00:00 4 Legendary Pokemon The four legendary Pokemon who aren't Coridon
00:05 or Miridon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, as well as being centered on the wrongdoings
00:09 of humanity, seem to involve nature and natural elements, with all of them being cladded in
00:13 leaves, rocks, snow or fire. But to unlock them is going to take a lot of hard work.
00:18 Don't worry though as we're here to explain exactly how to get all four of these Pokemon.
00:22 These ominous black stakes are used to unlock secret shrines all over the map, each one
00:26 containing a legendary Pokemon. By finding all the ominous stakes, players can unlock
00:31 each shrine and earn a chance to capture the Pokemon inside. Referred to as the "Ruinous
00:35 Pokemon", Chien-Pao the Sabre-toothed Tiger, Wo Chien the Snail, Ting-Lu the Reindeer and
00:41 Chi-Yu the Little Fiery Goldfish are all up for grabs. So let's start with Chien-Pao.
00:48 Chien-Pao is a dark and ice type Pokemon cladded in snow, and its stakes all have a yellow
00:53 glow to it. Just remember, never eat yellow snow.
00:57 First let's track down the Ice Wrench Shrine. It's located here, on a high cliff on Paldea's
01:02 West Coast, south of the Asado Desert and north of the unmarked wind turbines on the
01:07 map. All of the stakes for this shrine are in the lower left corner quadrant of Paldea,
01:11 nothing north of Kas Karapha, nothing further east than Mesa Goza.
01:16 Also worth mentioning, we recommend having all of the Ride Pokemon abilities unlocked
01:20 which you get from the Path of Legends. But as these 4 legendary Pokemon are around level
01:24 60, hopefully you would have had all of these unlocked anyways. We've numbered these in
01:28 rising order from southernmost to northernmost, though it doesn't matter which order you
01:32 pull them in. However this way you can start at the bottom and work your way up to the
01:36 top. So let's start with Yellow Stake #1.
01:42 Halfway down the waterfall east of Alfonada is a tiny ledge on the left side with the
01:46 stake and nothing else stuck into it. Yellow Stake #2 can be found when you head to the
01:50 beach on the west coast of South Province in Area 6. You will then see a slope rising
01:55 to a large cave that turns out to be a long straight tunnel. Halfway down the tunnel is
01:59 the second stake. In the same area, head to the surface, this time climb the mountain
02:04 overlooking the northern pass. On its east side is Yellow Stake #3, stuck into a ledge.
02:09 From the nearby Pokemon Center, head south east and down the mountain. Halfway down is
02:14 an outcropping with Stake #4 resting in it.
02:17 Southeast of the turbines near where you encounter the Bombarda Titan is a circular pit with
02:21 a pillar in the center. Stake #5 is stuck into the pillar, meaning you will need to
02:26 glide, climb or jump carefully to make it over the gap. Head to the ruins south of Asado
02:31 Desert. Just south of those is an overlook with Yellow Stake #6 not particularly hidden
02:37 next to a small tree. Yellow Stake #7 is in a small gap in the side of a cliff that backs
02:42 into the Great Crater of Paldea. Just hug the exterior by walking through the grasslands
02:47 and you'll find it easily enough.
02:49 The final and last Yellow Stake for Chien Pao is behind the Kasgarapha Gym itself. Go
02:54 behind the building and there's a small garden with a stream running through it. The
02:57 stake is nestled behind one of the garden's larger trees.
03:03 If you've found all the stakes and destroyed them, you'll get a bit of text telling you
03:07 that you heard something from the shrine itself. Head back to it and interact with it if you're
03:11 ready to challenge the legendary Pokemon within.
03:14 Chien Pao is a powerhouse Pokemon that has a variety of attacks and move types to cut
03:19 through your team. Fortunately, it also has a lot of weaknesses to exploit, just be careful
03:24 not to beat it altogether. It's also important to remember the move Ruination. All of these
03:28 legendaries have it and it cuts the remaining HP of the enemy Pokemon in half. Admittedly,
03:34 it can't be used to fully knock out Pokemon, but that won't stop Chien Pao from taking
03:38 an opponent down to a quarter of their health in a couple of moves, then following it up
03:42 with a normal attack. Bring plenty of Ultra Balls, hit it with Paralysis early on and
03:47 you shouldn't have too much trouble catching this crazy cat with a serious overbite. Not
03:51 only that, but it can help you beat some of the ruinous legendary Pokemon to follow. Now
03:55 on to the next one.
04:06 Tinglu is the legendary, ruinous, vessel, reindeer, moose, thing that's ground and
04:11 dark type. It's found in the Ground Blight Shrine north of Kassaroya Lake. North of the
04:16 lake itself is a large section of mountain. In the mountain's southern wall is a small
04:21 ravine with the shrine clearly marked below, and even a path marked on the map leading
04:26 up to it. Inside waits Tinglu. Its Pokedex description says it brings its exceedingly
04:31 heavy head down upon the ground, splitting the earth open with huge fissures. Heavy as
04:37 the head that wears the… whatever this is.
04:40 Tinglu's stakes are green and in the top left corner of Paldea, largely in or around
04:45 the Kassaroya Lake area. The same rules as before apply again, so let's start with
04:49 green stake number one.
04:51 For stake number one, head to the grasslands north of Asada Desert and there'll be a
04:55 perfectly circular hole in the middle that you can drop down. You'll land in a cavern
04:59 on top of a pillar. The first stake is waiting next to you. From the last stake, simply walk
05:03 outside to the north and drop down to the grass near the waterfall to find stake number
05:08 two waiting for you.
05:10 For stake number three, there's a grassy outcropping in the side of Glacelo Mountain.
05:15 You'll either need to jump down from above or use your box legendary's climb ability,
05:20 but once you reach it, the stake is waiting in clear sight.
05:24 Next go to the smallest island in Kassaroya Lake, basically a tuft with a tree on it.
05:28 On its west side is the next green stake. Green stake number four, on a small ledge.
05:33 Green stake number five requires you to surf north to the biggest island in Kassaroya,
05:38 where you might have fought the false dragon titan at some point. It's the highest part,
05:42 clearly in the open, on the island's east side.
05:45 Head to the tip of the peninsula on the lake's west side, then climb to its highest point.
05:50 Stuck in the ground next to a tree is ominous green stake number six. Hop north across a
05:55 couple of islands and hug the western coastline. On a ledge overlooking the sea near the top
06:00 of the rising slope, you will see stake seven right over here.
06:04 It's the furthest trek to stake number eight, no matter where you're coming from. Head to
06:08 the mountains and the stake itself is simply stuck into a snowy slope.
06:14 Ting Lu is a brute with a lot of HP, attack and defend, though its low speed means you'll
06:19 be able to leap ahead of it in a pinch. All of its moves are attack based, except ruination,
06:24 though that hardly matters considering that has a set amount of damage. So make sure you
06:28 bring in your Pokemon with the highest defense. Capture it and you'll have the Dreadmoose
06:32 of Paldea that wears its helmet upside down added to your team.
06:44 Grass Withers Shrine is found on Paldea's southern coast against the cliff wall on the
06:48 stretch of land between Pokkopark Lighthouse and the beachside Pokemon Center at the bottom
06:52 of the South Province in Area One. Got that? Okay. Inside you can find the Ruinous Tablet,
06:59 also known as Wo Chien, a grass dark type snail with a sturdy special defense and the
07:04 day ruining move Giga Drain. To get inside, you'll have to go for the purple tinted black
07:09 ominous stakes. This time, all the stakes are in the lower right corner of the map and
07:13 usually in grassland or canyons far from civilization. With a couple of exceptions, do them in any
07:19 order listed for the simplest, shortest snail trail to Wo Chien. Let's start with an easy
07:24 one. Scale the cliff that the shrine door is stuck into and literally overlooking it
07:28 is the first purple ominous black stake. Follow the river south of Los Platos west to its
07:33 source, then head up the cliffs at the very top near the little spring is purple stake
07:38 number two in the ground. Purple stake number three is north of Los Platos on the cliffs
07:43 on the east side of the path overlooking the zone in a slightly forested area. The next
07:48 one is at the highest point in the area at the very top of the precipice in the middle
07:52 of South Province. Just keep climbing and you'll reach purple stake number four on the
07:57 south side of the first bridge linking South and East provinces right on the edge of the
08:02 river is you guessed it. Purple ominous stake number five. Go to the dusty scrub land east
08:07 of Mesa Goza and that the north side is a raised plateau. You'll need to climb up. Stake
08:12 number six is up there giving you a clear view of the Mesa Goza bridge. Follow north
08:16 through the scrub land and canyons towards the very edge where it meets the fields of
08:20 the East Province. The two biomes are divided by a ravine and on the north side of the ravine
08:25 where the land hooks outwards is the precious penultimate protruding purple stake number
08:29 seven. Perhaps the easiest ominous stake to find. Just head over to the town of Artisan
08:34 and the West Pokemon Center just south of that building on the river overlooking the
08:39 town is stake number eight. Pull it out and head back to the grass with a shrine when
08:43 you're ready to take on Weubqian.
08:47 As befits a snail, Weubqian is something of a tank with a high special defense in particular
08:52 and fairly robust HP, special attack and defense stat to boost. We recommend giving something
08:58 false swipe so you don't end up knocking it out by accident. False swipe can only be obtained
09:02 from Mr. Jack in the biology room after doing your first biology lesson and having obtained
09:07 over 30 Pokemon. Use bug attacks carefully as they're doubly super effective. They'll
09:11 do huge damage, but maybe too much. And while Weubqian's tricky moveset might make it a
09:16 little hard to catch, it's definitely worth it because then you'll get that moveset added
09:21 to your team.
09:32 Fire Scorched Shrine is found at the very top of the Fury Falls just south of the North
09:36 Province Pokemon Center. Find the falls, then use Corridor Lumeridon to climb up the water
09:40 source which will then take you into a cave filled with Pokemon and the Blue Fire Scorched
09:45 Shrine. You must know the drill by now, there are 8 blue tinted ominous black stakes hidden
09:49 in the North East corner of Paldeia, all of which need to be found and uprooted to unlock
09:54 the Blue Fire Scorched Shrine and confront Chi-Yu. Unlike other regions, the mountainous
09:59 landscape and uneven terrain makes a simple south to north sweep not really viable. Your
10:04 best bet is to make liberal use of the flying taxi. Not to mention that without the climb
10:08 and glide abilities, getting around is going to be very difficult.
10:13 The first blue stake is up north, north west of the mountain range. Just up from the beach
10:18 is a small ledge with a tree, and the first blue ominous stake in the ground. From there,
10:23 head down to the coast. Next to a large sunken area is a tall, thin spike of rock on its
10:28 west side. Climb up to get stake number 2 from the top. Heading east to the unclimbable
10:32 wall, hug the high ridge that runs along its side until you're nearly level with the nearby
10:37 Pokemon Center. Stake number 3 is stuck in the ground near a large tree on the edge.
10:42 Keep going south along the wall, then when you reach the area marked above, jump down
10:46 to a small patch of ruins hugging that south east cliff edge. Stake number 4 is in the
10:50 ruins.
10:51 Next head to the lighthouse north east of Leventia. Just north west of that is a raised
10:56 cliff overlooking it, with stake number 5 jutting out of the cliff. For the next blue
10:59 ominous stake, head to the north of Tag Tree Thicket. Backed against the cliff is a raised
11:05 plateau, with stake number 6 waiting for you there. On the section of brown cliff you'll
11:09 see a tiny spot of green marked on the map, a tiny patch of grass with a couple of trees.
11:14 Stake number 7 is here, on the descent down the mountain. Stake 8 is kind of a joke, as
11:19 it's actually on top of the shrine itself. Leave the cave with Fire Scud's shrine at
11:23 the top of Fury Falls, and use Kyrydon or Myrydon to climb down. Directly above the
11:28 shrine is the final stake, grab it and drop back in to reach the open shrine.
11:36 Nothing smells a bit fishy here, as despite looking like a fish, Chi-Yu is not a water
11:40 type. It's a dark fire hybrid, with a moveset even more annoying than Woe Chien's. Ruination
11:46 does huge damage, bounce will cause your attacks to miss like fly, and swagger will boost your
11:51 Pokemon's attack and inflict confusion in the same process. Be careful about attacking,
11:56 because your attack is improved by swagger, so even if you land a hit, you risk miscalculating
12:00 damage and knocking out this little demon goldfish. Be cautious.
12:04 Chi-Yu is a good all-rounder. In terms of stats, it's special attack and special defense
12:08 and speed are especially impressive, and it's broad moveset gives you a lot of options when
12:13 deciding how you want to build it.
12:23 And those are all the secret shrine legendary Pokemon hiding in Paldeia. Phew! Be sure to
12:28 come back to this video, and skip to wherever you need to find exactly where every stake
12:32 is. Also, be sure to like, comment and subscribe to GamesRadar's YouTube channel. See ya!
