Terrain Excavation
Requirements
- Miner's Kit
- Land
- Pokemon Food
- A Ground, Rock, or Steel-Type Pokemon on the land to tend to the Mine.
Excavation Rate
Crater - 3 Days. Roll 1 D20 at end of Cycle.
Forest - 5 Days. Roll 1 D20 at end of Cycle.
Island - 7 Days. Roll 1 D20 at end of Cycle.
Feeding
Pokemon used in Mining will consume food at twice the rate of a normal Pokemon. This means that the Pokemon will eat two unites of food for every one battle. This means that in 5 battles, they will have eaten 10 unites of Pokemon Food. If one attempts to mine without food present their Pokemon will lose HP at twice the usual rate.
Excavation
Once the above requirements are met, Terrain Excavation is a relatively simple task. At the end of every Cycle (The number of days listed by each type of basic terrain above) you will be able to roll 1 D20. The results of this roll will determine what it is your Pokemon discovers (if anything). All items found will be stored upon the land until a Trainer comes to retrieve them. A Cycle will not end until after 1 D20 has been rolled. This means that if you were to wait 6 days before rolling in Crater Terrain (2x that of it's Excavation Rate) you would only be able to roll 1 D20, not 2.
