The fourth-hardest Team Star boss is none other than the Fairy-type user Ortega. Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players that are aiming to take down all five bosses as part of the Starfall Street path will need to fight Ortega and his Fairy Crew of baddies. Of course, before going to the Fairy Crew base, Pokemon trainers should make sure to have the following type of Pokemon or just moves that have these typings: Poison and Steel.

Ortega uses Fairy-type Pokemon, and players will need to face off against multiple Fairy Pokemon while doing the Star Barrage portion of the base takedown. It's also worth remembering that Fairy-type Pokemon have an advantage over Dark, Dragon, and Fighting-type Pokemon and moves.

Updated on February 16, 2023: Since many players have already beaten Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's main story, we've updated this guide with the rematch information for Ortega. Trainers can rematch all five of the Team Star bosses once the credits have rolled.

How to Get to the Fairy Crew Base

The Fairy Crew base will most likely be the last Team Star boss that players will run into in the Paldea region. The reason is that the base is to the far north corner of the island, behind Glaseado Mountain and northwest of Montenevera.

Once players reach the front gate of the base, they'll need to face off against a trainer with a level 48 Morgrem and level 49 Hattrem. Morgrem is weak to Fairy, Steel, and Poison, and Hattrem is weak to Ghost, Dark, and Bug. Once he's taken down, players will begin the Star Barrage.

Just like the other bases, players will need to take down 30 Pokemon within the 10-minute time limit. Players will use the first three Pokemon in their party and use the R button to send them out for auto-battles. If players find that their Pokemon are losing health rapidly, they can seek out a nearby vending machine or go to the front gate and speak to Clive.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet trainers will face several Pokemon while running around the base, including Tinkatuff, Tinkatink, Kirlia, Gardevoir, Marill, and Morgrem. After 30 Pokemon are defeated, players will finally be able to fight against the leader, Ortega.

As a reward for beating Ortega, trainers will get a Star Badge, TM79 (Dazzling Gleam), LP (League Points), TM materials, and more TM crafting options at the machine.

Ortega Rematch Battle

After Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players beat the main story, they'll have the chance to visit the defeated Team Star bases and face the leaders in a rematch. Their team of pocket monsters will be much tougher this time around, but they will not have the Starmobile.

Ortega's rematch team will have the following Pokemon: Klefki, Azumarill, Wigglytuff, Dachsbun, and Hatterene. The main thing to remember for this fight is that every Pokemon on the team is at least one part Fairy-type, which means if players bring Pokemon with the following move types, they should have no issues taking Ortega down:

  • Poison
  • Steel

With Poison and Steel-type moves, players should be able to easily beat at least four out of the five monsters. The first Pokemon in the team, Klefki, however, will need to be hit with a strong Ground or Fire-type move.
