In Pokémon games, you can always catch legendaries that are waiting for you as part of your journey. In this Pokémon SV Guide, we'll teach you how to catch Wo-Chien, one of the four Ruinous Pokémon.
Who are the Ruinous Pokémon?
The four Ruinous Pokémon are Wo-Chien (dark and grass type), Chien-Pao (dark and ice type), Ting-Lu (dark and ground type), and Chi-Yu (dark and fire type). These four can be quite a handful to catch as you'll need to find all Ominous Stakes that you'll need to remove to unseal their shrines.
Where can I find their shrines?
You can get help finding the shrines of each by completing the History track in the Academy with the history teacher, Raifort.

How do I open the shrine?
You will need to find all Ominous Stakes for the shrines to open. For Wo-Chien, you'll need to find all eight (8) Purple Ominous Stakes and pull it from the ground. Listed below are the different locations for you to visit:
- South of Lost Platos, at the top of a hill in South Province (Area One)
- Northeast of Los Platos and East of the Pokémon Center outside of Mesagoza, at the corner of a plateau in South Province (Area One)
- Los Platos in South Province (Area One), at the top of the spiral plateau
- Right next to a bridge leading to South Province (Area Three) close to Mesagoza
- Southwest of South Province (Area Five), at the edge of a cliff overlooking South Province (Area One)
- After exiting east of Mesagoza, continue heading east through South Province (Area Three) up a rocky hill
- South of Artazon (East) Pokémon Center at the top of a dirt hill
- Northern tip of South Province (Area Three) overlooking East Province (Area One)
Release all these Purple Ominous Stakes successfully and you'll open the Purple Shrine in South Province (Area One).
How to catch Wo-Chien?
Before heading out to catch Wo-Chien, you should turn off the autosave feature and save manually. If you fail to catch Wo-Chien by knocking it out, you can just simply restart the game and try again.
Wo-Chien will be at level 60, it is a dark and grass type, making it weak against fire, bug, fairy, and fighting. Make sure to keep this in mind so you wouldn't knock out this Ruinous Pokémon. You can use False Swipe to make sure that it has 1 HP left even after a critical hit and bring a decent amount of Ultra Balls and Timer Balls as well.
After successfully catching Wo-Chien, you now have one of the Ruinous Pokémon in your arsenal.
