The largest side quest in the Pokémon Sword and Shield’s Isle of Armor expansion has players searching the entire collection of islands for 150 Alolan Diglett scattered throughout the map.
You won’t see them moving around at all, but each of the the small yellow tips of the Mole Pokémon’s whiskers will be peeking out of the ground. All you need to do is walk up and interact with the top of its head and a short cutscene will play, showing the Alolan Diglett popping up out of the ground before leaving the area.
You will then receive a short message saying that Pokémon went back to its trainer, along with a total for how many Diglett are left in that specific area of the map.
It will take quite some time to track down each of the Diglett, but that time will be cut down significantly if you at least know where to go to find them all. The more Diglett you find, the more rewards you get from their trainer, including different regional variants that have items and Hidden Abilities.
Here is a list of how many Diglett you will need to locate in each area and a guide on how to find them all, which will be updated over the next 24 hours.
