I am having trouble finding the fragments in the Hoenn excavation quest. I have been using rock smash on every rock around the sites, but I never get a notification that I found at fragment. I have reset the game. I have exited the map and gone back in and rock smashed every rock multiple times. In all the youtube videos I watched on this quest they find the fragments pretty quick. I don't get why it's not happening for me.

Hi @JamEcono

 

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

I would like to inform you that, after checking your account, it seems like you currently miss the following fragment

• Route 103
  
• Route 111 Desert
  
• Route 115
  
• Route 119A
  
• Rusturf Tunnel
  
• Fiery Path
  

To collect the fragment, you don't have to only break the rocks, but as well interact with the destroyed rock after you destroyed it because the fragment is hidden.

You can notice which rock has the hidden fragment after you destroy them because the correct one has a "pebble" tile underneath.

 

I hope the information given provided you some clarification, please let me know if something is unclear and if you have any further questions.

Have a wonderful day !

thank you!
