Armor Fossil

The Skull Fossil (Japanese: ずがいのカセキ Skull Fossil) and Armor Fossil (Japanese: たてのカセキ Shield Fossil) are fossils from the Generation IV games.

The Skull Fossil can be regenerated into a Cranidos, and the Armor Fossil can be regenerated into an Shieldon.

The fossils can be revived by turning them in at a Scientist in the Oreburgh City museum.

Unlike previous games, where only one fossil would be available, but would be chosen from a set of two, in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, they are game-specific. Only players of Diamond can get the Skull Fossil, and only players of Pearl can get the Armor Fossil. However, there are unlimited amounts of them now found in the Sinnoh Underground, so players can trade revived Pokémon, or even the fossils themselves, to their friends without losing the chance to have them.

After unlocking the National Dex, players can also find the Root, Claw, Dome, and Helix Fossils and the Old Amber by digging in the Underground.
