You might have been battling out your Pokemons countless times or roaming around the region of Paldea, thinking you have completed the game after having a run-through of the story. However, did you know you can still get four more legendary Pokemons even after finishing the main storyline? To get these super exclusive Pokemons though, you will have to unlock the four colored Shrines: Purple, Yellow, Green, and Blue.

How To Use Shrines In Pokemon Scarlet And Violet
Shrines are quad-color-themed locations in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, where you can get new legendary Pokemons. However, you must first make the Shrines interactable by collecting all eight Stakes located near each Shrine. These are Black Stakes that are, essentially, black but glow the color corresponding to each Shrine. Once all eight are collected, then that Shrine can be unlocked, and you’ll get a chance to battle the legendary Pokemon inside and maybe even capture it!
Where are the Shrines In Pokemon Scarlet And Violet
As such, there are a total of four Shrines you can find across the land of Paldea. We’ve listed their location, shrine color and which Legendary Pokemon is inside the shrine in the table below:
| Shrine | Shrine Color | Legendary Pokemon | Location |
| Icerend Shrine | Yellow | Chein-Pao | West Paldea Coast. South of the Asado Desert |
| Grasswither Shrine | Purple | Wo-Chein | North of the Casseroya Lake |
| Groundblight Shrine | Green | Ting Lu | South Paldea Coast. East of the Poco Path Lighthouse |
| Firescourge Shrine | Blue | Chi-Yu | Peak of Fury Falls in the north province (Area two) |
Final Thoughts
With that, now you know all about the Ominous Black Stakes and you will be able to easily open the Shrines and get those extra 4 legendary Pokemons to add to your collection. If you ever get tired of finding all those Stakes, don’t forget that this is an open-world game with beautiful aesthetics, so explore around!
