All Purple Stake Locations

Ready to track down all the Purple Stakes in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet? Follow this guide to easily locate each one and unlock the secrets of the Shrine Gate.

Alright, let's get you set up to find all those Purple Stakes in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet! These are super important for unlocking a legendary Pokemon, so you'll want to make sure you grab them all. Think of this as a treasure hunt across Paldea!

Here's the rundown:

1. Purple Stake #1: Start at the Pokemon Center in Los Platos. Head southwest towards the pool of water. You'll find the first purple stake chilling on a ledge, looking over the town.
2. Purple Stake #2: Just northeast of Los Platos, you'll find another flag icon. Head up the plateau there, and you'll spot this stake overlooking Mesagoza city.
3. Purple Stake #3: Keep heading northeast! Look for a spiral hill on your map. Climb all the way to the top of this hill to find the next purple stake.
4. Purple Stake #4: This one's southwest of South Province Area Five. If you head southeast from where you found stake #3, you'll find some ruins. The stake is on the plateau to the east, overlooking them.
5. Purple Stake #5: Head towards the bridge that leads to South Province Area Three. This stake is located above that bridge, to the south, giving you a nice view of the city.
6. Purple Stake #6: Go to the South Province (Area Three) Pokemon Center and head west. Follow the top of the cliffs, and you'll find this stake facing the city.
7. Purple Stake #7: Find the Watchtower in South Province (Area Three). From there, head north towards some canyons. The stake is waiting for you on the north side, overlooking the canyon.
8. Purple Stake #8: The final one is super easy! Head to Artazon. From the western Pokemon Center, go south and climb the wall. You'll find the last purple stake right there.

The Shrine Gate:

Once you've snagged that eighth stake, you'll get a message saying something has stirred. The game will actually point you towards the shrine! If you want to get there quickly, head back to where you found Purple Stake #4 (the one overlooking the ruins). Drop off the cliff right where the stake was, and you'll land practically at the Shrine Gate. Be ready, though – a Level 60 Legendary Pokemon, Wo-Chien, is waiting for you inside!
