Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: Chi-Yu and all blue stake locations

Finding Chi-Yu in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will need trainers to discover all eight Blue Stakes required to unlock the Firescourge Shrine. The latter holds the Legendary Ruinous Pokemon and the necessary stakes are scattered around the Paldea region.

Every Pokemon fan knows about the box art Legendaries, Miraidon and Koraidon, given their impact on the game's marketing and gameplay. However, only a few know about the secret squad of Legendary Pokemon. They are known as the treasures of ruin and consist of Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, and Chi-Yu.

You will need to have your Miraidon's/Koraidon's Climbing upgrade unlocked in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to unlock the shrine and encounter Chi-Yu. You will need to defeat the False Dragon Titan to get that mount upgrade.

All Blue Stake Locations in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Chi-Yu location guide)

Before you can unlock the Firescourge Shrine in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet which houses Chi-Yu, you will need to get all the Blue Stakes scattered around the map. Thankfully, they are contained largely within the eastern side of Paldea (with one towards the north on top of the mountains).

The screenshot below will give you a general idea of it.

It is a Dark- and Fire-type Pokemon and the only known Pokemon that can have the Beads of Ruin Ability (which lowers the Special Defense stats of every Pokemon other than itself). Similar to the Treasures of Ruin Legendary Pokemon, Chi-Yu can also learn Ruination (deals 50% of the enemy's remaining HP as damage).

We suggest using Water-, Fighting-, Ground-, and Rock-type Pokemon and moves to counter it. Check out our Pokemon Type Calculator to learn more. We also advice using False Swipe as the move leaves the target with at least 1 HP, ensuring you have a chance to catch it.
