Artwork of the Isle of Armor

The Isle of Armor (Japanese: ヨロイ島 Armor Island) is a large island in the Galar region featured in The Isle of Armor expansion. It is located off the east coast of mainland Galar, close to Spikemuth.

The Isle was once uninhabited and nameless, until it was bought and named by Mustard, who established his Master Dojo there to teach Trainers about Pokémon battles. The island is also home to 110 species of Pokémon not found on the mainland, which are documented in the Isle of Armor Pokédex.

Design concept

The Isle of Armor is based on the Isle of Man.

Geography

Weather

The weather on the Isle of Armor varies between areas, and each area changes weather when the date changes. The weather determines which wild Pokémon can appear, and it may cause certain weather conditions and terrain to appear in battle. The only kinds of weather not present on the Isle of Armor are Snow and Blizzard.

Digging Ma and Digging Pa

Digging Ma is the mother of the Digging Duo. She has the appearance of a female Worker. When the player encounters her, she'll offer one piece of Armorite Ore. In exchange for that piece, she can dig up more Armorite Ore until the player asks her to stop or until her shovel randomly breaks. If the player asks her to stop, she will reward all the Armorite Ores dug up, including the initial one; however, if her shovel breaks, the player will not receive any of the Armorite Ore from that session. Occasionally after her shovel breaks, she may be able to dig up more Armorite Ore instead. After this exchange, Digging Ma will relocate to another area on the island.

The Digging Pa is the father of the Digging Duo, and he always appears in the Training Lowlands just outside Warm-Up Tunnel. In exchange for seven pieces of Armorite Ore, he will dig for Watts. Each time he digs, he will dig up between 800 and 8000 Watts. Similar to the Digging Duo, there is no risk in asking him to keep digging, as if he runs out of energy and finishes digging, the player will get all the Watts he dug up.

In the anime

Pokémon: Twilight Wings

The Isle of Armor appeared in The Gathering of Stars, where Leon visited the Master Dojo to bring Mustard an invitation to the Galarian Star Tournament.
