If you have completed the Indigo Disk DLC's main story, then you can return to the Blueberry Academy to unlock Special Coaches. They can be invited through the League Club Room’s PC, and each invite costs certain Blueberry Points. This means you need tons of BP in your possession to unlock all of them. Although this is a prerequisite to inviting them, certain conditions must be met to see more Special Coaches.

We will discuss their unlock requirements, trades, and rewards in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's second expansion post-game content. Let’s get into the topic at hand in detail.

The eight Indigo Disk’s Special Coaches on the first row in the above photo are Paldean Gym Leaders. They can be unlocked when you complete the DLC’s story mode and watch the credits. After doing that, you can slowly unlock others once you invite all of them three times to the League Club Room.

Remember, you have to speak to them each time they arrive in the room. If you do this continually, you will notice that the NPCs will have a golden ring on their profile.

Every time the Special Coaches visit you in The Indigo Disk, they propose a battle. It is up to you whether you want to battle at that moment or postpone it. However, if you accept, they reward you with items like the Surrendering Sunflora Case, Ghost Sneakers, and more.

You can only invite two Special Coaches at a time. If the Club Room has Brassius and Kofu, inviting another Coach will randomly kick out any of them. You have to rinse and repeat the same process (interacting) to get the golden ring on each Special Coach’s profile.

You can choose any of the three Gym Leaders you wish to trade with to unlock Clavell and Jack in Indigo Disk. The more trading you conduct, the more Coaches will show up. Check out the table below to know what you exactly need to do to unlock them all.
