The Old Amber (Japanese: ひみつのコハク Secret Amber) is a Fossil which can be regenerated into Aerodactyl.
The Old Amber is different from the other Fossils, being a type of fossilized substance rather than a Fossil named by its appearance; however, the Aerodactyl skeleton in Pewter City Museum implies that it does have its own fossilized remains.
In the games
In the Generation I and III games, Old Amber is a Key Item obtained in a back room of the Pewter Museum of Science, from one of the scientists, who believes that it could be resurrected. Cut is required to access the room, as it is blocked by a cuttable tree. It is given to the player by one of the scientists working there. If brought to the Pokémon Lab on Cinnabar Island, Old Amber can be regenerated into an Aerodactyl.
In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, it is no longer a Key Item, being demoted to simply an item. It can be found by mining in the Underground after obtaining the National Pokédex. If brought to the Oreburgh Mining Museum, Old Amber can be regenerated into an Aerodactyl.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Old Amber can be found randomly by smashing rocks at the Ruins of Alph. If brought to the Pewter Museum of Science, Old Amber can be regenerated into an Aerodactyl.
In Black, White, Black 2, and White 2, a Worker in the Ice Rock room of Twist Mountain hands out a random Fossil from previous generations, including Old Amber, once per day. If brought to the Nacrene Museum, Old Amber can be regenerated into an Aerodactyl.
Rocks purchased in Antique Shops of Black 2 and White 2's Join Avenue may contain Old Amber.
In X and Y, Old Amber can be found randomly in Glittering Cave by smashing rocks. If brought to the Fossil Laboratory, Old Amber can be regenerated into an Aerodactyl. Alternatively, they can be sold at Poké Marts for $500.
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it can be found randomly through Rock Smash in different Mirage spots. It can be brought to the Devon Corporation in Rustboro City to regenerate it into Aerodactyl.
