How do you get fossils in Brilliant Diamond?
In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, fossils can be obtained by mining in the Underground. The Underground is a vast network of caves where players can dig for valuable items, including fossils.
To get fossils in Brilliant Diamond, players need to first access the Underground by using the Explorer Kit. Once in the Underground, players can use the pickaxe to mine rocks and discover various items, including fossils. Fossils can be found in the form of Skull Fossils, Armor Fossils, Plume Fossils, and Cover Fossils.
After obtaining a fossil, players can take it to the Oreburgh Mining Museum to have it restored into a Pokémon. The scientists at the museum will revive the fossil into a prehistoric Pokémon that can be added to the player’s team.
