1. Diglett and Dugtrio: These Pokémon are specifically designed to dig up items. You can encounter them in the wild, and if you have the "Dig" move, you can use it on them to make them dig up an item.
2. Digging: Some Pokémon, like the "Dig" move, allow you to dig up items in certain locations. You can often find hidden items in areas where the ground is visibly different, like patches of soft dirt or marked spots.

Here's a breakdown of the specific methods in different games:

* Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: You can use the "Dig" move to uncover hidden items in certain areas of the dungeons.
* Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee: These games have Diglett and Dugtrio, who can use the "Dig" move to reveal hidden items.
