The Groundblight Shrine (Japanese: 塵土の祠 Shrine of Dusty Earth) is a small cave, located in Socarrat Trail. It is the shrine in which Ting-Lu was sealed.
Geography
The Groundblight Shrine is a small room, where the Legendary Pokémon Ting-Lu is sealed behind a green door. The door is locked by four chains that prevent the door from being opened, and only pulling out the eight green stakes close to the shrine will cause the door to unlock.
Once the player removes the eight stakes, they will hear Ting-Lu's cry. When they interact with the shrine's door, the Legendary Pokémon will come out. If the player defeats the Pokémon or they run from the battle, Ting-Lu will go back inside, the door will close, and it will be able to fight again the next day. Once caught, the shrine's door will always remain open.
