For players looking to get their hands on all of the Legendary Pokemon inside the world of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, searching out and pulling all of Black Stakes from the ground in the lands of Paldea. However, with 32 to find in total, this can be a very time-intrusive task, especially if you don’t know where to look.
Thankfully, we have done all of the hard work and found the locations for all of these black stakes and the Ruins in which these Legendary Pokemon lay dormant. Grab a snack and a drink because this task will take players a while before they can fully complete it.
