168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Scarlet & Violet embraces the open-world elements introduced in Sword & Shield, then built-upon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. While the performance and visuals aren't exactly top-of-the-line, these ninth-gen games have done well in various ways - including the Treasures of Ruin quest.

The Treasures of Ruin are a quartet of legendary Pokemon in the Paldea region. They're quite a diverse bunch. From their striking designs and intriguing lore to their potential when added to your team, we'll take an extended look.

Updated November 11, 2023 by Quinton O'Connor: We have added further details as well as rewritten portions of the original article for improved clarity.

Overview

'The Treasures of Ruin' is the term given to the four endgame Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. TEach one shares Dark as their primary type, though their secondary types differ. The Treasures also share a signature attack, the fittingly titled Ruination, which always deals damage equal to half the target's current HP.

Each Treasure has an ability that drops either the offensive stats or defensive stats of all Pokemon battling against them. Between Ruination and these substantial debuffs, it's no wonder the people of Paldea hid them away in centuries past. Of course, that won't stop us from adding them to our collection, because Pokemon protagonists are nothing if not reckless in the pursuit of power.

Wo-Chien

Wo-Chien is a Dark/Grass-type that closely resembles a snail made up of dark-green moss and green-and-yellow leaves. Its eyes are comprised of several curling vines that form the outline of this Pokemon's orange eyes. Its 'shell' comprises a row of wooden tablets that spiral into a peak.

The tablets are said to document the evil deeds of the Paldean king from a thousand years ago, the writer's grudge over being punished for documenting these truths giving life to the Treasures of Ruin. Wo-Chein is said to be able to drain the life force of vegetation within a wide area, leading to entire forests becoming barren within its presence. Wo Chien's signature ability, Tablets of Ruin, lowers the Attack stats of all other active Pokemon by 25 percent.

Chien-Pao

Chien-Pao is a Dark/Ice-type based on a snow leopard - or perhaps a weasel - with long fangs that resemble a sword's blade and hilt. Its stark white body seems to be made of snow with ice crystals running down its back and legs. Its claws and whiskers also appear to be made of ice.

It's said that the broken sword that makes up this Pokemon's teeth was given life by the hatred of those slain by the blade thousands of years ago. Chien-Pao is believed to be able to control 100 tons of snow and is known to play atop the avalanches that it causes. It has the ability, Sword of Ruin, which lowers the Defense of all other Pokemon by 25 percent.

Chien-Pao's Speed stat is higher than any other Dark-type Pokemon as of Scarlet & Violet!

Ting-Lu

Ting-Lu is a Dark/Ground-type that resem✨bles a cloven-hoofed animal, possibly a deer or moose, with a body that appears to be made entirely out of segmented rock. There are several red marks on its head as well as small red eyes. On its head sits a large cracked jade vessel with several antler-like spikes protruding from it.

The fear that humanity harbored over thousands of years was said to fill the vessel, causing it to turn into a Pokemon. Ting-Lu's strength and control of the earth are so strong that a single headbutt from this Pokemon can create fissures over 160 feet deep. Its ability, Vessel of Ruin, lowers all other Pokemon's Special Attack stat by 25 Percent.

Chi-Yu

Chi-Yu is a Dark/Fire-type tha🅷t resembles a small goldfish with a fiery red body. Around each of its black eyes, ther🌜e are two jade and white beads styled to resemble fish circling them in a yin-yang-like pattern.

The beads that surround this Pokemon's eyes are said to be filled with the envy of those who desired them enough to start a war. Chi-Yu's fish-like body is made entirely of fire and the flames it produces are capable of reaching 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit. With its fire, this Pokemon melts stone and sand into a sea of lava it can swim through. It has the ability, Beads of Ruin, which lowers the Special Defense of all other Pokemon.

The Legend

Players first hear of this legend 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:from school, specifically from one of Ms. Raifort's lessons. She explains that, sometime during the Paldean Empire, roughly two thousand years before the events of Scarlet and Violet take place, there was a greedy king with a penchant for collecting treasures from countries that weren't his own.

Eventually, a merchant from the East came to the king bearing four items. A vessel, a sword, a set of wooden ta💦blets, and a set of beads. The king was initially pleased with these items and paid the merchant handsomely. However, that same 🅘night, tragedy struck.

A disaster fell upon the king and his castle, reducing it to rubble before the night was done. Fearing the items' power, they were locked away so that no mortal could ever release the destruction and havoc that the items were said to inflict upon the kingdom. This was how the lesson ended, but it's not the end of the story, nor is it the complete story.

The Truth

After 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:becoming close to Ms. Raifort, she will eventually reveal that, according to the legend, the items that the king received were actually Pokemon. Specifically, Pokemon that were corrupted by humanity's greed and malice as they were passed around from person to person over the years. The king's greed was the final piece that pushed the Pokemon over the edge, causing them to lash out and go on a rampage. In a single night, they razed the king's castle before escaping to rampage across the kingdom.

To stop them, the king was forced to employ several skilled trainers known as 'Pokemon wielders' to subdue the beasts. After a long-fought battle, the Pokemon wielders were victorious and sealed away these creatures of calamity into four shrines within Paldea. Each shrine was sealed using eight stakes that were scattered across the region.
