Interviewers Gabby and Ty are a reporter-and-cameraman duo who travel across Hoenn to feature Trainer battles on BuzzNav. Your first encounter with them occurs on Route 111, where they’ll challenge you to a battle followed by an interview. The results will later air on a BuzzNav segment.
After this initial battle, Gabby & Ty rotate through a few different locations for rematches.
This page will show you how to reach all of their locations, and we’ll detail all of their team comps that change with different milestones in-game.
All Locations
Gabby & Ty can appear in three locations: Route 111, Route 118, and Route 120. Below is a screenshot of each location where you can find them.
Gabby & Ty’s Teams
Each encounter with Gabby & Ty follows this sequence:
- Double Battle against Interviewers Gabby & Ty
- Post-battle interview
- The results are broadcast on BuzzNav
- Then they relocate to the next spot in the rotation
Their team improves as you earn more Gym Badges, ultimately culminating in a final post-game team that they run for the rest of the game after you beat the Elite Four.
Below we’ve detailed their teams for each in-game milestone, along with how much money you win for each battle.
