General spawns information UPDATED

 

Apparently there are different "Tier" of expertise in archaeology:

 

- Beginner from 0 to 1200 discoveries (yet to verify 100%, maybe there are more tiers inside "beginner")

- Intermediate from 1200 to 1600 discoveries

- Advanced from 1600 - 3200 discoveries

- Expert from 3200 - 5000 discoveries

- Senior from 5000 - 6800 discoveries

- Master from 6800 - last rank

 

You can verify your tier from Gingery Jones in Glacial Site.

 

You encounter different spawns of pokemons / items based on your level of expertise (measured in number of discoveries).

You can gain "discovery points" by smashing the rocks inside each site.

 

If you encounter a spawn you're not "expert" enough to get, the pokémon will flee or you won't be able to find the item.

 

Shiny Rocks

JgBdili.gif

There is 1 shiny rock in every sites, you need the item "pickaxe" (75c in the shop) and MS to find something there.

Apparently the rare spawns here are more common, but to catch them you need a higher number of discoveries (most likely 5000+).

 

In every site you can find as items:

- Fresh Water / Escape Rope / Tiny mushroom

- All Kanto / Hoenn / Kalos fossils (after 6800 discoveries + MS)

 

NEW MECHANIC - ARTIFACTS

In every site now you can find Artifacts that can be traded in Historical Site for items. *List + Image coming*

 

Cooldown before respawns: 22 hours

I got a Beldum encounter in Mineral Site and I caught it.

I'm only a few hundred (if that many) discoveries in.

 

*Oh. I see there's an updated thread.
