Where to Find Penny in Pokémon Scarlet (How to Beat Penny in Pokémon Scarlet)

After beating all five Team Star Bosses, I faced Clive, who I thought was the final boss. In my defense, this was my first time playing Pokémon Scarlet 😳.

The battle was quick, and I thought I was done with the game until I faced Penny, the friendly guide who rewarded me for beating the Team Star bosses.

Penny is found inside the academy in the arena.

Initially, her Eeveelutions overwhelmed my Pokémons until I took advantage of their type weaknesses. Like the previous battles, this one ended quickly, and here’s how…

How to Beat Penny (Cassiopeia) in Pokémons Scarlet

The best way to beat Penny is to use a Special Attacker. Penny is the final boss of Team Star. And yes, this is the same Penny with the Eevee backpack that rewards you each time you beat a Team Star boss.

According to the lore, Penny guides you on your mission because she wants to take down Team Star, which has gotten out of control. She believes defeating her signifies the end of this team 🧐.

Penny relies on various Eeveelutions, and her strategy is primarily defensive 🤓. She favors Baby Doll Eyes to lower the impact of your Pokémon’s physical attacks.

Therefore, your best bet is to use Special Attacks. For instance, Flutter Mane, equipped with Moonblast and Mystical Fire, easily defeats Umbreon and Leafeon.

You can also use it against Sylveon, whose poor recovery weakens it against repeated Moonblasts.

Here’s a chart outlining the best Pokémons to use against each of Penny’s Eeveelutions 👇:

Pokémon	Ability	Weakness	Moves	Counters
Umbreon	Synchronize	Fairy Bug Fighting.	Psychic Dark Pulse. Quick Attack. Baby Doll Eyes.	Annihilape Lucario. Tinkaton.
Jolteon	Quick Feet	Ground	Pin Missle Quick Attack Thunder Baby Doll Eyes.	Garchomp

After beating Penny, go to Director Clavell’s office, where you’ll have a brief conversation. Once done, meet Penny in front of the school, where she’ll give you Draco Meteor.

As mentioned, Penny specializes in Eeveelutions. Therefore, your Pokémon should focus on moves that counter each of her Eevees.

Here’s the best team to use against Penny:

Gardevoir

Gardevoir is a Psychic / Fairy type Pokémon. Before facing Penny, Level up 49 and equip it with Moonblast. This move takes out Umbreon. Furthermore, it can use Trace to copy Flareon’s Flash Fire, Vaporeon’s Water Absorb, and Jolteon’s Volt Absorb.

Baxcalibur

Baxcalibur is a Dragon / Ice Pokémon with an impressive Attack stat. Level it up to 62 with moves like Glaive Rush, Crunch, and Icicle Crash.

Baxcalibur is a Pseudo-legendary whose type gives it an advantage over all the Eeveelutions except Umbreon and Sylveon.

Gengar

Gengar is a Ghost / Poison-type Pokémon with an impressive Special Attack stat. Use TM to teach it Thunderbolt and Sludge Bomb to give you an advantage over Sylveon and Leafeon.

Getting it might be a hassle, so go to Levincia and trade a Pincurchin for Gengar.
