As you explore Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you’ll come across stakes sticking up out of the ground. These stakes can be used to open the sealed shrines throughout the Paldea Region. In order to reach these stakes, you’ll need to have unlocked all the abilities for your mount. For a guide on how to unlock these abilities, click here!
