Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is an open-world game, and it depends upon the player how he wants to approach the game. The player has the opportunity to attain different special abilities early on in the game. You still need to have a decent level to attain some of these. You can get the usual HM abilities by defeating the strong Legendary Pokemon. There are five Legendary Pokemon and they are part of the Legends questline.
The game is based on an open-world meta, so the player doesn’t need flying ability to teleport. You can revisit the cities and places whenever you want. Instead of flying, now you can glide and move between different locations in the game. The game becomes more interesting when you progress further in the game.
To gain your ability back, you have to follow “Path of the Legends” in which you will face the five Titans of Paldea. After defeating every one of them, it will allow you to access to the Herba Mystica which will give you the usual abilities back.
