So far we have only been able to obtain Armorite Ore from Isle of Armor Dens. We are fairly confident that they do not drop from regular Wild Area battles - if you have experience/proof to the contrary leave us a comment below!
Get From NPCs
↑ The digging Ma offering to spend Ore to try to dig for more ore
If you find an NPC called the Digging Ma, you can get 1 Armorite Ore if you refuse her request. After you talk to her, she'll move to another random location on the island, but you can repeat this indefinitely if you're patient.
Added in the Isle of Armor DLC
The Armorite Ore was added to Pokemon Sword and Shield through the new Isle of Armor DLC, which released on June 17th.

Recommendation Rating: ★★★★☆
| Required Number | 7 pieces |
|---|
Near the entrance to the Courageous Caves you can find the father of the Digging Duo - the Digging Pa! Giving him 7 pieces of Armorite Ore will let you dig up a random (but often high) amount of Watts.
Remember that Watts can be used for Dojo Upgrades on the Isle of Armor as well, so you will need tons of them to unlock everything.
Reset EVs
Recommendation Rating: ★★★☆☆
| Required Number | 10 pieces |
|---|
On a remote island in the Workout Sea, a woman is waiting patiently to help you completely clear your Pokemon's EVs. She will, however, require 10 pieces, which we feel is kind of high at the moment. Only do this if it's absolutely necessary for you!
