Green Stake 1 Location
The first Green Stake (or yellow/gold, depending on how someone sees it) can be found near theopening of a cave on the eastern end of Socarrat Trail. The easiest way to get there might be tofast travel somewhere on top of Glaseado Mountainand then travel over to the far northwest side of it.
Green Stake 2 Location
This Green Stake can be found on a cliff near the water’s edge. The best way to reach it is to travel from the Gracia Stones point, but for those that have yet tovisit all ten sights of Paldea, try traveling to Casseroya Lake and then traveling directly west towards the ocean.
Green Stake 3 Location
This Green Stake is located just a few steps east of the Casseroya Lake Islet fast travel point.
Green Stake 4 Location
Travel to the Port Marinada fast travel point and then head a little north to find this stake on top of a cliff by the sea.
Green Stake 5 Location
Travel to the tiny island south of the Casseroya Lake travel point to find this stake.
Green Stake 6 Location
Head on the path northeast of Porto Marinada to come across a small wooden bridge. Before going across it, look in the field to the west to find one of the green stakes. The stake doesn’t show in our picture because we grabbed it without taking a screenshot (sorry).
Green Stake 7 Location
There is a strange structure called Collonade Hollow to the east of Porto Marinada. It’s actually one of the ten sights of thePaldea region. The green stake can be found inside the structure, on top of a really tall pillar.
Green Stake 8 Location
Travel west of the Glaseado Gym to find this green stake on a high ledge. Players should be able tospot the town of Medaliif they look over to the south from the stake’s location.
What Happens When All the Stakes Are Pulled?

Where’s the Groundblight Shrine?
For those that have no idea where the shrine is, it’s located in the northwestern corner of the Paldea region. The best way to reach it is to head north of the Casseroya Lake Islet fast travel point. The shrine’s entrance is a glowing circular green door.
Ting-Lu Battle
Upon reaching the Groundblight Shrine, players will get to encounter the Legendary Pokemon,Ting-Lu.The Pokemon isGround/Dark-typeand will belevel 60,so make sure to come prepared with a strong team andplenty of Ultra Balls.
Before starting the fight, though, players should save. If Ting-Lu is defeated, players can easily restart their game to start the encounter over again quickly.
Ting-Lu has these movesup its sleeve:
If players happen to lose the battle against Ting-Lu, they can go back to the shrine to battle it again, but it seems that they’ll need to wait a while before doing so.
