Learn how to max out your friendship with Ms. Raifort at Naranja/Uva Academy in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and get the Nasty Plot TM as a reward!
Alright, so you've been exploring Paldea and maybe you've noticed there are some teachers at the Academy you can actually become friends with. It's easy to miss this whole bonding feature if you're just rushing through the main story, but it's totally worth it! You can build up a friendship meter with each teacher, and when you max it out, you get some pretty sweet rewards. For Ms. Raifort, you'll want to make sure you've cleared all her History classes, aced the midterm, and finished the final exam first. It just makes things way simpler if you do all that before trying to max out her bond.
- 1First things first, head over to the Staff Room. Ms. Raifort is usually hanging out near the bookshelf. Chat with her, and she'll ask about your interest in old or new things. Just pick whichever you like – 'old' is for Scarlet, 'new' is for Violet – and you'll be good to go for this step.
- 2Next up, you'll find Ms. Raifort chilling in the Entrance Hall. Go there and look for her near the bookshelves on the left. This time, she'll want to chat about the four treasures she mentioned in class and give you some Pokémon background. Again, your answer doesn't really matter, so just pick what feels right to finish this part.
- 3After that, leave the Entrance Hall and then head back in. Ms. Raifort will be there again. This time, she's going to mark the locations of the four Shrines on your map. You'll still have to find the Ominous Black Stakes yourself, but these Shrines are super handy as fast-travel points once you've visited them.
- 4Okay, one last time, head back to the Entrance Hall and find Ms. Raifort (remember to leave and come back first!). She'll ask if you can show her each of the four Ruin Legendary Pokémon. This means you'll need to venture out, battle, and catch all four of them. Don't worry, we've got guides for all the stake locations to help you out! Once you've got all four, return to Ms. Raifort and show them to her. As a thank you for your hard work, she'll give you the Nasty Plot TM and totally max out your Bond with her!
- Make sure you've completed Ms. Raifort's classes, midterm, and final before starting the bonding steps. It saves you a lot of backtracking!
- The Shrines marked on your map by Ms. Raifort are excellent fast-travel points, so make sure to visit them after she points them out.
- The guides for the Orange, Green, Blue, and Purple Stakes will be crucial for finding the four Ruin Legendary Pokémon needed for the final step.
