How to Get All 148 Excavation Collectibles
Excavation collectibles are items buried across Pokopia that you dig up from glowing spots. There are 148 in total: 37 big lost items, 46 small lost items, 22 fossils, and 43 CDs. This guide lists every item with how to get each one.
How to Dig Up Ancient Items
Look for glowing spots on the ground. Use Rock Smash to dig them up and receive an unidentified ancient relic.
Bring the relic to Professor Tangrowth for appraisal. Once identified, it registers in your collection.
Tip: Use Pokémon with the Dowsing skill to find hidden spots. Glowing spots respawn when the time of day changes — enter a building, change time, and exit to farm efficiently.
