'''Pokémon Hideaways''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンの{{tt|隠|かく}}れ{{tt|家|が}}''' ''Pokémon Hideaway'') are new places where [[wild Pokémon]] can be encountered. Unlike the main overworld, these areas feature [[symbol encounter]]s. Each of the seven areas contain at least one large Hideaway, though multiple, smaller Hideaways are scattered throughout the map. Various hideaways - particularly larger areas - include items for Trainers to discover, such as [[Deep Sea Scale]]. Some Pokémon available in the game can only be found in Hideaways.

* There are three types of merchants in the Grand Underground:
** Small sphere merchants allow the player to purchase additional [[Digger Drill]]s, small or medium pedestals, and TMs which change daily.
** Large sphere merchants who offer large or extra large pedestals, and a different set of TMs.
** An item exchange merchant, who will trade spheres in exchange for items that can be dug out. Additionally, he can also be paid to expand a player's [[Secret Base]].

==Secret Base==
Similar to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the player is able to create a [[Secret Base]] within the Grand Underground using a [[Digger Drill]]. However, unlike the previous games, the Secret Base can only be decorated with statues and pedestals to place them on.
Statues can be obtained from Stone Boxes. Stone Boxes can be found by digging, similar to spheres and fossils. There are two kinds of Stone Boxes, the common Pretty Stone Boxes and the rare Gorgeous Stone Boxes. Statues acquired from Pretty Stone Boxes are made of normal stone, while statues from Gorgeous Stone Boxes appear to be made of jade. There is a box for each [[type]]. The jade-colored statues may seemingly depict [[Shiny Pokémon]], due to the statues' names having the shiny symbol next to it.
Each statue placed in the Secret Base increases the chance of encountering a Pokémon of the corresponding type in Hideaways. Only the type with the greatest number of statues of the corresponding type will have a boosted effect, which is indicated by the color of the orb placed next to the entrance of the player's base. The boost is increased for every statue of that type that is placed in the player's Secret Base. If the Pokémon has two types, the primary type of the Pokémon has a greater effect than its secondary type in determining which type has a boosted effect. Hence, if only one statue of a dual-typed Pokémon is placed, the boosted type will correspond to the Pokémon's primary type. Further, larger statues and jade-colored statues provide a greater boost. Up to 18 statues can be placed at one time.
A player's chance of finding a Gorgeous Stone Box can be temporarily increased for four minutes by collecting 40 {{p|Diglett}} that can be found scattered throughout the Grand Underground. Each Diglett counts as one towards the tally, while encountering a {{p|Dugtrio}} counts as three. This count is reset when the player leaves the Grand Underground.
The size of the Secret Base can be expanded by exchanging spheres with one of the merchants in the Grand Underground. Like in the original, a player can only have a single base at a time.
==Merchants==
[[Sphere]]s can be used to exchange for pedestals and various items, such as [[TM]]s. There are three types of merchants in the Grand Underground:
* Small sphere merchants allow the player to purchase additional [[Digger Drill]]s, small or medium pedestals, and TMs which change daily.
* Large sphere merchants who offer large or extra large pedestals, and a different set of TMs.
* An item exchange merchant, who will give spheres in exchange for items that can be dug out. Additionally, he can also be paid to expand the player's [[Secret Base]].
