Shard

A shard is a type of item that appears in Generations III and IV.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, shards can be traded individually for evolutionary stones. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, they can be traded in groups of 10 to a woman on Route 212 for a weather-changing TM. In Pokémon Platinum, shards can be used as payment for move tutoring.

In the Underground's mining game, they appear to be broken pieces of plates. Specifically, the Red Shard appears to be from a Flame Plate, the Yellow Shard appears to be from a Zap Plate, the Green Shard appears to be from a Meadow Plate, and the Blue Shard appears to be from a Splash Plate.
