and the related crafting recipe. Cassiopeia will send Penny for another round of material rewards and League Points as well, and you can now continue to face the next squad.
Navi Squad Leader – Atticus
The third base is located inside the Tagtree Thicket, where the poisonous Navi Squad resides. Their leader, Atticus, begins to display a stronger team than his predecessors, so be careful who you bring into the battle against his Poison-type team and his Navi Starmobile. Finishing the Let’s Go phase will lead to his Boss battle, where he will show the following team:
Pokemon

Defeating Atticus will lead to a flashback cutscene where is revealed that he’s actually the one who made the outfits for the team and that the situation going on with Team Star is actually different than what seemed at first glance. He will reward you with the TM102 Gunk Shot, and after getting the League Points and materials from Cassiopeia, you must go on to the next base.
Ruchbah Squad Leader – Ortega
The flashy fourth Team Star Leader Ortega will be waiting on the Ruchbah Squad Base at the North Province (Area Three), but to get inside and do the Let’s Go challenge, you must first fight against Harrison, his piano teacher and former Naranja/Uva Academy Director. Ortega’s powerful Fairy-type team goes as follows:

Once you’re done, you will learn more about Team Star and how Ortega designed the Starmobiles in a flashback cutscene, after which he will give you the TM079 Dazzling Gleam. A call from Cassiopeia will also reveal to you that Team Star is actually formed by bullied kids, not the bullies, and that the whole team was all a plan to stand up against the true bullies at the school, a year ago. But if you want to know more about it, you must proceed to the last Base.
Caph Squad Leader – Eri
Travel to the North Province Area Two, where the last Team Star Boss will be waiting outside the base. The sensitive Eri, leader of the Caph Squad, will be part of a brief cutscene where she and Clive spar for a bit before she heads back inside, and you have to fight one of the base guards to proceed to the Let’s Go battle challenge. Once you’re done with it, she will come out to fight, displaying the following pokemon team:

Defeating Eri will trigger the last cutscene shedding light on what really happened with Team Star and their bullies a year ago, and after rewarding you with the TM167 Close Combat, Eri will run away crying. Cassiopeia will call to give you a last round of rewards, and then reveal she is actually the former Team Star leader, challenging you to a last battle in the Academy after dark. Go to Mesagoza to finish with this once and for all.
Naranja/Uva Academy Director Clavell/Clive
Once you arrive at the Academy, you will be intercepted by Clive, who surprises everyone by revealing he was Clive all this time (I cannot believe it, seriously). His team will be composed of a rotation of five pokemon out of a list of six, something that will change depending on the starter you chose. The list goes as follows:
Pokemon
Level
Type
Moves
Oranguru

On top of that, his last pokemon will be the third starter pokemon, the one that neither you nor Nemona chose at the beginning, more powerful and capable of terastallize. It can be one of the following:
Quaquaval (Tera Type Water)
Lv.61
Water/Fighting
Brick Break
Aqua Step
Aerial Ace
Ice Spinner
Skeledirge (Tera Type Fire)

Shadow Claw
Flower Trick
Thunder Punch

After defeating Director Clavell, it becomes obvious that no matter how good his intentions were he’s not the true Team Star Leader, and the final challenge awaits somewhere else.
Team Star Founder Cassiopeia/Penny
Head to the arena inside the Academy, where Cassiopeia will be waiting for you. By this point it’s completely obvious Penny was Cassiopeia all this time, so you must prepare yourself to battle against the Team Star true leader, your friend Penny.
Her team is formed by several eeveelutions, so you have to be prepared to face a wide variety of types during this fight. The list goes as follows:
Pokemon

After defeating Penny, this chapter will finally meet its end, but not before gathering the whole team together in a tearful reunion, where Director Clavell will both scold and reward this lovable group. After a closing cutscene, Starfall Street will end.
