Learn how to find the Yellow, Blue, Red, and Green Shards in Pokemon Emerald. Exchange them for rare elemental stones like Thunderstone, Water Stone, Fire Stone, and Leaf Stone.

This side quest is done at route 124. All you'll need is Surf and Dive. If you pick up these shards, you can exchange them for the rare elemental stones. Get to Route 124 by flying to Mosdeep City. Now head left and surf onto route 124. On this route, head west and surf to the house where you will be exchanging the shards for the stones.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Yellow Shard: Start out by surfing to the north of the house. You'll find a dark patch where you can dive, but ignore this one and continue up north. You'll find another diving patch, but ignore this one and head up to the one in the northeast corner. Use dive to go underwater. Down here, follow the path to a dead end and then use B to dive back up. You'll find shallow water next to you with an item. That is the Yellow Shard. Now backtrack all the way to the house and give it to the guy for a Thunderstone.
  2. 2
    Blue Shard: Back at the house, you'll find a dark patch just to the left of the house. Ignore this path and continue surfing west, where you'll find Swimmer Jenny hanging out next to a dark patch. Again, ignore this path and head up north and slightly west, where you'll get to another path. Don't dive in this one, but instead use Dive in the patch just to the north and west of this one. Down here, Surf all the way down south until you get to two paths. Take the path on the left and you'll get to a dead end. At the dead end, surf back up to sea. Up here, head to the right and pick up the Blue Shard. Return to the house and give it to the guy for a Water Stone.
  3. 3
    Red Shard: Go back to the dark patch you used to get to the blue shard. This time, surf to the dark patch to the right of this one. Dive under the water. Down here, surf all the way up north until you get to a wall. From here, surf all the way west until you get to a dead end, where you'll find the shining light. Go back up top the surface and head right, where you'll find the Red Shard. Give it to the guy back at the house for the Fire Stone.
  4. 4
    Green Shard: Start at the house this time. Surf to the patch where Swimmer Jenny is. Don't dive down this path, but use dive on the patch just to the south of this one. Down here, surf down south until you get to a bright spot, and then surf back up. Back up here, collect the Green Shard, and then give it to a guy for a Leaf Stone.

Well, that's all here. Maybe you'll need one of these items.
