In the anime
Anorith has not had a major role in the series, though it was seen amongst other fossil Pokémon on two occasions. Its first appearance was on a small island to the east of Hoenn's mainland in Where's Armaldo? where it was being studied with the other fossil Pokémon from Hoenn. More Anorith were resurrected and studied by the scientists in Oreburgh City in Wild in the Streets.
