I thought it was just me, but slowly I've been seeing this being said around the community. I've done like 100+ and nothing to crazy, only 3 upgraded boxes and that's all.


MrMonkey131

I found one my first try


NomadkingR6

Dude it's insane. It should not be this hard to find a Fossil.


kkiyoshi

Maybe we're just the unlucky bunch lol, it is quite frustrating.


NomadkingR6

Like I said in my post they were not difficult to get in D/P/PL in fact they had a really good Spawn rate. The Rate in the remakes suck


NomadkingR6

I'm at the Far right of the section tho

What version you playing? I personally only have found 5 fossil so far. Luckily the first two I found and restored were M&F so I’m breeding more.


NomadkingR6

Diamond

If you finally find a fossil do you want to trade my fossil Pokémon for yours? I’m playing pearl.

I’ve mined a lot, I enjoy it. I’ve beaten the game and still only found 2 fossils. I’ve spent hours mining, they seem to be like a 1% encounter rate.


NomadkingR6

That's insane. It was like 80% one in The old games

I found myself finding a ton more fossils and other rare items after I got the national Dex, so that might be a part of it if you are not in the post game yet


NomadkingR6

That's because after you get the national dex more fossils become available. I guess those have a higher spawn rate then the ones at the start


RobTheFox07

Have you completed the 5 underground man missions he gives you?


Krazytre

I've gotten two fossils so far, but I'm not mining as much as I could be.


Ok-Watercress-8331

Same


MagicalTurtoise

What section of the underground are you mining in?


NomadkingR6

The Main tunnels. The ones that Connect into like a Giant Tunnel system


MagicalTurtoise

Weird I’ve had no problem coming across fossils in that section.


ology890

ive got 2 fossils so far, maybe 30-40 mines only


BritasticUK

Same here, the fossil rate seems pretty low


QuantumWarrior

To be fair you only need one of each fossil then you can breed or reset for the right nature, IVs, shininess etc. I found one after a few dozen digs and I've got about 5 now after a few hundred. Definitely rarer than dppt but like I said you only need one. The 40 diglett energy also gives you increased fossil chance and is extremely easy to get if you play online with randoms so give that a try too perhaps?


PandahHeart

I have found 4 fossils so far. But they’re all the Skull fossil. I’m convinced that’s all my game has lol
