Chi-Yu being a part of the Legendary Dark Quartet suggests that you’ll have to seek out some Ominous Blue Stakes to acquire one.

Chi-Yu is a fish-like Pokémon. It is composed of two curved beads, each of which resembles two fish circling a black orb coated by white around the sides. They make up the eyes of Chi-Yu, while the rest of its fish-shaped body is formed by a dark red and yellow flame. It is a dark fire-type Pokémon that controls flames burning at over 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pokemon Scarlet And Violet - How To Catch Chi-Yu

How to Catch Chi-Yu Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

As stated above, Chi-Yu is a dark fire-type Pokemon and it is best to bring a water-type Pokemon to resist any fire attacks that the Ruinous Pokemon might do. We Recommend using Quaquaval, the final evolution of Quaxly since it’s a water fighting-type Pokemon and can resist both dark and fire attacks that Chi-Yu can inflict. Stock up on special Pokeballs such as Dusk Balls, Quick Balls, Ultra-Balls, and even Timer Balls to catch Chi-Yu more effectively. Once you follow these steps,  you’ll have one of the four Ruinous Pokémon on your roster.
