There are over 30 mysterious stakes stuck in the ground in different spots over the Paldea region. There are four sets of colors of stakes, and by collecting each set,Pokemon Scarlet & Violetplayers can face off against up to four Legendary Pokemon.
This guide will showPokemon Scarlet & Violetplayershow to find all eight blue stakesso they canunlock the Firescourge Shrineto get an encounter with the Fire/Dark-type,Chi-Yu.

The blue stakes can be collected in any order, and they will be located in the east/northeastern section of Paldea. Getting to all the stakes can be challenging unless players fully upgrade their Ride Pokemon bycompleting the Titan Pokemon missions. We recommend getting at least the wall climbing ability before attempting to grab any stakes.
