You can't see any glitters in the wall even when you tap your touchscreen?

Answer 1

Lmao I was stalking my Sister's account (Phoenix447) and saw her half-answer, and promptly decided this is my chance to one-up her, so here I go.

Yes, this is a bug. This happened to me multiple times during my Oak Challenge. Here are some solutions that worked for me:

• Playing with another game via inferred connection. This kind of force-summons more spots.
• Waiting, or time skipping. Sometimes the game is just kind of dumb. Usually after a set amount of time, without another game or DS, it'll just decide to work again.

However, you can get more shards in Fuego Ironworks and in the safari.

Fuego Ironworks - Exchange Star Pieces for 1 of each Shard with the man near the smelting furnace.

At the safari, go in. In your right there's an Ace Trainer, every day he will give you a shard.

Have you frequently touched the touchscreen? That should allow for those little glittery spots indicating an item to appear on the walls or on the top map. Try moving around a bit more and maybe leave and return underground to refresh. If that doesn’t help, try restarting your game, and make sure your touch screen is working correctly.

Hmm, maybe you’d need to leave and return to that area, or search somewhere else.   I’m going to start up my Platinum game, and see if maybe I come across anything similar.
