very helpful guide, i was being so careful with austins pattern technique, but using the hybrid method has made digging both faster and more productive, ive been getting more spheres
This is really thorough and I like the digging strategies. I have the habit of using the mallet when I see lots of shallow areas but sometimes there are “dinging” areas that negate its use. I gotta shake that habit and use the square method now I liked the video and have been subbed ever since I got the game
Heart scale is pretty rare in the underground. If you're not in rush, probably best wait till later and hunt it with other ways. I hunted 4 of them to use early game. Average 1.5 hours to get 1. Quite time taxing.
Im telling yall, phil goes above and beyond info/tips type videos, right to the point, he is so underrated tho just keep sharing his vids so everyone can avoid those pesky ass ytbers
You can also see most items through the small cracks. Especially on your TV. If you see another color then the Backgorund color shining through, you got something there
I’m sad that shiny stones don’t appear this means that you basically only get 2 until Pokémon home is connected to bdsp which means if you don’t spend em on roserade and togekiss respectively you can’t unlock them both which sucks cause the second one is post game but rest assured when bdsp is connected to Pokémon home I’m spamming Pokémon with shiny stone held items into bdsp
I was expecting like a guide of the pokemon available pre nat dex and post dex in each specific area. Cooll video tho, do you know where to find gligar by any chance?
I'm just wondering whether you can trade or sell the statues you find. I get that they're useful regardless for the type advantage stuff, but I'd rather get a bunch of different statues, than have my 5th Glaceon statue. Even more frustrating when you get double coloured statues.
what i still wonder is if i have for example an infernape and this ball shows that fire is boosted is fighting boosted too but less? or is only the type from the ball boosted?
I came here for this question. I think it's horseshit that you can't trade statues, or even sell them or do literally anything with them other than put them in a base. I have like 8 Rhyperior statues and nothing to do with them.
@@jraymond1988 Fingers crossed that we'll get something for it in a future update. But yea, I have the same thing. I already caught all the Pokémon I need, so the functional use of the statues is void to me, leaving them with merely an aesthetic/collectible purpose. And even if I still required the functional use to catch Pokémon, you cannot even place (for example) 12 Mamoswine statues in one base, rendering most of them completely useless altogether. To that end, it's so frustrating to get that 12th Mamosiwne, that 8th Glaceon, or that 4th shiny Machamp statue, whilst yearning for a Charizard, Arcanine, or other eeveelution statues. Yet I cannot trade or even just sell the excess statues...
@@PhillyBeatzU absolutely & thank you for all your help & great Videos. Can I ask if I’m trying to build a Pokémon & there aren’t forms for them just build to the Pokémons best stats?
In Sunnyshore City, there is a house full of NPCs, that give you tips on the Underground. One says “Work with you mr friends to dig up glossy stones before fossils and something good might happen” what does that even mean? is it talking about spheres? And what happens?
Will only the strongest Statue Effect be active or can I have multiple types of statues all working their effect? Like, say I have 61 grass points and 60 fire points. Will I only get the grass points or will both points be active in their respective type grottos? Curious since the orb in your base will only mention one type
@@PhillyBeatzU sweet! That could definitely make things easier when hunting between multiple types of grottos instead of having to focus on one type at a time and keep switching out statues
I was so confused because i went in the underground for the first time and after mining for 30mins I got a shiny glade statue and the next hideaway had a ralts which ended up being shiny so I was so freaking out
Off topic: is there a glitch for the quick claw right now? I’m at the valley wind works part of the story and through 3 different battles I have gotten quick claw activation every time I fought. Pokémon: Prinplup- neutral nature, metal claw, peck, water gun, charm. I know it’s technically possible but there is in no way that my luck would allow for such
to statues and the type they boost is only the type boosted which is shown in this ball or does all the other type of the statues placed increase their type too?
Are statues temporary? Once you get a statue, is it yours forever? Or you can only have a certain amount of statues (not active, just in general, please don't tell me the active statue number, i know it.) Or if you reach the limit, do you have to replace an old statue?
@@PhillyBeatzU YAY I am so happy, I just started undergrounds and I've been nervous if the statues I'm collecting will be temporary once placed or have a limit to own, thank you!!
Does anyone know if the fossils can be found before national dex? I got the skull fossil but I really want to add aerodactyl to my party. I'm at the 7th gym
For some reason, I can't dig at half of the locations, or help others with their digging when I play online. Is it a bug? Do I need to advance further into the game? Or is it because my Switch may be worn out?
Can you not get shiny stones while digging? I have roselia and togepi and I wanna evolve them lnao but the only two stones you can get are during 6th gym and at post game
Can I just place down every statue I have and the spawn rates will all work? Because I just put down a bunch of statues of different types and the crystal ball only says increase in grass
@@PhillyBeatzU ok so do the spawn bonuses of the other statues still work though? (They just don’t say so on the crystal ball)? Thanks for the reply btw
@@PhillyBeatzU really? Man that’s a dang shame. How did they not add that? Gen 4 were the last secret bases. They put them in ORAS. Why have a whole secret base just for a statue collection?
How the frick can you enter the GWS because it doesn’t let me , also if you have a gen 4 starter statue does that mean you can find that specific Pokémon down there ?
So I’m wondering about how you get shiny stones and dawn stones because a bunch of my favorite stone evolutions introduced in gen 4 use them. are the shiny, dusk, and dawn stones not available in the underground?
I was just wondering does it matter where you set up your base?, like if I set it up in one location if I got to another location will the effects of the statues carry over?
Can I just throw every statue I have to fill up my base or I am new to this base thing and I only get slightly dragon boost and I don't see any dragons at all and my other statue did nothing for me while it is set up in my base?
Excuse me? I got Lileep way before post game,when I was on my third gym. It's just not going to register in the pokedex at the time. That's the only difference.
We've found a more direct link between points! It was just a coincidence that the evolved forms are worth more points! via: Austin John Plays
For stone statues:
1x1 = 30 points / 1x2 = 36 points / 2x2 = 42 points / 3x3 = 48 points / 4x4 = 60 points
shiny is double those numbers.
3x3 Legendary are 144 / 4x4 Legendary are 180
I have to say this video was a lot more helpful that some of the others on RUclips. At least I know we can still find evolution stones underground
I got you ROM! More underground videos!
*cough cough* Verlisify🤢
The traps and various items to decorate your base was the fun part of the underground and they took it out. Boooooo
RIGHT!? So lame!!
I don't mind the removal of the traps but not being able to decorate base sucks.
So what is the point in having a base then? I just got diamond and haven't made a base yet
@@nickniesman7013 to apparently help you shiny hunt or so which is stupid tbh
@@nickniesman7013Practically there is no point now 😂

very helpful guide, i was being so careful with austins pattern technique, but using the hybrid method has made digging both faster and more productive, ive been getting more spheres
Hybrid is way more fun LOL
This is really thorough and I like the digging strategies. I have the habit of using the mallet when I see lots of shallow areas but sometimes there are “dinging” areas that negate its use. I gotta shake that habit and use the square method now
I liked the video and have been subbed ever since I got the game
Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you so much for subbing!
Heart scale is pretty rare in the underground. If you're not in rush, probably best wait till later and hunt it with other ways.
I hunted 4 of them to use early game. Average 1.5 hours to get 1. Quite time taxing.
They are so easy to miss too since they are small
Heart scale are rare? I think I have a wrong copy of the game cause I keep getting them non-stop.

Glad to see more vids Philly, love what you do.
Appreciate you!

OMG I’ve been looking for a shiny stone in the underground for 3 hours now and they don’t even appear.. I feel so dumb…
Thanks for the video!
Got you glad it helped

I’ve got this feeling Arceus will only be available to obtain from getting it on the New Legends Arceus game in 2022.
The main thing i was always wondering is how to get statues and this finally answered that question. Tyvm for this.
So glad I could help
I liked the digging mechanic back in he day for when the 3DS was used. Having a stylus pen made digging more precise.
Now it’s chaos lol
Just use your finger
I bought a switch OLED and now it’s going to force me to buy screen protection if I have to use my finger to dig.
@@MadridMonarch fair enough but I’d personally buy one anyway since the screen gonna get touched, Dusty, and in case it drops
After all the video of the underground, this explain the best to be honest, good job buddy,
So glad it helped
thanks for this video dude! i had no idea what the spheres did until now
I’m so glad it helped

Thank god I watched this was gonna buy the game for the nostalgia and decorating my base was my favorite thing to do as a kid 😂
isnt there a place where you can trade your dupe statues? Im sure I saw somebody in game offering that

Where do we get the Razor Fang
So like with the statue if I have a shiny mewtwo it boost physic powers only in the underworld? Or does it effect up above?
Underground only

Curious since the orb in your base will only mention one type
Yes the orb shows the boost of the prevalent type! The others till have an increase
@@PhillyBeatzU sweet! That could definitely make things easier when hunting between multiple types of grottos instead of having to focus on one type at a time and keep switching out statues
about when in the game can u revive a fossil like cranidos
Great Question!!! As soon as you go underground and find it!
Yes you can revive fossils. It's always been a thing.
Hi, does charizard’s sprite looks the same as the statue? Or the old flying one?
Sprites are all the same in this game
Very good guide congrats

I can't wait to pick up my copy tomorrow!
My team is gonna be chimchar, budew, shellos, starly, shieldon, and a misdreavus.

The lack of evolutionary stones in my walls is beyond infuriating ngl
Feels BAD

@@PhillyBeatzU did they increase the odds or something then because it was a good 9-10 turns straight of quick claw
to statues and the type they boost
is only the type boosted which is shown in this ball or does all the other type of the statues placed increase their type too?
So how does the online work for the underground if I may ask I’m still confused on it like how does it work when people are in there with you? Etc
Shiny Charizard, priceless reaction!! Lol
You got it wrong on the fosslils. Is Brilliant Diamond for the Skull Fossil and the Armor Fossil for Shinning Pearl. I own both.
Where did u get that digital frame with charmander walking mate
Divoom
How do you find the hiker that lets you increase the size? is it some do it but not all kind of deal?

Can I just throw every statue I have to fill up my base or I am new to this base thing and I only get slightly dragon boost and I don't see any dragons at all and my other statue did nothing for me while it is set up in my base?
you can do whatever you want!!! The most prevalent type will be what shows up the most
Is it possible to get all fossils before you get the national dex?
