 * Areas now include Pokémon Hideaways, and each area now corresponds to a different aesthetic environment.
 ** At least one area includes Surfable water.
-* The digging minigame returns, with confirmed returning elements including the sledgehammer and pickaxe, and the ability to find at least [[Sphere]]s, [[Fossil]]s, and [[Shard]]s.
+* The digging minigame returns following closely to its original incarnation with the exception of digging up Pokémon statues.
-** Pokémon statues may now be newly dug up.
+** These statues may seemingly depict [[Shiny Pokémon]]. It is unknown if this has any effects other than aesthetics.

 * [[Secret Base]]s return and are created using a [[Digger Drill]] as before.
-** Bases can no longer be decorated with anything other than Pokémon statues. It is unknown if [[Goods]] are present in the game. Placing multiple statues corresponding to specific [[type]]s will increase the encounter rate of Pokémon of that type in Pokémon Hideaways.
+** Bases can only be decorated with statues and pedestals to place them on. Adding more of a specific type of Pokémon will increase chances of that type appearing in hideaways. The flag stealing mechanic has also been removed.
+* [[Goods]] and [[Traps]], with the sole exception of the Digger Drill, have been removed.
+* Spheres no longer have a numerical size and are instead categorized as Small or Large. They can no longer be buried either.
+* Instead of goods or traps, merchants in the Grand Underground can exchange treasures that can be dug up for spheres. Spheres can now be exchanged for pedestals, items, and TMs.
+* The radar is now triggered by pressing R and searches the area around the players location.
 * The Grand Underground supports online communications, compared to the original games which only supported local communications.
+* [[Diglett]] and [[Dugtrio]] will occasionally pop out and leave pink sparkles that give 1 and 3 points respectively. Accumulating 40 of these causes "something good to happen" and new digging spots with green sparkles appear that do not need radar to be found.
 ===Pokémon 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. 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. Some Pokémon available in the game can only be found in Hideaways. All Pokémon in the Hideaways will have at least one [[Egg Move]] if applicable, and earning more badges and becoming [[champion]] will increase the strength and variety of Pokémon found in the Hideaways.
 Each of the six areas appear to contain one large Hideaway along with multiple much smaller Hideaways, with the exception of the largest area, which has two large Hideaways.
