How to Catch Wo-Chien 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 Wo-Chien in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Wo-Chien is a part of the Treasures of Ruin, another name for the four Shrine Legendaries. It is a Dark and Grass type Pokemon that basically looks like a snail made up of vines and other foliage. This Pokemon is hidden behind a Purple Shrine which can be found in the southeastern part of the map. Specifically in the South Province (Area One). Many trainers may have run into this Shrine when first exploring the game.

To open this Purple Shrine, players will have to pull out all 8 Purple Ominus Stakes. Then they can walk up to the Shrine, open it and Wo-Chien 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.
