'''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.  
'''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 six areas contain at least one large Hideaway (known as Caverns), and multiple, smaller Hideaways (known as Caves) 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. At least three areas include surfable water. These hideaways are the Swampy Cave, Lakeside Cave and the Glacial Cavern.


The variety of Pokémon encountered increases at five milestones - obtaining TM97 Defog, obtaining TM96 Strength, earning the Icicle Badge, obtaining TM99 Waterfall, and unlocking the [[National Pokédex]] - while each badge earned will increase the strength of the Pokémon. The player does not need to be able to use the TM outside battle in order for more variable Pokémon to appear. All Pokémon in the Hideaways will have at least one [[Egg Move]] if applicable, and The Grand Underground also unlocks some Egg Moves that would otherwise be unobtainable, e.g. {{m|Aura Sphere}} for {{p|Squirtle}}.

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. This "Statue Effect" 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. Furthermore, larger statues and Color statues provide a greater effect. 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.
