Sniffers can dig up Cobblemon items alongside the vanilla plants. Each successful dig has a 60% chance to roll a Cobblemon drop on top of whatever flora the Sniffer would normally surface.
Getting a Sniffer
- Find a Sniffer egg by brushing suspicious sand in Warm Ocean Ruins.
- Place the egg on a warm block to hatch.
- Let the Sniffer roam on grass, dirt, or moss — it will dig automatically.
What you can dig up
The Cobblemon pool entries and their roll weights:
| Item | Weight | Per-dig share* |
|---|---|---|
| Relic Coin (1–4) | 45 | ~36% |
| Type Gem (any) | 15 | ~12% |
| Relic Coin Pouch | 12 | ~10% |
| Tumblestone (1–3) | 12 | ~10% |
| Black Tumblestone (1–3) | 9 | ~7% |
| Sky Tumblestone (1–3) | 9 | ~7% |
| Any single fossil | 1 each × 17 | ~14% combined |
*Share is within the 60% roll. Multiply by 0.6 for the overall per-dig odds.
The 17 fossils cover every Cobblemon revive: Helix, Dome, Old Amber, Root, Claw, Skull, Armor, Cover, Plume, Jaw, Sail, and the rest of the Gen 5–7 set.
A secondary fallback pool can also produce Vivichoke Seeds, Revival Herb, Mental / Power / Mirror / White Herb, Big Root, and Energy Root.
Passive farms
A fenced field with two or three Sniffers produces a steady stream of fossils, tumblestones, and Relic Coins while you do other things. Pair with a hopper run along the dig line and the drops collect themselves.
