What is the Secret Dish in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?

Medali gym’s secret dish puzzle is one of the most confusing puzzles in Scarlet and Violet. Though Pokemon fans are no strangers to gym puzzles, this particular puzzle might be a bit challenging to solve.

Once you enter the Medali Gym, you will be given the task of ordering the secret menu item from Treasure Eatery. After finishing this task, you can finally fight the gym leader of Medali Gym who specializes in normal-type Pokemon.

Medali Gym’s Secret Dish is called Fire Blast style medium-sized grilled rice balls, with lemon. You can get this dish by either trying random dish combos at Treasure Eatery, or by getting clues regarding the dish from NPCs in the town.
