    You are obligated to start here in order to complete the quest, the fragments won't appear until you activate the script by talking to Fossil Maniac Charles
     
     
    ・Be sure to be Hoenn Champion before starting this quest, this is the first requirement.
    ・Go Route 114 in Hoenn, find Fossil Maniac Charles in his house and talk to him about the permit. bwKL0.png

    ・You now have to collect 6 different fragments spreaded around all the excavation sites (excluding the Wondrous Site).
    Please note that you don't have to enter in the sites.
    Get a Pokemon with Rock Smash (can be found in Mauville City) or a Pick Axe and hit all the breakable rocks around the enter of the sites.
    The fragment that you're looking for is hidden in one of the rocks.

    _____________________________________________________________________
     
    There are different tiers of expertise in archaeology. The tier depends on the discoveries you have made. You get 1 "Discovery Point" by smashing the rocks inside each site. With every tier you get access to more Pokemon and items. You can verify your tier by talking to Gingery Jones in Glacial Site.
     
    If you encounter a spawn you're not "expert" enough to get, the Pokemon will flee or the item gets destroyed. You'll however gain a "Bonus Discovery Point" each time you'll encounter a Pokemon who fled or if the item gets destroyed. As the range of the bonus may differ according to the tier of the encountered Pokemon, I won't specify the said bonus.
     
    There's also one Shiny Rock per site, you need to have the item Pickaxe (75c in the shop) to find something there.
    Besides the Pokemons from normal rocks, you can find exclusive Pokemon and items.
    Be careful and don't hope finding a Shiny Pokemon in this special rock according to its name. All Pokemon in Excavations Sites are Shiny Locked !

    Cooldown before re-spawn of rocks is 22 hours real time.
    The necessary Discoveries for the tiers are based on doing the excavation without Membership and without Pick Axe.
    The schedules to meet the different Pokemon are based on the in-game Poke Time. If nothing is specified, it means that the Pokemon spawns all the time.
    Don't forget that all findable Pokemon in Excavation Sites are Shiny Locked.
