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

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
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
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
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?
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 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
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
@@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?
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!!
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?
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
Umm ok I will point out the mistakes but great vid tho Mistakes: 4:01 you messed up cranidos’s and shieldon’s exclusive spawn Shieldon is exclusive to shining pearl while cranidos is exclusive to brilliant diamond
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?
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
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 ?
anybody get stuck with a screen after digging next to someone such as a noctowl statue has appeared and cannot move. but the world around you is such as other players
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?
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
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
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 😂
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

Hybrid is way more fun LOL
I loved the Underground in Diamond and Pearl, glad to see it's come back. Thanks for the tutorial.
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.
@@valla7644 luck
Very detailed tips there bud. Will just wait for my pre-order to arrive and will go exploring the underground
Hope I earned your sub!! Thanks Dude!!
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
yo this means so much to me. I really appreciate you! comments like this is what motivates me
they really made this underground enormous
I love it!
Fossil Fighters had a lot of digging like this to uncover your fossils. I liked it a lot
I’ve got this feeling Arceus will only be available to obtain from getting it on the New Legends Arceus game in 2022.
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’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
Glad to see more vids Philly, love what you do.
Appreciate you!
Shiny Charizard Reaction at 5:30 LOL
I love how the slates look like game cartridges
Yesss! I know. Lol
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?
Im Uploading That Next!!!
@Real_Andoru mfw gligar is my favourite Pokémon and my dumbass ordered pearl
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
Thanks for the amazing video man, you're like a louder, more enthused Austin John. (I love you Austin).
Subscribed.
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
After all the video of the underground, this explain the best to be honest, good job buddy,
So glad it helped
Sir y are u shouting
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
thanks for this video dude! i had no idea what the spheres did until now
I’m so glad it helped
Thank you so much was looking everywhere for a map for the vendors and no one had one
Glad I could help
got 4 shiny statues in the last couple of hours. my first ones :) Drapion, magnezone, dusknoir and gallade
Congrats! Those are dope
Dug up an everstone while listening to you explain what it does
Ayee fantastic
Thanks dude! Excited to grind tf out of the underground
AYE LETS FREGIN GO BRO! Enjoy it!!!

isnt there a place where you can trade your dupe statues? Im sure I saw somebody in game offering that
LMAO I didnt expect Austin's face here
LMFAO
Dope, how tf do i leave the underground
Just hit y and go up lol
Thank you bro.. you are helping me a lot.
So happy to help you!!
You get statues and they have very little value.
Mysterious shards are what you want in the late game.
Bro i’ve been trying to find what to do with all this stuff i’ve been finding thank you
No problem echo!!! Hope I earned your sub!!
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.
This video is so helpful thank you so much !
Hi, does charizard’s sprite looks the same as the statue? Or the old flying one?
Sprites are all the same in this game
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
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
Amazing and helpful video. Thx❤️
Very good guide congrats
Ty
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

you don't have to put tape or anything on your switch you just have to count to three in between the spacers

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
Nope ur that lucky

But is there still furniture? No one can tell me
Nope!!!
@@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?
nice guide, but I have a question. Some dig spots are shine brighter than others. Is there any difference?
I spent so much time in the original as a kid
I can't wait to pick up my copy tomorrow!
My team is gonna be chimchar, budew, shellos, starly, shieldon, and a misdreavus.
LETSSS GOO!!!
How do we move the secret base location?
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
Where do we get the Razor Fang
Can someone please tell me how I can mine without Rowan saying the is a time and a place but not now because I can't mine now
Is anyone else having trouble digging? I go up to the site and press A but nothing happens...
Make sure you are directly on it
@@PhillyBeatzU Thanks for the reply - think it must have been a bug. I reset my switch and it works fine now. Great vid!
The lack of evolutionary stones in my walls is beyond infuriating ngl
Feels BAD
Any tips on how to get the Damp Rock in the Grand Underground?
This is the best mechnic of bdsp hands down
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.)

The Start of the video!!! I say the towns you need to be in!!!!
I'm confused 4:08 plates can
Change Archies typing?
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!1
No you are!
im gonna sue austin john when I use bobby pins to mark the digging spots on my tv
Lmfaoooo

Niceeeee
Where did u get that digital frame with charmander walking mate
Divoom
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.
Bruh people just count the squares to do johns trick. It’s so easy every 3rd from top and from side then count 3 to left and 3 down each
bruh sometimes my brain hurts and I cant think like that LOL
Is it possible to get lower leveled Pokémon in the underground? Or am I stuck with the same level pokemon as my party?
Umm ok
I will point out the mistakes but great vid tho
Mistakes:
4:01 you messed up cranidos’s and shieldon’s exclusive spawn
Shieldon is exclusive to shining pearl while cranidos is exclusive to brilliant diamond
I have like... 11 statues of the same 3 pokemon lmao, I'm not lucky
How far into the game do you need to be do have digglet appear in the underground?
So what exactly does date skipping do? Because I did that on monday to get drifloon for the nat dex and I haven't had any issues
How do you find the hiker that lets you increase the size? is it some do it but not all kind of deal?
Screenshot the underground Map with the key in the video!
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?
4:00 pretty sure cradios is for diamond and sheilden is for pearl
Any tips on finding Mysterious Shards and slates?
mysterious shards you will notice after ramanas park unlocks
Could you share the spreadsheet you used for all the Pokémon? I think it would be really useful :)
Its a personal sheet! But you can access this info now on serebii website or feel free to screenshot what you want!
Has anyone ever gone in the underground and basically got trapped? Like couldn’t use the explorer kit and it says you can’t?
That ain’t good but just hit y to leave lol
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
Because grass is your most influential statue
@@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
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 ?
NO! The pokemon statue only means increase of that pokemons typing not the exact pokemon!
You can’t enter the gws yet
Are the fossils from gen 1 - gen 3, such as Aerodactyl, Kabuto, Omanyte, Lileep and Anorith, only obtainable in the post game?
This is a great comment! It feels like it! I really didnt notice them till after the national dex
I got Lileep before my third gym.
What does it mean when the yellow dig dots are blue?
Shiny statue chance
5:49 what do you mean by I could get the legendary statues from ramanas park do I just catch them or what
Legendary video coming out
anybody get stuck with a screen after digging next to someone such as a noctowl statue has appeared and cannot move. but the world around you is such as other players
Bugs in this game are weird
I got shiny mamoswine on my first try!
Niceeee congrats
Is there a way to know if you found a shiny in the underground? like will they big sparkling or something? or you gonna have to run into all of them?
Yes you have to run into them
Hello, how can i find a Yellow dot Wall to dig?
I just have to build up my memory for this video
take notes!
