The dwellers of the Buried Relic welcome you

The Buried Relic is a Pokémon fansite aimed at providing guides and tools both for regular play and shiny hunting, mainly focused on some of the older generations of games, although not completely limited to those. You will also find resources available in this dungeon.

The knowledge of the Pokémon community is in constant evolution, and the will to answer the most obscure questions keeps the machinery moving towards the truth. Nonetheless, some information related to niche topics stays confined among the participants in small communities, making it difficult for some users to access it. One example of this are the Gamecube installments of Pokémon (Colosseum/XD: Gale of Darkness) and how one would go on about shiny hunting in these games.

The Buried Relic turns one year old! It's unbelievable that it has already been a year since launch day. The website has gotten more support than imagined back in January of that year, when everything was still a prototype. Since then, there has been lots of content added, and the ideas keep popping up every day. Currently, the biggest guide on the website is in the works (a 50+ page document so far), which is steadily on its way to completion. The objective of this web is to share as much knowledge as possible, and if it helps at least a single person, it's all worth the effort. Thanks to all who visit the page!
