How to Get Mysterious Shard S and L in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, digging in the Grand Underground yields both Mysterious Shard S and Mysterious Shard L. It's worth noting that they can only be found once you've defeated the Elite Four, obtained the National Pokédex, and entered Ramanas Park.

Enter the Grand Underground using the 'Explorer Kit' Key Item to find Mysterious Shards. Keep an eye on your minimap in the top-right corner as you travel into the Grand Underground. Any orange circles on the map that can be dug in are sites that can be dug in. Scanning the area for sparkles on the walls with the 'R' button; interact with them by hitting the 'A' button in front of them to start digging.

In handheld mode, tap the area with the touchscreen, or use the mouse to select a title and press a to dig with the pickaxe. Every tap causes the wall to fracture slightly, as evidenced by the crack at the top of the screen. The wall will crumble and excavation will be impossible once the crack reaches the other side. Instead of digging an individual tile, you can use the 'R' button to switch to a sledgehammer, which digs in a cross form.

As you dig, you'll detect objects beneath the rock and soil; remove them completely after the wall collapses or all valuables have been discovered. Do not dig around the iron plates because they are unreachable and will further weaken the wall. Mysterious Shard S and Mysterious Shard L are pink shards with a yellow star in the center that are both uncommon findings. Mysterious Shard L is a larger and more uncommon version of Mysterious Shard S.

There is no special method for obtaining either Mysterious Shard; you'll simply have to keep digging until you locate the amount required for the slate you're attempting to make. We advocate playing online since rarer objects spawn when you dig in the same places as other players. Large white flashes on the walls denote these locations.
