How Many Watts Can You Get From Digging Pa?

Usually Between 15,000 W〜30,000 W

Results of 16 Digs
10,000-20,000 W 20,000-30,000 W 30,000 W or more
19,700 W

21,500 W		 68,500 W
37,000 W
54,000 W
33,500 W
31,800 W

Digging Up 25,000 W Makes For a Successful Dig

From the results our team came up with after 16 digs, we found that the lowest haul was 15,500 W while the highest was 68,500 W, making the average around 30,907 W a dig. However, we found that we were getting between 15,000 W to 30,000 W per dig more often so it's good if you manage to dig up around 25,000 W.

Try for Over 21,000 W

For each Raid Battle you do, you have a chance of obtaining 1 or more Armorite Ore, and since Wishing Pieces cost 3,000 W a piece, you will need to dig up 21,000 W or more in order to profit.

Can Go Into Fever Mode

Obtain A Huge Amount of Watts

Example of Fever Mode Haul
527,000 W 230,000 W 176,500 W

Digging Pa will occasionally begin to continually dig up 5,000 W at a time, resulting in hundreds of thousands of Watts being dug up. When using Digging Pa to farm for Watts, it's safe to say your goal should be for him to go into Fever Mode.

The Move He Shouts Adds More Watts

Example of Moves
Drill Run +20000 W
Dragon Claw +50000 W
Giga Impact +70000 W

When Digging Pa finishes Fever Mode, there's a chance he'll shout out a move name, resulting in more Watts being added to your total!

Who is Digging Pa?

A Quick Way to Earn Watts

Digging Pa 2.jpeg

As his name suggests, and similar to the other Digging characters, Digging Pa is someone who will dig up Watts in exchange for Armorite Ore. For those who want to upgrade the Master Dojo in a short period of time, going to Digging Pa is highly recommended.

How to Farm Watts Quickly

Requires 7 Armorite Ore

In order to have Digging Pa collect Watts for you, you will need to pay him 7 Armorite Ore per dig. The first dig is free, however. On top of this, you have to save your progress before each dig, so it isn't possible to reset and try again.

How to Get Armorite Ore Fast

Based on Luck

When Digging Pa digs up Watts for you, you have the choice to stop him or let him stop on his own. As there are no downsides to him stopping on his own, you should never have to stop him yourself.

Can See Your Record

When talking to Digging Pa you have a choice that allows you to see the largest haul of Watts he's dug up for you until that point.
