How to find all 150 Alolan Diglett locations in Pokemon Isle of Armor

Pokemon Sword & Shield got its first DLC, The Isle of Armor, as part of the Expansion Pass on June 17. One of the addon’s sidequests asks you to find a whopping 150 Alolan Diglett hidden around the island – and we’ve got the location of every single one here.

After stepping out of the station in the Fields of Honor, players are tasked with making their way to the fighting dojo. Along the way, a mysterious NPC can be seen standing by a bridge, and will ask you to help hunt down 150 of his Diglett who have ran (or dug, rather) away and gone missing.

Hunting down that many monsters may seem like a daunting quest at first, especially since Alolan Diglett has three little hairs sticking out of its head and can easily be mistaken for blades of grass. If you’re stuck on where to find them, then you’ve come to the right place as we’ve got all the locations below.

Talk to the man by the bridge to begin the search.

All Alolan Diglett locations

You don’t have to collect all 150 before you return to the owner – you can come back any time to find out how many you still need to discover by interacting with the sign next to him. It lists what hasn’t been found yet by area, so if you lose your way at any point, it’s easy to pick up where you left off.

Returning certain amounts to the man will earn you some pretty sweet rewards – a whole horde of Alolan Pokemon. For the full list of prizes, check out our guide here. You can find the locations for all the missing Alolan Diglett below:
