I would like to make a suggestion to change the Shiny Rock in Excavation. As it currently stands the shiny rock feels underwhelming for a rock that is supposed to be special, it feels like just a normal rock. If I recall correctly this rock is not shiny locked, but the encounter rates feel worse than wild encounter rates as there is also a chance to not spawn a poke. This also brings me to another issue with the shiny rocks: the chance to get nothing from them. I feel this should be removed.

 

My suggestions to make these rocks better:

 

1. Increase the shiny appearance rate slightly

2. Each shiny rock giving a chance to receive a Nugget

3. Only spawning tier 6+ mons

 

I feel this is a step in the right direction to improve Exca as some have wanted.

+1 long ago it used to give better rewards dont know why they decided to nerf it bc all it seems like noe is just regular rock that wanted to look fancy

I agree that the shiny rock at excavation sites are kind of "useless" in a way. I disagree with increasing the shiny chance. Thanks.

+1 on removing the chance on getting nothing out of it.

If I recall correctly this rock is not shiny locked,

 

Correct, it isn't shiny locked. Agreed on the entire thread, pretty much all explained already. +1
