2/6: From "Diglett" IconDiglett 1, go clock-wise around the island. When you reach the opposite shore (furthest from the mainland), look for some small pebbles between the shore and the tall grass.

3/6: From Diglett 2, continue clock-wise around the island. Go past the tree, towards the next bed of red flowers. It’s burrowed in the sand to the left of these flowers.

4/6, 5/6 and 6/6: From Diglett 3, face the Tower of Waters, then turn slightly left. There should be a Pokémon Den in the ocean. Head for the islet that’s past the den and slightly to the left.
