Pokemon Sword and Shield - Digging Pa and Digging Ma Guide

Digging Pa and Digging Ma are a pair of digger NPCs found in the Isle of Armor. Both offer very different services but will only accept Armorite Ores as payment.

How to Get Armorite Ore

Services

You can pay Digging Pa Armorite Ores to dig up a huge amount of Watts for you. Digging Ma, meanwhile, can be hired to dig up more Armorite Ores, though there is a chance that she won’t actually find any before her shovel breaks.

Similar to the Digging Duo, your game will automatically be saved after you choose to avail of their services. Both NPCs will offer you their services for free the first time you meet them. Digging Pa, in particular, will usually dig up around 100,000 to 200,000 Watts for free.

Location

Digging Pa is found at Training Lowlands near the entrance to Warm-Up Tunnel while Digging Ma constantly moves around the wild area.

Digging Ma Locations

Sometimes you can tell when Digging Ma is on a certain location from a distance if you spot a shovel close by. Below is a list of possible locations:
