How to Catch Chien-Pao in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

While the main Legendary Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet are found in the first few minutes of each game, there are still four new Legendary Pokemon players can find as well. All four of these Pokemon can be found in each game as well unlike Koraidon or Miraidon. They are the four shrine Pokemon and finding them is not as easy as just knowing the locations. Here is a guide on how to find and Catch Chien-Pao in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Chien-Pao is a part of the Treasures of Ruin, another name for the four Shrine Legendaries. It is a Dark and Ice type Pokemon that basically looks like a very skinny sabertooth tiger. This Pokemon is hidden behind a Yellow Shrine which can be found in the southwestern part of the map. Specifically in the West Province (Area One).

To open this Yellow Shrine, players will have to pull out all 8 Yellow Ominus Stakes. Then they can walk up to the Shrine, open it and Chien-Pao will be there waiting.

Below is a map of each stake. The numbers represent the order that is recommended, but players can go in any order they prefer.

It is recommended that trainers have swimming and gliding on their Miraidon of Koraidon before going after this Pokemon. Although admittedly, gliding would be much more useful for this Pokemon. Also that they have stronger Pokemon as, like every legendary, this one will not be caught easily.
