Ms Raifort’s story line in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet explained

Ms Raifort is the history teacher in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet who has a fascination with an old Paldean fairy tale about four mysterious Pokémon.

If you follow her storyline, she will place the locations of the Firescourge Shrine, Grasswither Shrine, Groundblight Shrine and Icerend Shrine on your overworld map. Not only does this make the shrines easier to find, but will allow you to fast-travel to their locations.

Once you’ve caught all of the Ruinous Pokémon, she will also reward with a TM140 Nasty Plot. This TM and her mentioning she needed to send someone pure of heart to catch the Pokémon makes me wonder if she had unsettling plans for these legendary creatures…

Worrying...

First, however, you need to follow a number of steps to grow closer with Raifort. This includes collecting of the Paldea Gym Badges in the Victory Road storyline, so that you have access to all of the lessons at the Academy. Doing this first will ensure you can complete all of the history lessons, including the midterm and final exams, in one go, rather than having to return to the Academy multiple times.

Next, you need to complete the first history lesson and, afterwards, talk to Raifort in the staff room.

After this, continue studying history until you’ve completed the fourth lesson. After this lesson, Raifort will appear in the Lobby by a bookshelf on the left-hand side of the ground floor. Now all you have to do is talk to her and make sure you say that you don’t believe the story is make-believe.

Now, it’s time to start studying history again until you’ve passed the history final exam. With that exam passed talk to Raifort in the lobby again and she’ll place the shrine locations on your map, along with explaining the stakes!

With that done, go out and catch Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu and Chi-Yu! Once you’ve caught all four, return to Raifort to learn some more about the Pokémon and receive your final reward.

Hope you enjoyed learning about the history of the Paldea region!
