What Are The Purple Stakes? An Intro to Paldea‘s Legends
The Purple Stakes denote puzzle pieces of sorts tied to specific Legendary Pokemon wandering Paldea. Solving each set collected reveals the whereabouts of these mighty monsters’ hidden shrines for a chance at capture!
There are multiple categories of stakes designated by color – red, blue, green etc. – each corresponding to a different powerful Legendary. The 8 Purple Stakes in particular pertain to the ominous Ghost & Grass-type – Wo-Chien, classified in its Pokedex entry as "The Grudge Pokemon”.
Uncovering The Lore of Wo-Chien
According to rumors, Wo-Chien was once a scribe who chronicled the misdeeds of a tyrannical kingdom, only to be severely punished. Now manifesting as spectral dead leaves, its wrathful spirit erosion the lifeforce of nearby vegetation in vengeance.
