Ruinous Quartet

The Ruinous Quartet, also known as the Dark Quartet and the Four Treasures of Ruin, are a group of 4 Legendary Pokémon in Paldea who are the personified hatred, fear, and envy of a "king". According to their Pokédex entries, they were so powerful that they were eventually sealed away in various shrines, known as Ruinous Shrines one in each corner of the map. The player can free them by finding their corresponding Mysterious Stakes and heading to their shrine.
