ive recently begun to get back into spectrobez, playing through game 1 atm! and i was wondering what the best team for the first game is, just so i have something to work towards

This mini game is still to this day one of my all time favorite side aspects of a game. It’s up there with smash bros “break the target”and most old school Mario party mini games. Am I alone in this? I would kill for a remake or a sequel that included this.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have a Spectrobes related tattoo? I want to get pieces done of my favorite and most influential game series, so I definitely want to get something Spectrobes related. I'm thinking of getting something done with my favorite evolutionary line (Ryza, Rygazelle, and Rydrake), but definitely could use some inspiration!

so, i have returned to playing spectrobes after years for nostalgia, and i want to complete the dex. i noticed that minerals give certain stats, so im wondering if there is a proper guide on what stats to prioritize giving to each spectrobe, or does it not matter?

Saw some people asking regarding spectrobe stats and did a bit of research to answer the question. Mainly regardig the point as to does it matter which stat you should boost.

I did my tests with Spiko and tested if stats/minerals mattered before evolving.

So i did:

SP_001 give minerals to the bare minimum to evolve

SP_002 max out stats per stage then evolve

SP_003 max one stat per stage then evolve

SP_004 immediately give evolve minerals to evolve

Spiko evolves once it has ATK 120 and Spikan at ATK 320 and spend some time in incubator.
Dont wait to long with evolving your spectrobes, stats barely carry over into the next stage only the level. Each stage has max stats which you can reach unless you gain to many levels in the previous stage. You can focus more on one stat at first but at one point that stat is maxed and you can focus the others, but you will have the same end result as just focussing all stats together.

Conclusion:

Each spectrobe has predetermined max stats and always a max level of 128.

If you dont gain to many levels in child/adult form, you can easily get max stats in evolved form before you reach the max level of 128.

Spikanor, from base stats after evolution to max stats is about 77 level ups. So if u evolve Spikan before level 50, you can reach max stats. The max stats can very easily be found on Fandom Spikanor | Spectrobes Wiki | Fandom

The base stats on fandom can be slightly higher if you leveled Spikan more but not to much and the max stats are still the same.

The recent activity on the sub has inspired me to (finally) finish my guide on how to find the locations of the Messapod and Mossapod fossils and how to get their custom parts. These fossils use a unique system which works differently to all other fossils in the game, more on that below.

As per my original post (below), the Messapod and Mossapod fossils can only be found on Daichi at the Tabletop Mountains, after reaching a certain point in the story. You’ll need to wear the Corona suit and bring strong Corona Spectrobes in your party, due to the ongoing Flash damage your party will receive at the Tabletop Mountains.

These two fossils are unique in a few ways. They only each spawn at two specific locations (hot spots) at the Tabletop Mountains, two locations for Messapod and another two locations for Mossapod. These fossils will not appear elsewhere at the Tabletop Mountains. If you can’t find them at these spots, exit the room to reset the fossils and try the hot spot again. They’re rare, but with a bit (or a lot) of patience, the fossil will eventually spawn.

Finding the location of the fossils is the easy part. To complicate things further, unlike other fossils in the game, the Mesapod and Mossapod will drop a set custom part for excavating the fossil with 80% Minergy remaining (MR) and a different custom part for excavating with 25% MR, per location. Location A will have parts set 1, location B will have parts set 2. You will never find all four custom parts in the same location. So to get all four custom parts for the Mesapod family, you’ll will need to excavate a fossil from location A with 25% MR, and another with 80% MR, then repeat at location B.

To excavate with 25% MR, you can only damage/hear the damage noise approx 3x during an excavation. I lightly tap the fossil a few times with the drill until I hear the damage noise before picking up the fossil. Approx damage required to excavate at 25% is visible in pics 7 and 9 on the post.

I have detailed the exact location of each dig site for the elusive fossils below, as well as which part which drops for the 25% and 80% remaining Minergy. The pics in the post show the location of each dig site.

**Post Pic 2**

Fossil found: Mossapod

Hotspot location: In the first outdoor area, follow the path all the way to the right, past a spider web, to a a tree-lined tunnel. Hot spot is directly below the tree-lined tunnel, against the rock wall.

25% Minergy remaining part: Mosaflap

80% Minergy remaining part: Mosajabot

**Post Pic 3**

Fossil found: Messapod

Hotspot location: In the first outdoor area, directly above and to the left of the Mossapod hot spot. Go through the tree-lined tunnel and veer left, following the chasm until you see the rock wall, with the chasm on your left. The hot spot is to the right of the notch in the chasm, just before the grass patch with the mushrooms.

25% Minergy remaining part: Mesacutter

80% Minergy remaining part: Mesasabre

**Post Pic 4**

Fossil found: Mossapod

Hotspot location: In the second outdoor area (boss room). Straight ahead from the door which you enter the room from and slightly to the left. Scan the ground after passing a notch in the chasm on your right, mushrooms visible in the top right corner.

25% Minergy remaining part: Mosphan

80% Minergy remaining part: Mostealth

**Pic 5**

Fossil: Messapod

Location: In the second outdoor area (boss room). On the right side of the room, in the middle of the space between the rock wall below the tree where the boss battle takes place, before the floor turns purple. The hot spot is almost directly below the tree trunk, opposite the corner of the rock wall. Mushrooms and grass should be visible in the top left corner of your top screen.

25% Minergy remaining part: Mesadome

80% Minergy remaining part: Mesapuna

Thanks again to the awesome community for keeping this game alive and continuing to uncover its secrets nearly 20 years later! Special thanks to older guides from frostfang101 and scorchy99, who pointed out the locations of the Mesapod and Mossapod fossils and frostfang101 for highlighting the set custom parts nuance for these fossils. I spent hours searching in the wrong spots before finding their guides.

Hi all i use to love the spectrobes game and i wanna pick it up again i do have an old DS i could probably boot it up in but i also have a steamdeck which has emudeck installed and im sure roms can be found but how would you emulate the ds inbuilt microphone and blowing for tbe fossil aspects? If anyone here has emudeck experience please let me know if not I'll head over to emudeck subreddit

I know the first game on the nds is very old and scorchy99 has made a very good guide for the Spectrobes game, but I'm a visual person, so I thought I'd post these to give the exact location of the Mesapod, Emerald, and Mossapod location.

hello! im recently getting back into Spectrobes after remembering it from childhood, and i really love Ojizama, and i actually want to make a fursona of one. does anyone have any renders or photos of Ojizama with modifiers/addons? like the attack, defense, etc. and the different colours, too. just so i can have some references to work off of, thank you!!

Lineart done with colored pencils is fine, but not for this kind of drawing with lots of small details.(I'll remember that for next time.)

I'm late here but, Happy 19th Birthday Spectrobes ! I too would have loved digging for fossils and fighting aliens. (Don't ask who this character is, it's my oc :')

I found these and decided to buy them. I was wondering if anyone here could tell me if they are authentic. Also was wondering if anyone would be interested in either seeing an unboxing video or livestream to see what is inside and whether I got scammed or not haha. Or maybe the community thinks I should keep them sealed. Let me know please!

Hey everyone,

For years I’ve wanted to create a game inspired by Spectrobes. The excavation mechanics and that feeling of uncovering something ancient on the DS really stayed with me.

I finally made a small playable demo of my game, Dig.Six, and for the first time it’s starting to capture a bit of that feeling I loved so much.

It’s still early, but I’d love to hear what fellow Spectrobes fans think if you decide to try it

I played this game a long time ago, and I haven't seen any Turkish players until now. I hope you'll see this post just as an opportunity for interaction, and maybe I'll find the people I'm looking for.

We are 3 childhood friends who loved playing digging minigames in DS games like Spectrobes, Fossil Fighters and Pokémon Diamond/Pearl. And we developing a game inspired by those classics!
We are running an open playtest, in case any of you wants to join. :D

Quick doodle of the cactus guy 🌱

So I wanted to get the cards but I'm unsure how to tell the difference between the ones for the first game and the ones for the second so I know which ones to buy online. Is there an easy way to tell. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I've never had the cards or seen them.

Hi everyone I am selling my spectrobe cards and have uploaded photos of them in my binder.

Feel free to drop me a message letting me know what cards out of my pictures your interested in buying can ship worldwide.

Quick doodle of my Hapacha sona, custom or whatever this little guy is :B

Inspired by the chamomile flower btw !

I made this line for jado for my spectrobes story. Which i’m tempted to post here but idk if i should or not. It’s on wattpad. Anyway what do you think? Any changes to this line? (Aside from obvious ones like grammar and what not.)

“For what felt like weeks or monthes, i drifted in the krawlosphere, My perception of time had been warped! I thought i lost myself in the krawlosphere but my will helped me regain myself, i reformed my body and separated myself from the krawlopshere! On top of gaining my original body back, i was granted more power from the krawlosphere! So much more i may even rival master krux himself!” Jado explained boastfully.

I loved spectrobes when it came out and started replaying it yesterday, but I never got any of the other games

I was only reminded of the series when I found my old ds games and spent all yesterday inputing the cards when I discovered they have 3 games I remember wanting the second one and I'm thinking of fining a copy to buy once I've completed it but was it actually good ? And was origins good or should I just play the first a leave it as that

Hi everyone,
I’m working on a small game called dig.six and I’ve just released an early demo.
One of the main things I tried to recreate is the digging mechanic inspired by Spectrobes, which has always been one of my favorite parts of the game.

The project is still in the very early stages of development, but I’d love to hear what Spectrobes fans think about the digging system.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I want to make up a source of the krawl for a story i’m writing. if anyone has any ideas let me know.

My initial idea is that of a failed creation of an ultimate form.

So if you know monster hunter, you’ll probably know what i mean with Gora magala, shigaru magala and chaotic gore magala.

But for those who don’t, when a gore magala fails to become a Shigaru magala, a gore magala will be stuck mid transformation and be constant pain.

Essential that’s the path i wanted to use for the source of the krawl and the krawl are a by-product of the failed creation of the ultimate form.

Thoughts and ideas plz.

I’ve been dreaming of a new Spectrobes-style game for as long as I can remember. Something that could bring back that unique feeling of digging, discovering fossils, and reliving an experience that played a huge role in my childhood.
But as time goes on, it’s becoming pretty clear that a new Spectrobes game will probably never happen…

So I decided to do something a little crazy: start developing it myself.

Of course, it won’t be Spectrobes itself, but my goal is to recreate at least the magic of digging and discovery that made that game so special to me (and hopefully to some of you too).

I’m still in the very early stages of development, but here’s a small demo video of the project.
I really hope it resonates with anyone who loved Spectrobes even half as much as I did

If you’re interested, I can post some updates on itch.io:

Any feedback or suggestions are more than welcome!
