Team Star (Japanese: スター団 Star-dan, literally Star Gang) is the villainous team living in the Paldea region. They are delinquent students of Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV, and their uniforms vary by game.[1]
In the games
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
Team Star is the focus of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's ★ Starfall Street ★ (Japanese: スターダスト★ストリート Stardust ★ Street) storyline, causing trouble for others and pressuring other students into joining. The team is made of five squads, each led by a Boss. The Schedar Squad is Team Star's Fire crew, led by Mela.[1]
When battling a Boss, they will appear on top of a custom car called the Starmobile[1] (Japanese: スターモービル Starmobile). After defeating a Boss, they will reward the player with a Badge.[2]
They are said to have had a reputation for bullying and abusing other students, and consequently Clavell had given an order for them to disband or be expelled from the Academy. However, as the player character confronts and defeats the bosses, it is revealed that they had in fact been victims of bullying; after they had confronted their tormentors, a scandal broke out that led the bullies to drop out. In the aftermath of the incident, the team's founder Cassiopeia insisted on taking sole responsibility in exchange for the exoneration of her friends, and while the then-director Harrington agreed to her request the deputy director erased the records of the incident in an attempt to shield himself from blame. Not long afterwards, Harrington and the rest of the Academy's faculty resigned in recognition of their failure to handle the bullying.
Cassiopeia had suggested that Team Star disband in the aftermath of the incident and left to study abroad in Galar for a year and a half, but her fellow bosses were unwilling to give up their friendship with her and held out hope that, if they kept the team going, they might be able to hear from her again.
