There are quite a lot of ominous colored stakes protruding of the ground round Paldea, but what are they for in 'Pokémon Scarlet' and 'Violet'?
As you explore the Paldea area in the new Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you can come throughout more than a few "ominous" stakes sticking out of the ground. There are four different colored stakes situated across the area: black, blue, yellow, and green. When you have interaction with the item, they are going to disappear, leaving in the back of the message "When you pulled out the stake, it crumpled and vanished."
But what are those ominous coloured stakes for? They're important for some post-game content in the new Pokémon titles.

What are ominous stakes? How to get the post-game Legendaries.
The 4 different colored ominous stakes correlate to other shrines, every of which holds a powerful new Legendary Pokémon. By pulling out the entire stakes of a single color, you'll be able to unlock the shrine and have the ability to face off towards the Legendary, giving you a chance to catch it and upload it to your staff.

The black stakes are connected to the Dark and Grass-type Legendary Wo-Chien, yellow are for the Dark and Ice-type Chien-Pao, inexperienced are for Dark and Ground-type Ting-Lu, and blue stakes unveil Dark and Fire-type Legendary Chi-Yu.
We're calling it "post-game" content material, because you can technically wish to defeat all five Titans and completely improve Miraidon or Koraidon to get admission to all the stakes, regardless that you theoretically may just succeed in all four Legendary Pokémon with out finishing all three paths.
All ominous stake places — where to search out all of the shrines.
Thankfully, each shrine and their respective stakes are cornered off to specific areas of the map, meaning you'll be able to stay your search to 1 section of the map for each individual shrine. There are 8 stakes for each shrine, though there is no method in-game to show how many you may have already accumulated, so you will have to stay checking the shrines to peer if they are unlocked.
