Trainers looking to complete their Pokedex in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will need to find all the Stakes and Shrines to get the Ruinous Quartet, so we’ve compiled the ultimate Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Stake location guide to help you.

There are a ton of new Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet, including some imposing new faces added to the Legendary category. As with every other game, if you want to achieve total completion in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you’re going to need to fill out your Pokedex.

Along with fascinating new Pokemon such as Annihilape, Armarouge, and Ceruledge, there is a new group of Legendaries to work towards and capture. Four of the game’s top-tier Pokemon require you to locate different-colored Stakes and their accompanying Shrines.

Bear in mind that you will need the abilities acquired from Titan Pokemon encounters to reach some of these Stakes and Shrines, so let’s jump into our guide to show you where to find everything.

The first bunch of Stakes we’re going to focus on in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are the Blue Stakes. Finding and activating these is essential in the pursuit of the Legendary Chi-Yu Pokemon.

They are scattered across the North Province and East Province, so here is every Blue Stake in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
