A Fossil is an item that can be found in certain caves and dug up in the Underground. Fossils can then be resurrected into the Pokémon it's a Fossil of. Each Generation has its own set of Fossils consisting of at least two stage-two evolutionary families except Generations II, VII, and IX.

Resurrecting[]

In order to resurrect the Fossil into a Pokémon, the player will need to visit a building, usually a museum.

Trivia[]

  • Generation I and VIII are the only Generations to have more than two Fossils.
  • Generations II, VII, and IX are the only Generations without Fossils. In Gen II's case, this is likely due to the fact that Johto is geographically connected to Kanto and would likely have the same Fossils as Kanto, and in Gen VII's case, it's likely due to the fact that Hawaii, Alola's inspiration, is relatively geologically young.
  • Cranidos and Rampardos are the only Fossils that are pure Rock type.
  • Tirtouga and Carracosta are the only Fossils with Rock as a secondary type.
  • Generation VIII's Fossils are the only Fossils that aren't part Rock type.
