Which one have you got left, and do you still need to find stakes for it?
LOL, I haven't finished any other classes besides Raifort's yet! Still got the sixth lesson plus finals for them. I probably won't do them til I've at least beaten the Elite Four, if not before I wrap up the main story altogether. ^^;
As of right now I've got them all! The blue shrine drove me nuts, though, it was inside a cave and I circled all over the place trying to find said cave and Chi-Yu was really hard to catch.
Yeah, a cave at the top of a waterfall is a pretty obscure place to put a shrine! I guess the people who sealed the treasures away were trying to be extra careful with Chi-Yu... though I did think having one of its stakes practically right on top of the shrine seemed a bit unwise! (Plus if they put Chi-Yu there for extra safety, then why is Wo-Chien's shrine in such an accessible place that you can potentially see it before even going to school? Maybe I shouldn't think about it to much!)
I'll give you that Chi-Yu itself is tricky to catch, too. Swagger was annoying when I was trying to bring its HP down, not just because of the confusion, but because the attack buff put me at higher risk of accidentally killing it. Then while I could render its fire attacks useless with Dachsbun, actually trying to catch it got to be a pain too when it kept using Bounce and making me unable to throw balls for a turn!
I thought Chien-Pao would be even harder, as it's an incredibly fast and lethal glass cannon, but somehow I got very lucky with the ball-throwing.
YEAH, I noticed that. And the purple shrine before I even knew about the Four Treasures. I think the story wants them to be mysterious but the game doesn't want to cause players too much pain finding everything.
I turned my back for one minute when I had my Persian attack and Chi-Yu fainted. D: Luckily I had a save from before I opened the shrine. After the second failure I taught Persian False Swipe.
Always gotta be some balance between integrating and segregating storytelling and gameplay stuff, especially when this is still a kids' franchise at heart!
It also doesn't help that Chi-Yu has low HP and middling physical defence in contrast to its high special defence, whereas Persian in its classic form is a bit more of a physical attacker. False Swipe is always a lifesaver when you want to catch things.

I'm working on the last one. I also finally got the Herba Mystica Mr. Saguaro wanted.
