Top 5 Best Hats to Wear in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

There’s no denying that character customization is an increasingly important feature for many games. However, many developers don’t always pay attention to this aspect as much as they could or should.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet offer some tools for creating unique avatars, but they significantly lack in certain areas. For example, there are several neat options for personalizing facial features, but when it comes to clothing, players are heavily restricted and can choose only between four seasonal school uniforms.

Thankfully, there are enough accessories that can help you achieve that unique look, even though not all of them are winners.

We bring you the list of the top 5 best hats to wear in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, based on our taste. Let us know if you agree with the choices!

5/5 Jet Helmets

Safety first! Pokémon Scarlet and Violet abound with different helmet options that are meant to protect your avatar while exploring different parts of Paldea on your Koraidon or Miraidon. We opted for the jet helmet because it looks sleek and has a protective visor to keep pesky Paldean bugs away from your face while on the road.

Jet helmets come in more than 15 different colors and can be purchased for 4,000 Pokedollars in Seguro Style in Levincia.

4/5 Fedoras

Not everyone can pull off a fedora, but, somehow, they seem to work well with available clothing options in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. They can make your avatar look stylish, yet cool while protecting against the elements.

There are 17 different fedoras in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and you can find them at Rough & Tough in Cascarrafa at the price of 2,000 Pokedollars.

3/5 Square Caps

This is another option that goes well with obligatory school uniforms. Unlike with some other hat options (looking at you, pom-pom hats!), the proportions of this headwear piece make sense and give off that classic and stylish vibe.

Players can find square caps at Capbourg in Cascarrafa for 2,000 Pokedollars and choose between several different monochromatic options or opt for one with a fun print.

2/5 Sporty Caps

Sporty caps are for those of us who love our Pokémon nostalgia. When you think of Ash Ketchum, there’s always a sporty cap on his head. You can choose between 35 different options that can be found in Capbourg stores in Mesagoza (with a few options available at Rough & Tough in Cascarrafa).

Another reason why this item places so high on our list is the price point—Capbourg sporty caps are the cheapest hats in the game at 1,000 Pokedollars.

1/5 Bucket Hats

Our winner of the top 5 best hats list in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is a bucket hat. If you want your avatar to look fashionable and like they’re keeping up with trends but not trying too hard, a bucket hat is a great option.

Get one in your favorite color at Capbourg in Cascaraffa for 2,000 Pokedollars.

Keep in mind that some of the hats won’t work with every hairstyle and that the best option will depend on your other stylistic choices.
