'''Gyarados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャラドス''' ''Gyarados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magikarp}} starting at [[level]] 20.

Gyarados can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gyarados''' using the [[Gyaradosite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Gyarados Mouth Closed.png|thumb|left|250px|Gyarados with its mouth closed]]
Gyarados is a {{wp|fish|piscine}}, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long serpentine body covered in slightly overlapping scales. It is mostly blue with a yellow underbelly, and it has a row of yellow spots down each side. Its mouth is very large and gaping, bearing four pointed teeth and yellow lips. It has one pair of {{wp|barbels (anatomy)|barbel}} and a small white fin on each side of its face. The barbels are white on a female and blue on a male. It has small, red eyes, a three-pointed, dark blue crest on its head, and four white, spiky {{wp|dorsal fin}}s. Gyarados's tail fin is similar in structure to the crest on its head, except with a thin, white fin spread between the points.

The process of evolution causes a change in its brain structure that is believed to cause its violent nature. Gyarados's fangs can crush stones and its scales are harder than steel. Gyarados is feared for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies since ancient times. In some regions, Gyarados is called the "deity of destruction" because of this. It appears in times of conflict and destroys the surrounding area. Its rampages have been known to last a month at a time. These rampages can occur even during a harsh storm. A Gyarados's rage won't stop completely until everything is destroyed. Some believed any human settlement is fated to be destroyed should a Gyarados appear. Gyarados lives in both {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|fresh and salty waters}}. Both Gyarados and its Mega form have demonstrated in [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' that it can leap huge distances both from the water<ref>''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]''</ref> and from the ground<ref>''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]''</ref>, usually several times its own body length. However, Gyarados is rarely seen in the wild. The move {{m|Hyper Beam}} is often associated with Gyarados due to it being being powerful enough to instantly destroy everything it hits.

===Forms===
Gyarados can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Gyarados.

When it Mega Evolves, Gyarados becomes bulkier. The fins on its cheeks become longer and gain a yellow tint. Its crest is larger and black, and its barbels also gain considerable length. A large spike extends downward underneath its chin, and it now has a black underside with a red stripe around the edges. The yellow spots along its body are replaced by raised red scales, which propel Mega Gyarados through the water. Two large yellow fins with blue spines appear on its back. Most of the other fins along its back disappear, replaced by two rows of blue spikes. There are now four yellowish, spiky fins near its tail: two on its back and two on its underside.

Due the stress Mega Evolution puts on a Gyarados's body, it becomes even more ferocious and rough-tempered than before.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Gyarados | Mega Gyarados | Offical Site | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y]</ref> All other brain functions cease when Mega Evolution occurs, except for the destructive drive to burn down anything into cinders. Despite its brain having a powerful destructive instinct, it will obey a {{pkmn|Trainer}} it truly trusts. Mega Gyarados can launch at Mach Speed by using its orifices to release water from both sides. With this speed, it has enough power to split large ships in two. Mega Gyarados is tied with {{p|Hoopa}} {{fd|Hoopa|Unbound}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Dark}}.

==Game data==
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond and Pearl]], a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] Gyarados is featured on the TV on a program called "Search for the Red Gyarados." It is this that inspires {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Barry|their rival}} to go to [[Lake Verity]], to see if there is a rare Pokémon dwelling in it.

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]: A Gyarados appears in the [[Miracle Sea]]. He scares off the {{p|Phione}} in order to claim the Phione Dew, but is stopped by the player's team.
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Gyarados tries to take over the [[Beach Zone]] in {{p|Empoleon}}'s absence. {{p|Pikachu}} then has to beat Gyarados's Aqua Dash so Gyarados stops trying to take over.
* [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]: The player's Magikarp may evolve into Gyarados as part of the "Adios, Gyarados!" and "Macho Karp" {{DL|Pokémon: Magikarp Jump|Random encounter events|random events}}. However, once it evolves into Gyarados, it is forced to retire.
* [[Pokkén Tournament]]: Gyarados has been shown in the background of the Magikarp Festival stage as an NPC background Pokémon.

==Trivia==
[[File:Gyarados Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Gyarados in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gyarados's name was "Skulkraken", a combination of ''skull'' and ''{{wp|kraken}}'' (a mythological sea monster).
* The radio drama ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'' contains an audio footage of Gyarados's {{pkmn|discovery}} by a female researcher which ends disturbingly.
* Gyarados and {{p|Magikarp}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can be obtained without a [[trade]], [[transfer]], or {{pkmn2|event}} in every [[core series]] game.
* Gyarados, Magikarp, and {{p|Regigigas}} are the three Pokémon that can be encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} at the lowest and highest levels. In {{B2W2}}, Gyarados can be found at levels ranging from level 1 to 100 in the [[Nature Preserve]] by using a [[Super Rod]] in rippling water.
* In [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}}, Gyarados is the first of only two [[Shiny Pokémon]] to be integrated into a game's plot (the second was {{mdc|Celebi|2}} in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}).
* Gyarados's {{Shiny}} form is the first Shiny Pokémon to appear in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
* Gyarados and its pre-evolved form's [[Egg Group]] combination ({{egg|Water 2}} and {{egg|Dragon}}) is unique.
** Gyarados is the only {{type|Flying}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Water 2}}.
* Despite being part Flying-type, Gyarados couldn't learn any Flying-type moves naturally prior to [[Generation VII]].
* Gyarados is tied with {{p|Pelipper}} as the most common Pokémon found amongst [[Gym Leader]]s, being used by seven of them.
** Coincidentally, both are [[Water (type)|Water]] and [[Flying (type)|Flying]]-types.
* In many ways, Gyarados is the counterpart of {{p|Milotic}}. Both are the serpentine evolved forms of weak fish Pokémon, and both appear in times of conflict; Gyarados to destroy, Milotic to becalm. Both have base stat totals of 540, the only difference being the distribution of their {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats.
** Gyarados is tied with {{p|Milotic}} for the greatest increase in base stat total after evolving, at 340 points.
* Mega Gyarados is tied with {{p|Hoopa}} {{form|Hoopa|Unbound}} for being the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Gyarados appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess. It is only present after Magikarp is damaged.
* Gyarados has featured as multiple cultural references in the Pokémon franchise including {{wp|Koinobori}} in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and a 1997 May calendar insert, {{wp|Shachihoko}} on a Nagoya Castle pin, {{wp|Merlion}} from Pokémon Center Singapore, and most historically as the Dragon Gate myth discussed further below.

===Origin===
[[File:EP244 Unknown Pokémon.png|thumb|200px|The unnamed Pokémon resembling Mega Gyarados]]
Gyarados appears to be based on a sea dragon or {{wp|sea serpent}} and a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}. It may also be partially based on a legend about how carp that leaped over the {{wp|Longmen (mythology)|Dragon Gate}} would become {{wp|dragon}}s. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate such as the {{wp|Longmen Mountains}}. This is referenced by [[Pokémon Snap]], as the player needs to get a Magikarp into a waterfall to evolve it into Gyarados, but only after it leaps over a mountain. In a far later game, {{g|Legends: Arceus}} uses this reference as a display piece, as there is a waterfall in the Fabled Springs area of the [[Coronet Highlands]] where a school of Magikarp can be found at the plunge pool of the waterfall, while a small population of Gyarados can be found at the edge of the waterfall, as if the Gyarados were all Magikarps that had successfully climbed the waterfall. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles, which can be tied to the fact that Gyarados' pre-evolved form, Magikarp, could possibly take a lot of drive and effort to legitimately evolve into Gyarados.

It may be partially based on the ''{{wp|kraken}}'', as both are destructive sea monsters that are infamous for terrorizing humans. To add to this, one of Gyarados' original names was considered to be "Skullkraken". Gyarados's {{t|Flying}} type may be a reference to ''{{wp|koinobori}}'', a carp-shaped {{wp|windsock}} traditionally flown to celebrate {{wp|Children's Day (Japan)|Children's Day}} in Japan, formerly called ''Tango no Sekku'' (端午の節句). Though it is more likely to be associated with Eastern Dragons in general due to their associations to Water and the Sky - such as the {{wp|Azure Dragon}}. It could also be inspired by the South African cryptid {{wp|Inkanyamba}}, a giant, winged eel that causes storms when angry, a trait Gyarados is famous for.

Mega Gyarados' appearance bears similarities to the aforementioned ''koinobori''. Furthermore, its design, specifically its large dorsal fins, strongly resembles that of the unnamed "legendary water Pokémon" seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP244|Enlighten Up!]]'', first aired on April 18, 2002, in which Misty recounts seeing an unknown water Pokémon. This creature may have inspired the design of Mega Gyarados when it was eventually created 10 years later.

[[File:Gyarados Capsule Monsters 1990 Sprite Sheet.png|thumb|200px|Gyarados' beta sprite]]
On December 2018, the beta sprite for Gyarados was showcased on a NHK Broadcast in Japan, where it had a worm-like body with a mouthful of sharp teeth, barbels on the top of its head, and multiple fins on the side of its body.<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/pokemon-beta-designs-red-green-1265710</ref> The inspiration for this original design may be related to the myth of 鯰 ''{{wp|Namazu}}'' or 大鯰 Ōnamazu from 16th century Japan. Namazu was known as a catfish that was said to destroy cities with earthquakes and appears during times of human conflict - much like Gyarados' Pokédex entries in the original first two generations of games. Namazu's history as a mythos is also directly tied to {{wp|Lake Biwa}} - the real life version of the Lake of Rage - where said earthquakes were said to occur.

====Name origin====
According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Gyarados's name has no specific origin and was chosen merely for its "force".<ref name=Nameorigin>[https://archive.ph/ueFjq Tweet by 杉森建 (@SUPER_32X).] Posted on December 12, 2011. Archived from the original via Archive.today.</ref> However, it may be variously derived from 虐殺 ''gyakusatsu'' (slaughter), 逆境 ''gyakkyō'' (adversity), or 逆転 ''gyakuten'' (reversal, turnaround); 荒らす ''arasu'' (to devastate); and 脅す ''odosu'' (to threaten).

'''Magikarp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイキング''' ''Koiking'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Gyarados}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
[[File:Magikarp Jump Pattern 30.png|thumb|left|200px|The "Blue Raindrops" variety of Magikarp]]
Magikarp is a {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with large, heavy reddish-orange scales. It has large, vacant eyes and pink lips. Its {{wp|fish fin|pectoral}} and tail fins are white. On its back is a stiff, three-peaked yellow fin, resembling a crown; there is an identical fin on its underside. It also has long {{wp|barbel (anatomy)|barbels}}. The barbels are white on a female and pale-yellow on a male. A long-lived Magikarp is able to utilize its immense splashing power to leap high enough to scale mountains. It also has a strong enough immune system to survive in the most polluted of waters. However, it is usually overlooked by Trainers because of its perceived weakness: even in the heat of battle, it will do nothing but flop around. It is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than modern Magikarp, and this led scientists to research this species.

Magikarp is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|many bodies of water}}, such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. However, due to its weak swimming ability, it usually lives downstream of the water's flow. In [[Generation I]], {{m|Splash}} was its [[signature move]]. It is often seen using Splash to leap out of the water, which makes it an easy target for predators such as {{p|Pidgeotto}} and {{p|Pidgeot}}. {{p|Frillish}} is also known to prey on Magikarp.

In [[Hoppy Town]], there are at least [[Variant Pokémon#Magikarp|31 unique pattern varieties]] of Magikarp, with their scales coming in colors such as gray, black, white, purple, pink, violet, apricot, and brown. These patterns can be classified by groups, depending on how the Magikarp looks while it is still small; a specific pattern arises when it becomes bigger. Which patterns can be caught depend on the type of Old Rod; the better the rod, the more groups of patterns can be fished. The people in Hoppy Town train their Magikarp to jump the highest in order to compete in a series of [[League]]s to win prizes.

===Evolution===
Magikarp evolves into {{p|Gyarados}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Magikarp Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Magikarp in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Magikarp and {{p|Gyarados}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can be obtained without a [[trade]], [[transfer]], or {{pkmn2|event}} in every [[core series]] game.
* Magikarp, Gyarados, and {{p|Regigigas}} are the three Pokémon that can be encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} at the lowest and highest levels. In {{game|Platinum}}, Magikarp can be found at levels ranging from level 1 to 100 in the [[Resort Area]], and in {{B2W2}}, it can be found at the same levels in the [[Nature Preserve]]; both require a [[Super Rod]].
** Furthermore, Magikarp can be encountered at level 100 in the rightmost lake of [[Fellhorn Gorge]] in [[Kitakami]].
* Magikarp and its evolved form require the fewest [[Egg cycle]]s to hatch, with five.
** Magikarp and its evolved form are also the only Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon by base Egg cycles|unique base Egg cycle]].
* Magikarp was the first Pokémon featured in [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]] in [[EP061]].
* Magikarp and its evolved form's [[Egg Group]] combination ({{egg|Water 2}} and {{egg|Dragon}}) is unique.
* Magikarp is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Magikarp shares several notable similarities to {{p|Feebas}}:
** Its level-up moves are exactly the same as those of Feebas.
*** However, Feebas can learn multiple moves from [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, hatch from an Egg with [[Egg Move]]s, and learn new moves via Move Tutors, making it slightly more useful in battle.
** Magikarp shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with Feebas. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.
** Magikarp and Feebas have almost identical stats. However, Magikarp has a higher {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}}, while Feebas has a higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}. Both Attack and Defense stats for Magikarp and Feebas are reversed.
** They share the largest base stat total increase of all Pokémon when they evolve: 340 (from 200 to 540).
** They both change appearances drastically after evolution, evolving into serpentine, dragon-like Pokémon.
* Magikarp has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
** Magikarp is also tied with {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Carvanha}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Attack Forme}} {{p|Deoxys}}, and {{p|Stonjourner}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Pokémon.
* Magikarp is the only Pokémon which can be found in every [[Pokémon Snap]] course except [[Rainbow Cloud]], which features only {{p|Mew}}.
* Together with {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Ninjask}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, and {{p|Seedot}}, Magikarp is the easiest Pokémon to catch in {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, with only one loop necessary.
* Magikarp is the only Pokémon in [[Pokémon Conquest]] that uses a move that it does not share a type with, as it uses {{m|Splash}}.
* On July 28, 2016, and May 12, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]] respectively posted a Magikarp-themed music video onto their YouTube channels, titled [[the Magikarp Song]].
* Magikarp appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess. When damaged, it reveals Gyarados.
* Although Magikarp is stated by multiple Pokédex entries to be "the weakest Pokémon", there are several Pokémon with lower [[base stats|base stat totals]], such as {{p|Sunkern}}, or with access to fewer viable moves, such as {{p|Unown}} only being able to learn {{m|Hidden Power}}, and {{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}} being unable to learn any damaging moves at all.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Magikarp}}
Magikarp appears to be based on the {{wp|Asian carp}}, which are easily frightened by disturbances in water and can jump 8–10 feet (2.5–3 m.) in the air. Its Shiny coloration may be a visual pun on a {{wp|goldfish}}. The golden dorsal fin of Magikarp may be based on a crown which likely originate from the pun on the Japanese word for goldfish 金魚 ''Kingyo''. Magikarp's permanently open mouth may be a reference to ''{{wp|koinobori}}'', a carp-shaped {{wp|windsock}} traditionally flown to celebrate {{wp|Children's Day (Japan)|Children's Day}} in Japan.

Magikarp's evolution into Gyarados may be based on a legend about how carp that leaped over the {{wp|Longmen (mythology)|Dragon Gate}} would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles. This may have inspired an element in {{g|Snap}} where, after certain steps are taken, a Magikarp can splash its way into a waterfall where it evolves, as well as in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, as there is a waterfall in the Fabled Springs area of the [[Coronet Highlands]] where a school of Magikarp can be found at the plunge pool of the waterfall, while a small population of Gyarados can be found at the edge of the waterfall.

====Name origin====
Magikarp may be a combination of ''magic'' (referring to its drastic power increase upon evolving into Gyarados or to magical goldfishes) and ''{{wp|carp}}''.

Koiking may be a combination of 鯉 ''{{wp|koi}}'' (carp) and ''king'', which may come from 金魚 ''Kingyo'' (goldfish).

A '''Fossil''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|化石|カセキ}}''' ''Fossil'') is a trace or piece of an organism from the past, such as a skeleton, shell, or leaf, preserved in the earth.

In the [[Pokémon world]], Fossils of prehistoric Pokémon are [[item]]s which can be revived into living Pokémon using techniques developed by the [[Devon Corporation]] and a research laboratory on [[Cinnabar Island]]. The two institutions purportedly developed their techniques independently of each other at around the same time. There are also other scientists around the Pokémon world who can revive Fossils using these techniques.

Pokémon revived from Fossils and the evolutions of those Pokémon are called '''Fossil Pokémon''', or '''fossil Pokémon.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/product-gallery/xy-ancient-power-box Ancient Power Box], Product Gallery</ref><ref>[https://pokemon.com/us/animation/seasons/23/episode-38-restore-and-renew ''Restore & Renew!'' description, [[Pokémon.com]]]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/fossil-pokemon-take-over-pokemon-gos-2023-adventure-week Fossil Pokémon Take Over Pokémon GO’s 2023 Adventure Week], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>Pokémon TCG Rulebooks</ref>

In the games, relatively few [[Pokémon Trainer]]s possess Pokémon revived from Fossils, since they are considered rare and difficult to obtain.

===[[Generation I]]===
[[File:Green Mt. Moon Fossils.png|thumb|The Fossils found in Mt. Moon]]
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the first three Fossils were introduced. They have also appeared in most of the later games. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Old Amber|Old Amber}}
|}

The Helix and Dome Fossils are chosen near the end of the second basement passage in [[Mt. Moon]], being guarded by a Super Nerd, but the player may only choose one to keep. The other one that the Super Nerd takes will be revived and put on display in the [[Fuchsia City]] zoo in front of the [[Safari Zone]]. The Old Amber is located in the secret part of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], which can only be accessed with [[HM01]] Cut. In the regularly accessible portion of the museum are complete fossilized skeleton displays of {{p|Kabutops}} and Aerodactyl.

A scientist in the Pokémon Lab on [[Cinnabar Island]] can revive the Fossils. The resulting Pokémon are level 30.

There are no held items in [[Generation I]], so fossils cannot be given to Pokémon to hold.

[[Lance]] is the first Trainer to be seen with a Fossil Pokémon, possessing an Aerodactyl due to its draconic appearance.

===[[Generation II]]===
No new Fossils were introduced in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and the three Fossils from Generation I have been removed from the games' data. In-game, the player simply doesn't happen to find any Fossil during their adventure, while the previously introduced Cinnabar Lab has been destroyed.

However, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}} are prominently featured in the puzzles located at [[Ruins of Alph]]. Of the three, only Aerodactyl is actually obtainable in the games via an in-game [[trade]] with an NPC in Kanto (for {{p|Chansey}}). Omanyte and Kabuto must be traded from Generation I.

[[Lance]], who is now the [[Pokémon Champion]], continues to have an Aerodactyl on his team. In addition, [[Brock]], being a Fossil enthusiast, has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} in this generation's games, as well as the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium games]] in [[Gym Leader Castle]]. His fondness of Fossils is referenced again in the next generation of games when a man in [[Mt. Moon]] mentions that Brock helps excavate Fossils at the location, which implies that he excavated Omastar and Kabutops's Fossils himself.

===[[Generation III]]===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, two new Fossils were introduced. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{hoenn color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{hoenn color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Root Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|345|Lileep}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Claw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|347|Anorith}}
|-
| style="background:#{{grass color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Root Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{bug color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Claw Fossil}}
|}

In Ruby and Sapphire, the player can choose one of either the Root or Claw Fossils at {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, and upon choosing, the other will sink away into the sand. In Emerald, however, while the player can only choose one initially at the [[Mirage Tower]], they can retrieve the other later at the end of the [[Desert Underpass]]. In all three versions, Fossils may be revived by a scientist in the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]] and the newly resurrected Pokémon are obtained at level 20.

In the {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Generation I remakes|s}}, the player can obtain the same Fossils as in the original versions: a required choice of the [[Helix Fossil|Helix]] or the [[Dome Fossil]] after fighting a Super Nerd in the second basement of [[Mt. Moon]], and the [[Old Amber]] from a scientist in the secret area of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. Likewise, a Scientist on [[Cinnabar Island]] can still revive the fossils; however, the newly resurrected Pokémon are this time obtained at level 5.

In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, the [[Champion]] [[Steven Stone]] has two Fossil Pokémon, {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}}. In {{v2|Emerald}}, over the course of rematches, [[Roxanne]] will eventually gain a {{p|Kabutops}}, an {{p|Omastar}}, and an {{p|Aerodactyl}} for her team. In this game, Steven is no longer the Champion, but he may be encountered at [[Meteor Falls]] with a higher level variation on his original team that still includes his Fossil Pokémon partners. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Lance continues to have Aerodactyl on his team, the resurrected form of the fossil that wasn't chosen at Mt. Moon can still be viewed at the zoo in [[Fuchsia City]], and complete fossilized skeletons of Kabutops and Aerodactyl are still on display at the Pewter Museum of Science.

In Generation III, all Fossils are Key Items, and cannot be traded to other games to be revived.

===[[Generation IV]]===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, two new Fossils were again introduced:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{sinnoh color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{sinnoh color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Skull Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|408|Cranidos}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Armor Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|410|Shieldon}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Skull Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{steel color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Armor Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be turned into level 20 Pokémon at the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]].

In Diamond and Pearl, for the first time in the series, the Fossils the player is able to receive are dependent on the version played: Skull Fossils are available in Diamond only and Armor Fossils in Pearl only. In Platinum, whichever Fossil a player digs up will depend on whether the Trainer ID is even or odd. If the Trainer ID is even, the player will dig up Armor Fossils only, and if the Trainer ID is odd, the player will dig up Skull Fossils only.

In [[Sinnoh]], when players travel to the [[Underground]], they can find most of the Fossils by digging, along with several other rare items, potentially. After getting the [[National Pokédex]], they can also find the five Fossils from the previous three generations. However, the chances of finding most of the previous generation Fossils, much like with several other items, follows a similar formula to the Sinnoh Fossils. This makes it easier to find certain Fossils which are found uncommonly, while the others become more difficult in the opposite version which instead are found very rarely. For example, the Helix and Claw Fossils have an easier chance to be found if the Skull Fossil is available, or the Dome and Root Fossil if the Armor Fossil is available. The Old Amber is the only Fossil whose ratio remains unchanged regardless of version as it will always be found rarely.

In [[Johto]]'s [[Generation IV]] games, the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Helix Fossil|Helix]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils as well as the [[Old Amber]] can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s outside [[Ruins of Alph]]. [[Root Fossil|Root]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Claw Fossil|Claw]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the [[Cliff Cave]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Fossils found in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} can be revived as level 20 Pokémon at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. The Skull and Armor Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon revived from them, must be transferred from Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.

Starting in this generation, Fossils are considered to be normal items. As such, they can be held by a Pokémon and traded to another game.

[[Roark]] has a Cranidos, while his father, [[Byron]], has a {{p|Bastiodon}}. {{p|Rampardos}} and Shieldon are also used by two minor Trainers. After entering the [[Hall of Fame]], {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be spotted with other Trainers.

As in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, [[Brock]] has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} on his team in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and also uses a Rampardos in rematches. [[Lance]] continues to have Aerodactyl on his initial team, but it is not used in rematches.

===[[Generation V]]===
{{game|Black and White|s}} once again brought a new set of Fossils to the Pokémon world:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{unova color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{unova color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{water color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Cover Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|564|Tirtouga}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Plume Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|566|Archen}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Cover Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Plume Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be revived into level 25 Pokémon using a machine in the [[Nacrene City]] Museum.

In Pokémon Black and White, one of these two Fossils will be given away by a person in [[Relic Castle]], similar to how the Helix and Dome Fossils are originally obtained in the Kanto-based games.

In the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|sequels]] to these games, the Cover and Plume Fossils are instead given away by former Gym Leader [[Lenora]] at the Nacrene City Museum itself, which is only accessible after defeating [[Iris]] and entering the Hall of Fame.

After defeating [[Ghetsis]]{{sup/5|BW}} or [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, Fossils that were introduced in previous generations will be given out by a {{tc|Worker}} in [[Twist Mountain]], with one being given out per day. In addition, after defeating Iris and achieving Rank 15 for [[Join Avenue]], the Antique Shop on Join Avenue has a chance of selling a mystery box that could contain any fossil, whether introduced in Generation V or earlier. And as with Generation IV, Fossils are regular items and may be held by Pokémon and traded to other games.

In [[Chargestone Cave]], a couple of {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s battle with a {{p|Tirtouga}} and an {{p|Archen}} in both sets of games. The potential Pokémon used by opponents on the [[Battle Subway]] are inclusive of both Fossil Pokémon and their evolutions, and {{tc|Subway Boss}} [[Emmet]] uses {{p|Archeops}} in one of his rematch battles.

In Black and White, both {{p|Carracosta}} and Archeops are used by [[N]] in the final battle against him within [[N's Castle|his castle]].

In Black 2 and White 2, two {{tc|Backpacker}}s on {{rt|1|Unova}} also use teams entirely made out of Fossil Pokémon, and new Gym Leader [[Marlon]] uses {{p|Carracosta}} in all battles against him. During [[Pokémon World Tournament]] competitions, many contenders use teams that may include of Fossil Pokémon: {{ga|Blue}} has {{p|Aerodactyl}}; [[Brock]] has {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, and Aerodactyl; [[Erika]] has {{p|Cradily}}; [[Falkner]] has Aerodactyl; [[Bugsy]] has {{p|Armaldo}}; [[Roxanne]] has Cradily, Armaldo, and Carracosta; [[Steven Stone|Steven]] has Cradily, Armaldo, and Archeops; [[Roark]] has {{p|Rampardos}} and Archeops; Byron has {{p|Bastiodon}}; [[Skyla]] has Archeops; [[Marlon]] has Carracosta; Ace Trainer X has Archeops; and Ace Trainer Makina has Tirtouga. In the Rental Tournaments, all four Generation V fossil Pokémon are available to rent by both the player and all other competing trainers.

===[[Generation VI]]===
Two Fossil Pokémon were introduced for {{g|X and Y}}.

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kalos color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{kalos color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Jaw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|696|Tyrunt}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Sail Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|698|Amaura}}
|-
| style="background:#{{dragon color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Jaw Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{ice color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|000|Sail Fossil}}
|}

One of the two Fossils is given to the player in [[Glittering Cave]] and can be restored at the research facility in [[Ambrette Town]]. The resulting Pokémon are level 20. The [[Old Amber]] can also be collected after this by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the back of Glittering Cave.

Gym Leader [[Grant]] uses {{p|Tyrunt}} and {{p|Amaura}} and their evolved forms in subsequent rematches. Champion [[Diantha]] also uses {{p|Tyrantrum}} and {{p|Aurorus}}.

After entering the [[Hall of Fame]], the player can return to Glittering Cave and smash rocks to find the Skull, Armor, Plume, and Cover Fossils, regardless of version, as well as Root and Claw Fossils{{sup/6|X}} or Dome and Helix Fossils{{sup/6|Y}}.

In Hoenn's Generation VI games, the Root and Claw Fossil are collected and restored the same way as the original Ruby and Sapphire games. Restoring Fossils can be done at the second floor of the [[Devon Corporation]]. After battling {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}, a number of other Fossils can be collected by smashing [[breakable rock]]s at the [[Mirage spot]]s. While the Old Amber can be found regardless of version, the Dome, Armor, and Plume Fossils are exclusive to Omega Ruby and the Helix, Skull, and Cover Fossils are exclusive to Alpha Sapphire. The Jaw and Sail Fossils are absent from both games, but may be transferred from X and Y - for as with Generations IV and V, Fossils are regular items and may be held by Pokémon and traded to other games.

===[[Generation VII]]===
Generation VII introduces no new Fossils, but the player may obtain most of the previous Fossils depending on the game. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], only the Fossils from Sinnoh and Unova are available. Their location is at [[Olivia]]'s jewelry shop in [[Konikoni City]], where the player can buy a [[Skull Fossil]] and a [[Cover Fossil]] in Pokémon Sun or an [[Armor Fossil]] and a [[Plume Fossil]] in Pokémon Moon.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], this has been expanded to include more of the previous Fossils which were absent from the original games. The [[Helix Fossil|Helix]], [[Claw Fossil|Claw]], and [[Jaw Fossil|Jaw]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Skull and Cover Fossils in Ultra Sun, and the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]], [[Root Fossil|Root]], and [[Sail Fossil|Sail]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Armor and Plume Fossils in Ultra Moon. Additionally, unlike the original games, any of these fossils can now also be obtained from Isle Aphun at [[Poké Pelago]] regardless of version. This is done from conducting a Rare Treasure-Hunting expedition (or an Interesting Item-Hunting expedition once the island has reached Development Level 3), where any of these Fossils have a very rare chance of being obtained.

The Fossils can be revived at the Fossil Restoration Center on {{rt|8|Alola}}. The newly revived Pokémon come at level 15.

Unlike the other Fossils, the [[Old Amber]] is unobtainable in [[Alola]]. Instead, an {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be obtained at [[Seafolk Village]] as a [[gift Pokémon]].

Several minor Trainers use some of these Fossil Pokémon or their evolved forms as part of their teams. In addition for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon only, [[Olivia]] uses both {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Anorith}} during her grand trial. Later, when the player faces Olivia at the {{al|Pokémon League}}, they have evolved into {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}} respectively as part of her upgraded team. At the [[Battle Tree]], {{tc|Battle Legend}} {{ga|Blue}} uses Aerodactyl, much as he had in for the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], all three Kanto Fossils are obtainable in the same locations as they were in Generations I and III. On the second basement of [[Mt. Moon]], the player must still make a choice of either the [[Helix Fossil|Helix]] or [[Dome Fossil]] to proceed with the main story, and the [[Old Amber]] may still be obtained from a scientist in the restricted annex at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] after their first partner Pokémon has learned the Secret Technique [[Chop Down]]. All three fossils may be revived at the lab on [[Cinnabar Island]], but this time the resulting Pokémon are obtained at level 44.

Additional instances of the Kanto fossils may be obtained in these versions; a first for the [[Generation I]] [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|games]] [[Pokémon Yellow Version|and]] [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|their]] [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|remakes]]. All three fossils may be found on the second floor of [[Cerulean Cave]], where random rare items spawn occasionally.

During rematches, [[Brock]] adds an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} to his team in a reflection of their usages in [[Generation II]], {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and Black 2 and White 2. [[Lance]] still uses an Aerodactyl on both his teams, as does Blue in his rematch team in a reflection of its usage in his teams in Black 2 and White 2, Sun and Moon, and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Either {{p|Omanyte}} or {{p|Kabuto}} may still be seen at the Zoo in [[Fuchsia City]], depending on which fossil was not chosen in Mt. Moon, and the fossilized skeletons of Aerodactyl and Kabutops are still on display in the Pewter Museum's normally accessible floors.

===[[Generation VIII]]===
Generation VIII introduced four new Fossils, the most of any generation. Reviving Fossils in {{g|Sword and Shield}} is a much different process than it has been in the past generations. Two completely different Fossils must be combined, by [[Cara Liss]] on {{rt|6|Galar}}, to form a chimeric Fossil Pokémon. These Pokémon all start at [[level]] 10, their [[Gender unknown|genders are unknown]], and [[No Eggs Discovered (Egg Group)|cannot breed]]. These are also the only Fossil Pokémon that are not {{type|Rock}}.

Most previous Fossil Pokémon can be encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} in the [[Crown Tundra]], often as [[wanderer]]s, with possible exceptions being {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Omastar}} (exclusive to Sword), {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}} (exclusive to Shield), and [[Generation IV]] Fossil Pokémon (unavailable in both versions). While no attention is brought to the reason for their presence as wild Pokémon in modern times, with most of their [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] in Sword and Shield either mentioning they were revived from Fossils or glossing over their status as Fossil Pokémon entirely, {{p|Omanyte}}'s entry in Pokémon Sword specifically mentions specimens that either escaped or were [[Released Pokémon|released]] after their revival. The only other clearly stated case is {{p|Kabuto}}, whose Pokédex entries have been mentioning its status as a {{wp|living fossil}} since [[Generation II]]. Data for their respective Fossils still exists in the games, but they cannot be obtained.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, it is for the most part the same as {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with only the Fossils from the first four generations available, with Skull Fossils being exclusive to Brilliant Diamond and Armor Fossils being exclusive to Shining Pearl. They can be dug up in the Underground's replacement, the [[Grand Underground]]. Unlike the originals, the Fossils from the first three Generations are available earlier; the requirement for them to appear in the Grand Underground is to defeat or capture {{p|Dialga}}{{sup/8|BD}} or {{p|Palkia}}{{sup/8|SP}} on the [[Spear Pillar]], rather than obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], but their encounter ratio is still the same depending on the version like the original games, excluding the Old Amber. Like in the originals, [[Roark]] uses a {{p|Cranidos}} and his father [[Byron]] uses a {{p|Bastiodon}}, both as their highest-leveled Pokémon. {{p|Rampardos}} and {{p|Shieldon}} are used by a few Trainers, and the former evolves from Roark's Cranidos in the [[rematch]] with him, which can be done once per day after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtaining the National Pokédex. In said rematch, Roark additionally uses an {{p|Aerodactyl}} and an {{p|Armaldo}}, two other Fossil Pokémon.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Fossils do not exist at all, in the game's coding or otherwise. Rather, only {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Shieldon}} can be obtained, and they can be found as rare spawns in [[space-time distortion]]s in the [[Coronet Highlands]].

===[[Generation IX]]===
Generation IX introduces no new Fossils or Fossil Pokémon, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, similar to the Generation II games, do not allow the player to obtain or revive any Fossils. The {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Shieldon}} lines are the only Fossil Pokémon present in the games, found in the wild in the [[Terarium]].

===Pokémon Quest===
[[File:Quest Fossil.png|thumb|100px|A Fossil in Pokémon Quest]]
A Fossil is an ingredient that can be used in {{OBP|cooking|Quest}} to attract wild Pokémon in [[Pokémon Quest]]. They are grey ingredients that are hard, small, and a mineral.

====Description====
{{movedesc|items}}
{{movedescentry|'''{{color2|{{orange color dark}}|Pokémon Quest|Quest}}'''|Hard and small ingredients.}}

|}

====Acquisition====
Fossil is a possible ingredient that can be obtained by completing [[Tumblecube Island|expeditions]]. As they are grey, Fossils are most commonly found in the areas [[Parched Peak]] and [[Farside Fjord]]. They can also be obtained randomly by recycling [[Power Stone]]s.

[[File:Sunkern leaf fossil.png|thumb|250px|A fossilized {{p|Sunkern}} leaf in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, some Fossil Pokémon are in fact, not extinct, but have simply been hibernating underground for millions of years, as seen in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]'', and ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''. However {{Gary}} has used research to directly revive Fossil Pokémon, as seen in the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] episode ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]''. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, where Fossils of ancient Pokémon are resurrected into the skeletons of the prehistoric using a machine that recreates the missing organs that had decomposed away from the genes extracted in the remains, this Aerodactyl was in fact completely revived from a Fossil that was fully preserved inside of an Old Amber for millions of years and thus still had the memories of its past life.

====''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''====
[[Butler]] tried to create a {{p|Groudon}} for [[Team Magma]] in a flashback ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' from a fossilized remnant, but the experiment failed and Butler was kicked out of Team Magma. In the present day, he attempted to use {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}}'s power to complete the resurrection process to prove his theory, only to end up creating [[Meta Groudon|a monster resembling Groudon]] that needed to be stopped.

===={{aniseries|AG}}====
In ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]'', [[Professor Proctor]] was shown to have used research to directly revive Fossils on [[Wales Island]], his dream being to create a wildlife park filled with Fossil Pokémon.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
[[Roark]], as he does in the {{pkmn|games}}, has a Cranidos which evolves into a {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. Roark and his team retrieve Fossils from the [[Oreburgh Mine]] and give them to the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]]. The museum's director [[Dr. Kenzo]] uses the Fossils for their Fossil revitalization program. Roark's Pokémon, as well as several other Fossil Pokémon revived by the Fossil Restorer Machine, appear in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]'', ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'', and ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''. [[Byron]], Roark's father, also has quite a collection in [[Canalave Gym|his Gym]]. This includes the Fossil Pokémon {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, and {{p|Armaldo}}, as well as a giant Claw Fossil. He also kept a {{p|Sunkern}} leaf Fossil that Roark found when he was a child.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', a {{p|Kabuto}} Fossil was first seen chasing [[Hawes]], as he claimed it to be doing, but was later seen safely placed in a display case. Hawes later explained what it was to the trio. It was later revealed that the {{p|Yamask}} in the Nacrene City Museum was using its move {{m|Psychic}} to make the Dome Fossil float and chase after Hawes after he put its mask in a display case, thinking that it was a replica Yamask mask given to him as a gift from the company that made a {{p|Cofagrigus}} replica after purchasing it from them for the museum.

[[Lenora]] gave a Plume Fossil to [[Professor Juniper]] and [[Fennel]] prior to ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]''. They successfully resurrected a female {{p|Archen}} from the Fossil using {{p|Musharna}}'s dream energy. With the help of {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Tranquill}}, Archen learned how to fly and then evolved into {{p|Archeops}}.

In ''[[BW075|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1]]'', {{TRT}} stole a Cover Fossil from [[Ferris]]. [[Dr. Zager]] revived it into a {{p|Tirtouga}} as part of a plot to lead the team to a [[Time travel|time gate]] beneath [[Twist Mountain]], but the Tirtouga subsequently escaped, evolved into {{p|Carracosta}}, and returned to the past through the time gate in [[BW076|the next episode]].

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
{{an|Kiawe}} found two Fossils in ''[[SM032|Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!]]'', during the [[Poké Ride|Stoutland Search]] treasure hunt set up for Ash and his classmates by [[Olivia]]. On the first round, he found a Skull Fossil, and on the second one, he found a Plume Fossil.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[Goh]] found an Old Amber in ''[[JN038|Restore and Renew!]]'' during a Fossil excavation at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. It was later revived into an {{TP|Goh|Aerodactyl}} and caught by him.

In ''[[JN050|A Pinch of This, a Pinch of That!]]'', Ash, Goh, and [[Chloe]] traveled to [[Galar]] to dig up Fossils in the [[Wild Area]]. With the help of [[Cara Liss]] and [[Bray Zenn]], they found four Fossils and revived them into a {{AP|Dracovish}} and an {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Arctozolt}}, which Ash and Goh, respectively, later caught.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Super Nerd PO.png|thumb|250px|Dome and Helix Fossils in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The Dome and Helix Fossils were seen briefly in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', being hogged by a {{tc|Super Nerd}} whom {{OBP|Red|Origins}} encountered on [[Mt. Moon]].

In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', Red was seen using a {{p|Kabutops}} in his battle against [[Giovanni]], presumably revived from a Dome Fossil. Since Red is mentioned to have caught all 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon (excluding {{p|Mew}}) by the time of ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', it means that he has also obtained the other Kanto Fossil Pokémon, presumably also revived from Fossils. As {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} was mentioned to have collected 148 Pokémon, it is likely that he had also collected all Kanto Fossil Pokémon.

==In the TCG==
[[File:UnidentifiedFossilAstralRadiance157.jpg|200px|thumb|The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Unidentified Fossil|157}} from the Sword & Shield Series, which can evolve into the most different species of Pokémon. While it shows the Helix, Skull, Armor, and Sail Fossils, both species related to those Fossils and species unrelated to those Fossils can evolve from Unidentified Fossil]]
Fossils are included as cards in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. They are {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, and when the Trainer card type was split into multiple subtypes in {{TCG|Black & White}}, cards depicting Fossils usually wound up as {{TCG|Item card}}s. The first of these cards was released in the {{TCG|Fossil}} expansion, befitting its theme. Their primary role is putting '''Fossil Pokémon''' into play, which normally cannot enter play without a Fossil card of some kind due to their unique mechanics. As such, Fossils are released in the expansions as the Pokémon that are revived from them.

When cards reference cards depicting Fossils, they use the phrase, "[[Item card (TCG)|Item card]] that has 'Fossil' in its name", or variations of that. Notably, this means such effects exclude [[Old Amber]] cards. However, it is more common for cards to check for exact card names than the phrase "Fossil".

Sometimes cards reference Fossil Pokémon in a similar manner, using phrases that refer to the cards that they evolve from. These include "Pokémon that evolve from an Item card that has "Fossil" in its name", "Pokémon that evolve from Unidentified Fossil", or "card that evolves from Mysterious Fossil", among others. The broadest of these, ones that only call out Fossils in general, exclude {{TCG|Aerodactyl}} that evolve from Old Amber cards. Still, cards more commonly check for the exact card name of Pokémon than for evolutionary lines like this.

{{TCG|Restored Pokémon}} is a special stage used for Fossil Pokémon in the Black & White Series and the XY Series, starting in {{TCG|Noble Victories}}. They have unique mechanics separate from the normal way Fossil Pokémon are depicted. However, this change was only implemented temporarily. The Sun & Moon Series reverted back to the normal way Fossil Pokémon are depicted, starting in {{TCG|Ultra Prism}} The period where Fossil Pokémon had the this stage was able to include Aerodactyl when referring to Fossil Pokémon broadly by checking for stage.

===Fossil Trainer card===
Most cards depicting Fossils are '''Fossil Trainer cards''', cards which start as Trainer/Item cards while not in play, but then are played as {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}. The name has not changed since the introduction of the Item subtype. They are non-{{TCG|Pokémon}} cards printed with {{TCG|HP}} values, and use that HP value while in play. While in play, they have an {{TCG|Energy type}} of {{TCG|Colorless}}. They were introduced in the {{TCG|Fossil}} expansion. They are usually bad Pokémon though, as they do not have {{TCG|attack}}s and are unable to retreat (lacking a {{TCG|retreat cost}} entirely). Note that the lack of attacks does not preclude them being granted access to attacks, an uncommon but entirely possible occurrence due to {{TCG|Technical Machine card}}s. Additionally, since they are not Pokémon while not in play, cards that search for Pokémon from a {{TCG|deck}} cannot retrieve a Fossil Trainer card. Searches for Trainer or Item cards do work, but those effects are less common and weaker than Pokémon search.

The rules for if a Fossil Trainer card can be put into play while setting up to play has varied as the rules have changed overtime:
*The original Fossil FAQ allowed it, only for a subsequent rule to disallow it on the basis of the card being a Trainer while it is in a hand.<ref>[https://compendium.pokegym.net/compendium.html Compendium]</ref>
*In the EX Series starting from {{TCG|EX Sandstorm}}, this was changed to fully allow putting Fossil Trainer cards into play while setting up to play.<ref name="Compendium EX">[https://compendium.pokegym.net/compendium-ex.html Compendium EX]</ref>
*Starting with {{TCG|Ultra Prism}} in the Sun & Moon Series, this was fully repealed. There is no longer a window to play Fossil Trainer cards without them being a Trainer card.<ref>Ultra Prism rulebook</ref>

When players were allowed to do this, it was because the Fossil Trainer card functionally acted as a Basic Pokémon while setting up to play. This means that players were not allowed to take a mulligan when they had a hand that only has Fossil Trainer cards. Even with this in mind, Fossil Trainer cards are not "Basic Pokémon" and decks require a minimum of one Basic Pokémon in them to be legal for play. Also note that this allowance was never afforded to any of the other Trainer cards that are played as Pokémon.<ref name="Compendium EX"/>.

When this permission was allowed, there is an extra incongruity to remember exclusive to the Diamond and Pearl Series and the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series. In those rules, Trainer cards could not be played on the first turn of the player going first, including Fossil Trainer cards that were allowed to be put into play before the first turn of the game.<ref name="Compendium EX"/>

Fossil Trainer cards have some upsides. A player is allowed to discard a Fossil Trainer card from play at any time, which is not considered Knocking Out a Pokémon. Also, most but not all Fossil Trainer cards have an immunity to {{TCG|Special Condition}}s. Fossil Trainer Cards can have {{TCG|Poké-Body|Poké-Bodies}} or {{TCG|Ability|Abilties}} as well. Lacking a Retreat Cost also offers an interesting advantage, as a null Retreat Cost cannot be increased.<ref name="Compendium EX"/>

[[File:KabutoTeamUp77.jpg|200px|thumb|left|{{TCG ID|Team Up|Kabuto|77}}, a Fossil Pokémon that evolves from Unidentified Fossil. While it shows the art of a Unidentified Fossil from Sun & Moon, it can still evolve from the newer Sword & Shield printing. Remember, only the name matters.]]

Whether or not [[fainting|Knocking Out]] a Fossil Trainer card allows the opponent to take a {{TCG|Prize card}} varies by the card, with cards of the EX Series or older not providing Prize cards while cards of the Diamond and Pearl Series or newer providing Prize cards equivalent to normal Pokémon cards.

The primary purpose of a Fossil Trainer card is that they can [[evolve]] into Fossil Pokémon. Even the lowest form of a Fossil Pokémon's evolution chain is a {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}}, so those cards have to enter play by evolving from a Fossil Trainer card. The Fossil Trainer card that a Fossil Pokémon evolves from varies by which set the Fossil Pokémon is in, as new Fossil Trainer cards are released in new expansions. In some cases, multiple different Evolution chains start from a singular Fossil Trainer card. In other cases, each evolution chain has a dedicated Fossil Trainer card, having the name of the Fossil the species is revived from.

The first Fossil Trainer card was {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}}, which could be evolved into any of the three Generation I Fossil Pokémon: {{TCG|Omanyte}}, {{TCG|Kabuto}}, and {{TCG|Aerodactyl}}. It has only 10 HP, lower than even {{TCG|Magikarp}}. It does match the HP of {{TCG|Clefairy Doll}}, another Trainer card played as a Pokémon. This card continued to see printings into the EX Series, although {{TCG|EX Legend Maker}} increased the HP Mysterious Fossil has to 50. It does not allow opponents to take Prize cards when it is Knocked Out. It also has the customary immunity to Special Conditions.

[[File:ArmorFossilMysteriousTreasures116.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Armor Fossil|116}}, an example of a Fossil Trainer card that only evolves into a specific species of Pokémon. It has a Poké-Body, which can prevent some of the damage it would take so that it is easier to evolve it.]]

The EX Series indroduced two new Fossil Pokémon, {{TCG|Lileep}} and {{TCG|Anorith}}. These species received dedicated Fossil Trainer cards for their line starting with the {{TCG|EX Sandstorm}} expansion: the {{TCG|Root Fossil}} and the {{TCG|Claw Fossil}}, respectively. These cards included beneficial Poké-Bodies, making these cards slightly stronger. They have 40 HP. Again, these cards do not allow opponents to take Prize cards when they are Knocked Out, and they cannot be affected by Special Conditions. This would herald the end of shared Fossil Trainer cards for a while, as the Diamond and Pearl Series followed this series lead and introduced more individual Fossil cards.

The Diamond & Pearl Series added the {{TCG|Skull Fossil|Skull}} and {{TCG|Armor Fossil|Armor}} Fossil cards, for the new species of {{TCG|Cranidos}} and {{TCG|Shieldon}}. It then went the extra mile and added individual {{TCG|Dome Fossil}}, {{TCG|Helix Fossil}}, and {{TCG|Old Amber}} cards for its printings of Kabuto, Omanyte, and Aerodactyl. All of these cards included included Poké-Bodies, and were printed with 50 HP. The Root and Claw Fossil cards were also reprinted, keeping their older 40 HP. However, starting with {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}}, the expansion which added the Skull and Armor Fossils, Knocking Out a Fossil Trainer card is equivalent to Knocking Out a Pokémon. Thus opponent take a Prize card after doing so. This change even applied to the Root and Claw Fossil reprints, and continues to be true today. However, these cards still cannot be affected by Special Conditions.

[[File:RareFossilDarknessAblaze167.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The {{TCG ID|Darkness Ablaze|Rare Fossil|167}}, which existed concurrently with Unidentified Fossil. It shows the [[Fossilized Bird]], [[Fossilized Fish|Fish]], [[Fossilized Drake|Drake]], and [[Fossilized Dino|Dino]], the fossils related to the species it evolves into.]]

No Fossil Trainer cards would be printed for nine years, as their last printing was in {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus}}. Fossils and Fossil Pokémon skipped the HeartGold & SoulSilver series wholesale, and the Black & White Series and XY Series experimented with a different set of mechanics for putting Fossil Pokémon into play.

{{TCG|Ultra Prism}}, of the Sun & Moon Series, saw the return of a shared Trainer card which could evolve into any Fossil Pokémon released during the Sun & Moon Series. The card is {{TCG|Unidentified Fossil}}, and this card broke the long standing tradition of being unable to be affected by {{TCG|Special Condition}}s. It has 60 HP, indicating a gradual increase with each series. It was also printed in the Sword & Shield Series, primarily in later sets, continuing to evolve into most of the Fossil Pokémon that saw print. This included the Fossil Pokémon of Generations V and VI, {{TCG|Archen}}, {{TCG|Tirtouga}}, {{TCG|Tyrunt}}, and {{TCG|Amaura}} which previously did not evolve from Fossil Trainer cards. By this point, {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}s had been phased out in favor of Abilities. However, Unidentified Fossil does not have an Ability in lieu of the older Poké-Body.

Earlier in the Sword and Shield Series, {{TCG|Darkness Ablaze}} included {{TCG|Rare Fossil}}. This card exclusively evolves into the Generation VIII Fossil Pokémon: {{TCG|Dracozolt}}, {{TCG|Arctozolt}}, {{TCG|Dracovish}}, and {{TCG|Arctovish}}. Those Pokémon do not evolve from Unidentified Fossil. Rare Fossil does include the Special Condition immunity, and has 10 more HP compared to the concurrent Unidentified Fossil for a total of 70 HP

====Antique Fossils====
[[File:OldOldAmber156PokémonCard151.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The {{TCG ID|151|Antique Old Amber|154}} is one of the Antique Fossils. Note the name. "Antique Old Amber" does not say "Fossil" anywhere in it, so some cards do not recognize it as a Fossil. Also note that it specifically evolves into Aerodactyl and Aerodactyl ex, which is not how Fossil Trainer cards are normally templated]]
During the Scarlet & Violet Series, the {{TCG|151}} expansion introduced three brand new cards for the Generation I Fossil Pokémon, the {{TCG|Antique Helix Fossil}}, {{TCG|Antique Dome Fossil}}, and {{TCG|Antique Old Amber}}. They only evolve into the corresponding species, bringing back that set of rules after not appearing since Arceus. The rulebook for the set notes them as being '''Antique Fossils'''. Each of these cards has the word "Antique" before the name of the Fossil, differentiating them from the older cards. The word "Antique" is printed in smaller font then normal. These cards also have 60 HP. Once again, these cards have the Special Condition immunity, and also have a helpful {{TCG|Ability}} for the first time on a Fossil Trainer card. They have unique templating that specifies the exact Pokémon they evolve into, which cards normally do not have.

===Other cards depicting Fossils===
Some expansions have other cards that depict Fossils, but are not Fossil Trainer cards. These cards generally offer an alternative means of putting Fossil Pokémon into play.

[[File:BuriedFossilSkyridge47.jpg|200px|thumb|left|{{TCG ID|Skyridge|Buried Fossil|47}}, a Pokémon card, which is also a Fossil, but not a Fossil Trainer card. It has weird templating, but in short it is a Mysterious Fossil that is always a Pokémon]]

The first of these was {{TCG|Fossil Egg}} from {{TCG|Neo Discovery}}, which is a {{TCG|Trainer card}} that puts any card that evolves from Mysterious Fossil into play from either the deck or the hand, but only on a successful coin flip. {{TCG|Buried Fossil}} from {{TCG|Skyridge}} is a {{ct|Colorless}} Pokémon, one of very few Pokémon cards that does not depict a Pokémon species. It has unique templating that allows it to evolve into any card that evolves from Mysterious Fossil. Unlike the Fossil Trainer cards, it can retreat, and includes a helpful {{TCG|Poké-Power}}. It has 30 {{TCG|HP}}. It also keeps the immunity to Special Conditions from the Fossil Trainer cards, but cannot be freely discarded from play. Last in this odd group is {{TCG|Holon Fossil}} from {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}. It is a Trainer card that updates Fossil Egg. It still uses a coin flip, but on Heads it puts a Fossil Pokémon from one's deck into play, and on Tails it puts a Fossil Pokémon from one's hand into play. The Fossil Pokémon it works with are specified by name, so it only includes the ones from Generation III and older.

[[File:CoverFossilNobleVictories90.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Cover Fossil|90}}, which is a fossil Item card but not a Fossil Trainer card. Its mechanics are used by other Fossils in the Black & White Series and the XY Series]]

The Black & White Series changed how Fossil Pokemon enter play, and therefore how Fossil cards work. The base species of Fossil Pokémon have a different {{TCG|stage}} than normal: {{TCG|Restored Pokémon}}. This stage is a non-Basic, unevolved Pokémon stage, so they are not Evolution cards. However, they still cannot be put into play from a player's hand. Instead, each Restored Pokémon has a matching fossil Item card, which is a card that depicts the fossil the species is restored from in the video games. These cards all have the same effect, looking at the bottom 7 cards of a deck. If a Pokémon card associated with the Fossil is one of those cards, that Pokémon can be into play. This is the primary way for Restored Pokémon to enter play. For example, {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Archen|66}} can only be put into play via the effect of {{TCG|Plume Fossil}}, one of this group of Fossil cards. Notably, this group of cards only checks for a Pokémon's name, not its stage. This means that these cards can put older or newer non-Restored Pokémon into play as well.

[[File:TirtougaNobleVictories25.jpg|200px|thumb|left|{{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Tirtouga|25}}, a Fossil Pokémon with the stage Restored. It does not evolve from any card, and is put into play by using Cover Fossil]]

{{TCG|Noble Victories}} introduced this mechanic, along with the {{TCG|Cover Fossil|Cover}} and {{TCG|Plume Fossil|Plume}} Fossils for {{TCG|Tirtouga}} and {{TCG|Archen}}. The cards were reprinted in {{TCG|Plasma Blast}} along with the new {{TCG|Root Fossil Lileep}}. This card incorporates {{TCG|Lileep}} into the Restored Pokémon mechanics, using the name of the Pokémon as a suffix to avoid conflicting with the older Fossil Trainer card named {{TCG|Root Fossil}}. It also marked the first time one of the Fossil Pokémon was printed without the others that are part of the same Generation.

The XY Series continued to use Restored Pokémon and these Fossil mechanics, with the {{TCG|Jaw Fossil|Jaw}}, and {{TCG|Sail Fossil|Sail}} Fossil cards of {{TCG|Furious Fists}} working with {{TCG|Tyrunt}}, and {{TCG|Amaura}}. {{TCG|Fates Collide}} brought back the Generation I Fossil Pokémon, with {{TCG|Dome Fossil Kabuto}}, {{TCG|Helix Fossil Omanyte}}, and {{TCG|Old Amber Aerodactyl}} cards. Lastly, {{TCG|Steam Siege}} included a {{TCG|Claw Fossil Anorith}} to work with {{TCG|Anorith}} and an {{TCG|Armor Fossil Shieldon}} to do the same for {{TCG|Shieldon}}. No cards for the [[Skull Fossil]] were released to work with the Restored Pokémon mechanics, and the Sun & Moon Series returned to the traditional Fossil Trainer card mechanics.

Some cards have Fossils in their art, especially ones that are related to cards depicting Fossils, Fossil Trainer cards, or Fossil Pokémon.

The following is a list of these Fossil cards, excluding the ones tied to {{TCG|Restored Pokémon}}. Those are found on the articles of the Fossils they depict, as well as on the {{TCG|Restored Pokémon}} article. Cameos of Fossils are also excluded.

==Trivia==
* The Fossil Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] are the only {{type|Rock}} Pokémon introduced in said generation to not also have the {{t|Ground}} [[type]].
* The Fossil Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] are the only ones that are not Rock-type, the only ones that are [[gender unknown]], and the only ones that are in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]].
* Some Fossil Pokémon have unique attributes:
** {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Rampardos}} are the only ones to not be dual-type.
** {{p|Tirtouga}} and {{p|Carracosta}} are the only ones to have Rock as their secondary type.
** {{p|Archen}} and {{p|Archeops}} are the only ones without a [[Hidden Ability]].
** {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only one capable of undergoing [[Mega Evolution]].
* All Fossil Pokémon are capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Ancient Power}} by [[level]]ing up.
* Although the [[Fossilized Fish]] offers the "-vish" head for {{p|Dracovish}} and {{p|Arctovish}}, the item itself looks more like the "Draco-" body, while the [[Fossilized Drake]] looks like the "-vish" head but instead offers the "Draco-" body for {{p|Dracozolt}} and Dracovish. This is simply the result of mistakenly sorted item sprites.
* {{p|Relicanth}} has some similarities to Fossil Pokémon, being an ancient Rock-type Pokémon that is often considered a {{wp|living fossil}}, as it has survived extinction for a hundred million years. Since [[Generation II]], various Pokédex entries for {{p|Kabuto}} have suggested that it too may be a living fossil. However, since Relicanth is never revived from a Fossil, it is not included in the Fossil Pokémon group.
* While it cannot be revived from a Fossil, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Genesect}} is known to have been created by [[Team Plasma]] by reviving a prehistoric Pokémon and upgrading it by attaching a cannon to its back.
** Similarly, in ''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie]]'', [[M22|its remake]], and [[Pokémon Adventures]], the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Mew}} had a fossilized eyebrow from which its genetic material was used by [[Team Rocket]] to create {{p|Mewtwo}}. Mew's introduction to the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the Japanese version of the {{TCG|Fossil}} Expansion may be a reference to this. However, in the games, no mention of this fossil is made, and the journal entries in the [[Pokémon Mansion]] on [[Cinnabar Island]] suggest that a living Mew was captured and "gave birth" to the clone Mewtwo.
* Fossil Pokémon are featured in a Japan-only nationwide traveling exhibition, [[Pokémon Fossil Museum]]. Visitors can learn about the real-life prehistoric animals that inspired the designs of Fossil Pokémon and compare them, and view conceptual artwork depicting the skeletal anatomy of certain Fossil Pokémon, as well as real life replicas of said skeletons.<ref>Official Pokémon Fossil Museum site [https://www.kahaku.go.jp/pokemon/index_en.html (English)], [https://www.kahaku.go.jp/pokemon/ (Japanese)]</ref>
* Oddly, the rulebook for {{TCG|151}} has an appendix section for the "Antique Fossils", which is not included in the rulebooks for later sets.

'''Staryu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトデマン''' ''Hitodeman'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Starmie}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].

==Biology==
Staryu is a golden-brown, {{wp|echinoderm}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with five appendages. These appendages surround an exterior organ called the core. The core resembles a golden metal casing with a red gem in the center, which is held in place by a golden ring looped around Staryu's lower left point. If any of Staryu's appendages are lost or eaten by predators like {{p|Lumineon}}, it is unharmed and can grow them back with ease provided the core is still intact.

When the sun goes down, Staryu's core glows its brightest. Many Staryu will float from the seafloor to the surface and align themselves with stars of the night sky as their core flickers, displaying a connection with the celestial bodies of space. In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', it is shown that if Staryu becomes weak, its core will grow faint and flash slowly. During the ends of summer, groups of Staryu tend to gather while lighting up in a steady rhythm. Staryu can be found at the very bottom of the ocean on the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|seafloors}}. There are times, however, when Staryu finds itself in rivers that lead into the ocean as seen in [[Pokémon Snap]]. In [[Generation III]], {{m|Camouflage}} was its [[signature move]].

In the [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], and the original Japanese version of the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Staryu is classified as {{wp|hermaphrodite|hermaphroditic}}.

===Evolution===
Staryu evolves into {{p|Starmie}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Staryu will target one of the opponents, spin towards them, and shoot {{m|Swift}}. Its attack is rapid-fire, but it can easily be escaped from by Directional Influence; the player can still move around while getting hit by Swift. In Ultimate, it appears as a {{sw|Spirit}}.

====Melee trophy information====
''These starshape Pokémon that evolve into Starmie are found in large numbers at the seashore. At night, Staryu's red center glows and blinks on and off. It's said that as long as its red center remains, it can regrow its limbs. Whether it's related to {{p|Cleffa}}, another Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped appearance, is unknown.''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Star Shape Pokémon. It gathers in groups and flashes the red jewel in the center of its body in time to the twinkling of the stars in the night sky. If it loses appendages, it can regenerate them right away. It can also use {{m|Camouflage}}, which allows it to change its type to match the surrounding terrain. If a Water Stone is used on it, evolves into Starmie."''
{{-}}

====3DS/Wii U Trophy information====
[[File:Staryu 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Staryu trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
'''NA''': ''This Water-type Pokémon, Staryu, greatly resembles a star. Exposing one to a Water Stone causes it to evolve into Starmie. Another star-shaped Pokémon, Cleffa, exists, but the two don't look all that similar. In Smash Bros., Staryu will attack foes with Swift. Anyone hit will be seeing stars! ''

'''PAL''': ''This Water-type Pokémon evolves into Starmie when you use a Water Stone. Its star shape makes it rather cute, but that doesn't mean Staryu's not a threat. Its Swift attack will pummel fighters with a flurry of stars. If you notice Staryu's aiming at you, quickly move up or down to get out of the line of fire. ''
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, Staryu is the only Pokémon with the [[Field Move]] {{m|Flash}}.
** Once Staryu serves its purpose with Flash, it cannot be captured again, except during the {{p|Kyogre}} mission.
* Staryu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one is able to collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Staryu shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Cleffa}}. They are both known as the Star Shape Pokémon.
* Staryu was programmed to learn Egg moves in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, but these moves were unobtainable because both Staryu and Starmie are [[gender unknown]] and so could only breed with {{p|Ditto}}. These moves were removed in {{v2|Crystal}}.
* Staryu, Starmie, and {{p|Mew}} are the only Pokémon species that are [[gender unknown]] but can legitimately learn {{m|Attract}} in [[Generation II]]. This move has no effect when used by these Pokémon.
* Staryu may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Shellder}}. Both are Water-types in the {{OBP|Water 3|Egg Group}} [[Egg Group]], both evolve with a Water Stone, and both gain a second type upon evolution. Cloyster is seen as a slow defensive Pokémon, while Starmie is seen as a fast attacking Pokémon.
** They also have a chance of holding [[valuable item]]s, [[Stardust]]/[[Star Piece]] and {{i|Pearl}}/[[Big Pearl]], respectively. Staryu is exclusive to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|X and Y|X}}, while Shellder is exclusive to FireRed and Y, with both Pokémon found by fishing in the same locations in their respective versions.
**Starfishes and oysters are natural enemies, as starfishes prey on oysters.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]] erroneously refers to Staryu as a male, despite it being a Pokémon species that is [[gender unknown]].

===Origin===
Staryu seems to be based on a stylized {{wp|starfish}} such as the {{wp|common starfish}}, or the {{wp|Fromia monilis|necklace starfish}} with its vivid red center surrounded by bright plates. Like Staryu, many real starfish have the ability to {{wp|regeneration (biology)|regenerate}} lost body parts. Given its ties to outer space and ability to emit light, it may also be based on literal {{wp|stars}} and {{wp|meteors}}. It is also reminiscent of ornate {{wp|jewelry}}, with its central core resembling a polished {{wp|cabochon}} gem mounted inside a golden {{wp|prong setting}}. The standard color of its gem resembles a {{wp|ruby}}, while its {{Shiny}} color resembles a {{wp|sapphire}}. Its tendency to rapidly spin its body is reminiscent of {{wp|shuriken}} and {{wp|propellers}}.

Staryu's [[gender unknown]] designation may be based on {{wp|hermaphrodite|hermaphroditism}}, observed in some real-life starfish species. In the [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] and the original Japanese version of the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Staryu is classified as hermaphroditic.

Additionally, Staryu's ties to outer space, its Japanese name, its ability to learn various beam attacks, and the gem in its middle acting like a heart may all be a reference to the {{wp|Ultraman}} series, where Ultra Warriors have similar gems on their chests, which are called Color Timers, that start flashing when they are weak, just like Staryu's gem as shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''. Staryu's vocal effects in the anime also bring to mind the vocal effects that most Shōwa-era Ultra Warriors uses, most notably the original Ultraman.

====Name origin====
Staryu may be a combination of ''star'' and ''you'' (in opposition to the ''me'' in {{p|Starmie}}).

Hitodeman may be a combination of 海星 ''hitode'' (starfish) and ''man'' (possibly in reference to {{wp|Ultraman}}).

Mochi Mayhem

2024-04-08T02:17:03Z

Jsphmagana: /* Trivia */

[[File:Mochi Mayhem Title Card.png|thumb|300px|The opening title card of Mochi Mayhem]]
'''Mochi Mayhem''' (Japanese: '''キビキビパニック''' ''Kibi-Kibi Panic'') is the epilogue of [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. It was present in the game since the release of [[The Indigo Disk]], but was initially inaccessible. It was officially announced on December 20, 2023<ref>https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1737473659206271074?t=jISQi-Rd2YGn1dOaFFqkJw&s=08</ref> and made available on January 11, 2024 via an indefinite [[List of other event distributions (Generation IX)#Mythical Pecha Berry|event distribution]]. It is only accessible after the player has participated in the [[Academy Ace Tournament]] at least once and completed the plot of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero by catching {{p|Terapagos}}, though the [[Mystery Gift]] may be claimed at any time.

It begins when the player interacts with the decoration on the desk of {{DL|Mossui Town|Peachy's}} in [[Mossui Town]] in [[Kitakami]] with the [[Mythical Pecha Berry]] in their [[Bag]].

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
After interacting with a decoration at {{DL|Mossui Town|Peachy's}}, the {{player}} receives a phone call from [[Arven]], asking if he can visit the player at [[Player's house|their house]] at [[Cabo Poco]]. During the conversation, the decoration disappears from behind the player's back. Upon returning home, the player meets Arven, along with [[Nemona]] and [[Penny]], who had overheard his phone call and insisted on coming along. The player's {{pal|Mom}} gives the player a letter from [[Kieran]], informing them that he's taking a break from [[Blueberry Academy]] and is currently residing at his home in [[Mossui Town]]. The letter also includes tickets for the player and their friends, who are all feeling happy about the idea of getting to visit [[Kitakami]], so they depart there immediately.

In Mossui Town, Nemona, having learned that Kieran used to be the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Blueberry Academy, is quick to challenge him to a {{pkmn|battle}}, and defeats him soundly before the player even has a chance to come see their match. Just then, [[Carmine]] shows up, performing a weird dance and repeating the word "mochi" over and over. Kieran explains that she's been acting like this ever since he sent his letter to the player. He suspects that his sister's odd behavior might have something to do with a curse that's rumored to be going around, but the group encourages him to stay positive. The group retreats to the Community Center for the night, but while they search for a hidden TV remote, Nemona suddenly disappears. When the player and Kieran go look for her, they find more villagers acting in the same strange way as Carmine. Spotting Nemona, they follow her to [[Kitakami Hall]], where they witness Kieran's grandfather [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]] falling victim to the strange behavior as well after eating some suspicious mochi offered by his already-possessed wife, [[Yukito and Hideko|Hideko]].

After defeating Yukito and Hideko, the player receives a phone call from Arven and Penny, who have been holding out at Peachy's. When the player and Kieran return to Mossui Town, they spot a strange Pokémon, who also possesses Arven and Penny by firing pieces of mochi directly into their mouths. The player and Kieran avoid the mochi and face their possessed friends in a [[Multi Battle]]. Afterwards, they pursue the mysterious Pokémon to [[Loyalty Plaza]], where they also find Nemona, who has also been possessed. With a horde of possessed villagers approaching them, Kieran holds them off while the player battles Nemona. Once she has been defeated, the player challenges the mysterious Pokémon, identified as the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Pecharunt}}, defeating and {{pkmn2|Caught|catching}} it. This releases everyone from Pecharunt's control, with only vague memories of what they did while possessed. After spending some more peaceful time in Kitakami, the player and their friends return to [[Paldea]], while Kieran and Carmine return to Blueberry Academy.

==Trivia==
{{Bad image|section|Needs higher resolution, direct feed screenshot of Ogerpon}}
[[File:Ogerpon VS Pecharunt Reaction.png|thumb|250px|Ogerpon's reaction to seeing Pecharunt]]
* Mochi Mayhem is the only occasion in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} in which the player has a [[Multi Battle]] against two separate opponents.
* Although it is never shown to the player in-game, all of the Pokémon owned by Aya, Shige, Yukito, and Hideko are programmed to have {{t|Poison}} as their {{Tera|Tera Type}}, likely as a reference to the effects of Pecharunt's Binding Mochi.
* In the Japanese version, the possessed shout out "Kibi kibi!" instead, referring to {{wp|Kibi dango (millet dumpling)}} from the folktale of {{wp|Momotarō}}.
* If the player uses {{ga|Ogerpon}} in the battle against Pecharunt, Ogerpon will react with anger, yelling out "GRAH! Pon PON!!!" at it, likely for what it did to Ogerpon and her companion in the past.
* If the player uses a member of the [[Loyal Three]]; {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}} or {{p|Fezandipiti}}, in the battle against Pecharunt, Pecharunt will react with shock and anger, yelling out "Pechaaa! Chraaahhh!" at it, likely for the betrayal as Pecharunt's retainer.
** Pecharunt will repeat this reaction every time a member of the Loyal Three is sent out for the first time by the player.
*The day that Mochi Mayhem was made publicly accessible is the same day as the annual Japanese tradition of ''mochitsuki'' (Japanese: '''餅つき''').<ref name=Mochitsuki>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231220182340/https://asahiimports.com/2014/01/04/mochitsuki-a-japanese-new-years-tradition/ Article on the history of Mochitsuki.]</ref>
* Mochi Mayhem is the only part of the [[Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] to be unlocked through a [[Mystery Gift]] item.
* Mochi Mayhem shares a number of similarities to the {{wp|dancing plague of 1518}}. They both:
** Involve a mass outbreak of spontaneous, uncontrollable dancing.
** Were started by a single woman, who were afflicted much earlier than anyone else.
** Were caused by food poisoning (Binding Mochi in the case of Mochi Mayhem, and theorized to be {{wp|ergot}} in the case of the dancing plague).
* During the events of the DLC, the Pokémon Center attendant outside the Community Center remains unpossessed and has dialogue regarding the "curse".
* In the background when the title card for Mochi Mayhem is playing, one can see a moving shadow that travels from the right to the left. This is the newly revived Pecharunt's shadow.

'''Nidoran♀''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドラン♀''' ''Nidoran♀'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Nidorina}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Nidoqueen}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].

It is related to the {{p|Nidoran♂}} line, and when bred with either one of them, it can produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s that contain either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂. However, it is the only one of its line that can breed as its evolutions are in the {{egg3|No Eggs Discovered}}.

==Biology==
Nidoran♀ is a small, quadrupedal, {{wp|mammalian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has large, spiny ears; oversized front teeth; red eyes; and a pair of whiskers on each cheek. It is light blue with several darker blue spots. There are two white claws on each of its paws. Its back is covered with small toxic spines, and it has a small forehead horn.

The poisons secreted by the spines and horn are extremely potent, and even a scratch from its horn or a drop of poison from its barbs can be deadly. However, this docile Pokémon only uses its poison when it feels threatened. Nidoran♀ is more sensitive to smell than {{p|Nidoran♂}}. It can use its whiskers to check the wind while either searching for berries or to avoid predators. Nidoran♀ can use its incisor teeth for crushing the berries it forages for. Nidoran♀ lives in open spaces, such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}. Nidoran♀ is a female-only species.

===Evolution===
Nidoran♀ evolves into {{p|Nidorina}}, which evolves into {{p|Nidoqueen}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
[[File:Baby Nidoran Battle Pencils.jpg|200px|thumb|Baby Nidoran]]
* Nidoran was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to feature [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], or even any indication of [[gender]] at all.
* Despite the addition of genders to most Pokémon starting in [[Generation II]], the two variations of Nidoran remained separate species, rather than a singular species that splits down different evolution paths based on gender.
** An {{pkmn|Egg}} laid by a Nidoran♀ does, however, have a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂, while an Egg laid by a Nidoran♂ with a {{p|Ditto}} has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♀.
* Nidoran♀ is the only Pokémon that loses the ability to breed upon evolution.
* Nidoran♀'s {{pkmn2|Shiny|alternate coloration}} is similar to {{p|Nidoran♂}}'s normal coloration, and vice versa for Nidoran♂.
* Nidoran♀ shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Nidorino}}, {{p|Poipole}}, and {{p|Naganadel}}. They are all known as the Poison Pin Pokémon.
* Due to the fact that its gender, ♀, is included in its name, checking Nidoran♀'s summary from [[Generation II]] onward will display as if it were gender unknown if it does not have a nickname. If its nickname is anything other than "Nidoran♀", its gender will appear as normal.

===Origin===
Nidoran♀ appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|rabbit}}s and {{wp|porcupine}}s, with aspects of {{wp|venomous mammal}}s. Anatomically, however, they resemble {{wp|hyrax}}es – small, {{wp|rodent}}-like mammals that are genetically more closely related to much larger mammals like {{wp|elephant}}s and {{wp|manatee}}s featuring thickset bodies with tough hides (similar to Nidorina and Nidoqueen). It may also reference the mythical {{wp|Moon rabbit}} due to its rabbit like appearance and the fact that it reaches its final evolved form using a [[Moon Stone]]. The coloration of Nidoran and its evolutions may be a reference to the {{wp|gendered associations of pink and blue}} in previous centuries.

====Name origin====
Nidoran♀ may be derived from ''needle'' with ♀ as an indication of its female gender. It may also involve 二度 ''nido'' (twice). It may be derived from ''nidor'', a strong, unpleasant smell.

'''Nidoran♂''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドラン♂''' ''Nidoran♂'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Nidorino}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Nidoking}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].

It is related to {{p|Nidoran♀}}, serving as its male counterpart. When [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] with {{p|Ditto}} as of [[Generation V]], it can produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s that contain either Nidoran♂ or Nidoran♀.

==Biology==
Nidoran♂ is a small, quadrupedal, {{wp|mammalian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is pinkish purple with darker patches. It has large, spiny ears with teal insides, oversized front teeth, and red eyes. Its back is covered with three lines of large spines that can release potent poisons if threatened. The center line of spines is taller than the other two. The size of the long, pointed horn on its forehead is indicative of the strength of its venom. Nidoran♂ is a male-only species.

Nidoran♂ constantly listens for the sounds of approaching enemies with its large ears. Said ears have unique muscles that allow them to be moved in any direction, and even the slightest sound does not escape Nidoran♂'s notice. In order to listen to distant locations, it flaps its ears like wings. When angry, it extends its toxic spikes and charges, stabbing with its horn to inject poison. Nidoran♂ is brave, and will risk its own life to protect {{p|Nidoran♀}}. Nidoran♂ lives in open spaces, such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}.

===Evolution===
Nidoran♂ evolves into {{p|Nidorino}}, which evolves into {{p|Nidoking}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
[[File:Baby Nidoran Battle Pencils.jpg|200px|thumb|Baby Nidoran]]
* Nidoran was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to feature [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], or even any indication of [[gender]] at all.
* Despite the addition of genders in all Pokémon starting in [[Generation II]], the two variations of Nidoran remained separate species, rather than a singular species that splits down different evolution paths based on gender.
** When an {{pkmn|Egg}} is produced from Nidoran and Ditto parents, the gender ratio of the Egg favors the gender of the non-Ditto parent by an unknown margin.
** A Nidoran♀ {{pkmn|Egg}} has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂ when bred with a non-Nidoran♂ compatible father.
* Nidoran♂'s {{Shiny}} color scheme is similar to {{p|Nidoran♀}}'s normal coloration. The same goes for Nidoran♀ .
* Nidoran♂ shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Nidorino}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Poipole}}, and {{p|Naganadel}}. They are all known as the Poison Pin Pokémon.
* Due to the fact that its gender, ♂, is included in its name, checking Nidoran♂'s summary from [[Generation II]] onward will display as if it were gender unknown if it does not have a nickname. If its nickname is anything other than "Nidoran♂", its gender will appear as normal.
* Nidoran♂ is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 273.

===Origin===
Nidoran♂ appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|rabbit}}s and {{wp|porcupine}}s, with aspects of {{wp|venomous mammal}}s. However, anatomically they resemble {{wp|hyrax}}es – small, {{wp|rodent}}-like mammals that are genetically more closely related to much larger mammals like {{wp|elephant}}s and {{wp|manatee}}s featuring thickset bodies with tough hides (similar to Nidorino and Nidoking). It may also reference the mythical {{wp|Moon rabbit}} due to its rabbit like appearance and the fact that it reaches its final evolved form using a [[Moon Stone]]. The coloration of Nidoran and its evolutions may be a reference to the {{wp|gendered associations of pink and blue}} in previous centuries.

====Name origin====
Nidoran♂ may be derived from ''needle'' with ♂ as an indication of its male gender. It may also involve 二度 ''nido'' (twice). It may be derived from ''nidor'', a pungent and unpleasant odor.

'''Espeon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エーフィ''' ''Eifie'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It evolves from {{p|Eevee}} when [[friendship evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] during the [[time|day]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

It is one of Eevee's [[Eeveelution|final forms]], the others being {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Sylveon}}.

Espeon is the [[starter Pokémon]] of {{g|Colosseum}} alongside Umbreon.

==Biology==
Espeon is a quadrupedal, {{wp|mammal}}ian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with slender legs and dainty paws. It is covered in fine, lilac fur. Its ears are large, and it has purple eyes with white pupils. There are tufts of fur near its eyes, and a small, red gem embedded in its forehead. It also has a thin, forked tail.

Espeon's velvety fur is so sensitive that it can sense minuscule shifts in the air, allowing it to predict the weather and its enemies' thoughts and movements. By doing so, the tip of its tail quivers. The gem on Espeon's forehead glows when it unleashes psychic energy from the gem and darkens when all of the built-up energy has been exhausted. Espeon builds up its psychic power by bathing in the sunlight. As such, it does not handle battles at night well. Espeon shows extreme loyalty to any {{pkmn|Trainer}} that it considers worthy, even being said to have awakened its psychic powers from its desire to protect its Trainer; some sources, however, theorize that its powers were born from its need to keep itself safe.

This Pokémon is rare [[Wild Pokémon|in the wild]], instead being more commonly found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}, under the ownership of other Trainers. In [[Generation II]], {{m|Morning Sun}} was its [[signature move]].

===Evolution===
Espeon evolves from {{p|Eevee}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

===Evolution data===
Espeon evolves from {{p|Eevee}} when [[friendship evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] (220 before [[Generation VIII]] or 160 since) during the [[time|day]], except in areas with a [[Moss Rock]] or [[Ice Rock]], or if the [[Methods of evolution|evolutionary conditions]] for it to evolve into {{p|Sylveon}} have also been met. Eevee will also never evolve into Espeon in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, due to the absence of a [[time|day-night cycle]], or in {{LGPE}}, as Espeon is not present in those games. In {{Pokémon XD}} only, Eevee will evolve if the player has a [[Sun Shard]] in their [[Bag]].

==Trivia==
* Due to the absence of a [[time|day-night cycle]] in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, in order for an Espeon or {{p|Umbreon}} to be obtained and added to the [[Pokédex]] in those games, an {{p|Eevee}} must be traded to {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, evolved there, and then traded back, or else traded from {{g|Colosseum}} or {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}.
* Espeon shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Sunflora}} and {{p|Volcarona}}. They are all known as the Sun Pokémon.
* Espeon was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>(2018) ''EVs''. ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-eevee-origins/ English translation] written by Anthony Madry and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376 Tweet by AtsukoNishida (@atsuko_nishida).] Posted on October 5, 2016.</ref>
* Espeon has blue inner ears in the games, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, they are often purple.
* If one were to rearrange the [[Pokérap GS]] so all the Pokémon are in National Pokédex order, Espeon and {{p|Remoraid}} would remain in their respective positions in the song.
* Espeon is the only [[Eeveelution]] without a type advantage over another.

===Origin===
Because of its feline appearance, Espeon appears to be based on the legend of the ''{{wp|bakeneko}}'' and the ''{{wp|nekomata}}''; both are magical cat ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' described as mysterious and intelligent, with the distinction between the two being that the latter is depicted with a forked tail. It may also be based on the {{wp|Lynx (mythology)|mythological lynx}}, a feline creature that possesses the psychic power of clairvoyance. The jewel on its head may also be a reference to the ''{{wp|carbunclo}}'', a mythological South American creature with a jewel or mirror on its forehead, and sometimes described as a feline. The position of the jewel also evokes the idea of a "{{wp|third eye}}".

Its large ears can be traced from various felines such as {{wp|caracal}}s, {{wp|oriental shorthair}}s, {{wp|lynx}}es, and possibly {{wp|serval}}s, while its fine hair is similar to that of a {{wp|sphynx cat}}. Espeon's ability to sense minute shifts in the air with its sensitive fur mirrors a cat's ability to use its sensitive whiskers to detect the slightest directional change in a breeze.

Espeon's Shiny coloration may serve as a reference to Carbuncle, a reoccurring summon with the {{wp|Final Fantasy}} series, who debuted in ''{{wp|Final Fantasy V}}''.

====Name origin====
Espeon may be a combination of the acronym ''ESP'' ({{wp|extrasensory perception}}) and ''eon'' (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). ''Eon'' is a suffix all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Eifie may be a combination of エスパー ''ESPer'' (one who has extrasensory perception) and フィール ''feel''. It is also similar to イーブイ ''Eievui'' (Eevee's Japanese name).

Loyal Three

Jsphmagana: /* Trivia */

[[File:The Loyal Three.png|thumb|250px|Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti at the Loyalty Plaza]]

The three members are all [[Gender|male]], and they share a primary type, {{t|Poison}}; a {{pkmn|category}}, "Retainer Pokémon"; and an [[Ability]], {{a|Toxic Chain}}.

After their true, greedy nature is revealed, [[Carmine]] refers to them as the '''Lousy Three''' or the '''"Loyal" Three'''.

==History==
[[File:The Loyalty Plaza after being rebuilt.png|thumb|250px|The Loyal Three shrine at the Loyalty Plaza]]
The Pokémon that formed the Loyal Three were once below-average Pokémon: {{p|Okidogi}} was small and weak, {{p|Munkidori}} was clumsy and dim-witted, and {{p|Fezandipiti}} had short, dull feathers. The {{a|Toxic Chain}}s wrapped around their bodies granted them the strength, cleverness, and beauty that they respectively wished for. How the chains were found or created remains a mystery, although it would later be revealed that {{p|Pecharunt}} was responsible.

In [[Kitakami]], a man and an [[Ogerpon (game)|ogre]] were becoming famous for their four exquisite masks, to the point they were being talked about in other regions. Hearing about them, this group of three Pokémon, along with Pecharunt, made their way to Kitakami to take the masks for themselves, infiltrating [[Dreaded Den|the cave]] where they resided. In the ogre's absence, after a struggle, the trio managed to leave with just three: the [[Wellspring Mask]], the [[Hearthflame Mask]], and the [[Cornerstone Mask]], with the man only holding onto the remaining [[Teal Mask]].

Later, the ogre returned to its cave and found it in ruins, with only the Teal Mask left behind and no traces of its friend or the other masks. Donning the remaining Teal Mask with its cudgel in hand, the ogre set out to the nearby village in search of its friend, only to find the trio gloating over their plunder. Enraged, the ogre defeated the trio, much to the fear of the villagers observing the battle. Already afraid of the ogre due to its appearance, the villagers believed that the trio were actually defending them from the ogre. As the wounded ogre left the village, alone and in sorrow, the villagers named the trio the Loyal Three, and put their bodies to rest. The Loyal Three's remains were buried near the village, and a monument dedicated to honor their "sacrifice" was erected on top. The surrounding area would be known as Loyal Three Park, later renamed to [[Loyalty Plaza]].

Only the village mask maker, who had gifted the ogre and the man with the masks, understood what had transpired between the Loyal Three and the ogre. However, the other villagers dismissed him as a heretic for attempting to explain the truth. To protect his family from suffering the village's wrath as he did, he kept the truth hidden from everyone, and passed the truth down to his descendants as a family secret. From that point on, the Loyal Three were unjustly revered as heroes by the people of Kitakami for generations.

According to local Kitakami beliefs, worshiping the Loyal Three would grant various benefits such as kindness, success, and good fortune.

==In the games==
===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
Prior to the release of update 2.0.1, the Loyal Three could be seen on a poster in [[Medali]], teasing the future expansion.

The Loyal Three formally appear in [[The Teal Mask]]. They are somehow suddenly resurrected after their grave was punched by Kieran and emerge from their burial ground, and they proceed to [[Mossui Town]], where they are fed by the villagers and given back Ogerpon's masks that they had stolen, which the villagers had kept in Kitakami Hall. Afterwards, the three head to the [[Dreaded Den]] to fight {{p|Ogerpon}} again, but are stopped by the player, causing them to flee. Wanting to help Ogerpon retrieve her masks back, the player forms a group called the "Mask Retrieval Squad" with [[Carmine]] and [[Kieran]] — the latter two being descendants of the mask maker who provided Ogerpon with her masks.

Presumably due to the food they were fed earlier, the Loyal Three assumed [[Titan Pokémon|titanic forms]], requiring the player and [[Carmine]] to team up to take each one down together. Eventually, they were beaten and forced out of their titanic forms, causing them to leave behind their stolen masks.

In the post-story, the player can optionally rematch and catch the individual members at the same areas they were fought at before.

==Trivia==
[[File:Unknown figure Kitakami.png|thumb|200px|A depiction of {{p|Pecharunt}} in {{p|Ogerpon}}'s story]]
* The Loyal Three, {{p|Pecharunt}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}} appear to reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}'', albeit with the roles of the heroes and the villains reversed. The tale of ''Momotarō'' relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations).
* The names of the trio's members all reference different expressions that are associated with happiness: Okidogi being taken from "okeydokey", Munkidori being taken from "hunky-dory", and Fezandipiti being taken from "serendipity".
* The Loyal Three appear to share a thematic tie to the number “8”. This may be because the character ''8'' looks like a set of chains. It may also be because 8 is considered a lucky number in many Asian cultures, including Japanese, which aligns with the trio's naming convention and role.
** There are 8 complete chains worn by the Three: Okidogi has three in his scarf, Munkidori has one in his headband, and Fezandipiti has four in his belt.
*** {{p|Ogerpon}}, who is also associated with the Loyal Three and their leader Pecharunt, has four forms, each corresponding to the mask it is wearing, which also changes its type, and each having their own unique {{Tera|Terastallized states}}.
** The group's shared base HP stat of 88 can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for やばい ''yabai'', which can mean several different things like "terrible" and "dangerous", referencing their true nature as greedy, vicious thieves.
*** Conversely, 88 can also be read as goroawase for ぱちぱち ''pachipachi'', the sound of clapping. This could reference their misinterpreted role as heroes in their story, as well as the positive connotations of their names.
*** {{p|Pecharunt}}, the Loyal Three [[Legendary group#Legendary leader|trio master]], also shares the same base HP stat of 88. All of its other stats are 88 as well, except for Defense, which is 160 (or 8 * 20).
** All moves learned by the Loyal Three via leveling up are learned at levels which are multiples of 8 (excluding level 1).
*** Pecharunt, the Loyal Three trio master, also shares this trait.
* During the scene showcasing Ogerpon's true story as told by [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]], when the Loyal Three are about to steal Ogerpon's masks, Pecharunt can be barely seen right above Okidogi. What appears to be a Pecharunt doll can be also seen at Peachy's in [[Mossui Town]], which is later revealed in [[Mochi Mayhem]] to be the actual Pecharunt, simply slumbering after the Loyal Three's defeat at the hands of {{p|Ogerpon}}.
* During the start of the battles against [[Titan Pokémon|Titanic]] {{p|Okidogi}}, Titanic {{p|Munkidori}}, Titanic {{p|Fezandipiti}} and {{p|Pecharunt}}, a psychedelic effect briefly appears on the screen. This effect appears to be caused by Pecharunt's toxic powers, as each of the Loyal Three members possess a Toxic Chain wrapped around their body and Pecharunt is the source of that power.
* If the player uses any member of the Loyal Three in the battle against Pecharunt, Pecharunt will react with shock and anger, yelling out "Pechaaa! Chraaahhh!". This is likely due to them now serving the player instead of it.
** Pecharunt will repeat this reaction every time each Loyal Three member is sent out for the first time.
** Inversely, Ogerpon will be the one to react should she be used in battle against Pecharunt. Much like it, Ogerpon will react with anger and loathing, yelling out "GRAH! Pon PON!!!" This is due to Pecharunt being equally responsible to the events in her past as the Loyal Three were.

Sweet

Jsphmagana: /* Trivia */

{{search|evolution items|the sweet flavor|Flavor}} ''For other uses, see [[Sweet (disambiguation)]].''
'''Sweets''' (Japanese: '''アメざいく''' ''{{wp|Amezaiku}}'') are a group of [[held item]]s that were introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. They allow {{p|Milcery}} to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Alcremie}}.

==Mechanics==
When Sweets are held by a Milcery, if the player spins the control stick to where they spin then stop to strike Leon's Charizard pose, Milcery will evolve into Alcremie. This consumes the held Sweet.

Alcremie's sweet "hair decoration" and eye color directly depends on the Sweet used, whereas Alcremie's forms depends on the [[time]] of day, the length of the spin, and the direction of the spin. If the Milcery in question is {{Shiny}}, the resulting Shiny Alcremie's form would always look the same, regardless of what form it has, with only the Sweet used to evolve the Milcery forming any real distinct difference.

RKS System (Ability)

Jsphmagana: /* In battle */

{{AbilityInfobox
|name=RKS System
|jpname=ＡＲシステム
|jptrans=AR System
|jptranslit=AR Shisutemu
|colorscheme=Normal
|gen=7
|text7=Changes the Pokémon's type to match the memory disc it holds.

}}

'''RKS System''' (Japanese: '''ＡＲシステム''' ''AR System'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Silvally}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
RKS System changes the [[type]] of the Pokémon with this Ability depending on the [[memory]] attached, as well as {{m|Multi-Attack}}.

{{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, {{m|Simple Beam}}, and {{m|Entrainment}} fail if the target has the Ability RKS System. {{m|Skill Swap}} fails if either Pokémon has RKS System. RKS System cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}, {{a|Power of Alchemy}}, or {{a|Receiver}}. RKS System cannot be replaced by {{a|Mummy}} or suppressed by {{m|Core Enforcer}}. If a Pokémon other than Silvally obtains RKS System with {{a|Imposter}} or {{m|Transform}}, the Pokémon will copy the form of the target Silvally regardless of its own held item.

In Generation VIII, RKS System is hampered in performance when [[Dynamax]]ing. While RKS System will still change the current type of Silvally depending on the Memory, it cannot influence the typing of Multi-Attack while Silvally is Dynamaxed.

===Outside of battle===
RKS System has no effect outside of battle.

==Trivia==
* The name of this Ability is a reference to {{p|Arceus}}, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Alpha Pokémon.
** The company {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|RKS Laboratories}} (Japanese: '''アルセウス{{tt|製薬|せいやく}}''' ''Arceus Pharma'') in [[Galar]] has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.

Sweet

{{search|evolution items|the sweet flavor|Flavor}} ''For other uses, see [[Sweet (disambiguation)]].''
'''Sweets''' (Japanese: '''アメざいく''' ''{{wp|Amezaiku}}'') are a group of [[held item]]s that were introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. They allow {{p|Milcery}} to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Alcremie}}.

==Mechanics==
When held by a Milcery, if the player spins such that they strike a pose, Milcery will evolve into Alcremie. This consumes the Sweet.

Alcremie's sweet directly depends on the Sweet used. Alcremie's color depends on the [[time]] of day, the length of the spin, and the direction of the spin. The sole exception is if the Milcery in question is {{Shiny}}, in which case Alcremie will always have its Shiny coloration.

Dynamax

2020-02-01T21:50:02Z

Jsphmagana: /* Effects */

[[File:SwSh Prerelease Dynamax Pikachu.png|thumb|A Dynamax {{p|Pikachu}}]]
'''Dynamax''' (Japanese: '''ダイマックス''' ''Daimax'') is a temporary transformation affecting Pokémon that was introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who obtain a [[Dynamax Band]] are able to Dynamax their Pokémon. According to [[Professor Magnolia]], the Pokémon distorts space to change its size while affecting the world around them.

==History==
Dynamax was created from {{p|Eternatus}} when its energy leaked out of it while it slumbered to recover from its wounds. This resulted in the creation of several places called Power Spots, where Trainers can trigger the Dynamax transformation, which the Gym Stadiums are built over. Also the Power Spots were created in the [[Pokémon Den]]s scattered thought the Wild Area for the [[Max Raid Battle]]. Parts of Eternatus's body, known as [[Wishing Star]]s, rained across [[Galar]], allowing whoever found them to Dynamax their Pokémon when at a Power Spot. [[Dynamax Band]]s were created to help anyone fully utilize the transformation anytime they when near Power Spots.

==Effects==
{{incomplete|section|Effects of item-affecting moves See comment tags}}
Dynamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically, as well as changing the moves of the Pokémon and increasing their HP in battle (except for {{p|Shedinja}}), but can only be used once during a battle, and ends after three turns or if the user is switched out. In addition, it can only be performed in areas known to have power spots, such as [[Galar]]'s [[Gym|Stadium]]s and {{gdis|Battle Tower|VIII}}. When Dynamaxed, all of the Pokémon's [[move]]s will turn into [[Max Move]]s that correspond to those moves' [[type]]s and categories. Like with [[Mega Evolution]], Dynamax is activated at the start of the turn before all other moves are executed.

Dynamaxing provides Pokémon with an increase to its maximum and current HP (with the exception of {{p|Shedinja}}) by the same factor. The amount of HP gained depends on the Pokemon's Dynamax Level, which can be increased with [[Dynamax Candy]]. At Dynamax Level 0, a Pokémon will gain 50% more HP. For every Dynamax Level above that, the Pokemon will gain 5% more HP, up to a 100% HP increase at Dynamax Level 10. All other [[statistic|stats]], as well as its [[Ability]] and [[held item]], remain the same.

Whenever a Pokémon enters into or reverts from Dynamax, its current HP is adjusted to retain the same percentage of HP remaining. For instance, if a Pokémon at Dynamax Level 10 has 100/200 HP remaining, then upon Dynamaxing, its HP will be adjusted to 200/400. Conversely, if the same Pokémon has 100/400 HP in Dynamax form, then its HP will be adjusted down to 50/200 when its Dynamax expires. All effects that is based on a percentage of the Dynamaxed Pokémon's maximum HP (e.g. {{m|Life Dew}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, [[Poison (status condition)|poisoning]]) is calculated based on its maximum non-Dynamax HP. If {{m|Endeavor}} or {{m|Pain Split}} is used against a Dynamax Pokémon, the damage it receives would only be based on its non-Dynamax HP. However, {{m|Brine}}'s bonus damage is still calculated based on the Dynamax HP.

If a Pokémon has the Gigantamax Factor, it can undergo [[Gigantamax]], a special kind of Dynamax that results in a different appearance to its regular form in addition to being larger. Only specific individual members of a select group of species can Gigantamax. Each Gigantamax Pokémon has an exclusive Max Move known as a [[G-Max Move]]. Other than having a G-Max Move, Gigantamax is functionally identical to a Dynamax.

{{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, and {{p|Eternatus}} are unable to use Dynamax.

Additionally, a Dynamax Pokémon is immune to:
* {{status|Flinch}}ing
** {{m|Fake Out}} can still damage a Dynamax Pokémon, but will have no secondary effect
* {{cat|Moves affected by weight}} (e.g. {{m|Low Kick}} and {{m|Heavy Slam}})
* Moves that remove {{Berries}} (e.g. {{m|Pluck}}, {{m|Bug Bite}}, {{m|Incinerate}}), {{m|Covet}}
** {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Knock Off}} still work
* [[One-hit knockout move]]s
* {{m|Destiny Bond}}
* Moves that replace the target's [[Ability]] with the user's (e.g. {{m|Skill Swap}} and {{m|Entrainment}})
** Other {{cat|Ability-changing moves}} still work (e.g. {{m|Gastro Acid}} and {{m|Worry Seed}})
* {{cat|Moves that switch the target out}} (e.g. {{m|Roar}} and {{m|Whirlwind}})
** But they can switch out through {{a|Emergency Exit}} or an [[Eject Button]]
** {{m|Circle Throw}} and {{m|Dragon Tail}} still do damage, but will not switch out a Dynamax Pokémon
** [[Red Card]] also fails against a Dynamax Pokémon, but is still consumed
* {{m|Disable}} and {{a|Cursed Body}}
** A Max Move can still be used if its base move was disabled prior to Dynamax
* {{m|Encore}}
* {{m|Instruct}}

[[Choice Band]], [[Choice Scarf]], [[Choice Specs]], {{a|Gorilla Tactics}}, {{a|RKS System}}, and {{a|Sheer Force}} temporarily stop working (including the stat boosts) if the holder is Dynamaxed. However, [[Assault Vest]] still works accordingly and prevents the holder from using of [[Max Guard]].

If a Dynamax Pokémon is unable to use any moves (e.g. running out of [[Power Point|PP]]), it will use {{m|Struggle}}.

If {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}} is used against a Dynamax Pokémon, only its base form and base moves will be copied, and the user can Dynamax separately. The Gigantamax Factor, however, is not copied at all; instead, the user can only achieve the standard Dynamax form. Additionally, if a Pokémon incapable of Dynamax (e.g. {{p|Zacian}}) is copied, then the user will not be able to Dynamax afterwards. If a Pokémon attempts to copy a Max Move (e.g. using {{m|Copycat}}), it will copy the base move of that Max Move.

In a [[Max Raid Battle]], the wild Pokémon is a Dynamax Pokémon for the entire duration of the battle. Only one of the Trainers' Pokémon can Dynamax during a Max Raid Battle for three turns. The first Trainer with the chance to Dynamax is the host, with the chance passing to the next player who joined until it returns to the first player.

==In the anime==
[[File:Gigantamax Snorlax anime.png|thumb|250px|A Gigantamax Snorlax in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Dynamaxing was first featured in [[SS005]], where {{Ash}} and {{an|Go}} witnessed a {{p|Snorlax}} [[Gigantamax]]ing in the [[Wild Area]] and had to figure out a way to stop an incoming train from colliding with it.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
Dynamax is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{VMAX}}. It was added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion (the {{TCG|Sword}} and {{TCG|Shield}} sets in Japan).

Released along with the first {{TCG|Pokémon V}} cards, '''Pokémon VMAX''' introduce the Dynamax and [[Gigantamax]] mechanics into the Trading Card Game. Pokémon VMAX evolve from its respective Pokémon V, giving them boosted {{TCG|Hit Points}} (so far, the biggest HPs in a Pokémon card) and more powerful attacks. When a VMAX Pokémon is knocked out, the opponent takes three Prize cards instead of one.

So far, all released VMAX Pokémon have one or two attacks and no abilities. While keeping the same layout of Pokémon V, VMAX Pokémon cards have a rainbow background and details on the card's bottom, as well its illustration also fading into the top-most area and having the visual aura of Dynamaxing/Gigantamaxing on the Pokémon.

Gigantamax

2019-12-16T13:40:42Z

Jsphmagana: /* In the games */

'''Gigantamax''' (Japanese: '''キョダイマックス''' ''Kyodaimax'') is a special kind of [[Dynamax]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. Like other Dynamaxing, Gigantamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically and increases their stats in battle. Only certain species of Pokémon can Gigantamax, and when they do, their appearance changes significantly, unlike regular Dynamaxing. As revealed by [[Professor Magnolia]], the Pokémon distorts space to change its size while affecting the world around them while altering their appearance drastically.

==History==
Like [[Dynamax]], the Gigantamax transformation originated from {{p|Eternatus}}, who provides the [[Galar]] region with Power Spots where the transformation can be triggered.

==In the games==
Even within species that are capable of Gigantamaxing, only certain individuals can Gigantamax. When an individual Pokémon capable of Gigantamaxing Dynamaxes, it Gigantamaxes; other individuals of the same species will simply Dynamax as normal. Pokémon capable of Gigantamaxing can typically be caught in [[Max Raid Battle]]s, but have a rare encounter rate. Others, such as {{p|Meowth}}, are set to be distributed via [[event]]s. Notably, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}} capable of Gigantamax can be received if the player has save data of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], respectively. {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Eevee}} capable of Gigantamaxing cannot [[evolution|evolve]]. Also, some can only be encountered for a limited time through monthly Wild Area Events.

Individuals with the ability to Gigantimax can be seen having the Dynamax symbol in their information.

==Effects==
In their Gigantamax form (Japanese: キョダイマックスのすがた), Pokémon can use a [[G-Max Move]]. Each G-Max Move is exclusive to a specific species of Gigantamax Pokémon. All of a Gigantamax Pokémon's moves of a certain type turn into G-Max Moves instead of their corresponding [[Max Move]]. Like the Dynamax, their HP increased depending on the Dynamax Level. All other stats, along with its [[Ability]], remain the same.

In the [[Pokédex]], Gigantamax forms are all listed with [[List of Pokémon by height|heights]] ending in a plus, suggesting that the recorded height is only a minimal figure, and [[List of Pokémon by weight|weights]] of "???", suggesting that their weights are immeasurable. A Gigantamax Pokémon must be used in battle in order to register the Gigantamax entry in the player's Pokédex, this is in contrast to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]] whereby the form difference only has to be "seen" in order to register the entry as long as at least one of the other forms of the Pokémon is registered as "owned".

'''Mime Jr.''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マネネ''' ''Manene'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Mr. Mime}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Mimic}}. In [[Galar]], it evolves into Galarian Mr. Mime when leveled up while knowing Mimic, which evolves into {{p|Mr. Rime}} starting at level 42.

==Biology==
Mime Jr. is a small, pink Pokémon with dark blue legs and "hat," which appears crooked and has a white ball on it. A red bump appears on its stomach and a typical red clown nose appears on its face. It has slender arms and small hands. Mime Jr. has a knack for imitating others, though is not very good at it; it can easily pick up emotions of those around it and imitate them. It has been known to mimic its foes in order to create distractions. Once the foe is confused, it will quickly escape. It likes places where many people gather.

==Trivia==
* Mime Jr. is the only Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] of 145.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, if the player has a Mime Jr. as their partner in {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s room, the Mime Jr. will "mimic" the player when interacted with.
* Mime Jr. has the lowest base {{stat|HP}} of all [[Psychic (type)|Psychic]] and {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Mime Jr. is based on a {{wp|mime}} and a {{wp|clown}}. Its secondary {{t|Fairy}} typing and pointed hat indicate that it may also be based on fairy tale {{wp|gnome}}s. Its upper body and simple design also suggest that it is a {{wp|tsukumogami}} based on a cloth hand puppet, to complement the dummy-like appearance of Mr. Mime.

====Name origin====
Mime Jr. is derived from the name of its evolution, {{p|Mr. Mime}}.

Manene may be a combination of 真似 ''mane'' (mimicry) and ''nene'' (Spanish for ''baby'').

'''Mime Jr.''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マネネ''' ''Manene'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Mr. Mime}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Mimic}}. In [[Galar]], it evolves into Galarian Mr. Mime when leveled up while knowing Mimic, which evolves into {{p|Mr. Rime}} starting at level 42.

==Biology==
Mime Jr. is a small, pink Pokémon with dark blue legs and "hat," which appears crooked and has a white ball on it. A red bump appears on its stomach and a typical red clown nose appears on its face. It has slender arms and small hands. Mime Jr. has a knack for imitating others, though is not very good at it; it can easily pick up emotions of those around it and imitate them. It has been known to mimic its foes in order to create distractions. Once the foe is confused, it will quickly escape. It likes places where many people gather.

==Trivia==
* Mime Jr. is the only Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] of 145.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, if the player has a Mime Jr. as their partner in {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s room, the Mime Jr. will "mimic" the player when interacted with.
* Mime Jr. has the lowest base {{stat|HP}} of all [[Psychic (type)|Psychic]] and {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Mime Jr. is based on a {{wp|mime}} and a {{wp|clown}}. Its secondary {{t|Fairy}} typing and pointed hat indicate that it may also be based on fairy tale {{wp|gnome}}s. Its upper body and simple design also suggest that it is a {{wp|tsukumogami}} based on a cloth hand puppet, to complement the dummy-like appearance of Mr. Mime.

====Name origin====
Mime Jr. is derived from the name of its evolution, {{p|Mr. Mime}}.

Manene may be a combination of 真似 ''mane'' (mimicry) and ''nene'' (Spanish for ''baby'').

'''Mime Jr.''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マネネ''' ''Manene'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Mr. Mime}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Mimic}}. In [[Galar]], it evolves into Galarian Mr. Mime when leveled up while knowing Mimic, which evolves into {{p|Mr. Rime}} starting at level 42.

==Biology==
Mime Jr. is a small, pink Pokémon with dark blue legs and "hat," which appears crooked and has a white ball on it. A red bump appears on its stomach and a typical red clown nose appears on its face. It has slender arms and small hands. Mime Jr. has a knack for imitating others, though is not very good at it; it can easily pick up emotions of those around it and imitate them. It has been known to mimic its foes in order to create distractions. Once the foe is confused, it will quickly escape. It likes places where many people gather.

==Trivia==
* Mime Jr. is the only Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] of 145.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, if the player has a Mime Jr. as their partner in {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s room, the Mime Jr. will "mimic" the player when interacted with.
* Mime Jr. has the lowest base {{stat|HP}} of all [[Psychic (type)|Psychic]] and {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Mime Jr. is based on a {{wp|mime}} and a {{wp|clown}}. Its secondary {{t|Fairy}} typing and pointed hat indicate that it may also be based on fairy tale {{wp|gnome}}s. Its upper body and simple design also suggest that it is a {{wp|tsukumogami}} based on a cloth hand puppet, to complement the dummy-like appearance of Mr. Mime.

====Name origin====
Mime Jr. is derived from the name of its evolution, {{p|Mr. Mime}}.

Manene may be a combination of 真似 ''mane'' (mimicry) and ''nene'' (Spanish for ''baby'').

'''Yamask''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デスマス''' ''Desumasu'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Cofagrigus}} starting at [[level]] 34.

In [[Galar]], Yamask has a {{2t|Ground|Ghost}}-type [[regional form]]. It evolves into {{p|Runerigus}} when the player travels under the stone bridge in [[Dusty Bowl]] after Yamask takes at least 49 {{stat|HP}} in [[damage]] (even if healed) without [[fainting]] once.

==Biology==
[[File:Yamask mask.png|left|thumb|200px|The mask of a Yamask]]
Yamask is a shadow-like Pokémon holding a mask that has a face from its time as a [[human]]. It has two shadowy, tendril-like arms and large, red eyes. It also has a small tail-like appendage that holds the mask.

Due to being a human long ago, it has memories of being a human. If someone wears the mask Yamask carries, they will become possessed by the Yamask in question. Sometimes, it looks at this mask and cries, apparently in longing. Yamask is known to wander the ruins of ancient civilizations.

The Yamask of Galar have purple eyes and carry pieces of an ancient clay tablet in the place of masks. The tablet bears cursed engravings, and is said to be absorbing Yamask's dark power.

==In the anime==
[[File:Yamask anime.png|250px|thumb|left|Yamask in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[James's Yamask]]====
A Yamask appeared before {{TRT}} in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', and [[James]] was able to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} him. At the end of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, James had to give Yamask to {{an|Giovanni}} as a sign that they accomplished something in [[Unova]].

====Other====
Yamask debuted in ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', where it was causing havoc in the [[Nacrene City]] Museum. This eventually turned out to be because Yamask's mask had been put on display after it accidentally dropped it while sleeping. In the end, [[Lenora]], along with {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and [[Hawes]] gained an understanding with it and gave its mask back. Yamask then left the museum peacefully.

==Trivia==
* Galarian Yamask's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are the reverse of a regular Yamask's.
* Yamask, along with [[Litwick]], have the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Yamask is based on an Egyptian {{wp|Ancient Egyptian conception of the soul|šwt}} holding a {{wp|death mask}}.

====Name origin====
Yamask may be a combination of 闇 ''yami'' (darkness), や ''ya'' (bad), or ''{{wp|Yama}}'' (lord of the dead in Hindu and Buddhist mythology), and ''mask''.

Desumasu may be a combination of ''death'' and ''mask''. It is also a pun off of ですます体 ''desumasu-tai'', a form of polite Japanese which gets its name from the fact that sentences often end in です ''desu'' or ます ''masu''.

Friendship

{{samename|Friendship features in {{g|GO}}|Friends (GO)}}
{{redirect|Happiness|the "Happiness Pokémon" category|Blissey (Pokémon)}}
{{spading|comment=Still needs research overall, especially regarding values.}}
{{incomplete|needs=Generations VI and VII information, manga section}}
'''Friendship''' (Japanese: '''なつき{{tt|度|ど}}''' ''degree of emotional attachment''), also referred to as '''loyalty''' in [[Generation II]] core series games, '''tame''' in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] and '''friendliness''' in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], and commonly referred to by fans as '''happiness''', is a measurement of how much a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is attached to its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and enjoys being in their care.

It affects the [[evolution]] of {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by friendship|certain Pokémon}}, the power of {{m|Return}} and {{m|Frustration}}, and the availability of a few in-game [[item]]s and [[Ribbon]]s. Certain events increase a Pokémon's friendship (gaining a [[level]], walking a certain amount of steps) or decrease it ([[fainting]], using [[herbal medicine]]).

Friendship was introduced in {{game|Yellow}} for the {{player}}'s {{ga|Red's Pikachu|starter Pikachu}} only, and expanded to cover all Pokémon in [[Generation II]].

Friendship is not the same as [[Affection]], a stat introduced in [[Generation VI]]. However, since [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the two have been combined, since while Affection does not exist in either the Let's Go games and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], but Pokémon with high friendship gain the same benefits as those that have high affection in other games.

==In the core series games==
Friendship debuted in [[Generation I]] as a mechanic that applied only to the {{player}}'s {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}. In [[Generation II]], it was expanded to cover all Pokémon. In all games, friendship is a value that ranges from 0 to 255 (stored as a single byte). In Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu's friendship is indicated by the expression it shows when the player talks to it, but in later games, [[#Raters|certain NPCs]] in the games will evaluate the friendship of a Pokémon in the player's [[party]].

A Pokémon's friendship is generally set when the player first obtains it. When a Pokémon is first caught from the wild, its friendship starts at its [[List of Pokémon by base friendship|base friendship]] value. Trading a Pokémon also resets its friendship to its base value, unless it is being traded back to its [[original Trainer]] in [[Generation VI]] or later, in which case it regains the friendship it had before being traded away. A Pokémon caught in a [[Friend Ball]] starts with 200 friendship instead of its base friendship, while a Pokémon hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} starts with 120 friendship.

Friendship is generally increased by taking good care of a Pokémon. Keeping a Pokémon in the player's party, raising it, using items on it, and getting it [[Pokémon groomer|groomed]] will all increase a Pokémon's friendship. Letting it faint and using bitter [[herbal medicine]]s on it will decrease a Pokémon's friendship.

===Boosting friendship===
In {{game|Crystal}}, if a Pokémon is leveled up at its met location, it will gain twice as much friendship from that level up as usual. Since only Pokémon caught in Pokémon Crystal have a defined met location, Pokémon caught in the [[Generation I]] games, {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and Pokémon from [[in-game trade]]s will not receive this bonus. If a Pokémon that has a defined met location is traded to a Generation I game, this data is permanently erased, so it can no longer receive this bonus.

Starting in Generation III, if a Pokémon was caught in a [[Luxury Ball]] or is currently at the same location where it was {{pkmn2|caught}} (its met location), any increase to its friendship is boosted by an extra point (two points if both apply). If a Pokémon is holding a [[Soothe Bell]], increases to its friendship are boosted by 50% of the change. In Generation III, Soothe Bell applies directly to the original change in friendship, while in later games, it applies to the friendship change after including Luxury Ball and met location bonuses. In Generation IV, being at its met location does not change the amount of friendship a Pokémon gains, but it does from Generation V onward.

In Generation V, the Befriending Power [[Pass Power]] boosts any increase to friendship by one to three points depending on the strength of the power used. In Generation VI, the Befriending Power [[O-Power]] has the same effect. Befriending Power does not exist in [[Generation VII]].

None of these effects change the amount of friendship lost for negative changes or for changes of 0 (such as using an [[X Attack]] on a Pokémon with high friendship).

===Mechanics using friendship===
In Pokémon Yellow, friendship affected very little beyond the reactions Pikachu would show when interacted with.

Starting in [[Generation II]], there are {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by friendship}}, which can only evolve if they have 220 friendship or more. Additionally, the moves {{m|Return}} and {{m|Frustration}} vary in power depending on how high or low the user's friendship is.

From [[Generation IV]] onward, there is a [[Ribbon]] for Pokémon with maximum friendship, the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Footprint Ribbon}}.

Some NPCs also only give gifts or [[Move Tutor|teach moves]] when the player's Pokémon has a certain amount of friendship. Specifically, a Pokémon must have maximized friendship to learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, {{m|Grass Pledge}}, {{m|Fire Pledge}}, or {{m|Water Pledge}} in any generation.

In {{2v2|Omega Ruby|Alpha Sapphire}}, [[Nameless Cavern]] becomes unlocked once the {{player}} has three Pokémon with maximum friendship on their team.

===In Generation I===
[[File:PikachuY-Happy.png|thumb|right|{{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} with high friendship]]
In {{game|Yellow}}, there is a friendship system exclusively for the player's {{ga|Red's Pikachu|starter Pikachu}}. Any Pikachu that the player is the [[Original Trainer]] of (according to their Original Trainer name and [[Trainer ID number]]) is treated as the player's starter Pikachu. Raichu and {{pkmn2|Outsider}} Pikachu are not affected, even if the Raichu was the player's starter Pokémon but evolved (which can only be done by first [[trade|trading]] it to another game).

The starter Pikachu [[Walking Pokémon|follows the player in the overworld]], if it is in the party and not [[fainting|fainted]] (if the player has multiple, Pikachu will follow if the first starter Pikachu in the party is not fainted). If the player interacts with Pikachu, a window will pop up showing Pikachu's face, and the expression is affected by Pikachu's current friendship (though certain special events may elicit special reactions unrelated to Pikachu's current friendship). At maximum friendship, Pikachu jumps up and down before the window appears.

In [[Cerulean City]], [[Melanie]] gives the player a {{p|Bulbasaur}} if the starter Pikachu's friendship is 147 or higher. Pikachu does not need to be in the player's party or even in the game itself to receive this Bulbasaur. This is the only significance of friendship outside of interacting with Pikachu.

Pikachu starts with a [[List of Pokémon by base friendship|base friendship]] of 90. Various actions can increase or decrease Pikachu's friendship level.

|} 

There is a single friendship value per game, and it remains even if the starter Pikachu is traded away. Trading away Pikachu will decrease its friendship, but this decreased value will be remembered when it returns. The player can still obtain Bulbasaur from Melanie if Pikachu has the appropriate friendship, even if they no longer have a starter Pikachu in their game. If the player has multiple Pikachu which qualify as their starter Pikachu in a single game, all of these Pikachu share the same friendship value, so any friendship-modifying event applies to all of them.

[[Vitamin]]s, [[battle item]]s and {{cat|HP-restoring items}} increase Pikachu's friendship even if they have no effect. For example, attempting to use a [[Potion]] on a Pikachu that has [[fainting|fainted]] or has full health, an [[Antidote]] when Pikachu is not {{status|poison}}ed, [[Calcium]] when Pikachu has already reached its maximum {{DL|Statistic|Special}} [[stat experience]], or [[X Special]] when the Special stat has already been [[Statistic#Stat modifiers|raised 6 stages]] in battle. This does not consume the item, so the same item can repeatedly increase Pikachu's friendship. However, battle items such as [[X Special]] only raise Pikachu's friendship if they are used in-battle, since they are unusable outside battles in the first place. Waking Pikachu up with the [[Poké Flute]] (either in or out of battle) does not change its friendship.

===In Generation II===
In [[Generation II]], friendship was expanded to cover all Pokémon. All Pokémon have a [[List of Pokémon by base friendship|base friendship]] of 70, but any Pokémon caught in a [[Friend Ball]] starts with 200 friendship and any Pokémon hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} starts with 120 friendship.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, [[#Gold, Silver, and Crystal|an NPC]] who will evaluate the friendship of the first Pokémon in the player's [[party]] can be found at [[Goldenrod City]].

The met location boost was first introduced in {{game|Crystal}}.

===In Generation III===
In [[Generation III]], different [[Pokémon (species)|species]] of Pokémon were given individualized [[List of Pokémon by base friendship|base friendship]] values. The [[Luxury Ball]] and [[Soothe Bell]] boosts were also introduced.

In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, [[#Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald|an NPC]] who will evaluate the friendship of the first Pokémon in the player's [[party]] can be found at [[Verdanturf Town]]. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, [[Daisy Oak]] will perform the [[#FireRed and LeafGreen|same service]] in [[Pallet Town]]. In addition, in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the degree to which a Pokémon moves towards the screen after an item is used on it will also indicate how high its friendship is.

In the table below, fainting in battle will not alter a Pokémon's friendship if it fainted from {{status|poison}} at the end of a turn.

===In Generation IV===

[[File:Friendship Checker App.png|thumb|200px|right|The [[Pokétch]]'s Friendship Checker app with a {{p|Drifblim}} at maximum friendship.]]
In Generation IV only, a Pokémon's met location does not affect the amount of friendship it gains. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the massage at the [[Ribbon Syndicate]] is also not affected by any friendship boosts, and the Soothe Bell does not affect friendship gained when using a [[battle item]].

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, [[#Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum|an NPC]] who will evaluate the friendship of the first Pokémon in the player's [[party]] can be found in [[Hearthome City]], or the player may use the {{DL|Pokétch|Friendship Checker}} app on the [[Pokétch]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[#HeartGold and SoulSilver|an NPC]] in [[Goldenrod City]] will also evaluate the friendship of the first Pokémon in the player's party, or a [[walking Pokémon]]'s friendship may also be gauged by its reaction when speaking to it.

===In Generation V===
{{incomplete|section|Effects of Makeups at the {{DL|Join Avenue|Beauty Salon}}; check whether boosts like Luxury Ball apply to Join Avenue events}}
Generation V introduced Befriending Power as a [[Pass Power]] to boost friendship gains.

Friendship boosts do not apply to the massage in [[Castelia City]].

In the Generation V games, [[#Black and White|an NPC]] who will evaluate the friendship of the Pokémon in the player's [[party]] can be found in [[Icirrus City]], with a second NPC only found in [[Nacrene City]] during {{game|Black and White|s}} who checks the player's first Pokémon. In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the player may also contact [[Bianca]] on the [[Xtransceiver]] to have their Pokémon's friendship rated.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
{{incomplete|section|How to raise friendship (ie walking or feeding candy) and friendship benefits (ie those seen with affection)}}
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], friendship is factored into all of a Pokémon's stats, except HP. At maximum friendship, a Pokémon will receive a 10% boost to its stats, before [[awakening values|AVs]] are added in. The friendship multiplier scales directly with the level of friendship, starting from a 0% boost at 0 friendship to receiving the full 10% at 255.

===Evolutions===
Several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Evolution|evolve]] after being [[level]]ed up when their friendship value is 220 or higher.

=====Stadium 2=====
While there is no [[Non-player character|NPC]] that rates friendship, when viewing a table with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, its value is listed there (along other elements such as [[type]], [[Trainer ID number]] or [[item]]), in levels. Pokémon data read from a [[Generation I]] game will always be rated as ''Not quite'', even for {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}, which does have its friendship tracked.

===Misconceptions===
Although frequently reported to the contrary, the following factors do ''not'' affect friendship (note that these are focused on the system that has been in place since [[Generation II]]):
* Depositing a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Pokémon Storage System]]
* Healing a Pokémon with low {{stat|HP}} or with a [[status condition]]
* Giving a Pokémon an [[Held item|item to hold]] (except the [[Soothe Bell]])
* [[Evolution|Evolving]] a Pokémon, regardless of method ([[level]] up, [[held item]], or [[evolutionary stone]], with the exception of [[Methods of evolution#evolution via trading|trade evolutions]], which reset the Pokémon's friendship)
* Using a Pokémon in {{pkmn|battle}}
* Winning battles with a Pokémon
* Letting a Pokémon's HP fall to critical status
* Letting the {{player}}'s Pokémon get a status condition like {{status|paralysis}}
* Walking when the player's Pokémon has a status condition
* Increasing [[Affection]]

In {{v2|Yellow}} only, these actions fail if attempted and cause Pikachu to complain, but they don't affect its friendship:
* Trying to release the starter Pikachu
* Trying to evolve the starter Pikachu with a Thunder Stone

==In spin-off games==
{{incomplete|section|Pokémon Pikachu and Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS}}
===Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia===
[[File:Happy Mood SoA.png|frame|Two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in a ''Happy Mood'']]
Friendship also has an effect in the second game of the [[Pokémon Ranger]] series. {{ra|Partner Pokémon}} can have the condition of ''Fine'', ''Happy'', or ''Very Happy''. When it is in a ''Happy Mood'', black musical notes appear to come out of it. Multicolored musical notes come out when it is ''Very Happy''. This may happen whether or not it is with the {{player}}. This state of mind increases the speed the Partner Gauge fills up due to more Partner Energy being provided.

===In Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire===
{{incomplete|section|How the player obtains heart symbols}}
In [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], the player gets three friendship heart symbols in order to evolve any of the following Pokémon, which would normally evolve by friendship in the [[core series]] games.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash and Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Pikachu]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the bond between {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has been a theme since [[EP001|the first episode]], in which {{Ash}} had trouble to form a friendship with his newly obtained {{AP|Pikachu}}. After risking his own safety to protect his [[starter Pokémon]] from a flock of angry {{p|Spearow}}, Ash earned Pikachu's trust, and the two have been inseparable ever since.

Pokémon that have friendly relationships with their Trainers are said to perform better in {{pkmn|battle}}s. Ash believes that befriending a Pokémon will make it grow stronger, and he treats {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|all his Pokémon}} with utmost care and respect. However, over the course of the series, some Trainers have been shown to focus on raw strength alone, disregarding their Pokémon's feelings and well being. Examples include [[Paul]] and [[Cross]].

Aside from regular battles, friendship is valued in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, since the level of cooperation between {{pkmn|Coordinator}} and Pokémon is observed by the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]] during the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]]. Additionally, in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]], Coordinators are expected to be in synchronicity with their Pokémon the entire time. In ''[[AG078|Cruisin' for a Losin']]'', the Director of the {{pkmn|Activities Committee|Contest Committee}}, [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]], stated that a Pokémon's well being must be the number one priority of a Coordinator.

In ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', Contest Master [[Wallace]] stressed out the importance of kinship. He also said that playing with Pokémon can help Trainers and Coordinators in learning how to bring out the potential of their Pokémon. In addition to enhancing a Pokémon's appearance, {{pkmn|groomer|Pokémon grooming}} is said to make them happier. Trainers who devote themselves to the development of techniques that improve a Pokémon's health and happiness are known as {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s. There are also people who study to become [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]s in order to be able to identify the compatibility between Trainers and Pokémon, and then offer advice on how to strengthen their friendship.

As in the {{pkmn|games}}, friendship affects the [[power]] of {{m|Frustration}}. This was shown in ''[[AG175|Going for Choke!]]'', in which [[Harley]]'s {{p|Banette}} received a boost while using the [[move]] under the command of [[Jessie]], a Trainer it does not like. Although the concept of {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by friendship|Evolution by friendship}} has not been addressed directly, the [[Soothe Bell]] has appeared in the anime. In the {{series|XY}}, the friendship between Ash and his {{AP|Greninja}} triggered a temporary transformation known as [[Bond Phenomenon]].

In contrast with the games, where a Pokémon of a certain [[level]] will only obey its Trainer if he or she possesses specific achievements, disobedient Pokémon in the anime will gain respect for their Trainers after realizing how far the Trainer is willing to go to befriend, protect, and care for the Pokémon.

Fossil

2019-12-08T03:38:34Z

Jsphmagana: /* Trivia */

{{samename|the TCG set|Fossil (TCG)}}
----
A '''Fossil''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|化石|カセキ}}''' ''Fossil'') is a trace or piece of an organism from the past, such as a skeleton, shell, or leaf, preserved in the earth.

In the [[Pokémon world]], Fossils of prehistoric Pokémon are [[item]]s which can be revived into living Pokémon using techniques developed by the [[Devon Corporation]] and a research laboratory on [[Cinnabar Island]]. The two institutions purportedly developed their techniques independently of each other at around the same time. There are also other scientists around the Pokémon world who can revive Fossils using these techniques.

Pokémon revived from Fossils are commonly called Fossil Pokémon.

==In the games==
Scientists who can revive Fossils can be found in every [[core series]] game except the [[Generation II]] games.
* [[Kanto]]: [[Cinnabar Lab]]{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}} or [[Pewter Museum of Science]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}
* [[Hoenn]]: [[Devon Corporation]]
* [[Sinnoh]]: [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]]
* [[Unova]]: {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}}
* [[Kalos]]: [[Ambrette Town#Fossil Lab|Ambrette Fossil Lab]]
* [[Alola]]: {{DL|Alola Route 8|Fossil Restoration Center}}
* [[Galar]]: {{rt|6|Galar}}

Prior to Generation IV, Fossils were Key Items. However, from Generation IV and on, they are normal items, meaning that they can be traded freely between games. The table below summarizes the natural availability of the Fossils in the core series games.

In the games, relatively few [[Pokémon Trainer]]s possess Pokémon revived from Fossils, since they are considered rare and difficult to obtain.

===[[Generation I]]===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the first three Fossils were introduced. They have also appeared in most of the later games. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kanto color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-

|-

| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{flying color dark}}|Old Amber|Old Amber}}
|}

The Helix and Dome Fossils are chosen at the end of [[Mt. Moon]], being guarded by a Super Nerd, but the player may only choose one to keep. The other one that the Super Nerd takes will be revived and put on display in the Safari Zone. The Old Amber is located in the secret part of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], which can only be accessed with [[HM01]] Cut.

A scientist in the Pokémon Lab on [[Cinnabar Island]] can revive the Fossils. The resulting Pokémon are level 30.

During this generation (and their [[Generation III]] {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remakes|s}}), all Fossils are Key Items, and cannot be traded to other games to be revived.

[[Lance]] is the first Trainer to be seen with a Fossil Pokémon, possessing an Aerodactyl due to its {{t|Dragon|draconic}} appearance.

===[[Generation II]]===
No new Fossils were introduced in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and these games have no means by which to revive or acquire Fossils. However, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}} are prominently featured in the puzzles located at [[Ruins of Alph]]. Of the three, only Aerodactyl is actually obtainable in the games via an in-game [[trade]] with an NPC in Kanto (for {{p|Chansey}}). Omanyte and Kabuto must be traded from Generation I.

[[Lance]], who is now the [[Pokémon Champion]], continues to have an Aerodactyl on his team. In addition, [[Brock]], being a Fossil enthusiast, has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} in this generation's games, as well as the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium games]] in [[Gym Leader Castle]]. His fondness of Fossils is referenced again in the next generation of games when a man in [[Mt. Moon]] mentions that Brock helps excavate Fossils at the location, which implies that he excavated Omastar and Kabutops's Fossils himself.

===[[Generation III]]===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, two new Fossils were introduced. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{hoenn color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{hoenn color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Root Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|345|Lileep}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Claw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|347|Anorith}}
|-
| style="background:#{{grass color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{grass color dark}}|Root Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{bug color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{bug color dark}}|Claw Fossil}}
|}

In Ruby and Sapphire, the player can choose one of either the Root or Claw Fossils at {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, and upon choosing, the other will sink away into the sand. In Emerald, however, while the player can only choose one initially at the [[Mirage Tower]], they can retrieve the other later at the end of the [[Desert Underpass]]. In the Generation I remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the player can obtain the same Fossils as in the original games: either the Helix or the Dome Fossil, and the Old Amber.

Additionally, {{p|Relicanth}} is also an ancient Pokémon which is partially Rock-type, and it can be considered a {{wp|living fossil}}. However, since it survived extinction for approximately a hundred million years and can be caught in the wild instead of being revived from a Fossil, it is rarely included in the Fossil Pokémon group.

[[Steven Stone]], a rock collector whose father is head of the Devon Corporation, has two Fossil Pokémon, {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}}. In {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Roxanne]] will eventually gain a Kabutops, an Omastar, and an Aerodactyl for her team. Also, in FireRed and LeafGreen, Lance continues to have Aerodactyl on his team.

In {{g|Colosseum}}'s Story Mode, various characters use the [[Hoenn]] Fossils, as well as Relicanth. The most famous of these users are [[Miror B.]] and [[Gonzap]], each of whom at some point has an Armaldo on his team. In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], this relative ubiquity is cut considerably, with Lileep, Anorith, Cradily, and Armaldo only appearing once. With that said, Relicanth deserves special mention as a member of [[Zook]]'s team, while an Aerodactyl will appear on [[Greevil]]'s team once his [[Shadow Pokémon]] have been Snagged.

FireRed and LeafGreen Fossils are obtained the same way as in Generation I, while Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Fossils may be revived by a scientist in the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]]. Newly resurrected Pokémon are level 20 in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and level 5 in FireRed and LeafGreen.

===[[Generation IV]]===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, two new Fossils were again introduced:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{sinnoh color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{sinnoh color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Skull Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|408|Cranidos}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Armor Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|410|Shieldon}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{rock color dark}}|Skull Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{steel color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{steel color dark}}|Armor Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be turned into level 20 Pokémon at the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]].

In Diamond and Pearl, for the first time in the series, the Fossils the player is able to receive are dependent on the version played: Skull Fossils are available in Diamond only and Armor Fossils in Pearl only. In Platinum, whichever Fossil a player digs up will depend on whether the Trainer ID is even or odd. If the Trainer ID is even, the player will dig up Armor Fossils only, and if the Trainer ID is odd, the player will dig up Skull Fossils only.

In [[Sinnoh]], when players travel [[the Underground|underground]], they can find most of the Fossils by digging, along with several other rare items, potentially. After getting the [[National Pokédex]], they can also find the five Fossils from the previous three generations. However, the chances of finding most of the previous generation Fossils, much like with several other items, follows a similar formula to the Sinnoh Fossils. This makes it easier to find certain Fossils which are found uncommonly, while the others become more difficult in the opposite version which instead are found very rarely. For example, the Helix and Claw Fossils have an easier chance to be found if the Skull Fossil is available, or the Dome and Root Fossil if the Armor Fossil is available. The Old Amber is the only Fossil whose ratio remains unchanged regardless of version as it will always be found rarely.

In [[Johto]]'s [[Generation IV]] games, the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Helix Fossil|Helix]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils as well as the [[Old Amber]] can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s outside [[Ruins of Alph]]. [[Root Fossil|Root]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Claw Fossil|Claw]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the [[Cliff Cave]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Fossils found in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} can be revived as level 20 Pokémon at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. The Skull and Armor Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon revived from them, must be transferred from Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.

In this generation, Fossils are considered to be normal items. As such, they can be held by a Pokémon and traded to another game.

[[Roark]] has a Cranidos, while his father, [[Byron]], has a {{p|Bastiodon}}. {{p|Rampardos}} and Shieldon are also used by two minor Trainers. In the post-Elite Four stage of the games, {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be spotted with another Trainer.

As in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, [[Brock]] has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} on his team in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and also uses a Rampardos in rematches. [[Lance]] continues to have Aerodactyl on his initial team, but it is not used in rematches.

===[[Generation V]]===
{{game|Black and White|s}} once again brought a new set of Fossils to the Pokémon world:

These Fossils can be revived into level 25 Pokémon using a machine in the [[Nacrene City]] Museum.

In Pokémon Black and White, one of these two Fossils will be given away by a person in [[Relic Castle]], similar to how the Helix and Dome Fossils are originally obtained in the Kanto-based games.

In the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|sequels]] to these games, the fossils are instead given away by former Gym Leader [[Lenora]].

In [[Chargestone Cave]], a couple of {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s battle with a {{p|Tirtouga}} and an {{p|Archen}}. In Black 2 and White 2, two {{tc|Backpacker}}s on {{rt|1|Unova}} also use teams entirely made out of Fossil Pokémon.

The two final evolutions of the Fossil Pokémon released in this generation ({{p|Carracosta}} and {{p|Archeops}}) are used by [[N]] in the final battle against him in [[N's Castle]].

After defeating [[Ghetsis]]{{sup/5|BW}} or [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, Fossils of previous generations will be given out by a {{tc|Worker}} in [[Twist Mountain]], with one being given out per day.

While it cannot be revived via fossil, {{p|Genesect}} is known to have been created by [[Team Plasma]] by reviving a prehistoric Pokémon and upgrading it by attaching a cannon to its back.

===[[Generation VI]]===
Two Fossil Pokémon were introduced for {{g|X and Y}}.

| style="background:#{{ice color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{ice color dark}}|Sail Fossil}}
|}

One of the two Fossils is given to the player in [[Glittering Cave]] and can be restored at the research facility in [[Ambrette Town]]. The resulting Pokémon are level 20. The [[Old Amber]] can also be collected after this by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the back of Glittering Cave.

Gym Leader [[Grant]] uses {{p|Tyrunt}} and {{p|Amaura}} and their evolved forms in subsequent rematches. Champion [[Diantha]] also uses {{p|Tyrantrum}} and {{p|Aurorus}}.

After defeating the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Kalos|Elite Four}}, the player can return to Glittering Cave and smash rocks to find the Skull, Armor, Plume, and Cover Fossils, regardless of version, as well as Root and Claw Fossils{{sup/6|X}} or Dome and Helix Fossils{{sup/6|Y}}.

In Hoenn's Generation VI games, the Root and Claw Fossil are collected and restored the same way as the original Ruby and Sapphire games. Restoring fossils can be done at the second floor of the [[Devon Corporation]]. During the post-game, a number of other fossils can be collected by smashing [[breakable rock]]s at the [[Mirage spot]]s. While the Old Amber can be found regardless of version, the Dome, Armor, and Plume Fossils are exclusive to Omega Ruby and the Helix, Skull, and Cover Fossils are exclusive to Alpha Sapphire. The Jaw and Sail Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon that are revived from them, must be transferred from X and Y.

===[[Generation VII]]===
Generation VII introduces no new Fossils, but the player may obtain most of the previous Fossils depending on the game. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], only the fossils from Sinnoh and Unova are available. Their location is at [[Olivia]]'s jewelry shop in [[Konikoni City]], where the player can buy a [[Skull Fossil]] and a [[Cover Fossil]] in Pokémon Sun or an [[Armor Fossil]] and a [[Plume Fossil]] in Pokémon Moon.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], this has been expanded to include more of the previous fossils which were absent from the original games. The [[Helix Fossil|Helix]], [[Claw Fossil|Claw]], and [[Jaw Fossil|Jaw]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Skull and Cover Fossils in Ultra Sun, and the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]], [[Root Fossil|Root]], and [[Sail Fossil|Sail]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Armor and Plume Fossils in Ultra Moon. Additionally, unlike the original games, any of these fossils can now also be obtained from Isle Aphun at [[Poké Pelago]] regardless of version. This is done from conducting a Rare Treasure-Hunting expedition (or an Interesting Item-Hunting expedition once the island has reached Development Level 3), where any of these fossils have a very rare chance of being obtained.

The Fossils can be revived at the Fossil Restoration Center on {{rt|8|Alola}}. The newly revived Pokémon come at level 15.

Unlike the other Fossils, the [[Old Amber]] is unobtainable in [[Alola]]. Instead, an {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be obtained at [[Seafolk Village]] as a [[gift Pokémon]].

Several minor Trainers use some of these Fossil Pokémon or their evolved forms as part of their teams. In addition for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon only, [[Olivia]] uses both {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Anorith}} during her grand trial. Later, when the player faces Olivia at the {{al|Pokémon League}}, they have evolved into {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}} respectively as part of her upgraded team.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], all the Kanto Fossils are obtainable in the same locations as they were in Generations I and III. In addition, more of them can be found on the second floor of [[Cerulean Cave]], where random rare items spawn occasionally.

The only notable Trainer who uses a Fossil Pokémon in these games is {{ga|Blue}}, who uses an Aerodactyl as a part of his team when rematched at the [[Viridian Gym]].

===[[Generation VIII]]===
Generation VIII introduced four new fossils, the most of any generation. Reviving fossils in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] is a much different process than it has been in the past generations, as the process requires two completely different fossils then combined together to form a chimeric Fossil Pokémon.

|}

The Fossils can be combined by [[Cara Liss]] on {{rt|6|Galar}}. The resulting Pokémon are level 10.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Dome Fossil anime.png|thumb|250px|Dome Fossil in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Sunkern leaf fossil.png|thumb|250px|A fossilized {{p|Sunkern}} leaf in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, most Fossil Pokémon are in fact, not extinct, but have simply been hibernating underground for millions of years, as seen in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]'', and ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''. However, [[Professor Proctor]] and {{Gary}} have both used research to directly revive Fossil Pokémon, as seen in ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]'' and ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', respectively. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, where Fossils of ancient Pokémon are resurrected into the skeletons of the prehistoric using a machine that recreates the missing organs that had decomposed away from the genes extracted in the remains, this Aerodactyl was in fact completely revived from a Fossil that was fully preserved inside of an Old Amber for millions of years and thus still had the memories of its past life.

[[Butler]] tried to create a {{p|Groudon}} for [[Team Magma]] in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' from a fossilized remnant, but the experiment failed and Butler left Team Magma.

[[Roark]], as he does in the {{pkmn|games}}, has a Cranidos which evolves into a {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. This Pokémon, as well as several other Fossil Pokémon, appear in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]'', ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'', and ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''. [[Byron]], his father, also has quite a collection in [[Canalave Gym|his Gym]]. This includes the Fossil Pokémon {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, and {{p|Armaldo}}, as well as a giant Claw Fossil. He also kept a {{p|Sunkern}} leaf Fossil that Roark found when he was a child.

In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', a {{p|Kabuto}} Fossil was first seen chasing [[Hawes]], as he claimed it to be doing, but was later seen safely placed in a display case. Hawes later explained what it was to the trio. It was later revealed that the {{p|Yamask}} in the Nacrene City Museum was using its move {{m|Psychic}} to make the Dome Fossil float and chase after Hawes after he put its mask in a display case, thinking that it was a replica Yamask mask given to him as a gift from the company that made a {{p|Cofagrigus}} replica after purchasing it from them for the museum.

[[Lenora]] gave a Plume Fossil to [[Professor Juniper]] and [[Fennel]] prior to ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]''. They successfully resurrected a female {{p|Archen}} from the Fossil using {{p|Musharna}}'s dream energy. With the help of {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Tranquill}}, Archen learned how to fly and then evolved into {{p|Archeops}}.

{{an|Kiawe}} found two fossils in ''[[SM032|Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!]]'', during the [[Poké Ride|Stoutland Search]] treasure hunt set up for Ash and his classmates by [[Olivia]]. On the first round, he found a Skull Fossil, and on the second one, he found a Plume Fossil.
{{-}}

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Super Nerd PO.png|thumb|250px|Dome and Helix Fossils in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The Dome and Helix Fossils were seen briefly in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', being hogged by a {{tc|Super Nerd}} whom {{OBP|Red|Origins}} encountered on [[Mt. Moon]].

In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', Red was seen using a {{p|Kabutops}} in his battle against [[Giovanni]], presumably revived from a Dome Fossil. Since Red is mentioned to have caught all 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon (excluding {{p|Mew}}) by the time of ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', it means that he has also obtained the other Kanto Fossil Pokémon, presumably also revived from Fossils. As {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} was mentioned to have collected 148 Pokémon, it is likely that he had also collected all Kanto Fossil Pokémon.

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section|other manga}}
[[File:Old Amber revive.png|150px|right|thumb|{{p|Aerodactyl}} being revived from [[Old Amber]] in [[Blaine]]'s lab]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Lance and Brock both have Fossil Pokémon, just as in the games. Misty also temporarily has an {{p|Omanyte}}, but she gives this to {{adv|Yellow}}. In addition, {{adv|Red}} uses [[Blaine]]'s laboratory to revive an [[Aero]]dactyl. In [[Hoenn]], {{adv|Ruby}} fights a revived {{p|Lileep}} and an {{p|Anorith}} at [[Professor Cozmo]]'s laboratory in [[Fallarbor Town]]. In [[Sinnoh]], [[Roark]] has a {{p|Cranidos}} like in the games, and [[Byron|his father]] a [[Don|Shieldon]], which he later gives to {{adv|Diamond}}. In [[Unova]], [[N]] had an {{p|Archeops}}, which he released, and {{adv|Black}} has a [[Costa|Carracosta]], given to him by [[Marshal]] as a {{p|Tirtouga}}. {{adv|Blake}} also has a {{p|Kabutops}}. In [[Kalos]], [[Grant]] has an {{p|Aurorus}} and a {{p|Tyrantrum}}.

==In the TCG==
All Fossils have appeared in the TCG at one point or another, usually being released in the same expansion as the Pokémon which are revived from them, and being released as {{TCG|Trainer card}}s. Initially, only the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} card existed, which could be evolved into any of the three Generation I Fossil Pokémon; however, its use was eventually discontinued in favor of individual {{TCG|Dome Fossil}}, {{TCG|Helix Fossil}}, and {{TCG|Old Amber}} cards to match the {{TCG|Claw Fossil|Claw}}, {{TCG|Root Fossil|Root}}, {{TCG|Skull Fossil|Skull}}, {{TCG|Armor Fossil|Armor}}, {{TCG|Cover Fossil|Cover}}, {{TCG|Plume Fossil|Plume}}, {{TCG|Jaw Fossil|Jaw}}, and {{TCG|Sail Fossil|Sail}} Fossil cards. {{TCG|Ultra Prism}} brought the return of a shared Trainer card which could evolve into any Fossil Pokémon released during the Sun & Moon Series, this time known as {{TCG|Unidentified Fossil}}.

In addition, there are some other Fossil (related) cards, like {{TCG|Buried Fossil}} from {{TCG|Skyridge}} (the only non-Trainer Fossil cards, which is a {{TCG|Colorless}} {{e|Colorless}} type Pokémon instead); {{TCG|Fossil Egg}} from {{TCG|Neo Discovery}}; and {{TCG|Holon Fossil}} from {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}.

==Trivia==
* The [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon are the only {{type|Rock}} Pokémon of that generation that are not part {{type|Ground}}.
* {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Rampardos}} are the only Fossil Pokémon that are pure-Rock type.
* {{p|Tirtouga}} and {{p|Carracosta}} are the only Fossil Pokémon to have Rock as their secondary type.
* {{p|Archen}} and {{p|Archeops}} are the only Fossil Pokémon without Hidden Abilities.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only Fossil Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
** It is also the only Rock type one which doesn't evolve normally.
* [[Generation VIII]] is the first generation to have fossil Pokémon that aren't Rock types or capable of {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* The Fossilized Drake and Fossilized Fish appear to have a Inventory sprite mix up, as the Fossilized Fish offers the "-vish" head for [[Arctovish]] and [[Dracovish]], but the item itself looks more like the Draco- body, with the same being said for the Fossilized Drake looking like the "-vish" head but offers instead the "Draco-" body for Dracovish and [[Dracozolt]].

Jsphmagana: /* Generation VIII */

{{samename|the TCG set|Fossil (TCG)}}
----
A '''Fossil''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|化石|カセキ}}''' ''Fossil'') is a trace or piece of an organism from the past, such as a skeleton, shell, or leaf, preserved in the earth.

In the [[Pokémon world]], Fossils of prehistoric Pokémon are [[item]]s which can be revived into living Pokémon using techniques developed by the [[Devon Corporation]] and a research laboratory on [[Cinnabar Island]]. The two institutions purportedly developed their techniques independently of each other at around the same time. There are also other scientists around the Pokémon world who can revive Fossils using these techniques.

Pokémon revived from Fossils are commonly called Fossil Pokémon.

==In the games==
Scientists who can revive Fossils can be found in every [[core series]] game except the [[Generation II]] games.
* [[Kanto]]: [[Cinnabar Lab]]{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}} or [[Pewter Museum of Science]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}
* [[Hoenn]]: [[Devon Corporation]]
* [[Sinnoh]]: [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]]
* [[Unova]]: {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}}
* [[Kalos]]: [[Ambrette Town#Fossil Lab|Ambrette Fossil Lab]]
* [[Alola]]: {{DL|Alola Route 8|Fossil Restoration Center}}
* [[Galar]]: {{rt|6|Galar}}

Prior to Generation IV, Fossils were Key Items. However, from Generation IV and on, they are normal items, meaning that they can be traded freely between games. The table below summarizes the natural availability of the Fossils in the core series games.

In the games, relatively few [[Pokémon Trainer]]s possess Pokémon revived from Fossils, since they are considered rare and difficult to obtain.

===[[Generation I]]===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the first three Fossils were introduced. They have also appeared in most of the later games. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kanto color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Helix Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|138|Omanyte}}

| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Old Amber Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|142|Aerodactyl}}
|-
| style="background:#{{water color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{water color dark}}|Helix Fossil}}

| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{flying color dark}}|Old Amber|Old Amber}}
|}

The Helix and Dome Fossils are chosen at the end of [[Mt. Moon]], being guarded by a Super Nerd, but the player may only choose one to keep. The other one that the Super Nerd takes will be revived and put on display in the Safari Zone. The Old Amber is located in the secret part of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], which can only be accessed with [[HM01]] Cut.

A scientist in the Pokémon Lab on [[Cinnabar Island]] can revive the Fossils. The resulting Pokémon are level 30.

During this generation (and their [[Generation III]] {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remakes|s}}), all Fossils are Key Items, and cannot be traded to other games to be revived.

[[Lance]] is the first Trainer to be seen with a Fossil Pokémon, possessing an Aerodactyl due to its {{t|Dragon|draconic}} appearance.

===[[Generation II]]===
No new Fossils were introduced in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and these games have no means by which to revive or acquire Fossils. However, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}} are prominently featured in the puzzles located at [[Ruins of Alph]]. Of the three, only Aerodactyl is actually obtainable in the games via an in-game [[trade]] with an NPC in Kanto (for {{p|Chansey}}). Omanyte and Kabuto must be traded from Generation I.

[[Lance]], who is now the [[Pokémon Champion]], continues to have an Aerodactyl on his team. In addition, [[Brock]], being a Fossil enthusiast, has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} in this generation's games, as well as the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium games]] in [[Gym Leader Castle]]. His fondness of Fossils is referenced again in the next generation of games when a man in [[Mt. Moon]] mentions that Brock helps excavate Fossils at the location, which implies that he excavated Omastar and Kabutops's Fossils himself.

===[[Generation III]]===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, two new Fossils were introduced. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{hoenn color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{hoenn color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Root Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|345|Lileep}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Claw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|347|Anorith}}
|-
| style="background:#{{grass color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{grass color dark}}|Root Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{bug color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{bug color dark}}|Claw Fossil}}
|}

In Ruby and Sapphire, the player can choose one of either the Root or Claw Fossils at {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, and upon choosing, the other will sink away into the sand. In Emerald, however, while the player can only choose one initially at the [[Mirage Tower]], they can retrieve the other later at the end of the [[Desert Underpass]]. In the Generation I remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the player can obtain the same Fossils as in the original games: either the Helix or the Dome Fossil, and the Old Amber.

Additionally, {{p|Relicanth}} is also an ancient Pokémon which is partially Rock-type, and it can be considered a {{wp|living fossil}}. However, since it survived extinction for approximately a hundred million years and can be caught in the wild instead of being revived from a Fossil, it is rarely included in the Fossil Pokémon group.

[[Steven Stone]], a rock collector whose father is head of the Devon Corporation, has two Fossil Pokémon, {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}}. In {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Roxanne]] will eventually gain a Kabutops, an Omastar, and an Aerodactyl for her team. Also, in FireRed and LeafGreen, Lance continues to have Aerodactyl on his team.

In {{g|Colosseum}}'s Story Mode, various characters use the [[Hoenn]] Fossils, as well as Relicanth. The most famous of these users are [[Miror B.]] and [[Gonzap]], each of whom at some point has an Armaldo on his team. In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], this relative ubiquity is cut considerably, with Lileep, Anorith, Cradily, and Armaldo only appearing once. With that said, Relicanth deserves special mention as a member of [[Zook]]'s team, while an Aerodactyl will appear on [[Greevil]]'s team once his [[Shadow Pokémon]] have been Snagged.

FireRed and LeafGreen Fossils are obtained the same way as in Generation I, while Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Fossils may be revived by a scientist in the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]]. Newly resurrected Pokémon are level 20 in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and level 5 in FireRed and LeafGreen.

===[[Generation IV]]===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, two new Fossils were again introduced:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{sinnoh color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{sinnoh color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Skull Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|408|Cranidos}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Armor Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|410|Shieldon}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{rock color dark}}|Skull Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{steel color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{steel color dark}}|Armor Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be turned into level 20 Pokémon at the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]].

In Diamond and Pearl, for the first time in the series, the Fossils the player is able to receive are dependent on the version played: Skull Fossils are available in Diamond only and Armor Fossils in Pearl only. In Platinum, whichever Fossil a player digs up will depend on whether the Trainer ID is even or odd. If the Trainer ID is even, the player will dig up Armor Fossils only, and if the Trainer ID is odd, the player will dig up Skull Fossils only.

In [[Sinnoh]], when players travel [[the Underground|underground]], they can find most of the Fossils by digging, along with several other rare items, potentially. After getting the [[National Pokédex]], they can also find the five Fossils from the previous three generations. However, the chances of finding most of the previous generation Fossils, much like with several other items, follows a similar formula to the Sinnoh Fossils. This makes it easier to find certain Fossils which are found uncommonly, while the others become more difficult in the opposite version which instead are found very rarely. For example, the Helix and Claw Fossils have an easier chance to be found if the Skull Fossil is available, or the Dome and Root Fossil if the Armor Fossil is available. The Old Amber is the only Fossil whose ratio remains unchanged regardless of version as it will always be found rarely.

In [[Johto]]'s [[Generation IV]] games, the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Helix Fossil|Helix]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils as well as the [[Old Amber]] can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s outside [[Ruins of Alph]]. [[Root Fossil|Root]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Claw Fossil|Claw]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the [[Cliff Cave]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Fossils found in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} can be revived as level 20 Pokémon at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. The Skull and Armor Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon revived from them, must be transferred from Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.

In this generation, Fossils are considered to be normal items. As such, they can be held by a Pokémon and traded to another game.

[[Roark]] has a Cranidos, while his father, [[Byron]], has a {{p|Bastiodon}}. {{p|Rampardos}} and Shieldon are also used by two minor Trainers. In the post-Elite Four stage of the games, {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be spotted with another Trainer.

As in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, [[Brock]] has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} on his team in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and also uses a Rampardos in rematches. [[Lance]] continues to have Aerodactyl on his initial team, but it is not used in rematches.

===[[Generation V]]===
{{game|Black and White|s}} once again brought a new set of Fossils to the Pokémon world:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{unova color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{unova color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{water color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Cover Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|564|Tirtouga}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Plume Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|566|Archen}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{rock color dark}}|Cover Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{flying color dark}}|Plume Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be revived into level 25 Pokémon using a machine in the [[Nacrene City]] Museum.

In Pokémon Black and White, one of these two Fossils will be given away by a person in [[Relic Castle]], similar to how the Helix and Dome Fossils are originally obtained in the Kanto-based games.

In the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|sequels]] to these games, the fossils are instead given away by former Gym Leader [[Lenora]].

In [[Chargestone Cave]], a couple of {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s battle with a {{p|Tirtouga}} and an {{p|Archen}}. In Black 2 and White 2, two {{tc|Backpacker}}s on {{rt|1|Unova}} also use teams entirely made out of Fossil Pokémon.

The two final evolutions of the Fossil Pokémon released in this generation ({{p|Carracosta}} and {{p|Archeops}}) are used by [[N]] in the final battle against him in [[N's Castle]].

After defeating [[Ghetsis]]{{sup/5|BW}} or [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, Fossils of previous generations will be given out by a {{tc|Worker}} in [[Twist Mountain]], with one being given out per day.

While it cannot be revived via fossil, {{p|Genesect}} is known to have been created by [[Team Plasma]] by reviving a prehistoric Pokémon and upgrading it by attaching a cannon to its back.

===[[Generation VI]]===
Two Fossil Pokémon were introduced for {{g|X and Y}}.

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kalos color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{kalos color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Jaw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|696|Tyrunt}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Sail Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|698|Amaura}}
|-
| style="background:#{{dragon color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{dragon color dark}}|Jaw Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{ice color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{ice color dark}}|Sail Fossil}}
|}

One of the two Fossils is given to the player in [[Glittering Cave]] and can be restored at the research facility in [[Ambrette Town]]. The resulting Pokémon are level 20. The [[Old Amber]] can also be collected after this by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the back of Glittering Cave.

Gym Leader [[Grant]] uses {{p|Tyrunt}} and {{p|Amaura}} and their evolved forms in subsequent rematches. Champion [[Diantha]] also uses {{p|Tyrantrum}} and {{p|Aurorus}}.

After defeating the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Kalos|Elite Four}}, the player can return to Glittering Cave and smash rocks to find the Skull, Armor, Plume, and Cover Fossils, regardless of version, as well as Root and Claw Fossils{{sup/6|X}} or Dome and Helix Fossils{{sup/6|Y}}.

In Hoenn's Generation VI games, the Root and Claw Fossil are collected and restored the same way as the original Ruby and Sapphire games. Restoring fossils can be done at the second floor of the [[Devon Corporation]]. During the post-game, a number of other fossils can be collected by smashing [[breakable rock]]s at the [[Mirage spot]]s. While the Old Amber can be found regardless of version, the Dome, Armor, and Plume Fossils are exclusive to Omega Ruby and the Helix, Skull, and Cover Fossils are exclusive to Alpha Sapphire. The Jaw and Sail Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon that are revived from them, must be transferred from X and Y.

===[[Generation VII]]===
Generation VII introduces no new Fossils, but the player may obtain most of the previous Fossils depending on the game. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], only the fossils from Sinnoh and Unova are available. Their location is at [[Olivia]]'s jewelry shop in [[Konikoni City]], where the player can buy a [[Skull Fossil]] and a [[Cover Fossil]] in Pokémon Sun or an [[Armor Fossil]] and a [[Plume Fossil]] in Pokémon Moon.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], this has been expanded to include more of the previous fossils which were absent from the original games. The [[Helix Fossil|Helix]], [[Claw Fossil|Claw]], and [[Jaw Fossil|Jaw]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Skull and Cover Fossils in Ultra Sun, and the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]], [[Root Fossil|Root]], and [[Sail Fossil|Sail]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Armor and Plume Fossils in Ultra Moon. Additionally, unlike the original games, any of these fossils can now also be obtained from Isle Aphun at [[Poké Pelago]] regardless of version. This is done from conducting a Rare Treasure-Hunting expedition (or an Interesting Item-Hunting expedition once the island has reached Development Level 3), where any of these fossils have a very rare chance of being obtained.

The Fossils can be revived at the Fossil Restoration Center on {{rt|8|Alola}}. The newly revived Pokémon come at level 15.

Unlike the other Fossils, the [[Old Amber]] is unobtainable in [[Alola]]. Instead, an {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be obtained at [[Seafolk Village]] as a [[gift Pokémon]].

Several minor Trainers use some of these Fossil Pokémon or their evolved forms as part of their teams. In addition for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon only, [[Olivia]] uses both {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Anorith}} during her grand trial. Later, when the player faces Olivia at the {{al|Pokémon League}}, they have evolved into {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}} respectively as part of her upgraded team.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], all the Kanto Fossils are obtainable in the same locations as they were in Generations I and III. In addition, more of them can be found on the second floor of [[Cerulean Cave]], where random rare items spawn occasionally.

The only notable Trainer who uses a Fossil Pokémon in these games is {{ga|Blue}}, who uses an Aerodactyl as a part of his team when rematched at the [[Viridian Gym]].

===[[Generation VIII]]===
Generation VIII introduced four new fossils, the most of any generation. Reviving fossils in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] is a much different process than it has been in the past generations, as the process requires two completely different fossils then combined together to form a chimeric Fossil Pokémon.

| style="background:#{{ice color light}}; color:#{{ice color dark}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{ice color dark}}|Fossilized Fish}} + {{color2|{{ice color dark}}|Fossilized Dino}}
|}

The Fossils can be combined by [[Cara Liss]] on {{rt|6|Galar}}. The resulting Pokémon are level 10.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Dome Fossil anime.png|thumb|250px|Dome Fossil in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Sunkern leaf fossil.png|thumb|250px|A fossilized {{p|Sunkern}} leaf in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, most Fossil Pokémon are in fact, not extinct, but have simply been hibernating underground for millions of years, as seen in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]'', and ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''. However, [[Professor Proctor]] and {{Gary}} have both used research to directly revive Fossil Pokémon, as seen in ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]'' and ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', respectively. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, where Fossils of ancient Pokémon are resurrected into the skeletons of the prehistoric using a machine that recreates the missing organs that had decomposed away from the genes extracted in the remains, this Aerodactyl was in fact completely revived from a Fossil that was fully preserved inside of an Old Amber for millions of years and thus still had the memories of its past life.

[[Butler]] tried to create a {{p|Groudon}} for [[Team Magma]] in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' from a fossilized remnant, but the experiment failed and Butler left Team Magma.

[[Roark]], as he does in the {{pkmn|games}}, has a Cranidos which evolves into a {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. This Pokémon, as well as several other Fossil Pokémon, appear in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]'', ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'', and ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''. [[Byron]], his father, also has quite a collection in [[Canalave Gym|his Gym]]. This includes the Fossil Pokémon {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, and {{p|Armaldo}}, as well as a giant Claw Fossil. He also kept a {{p|Sunkern}} leaf Fossil that Roark found when he was a child.

In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', a {{p|Kabuto}} Fossil was first seen chasing [[Hawes]], as he claimed it to be doing, but was later seen safely placed in a display case. Hawes later explained what it was to the trio. It was later revealed that the {{p|Yamask}} in the Nacrene City Museum was using its move {{m|Psychic}} to make the Dome Fossil float and chase after Hawes after he put its mask in a display case, thinking that it was a replica Yamask mask given to him as a gift from the company that made a {{p|Cofagrigus}} replica after purchasing it from them for the museum.

[[Lenora]] gave a Plume Fossil to [[Professor Juniper]] and [[Fennel]] prior to ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]''. They successfully resurrected a female {{p|Archen}} from the Fossil using {{p|Musharna}}'s dream energy. With the help of {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Tranquill}}, Archen learned how to fly and then evolved into {{p|Archeops}}.

{{an|Kiawe}} found two fossils in ''[[SM032|Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!]]'', during the [[Poké Ride|Stoutland Search]] treasure hunt set up for Ash and his classmates by [[Olivia]]. On the first round, he found a Skull Fossil, and on the second one, he found a Plume Fossil.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Super Nerd PO.png|thumb|250px|Dome and Helix Fossils in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The Dome and Helix Fossils were seen briefly in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', being hogged by a {{tc|Super Nerd}} whom {{OBP|Red|Origins}} encountered on [[Mt. Moon]].

In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', Red was seen using a {{p|Kabutops}} in his battle against [[Giovanni]], presumably revived from a Dome Fossil. Since Red is mentioned to have caught all 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon (excluding {{p|Mew}}) by the time of ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', it means that he has also obtained the other Kanto Fossil Pokémon, presumably also revived from Fossils. As {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} was mentioned to have collected 148 Pokémon, it is likely that he had also collected all Kanto Fossil Pokémon.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Lance and Brock both have Fossil Pokémon, just as in the games. Misty also temporarily has an {{p|Omanyte}}, but she gives this to {{adv|Yellow}}. In addition, {{adv|Red}} uses [[Blaine]]'s laboratory to revive an [[Aero]]dactyl. In [[Hoenn]], {{adv|Ruby}} fights a revived {{p|Lileep}} and an {{p|Anorith}} at [[Professor Cozmo]]'s laboratory in [[Fallarbor Town]]. In [[Sinnoh]], [[Roark]] has a {{p|Cranidos}} like in the games, and [[Byron|his father]] a [[Don|Shieldon]], which he later gives to {{adv|Diamond}}. In [[Unova]], [[N]] had an {{p|Archeops}}, which he released, and {{adv|Black}} has a [[Costa|Carracosta]], given to him by [[Marshal]] as a {{p|Tirtouga}}. {{adv|Blake}} also has a {{p|Kabutops}}. In [[Kalos]], [[Grant]] has an {{p|Aurorus}} and a {{p|Tyrantrum}}.

==In the TCG==
All Fossils have appeared in the TCG at one point or another, usually being released in the same expansion as the Pokémon which are revived from them, and being released as {{TCG|Trainer card}}s. Initially, only the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} card existed, which could be evolved into any of the three Generation I Fossil Pokémon; however, its use was eventually discontinued in favor of individual {{TCG|Dome Fossil}}, {{TCG|Helix Fossil}}, and {{TCG|Old Amber}} cards to match the {{TCG|Claw Fossil|Claw}}, {{TCG|Root Fossil|Root}}, {{TCG|Skull Fossil|Skull}}, {{TCG|Armor Fossil|Armor}}, {{TCG|Cover Fossil|Cover}}, {{TCG|Plume Fossil|Plume}}, {{TCG|Jaw Fossil|Jaw}}, and {{TCG|Sail Fossil|Sail}} Fossil cards. {{TCG|Ultra Prism}} brought the return of a shared Trainer card which could evolve into any Fossil Pokémon released during the Sun & Moon Series, this time known as {{TCG|Unidentified Fossil}}.

In addition, there are some other Fossil (related) cards, like {{TCG|Buried Fossil}} from {{TCG|Skyridge}} (the only non-Trainer Fossil cards, which is a {{TCG|Colorless}} {{e|Colorless}} type Pokémon instead); {{TCG|Fossil Egg}} from {{TCG|Neo Discovery}}; and {{TCG|Holon Fossil}} from {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}.

==Trivia==
* The [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon are the only {{type|Rock}} Pokémon of that generation that are not part {{type|Ground}}.
* {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Rampardos}} are the only Fossil Pokémon that are pure-Rock type.
* {{p|Tirtouga}} and {{p|Carracosta}} are the only Fossil Pokémon to have Rock as their secondary type.
* {{p|Archen}} and {{p|Archeops}} are the only Fossil Pokémon without Hidden Abilities.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only Fossil Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
** It is also the only Rock type one which doesn't evolve normally.
* [[Generation VIII]] is the first generation to have fossil Pokémon that aren't Rock types or capable of {{pkmn|breeding}}.

Jsphmagana: /* In the games */

{{samename|the TCG set|Fossil (TCG)}}
----
A '''Fossil''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|化石|カセキ}}''' ''Fossil'') is a trace or piece of an organism from the past, such as a skeleton, shell, or leaf, preserved in the earth.

In the [[Pokémon world]], Fossils of prehistoric Pokémon are [[item]]s which can be revived into living Pokémon using techniques developed by the [[Devon Corporation]] and a research laboratory on [[Cinnabar Island]]. The two institutions purportedly developed their techniques independently of each other at around the same time. There are also other scientists around the Pokémon world who can revive Fossils using these techniques.

Pokémon revived from Fossils are commonly called Fossil Pokémon.

==In the games==
Scientists who can revive Fossils can be found in every [[core series]] game except the [[Generation II]] games.

Prior to Generation IV, Fossils were Key Items. However, from Generation IV and on, they are normal items, meaning that they can be traded freely between games. The table below summarizes the natural availability of the Fossils in the core series games.

In the games, relatively few [[Pokémon Trainer]]s possess Pokémon revived from Fossils, since they are considered rare and difficult to obtain.

===[[Generation I]]===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the first three Fossils were introduced. They have also appeared in most of the later games. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kanto color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Helix Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|138|Omanyte}}

| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Old Amber Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|142|Aerodactyl}}
|-
| style="background:#{{water color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{water color dark}}|Helix Fossil}}

| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{flying color dark}}|Old Amber|Old Amber}}
|}

The Helix and Dome Fossils are chosen at the end of [[Mt. Moon]], being guarded by a Super Nerd, but the player may only choose one to keep. The other one that the Super Nerd takes will be revived and put on display in the Safari Zone. The Old Amber is located in the secret part of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], which can only be accessed with [[HM01]] Cut.

A scientist in the Pokémon Lab on [[Cinnabar Island]] can revive the Fossils. The resulting Pokémon are level 30.

During this generation (and their [[Generation III]] {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remakes|s}}), all Fossils are Key Items, and cannot be traded to other games to be revived.

[[Lance]] is the first Trainer to be seen with a Fossil Pokémon, possessing an Aerodactyl due to its {{t|Dragon|draconic}} appearance.

===[[Generation II]]===
No new Fossils were introduced in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and these games have no means by which to revive or acquire Fossils. However, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}} are prominently featured in the puzzles located at [[Ruins of Alph]]. Of the three, only Aerodactyl is actually obtainable in the games via an in-game [[trade]] with an NPC in Kanto (for {{p|Chansey}}). Omanyte and Kabuto must be traded from Generation I.

[[Lance]], who is now the [[Pokémon Champion]], continues to have an Aerodactyl on his team. In addition, [[Brock]], being a Fossil enthusiast, has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} in this generation's games, as well as the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium games]] in [[Gym Leader Castle]]. His fondness of Fossils is referenced again in the next generation of games when a man in [[Mt. Moon]] mentions that Brock helps excavate Fossils at the location, which implies that he excavated Omastar and Kabutops's Fossils himself.

===[[Generation III]]===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, two new Fossils were introduced. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{hoenn color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{hoenn color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Root Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|345|Lileep}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Claw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|347|Anorith}}
|-
| style="background:#{{grass color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{grass color dark}}|Root Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{bug color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{bug color dark}}|Claw Fossil}}
|}

In Ruby and Sapphire, the player can choose one of either the Root or Claw Fossils at {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, and upon choosing, the other will sink away into the sand. In Emerald, however, while the player can only choose one initially at the [[Mirage Tower]], they can retrieve the other later at the end of the [[Desert Underpass]]. In the Generation I remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the player can obtain the same Fossils as in the original games: either the Helix or the Dome Fossil, and the Old Amber.

Additionally, {{p|Relicanth}} is also an ancient Pokémon which is partially Rock-type, and it can be considered a {{wp|living fossil}}. However, since it survived extinction for approximately a hundred million years and can be caught in the wild instead of being revived from a Fossil, it is rarely included in the Fossil Pokémon group.

[[Steven Stone]], a rock collector whose father is head of the Devon Corporation, has two Fossil Pokémon, {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}}. In {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Roxanne]] will eventually gain a Kabutops, an Omastar, and an Aerodactyl for her team. Also, in FireRed and LeafGreen, Lance continues to have Aerodactyl on his team.

In {{g|Colosseum}}'s Story Mode, various characters use the [[Hoenn]] Fossils, as well as Relicanth. The most famous of these users are [[Miror B.]] and [[Gonzap]], each of whom at some point has an Armaldo on his team. In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], this relative ubiquity is cut considerably, with Lileep, Anorith, Cradily, and Armaldo only appearing once. With that said, Relicanth deserves special mention as a member of [[Zook]]'s team, while an Aerodactyl will appear on [[Greevil]]'s team once his [[Shadow Pokémon]] have been Snagged.

FireRed and LeafGreen Fossils are obtained the same way as in Generation I, while Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Fossils may be revived by a scientist in the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]]. Newly resurrected Pokémon are level 20 in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and level 5 in FireRed and LeafGreen.

===[[Generation IV]]===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, two new Fossils were again introduced:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{sinnoh color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{sinnoh color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Skull Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|408|Cranidos}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Armor Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|410|Shieldon}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{rock color dark}}|Skull Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{steel color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{steel color dark}}|Armor Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be turned into level 20 Pokémon at the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]].

In Diamond and Pearl, for the first time in the series, the Fossils the player is able to receive are dependent on the version played: Skull Fossils are available in Diamond only and Armor Fossils in Pearl only. In Platinum, whichever Fossil a player digs up will depend on whether the Trainer ID is even or odd. If the Trainer ID is even, the player will dig up Armor Fossils only, and if the Trainer ID is odd, the player will dig up Skull Fossils only.

In [[Sinnoh]], when players travel [[the Underground|underground]], they can find most of the Fossils by digging, along with several other rare items, potentially. After getting the [[National Pokédex]], they can also find the five Fossils from the previous three generations. However, the chances of finding most of the previous generation Fossils, much like with several other items, follows a similar formula to the Sinnoh Fossils. This makes it easier to find certain Fossils which are found uncommonly, while the others become more difficult in the opposite version which instead are found very rarely. For example, the Helix and Claw Fossils have an easier chance to be found if the Skull Fossil is available, or the Dome and Root Fossil if the Armor Fossil is available. The Old Amber is the only Fossil whose ratio remains unchanged regardless of version as it will always be found rarely.

In [[Johto]]'s [[Generation IV]] games, the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Helix Fossil|Helix]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils as well as the [[Old Amber]] can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s outside [[Ruins of Alph]]. [[Root Fossil|Root]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Claw Fossil|Claw]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the [[Cliff Cave]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Fossils found in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} can be revived as level 20 Pokémon at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. The Skull and Armor Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon revived from them, must be transferred from Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.

In this generation, Fossils are considered to be normal items. As such, they can be held by a Pokémon and traded to another game.

[[Roark]] has a Cranidos, while his father, [[Byron]], has a {{p|Bastiodon}}. {{p|Rampardos}} and Shieldon are also used by two minor Trainers. In the post-Elite Four stage of the games, {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be spotted with another Trainer.

As in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, [[Brock]] has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} on his team in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and also uses a Rampardos in rematches. [[Lance]] continues to have Aerodactyl on his initial team, but it is not used in rematches.

===[[Generation V]]===
{{game|Black and White|s}} once again brought a new set of Fossils to the Pokémon world:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{unova color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{unova color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{water color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Cover Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|564|Tirtouga}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Plume Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|566|Archen}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{rock color dark}}|Cover Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{flying color dark}}|Plume Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be revived into level 25 Pokémon using a machine in the [[Nacrene City]] Museum.

In Pokémon Black and White, one of these two Fossils will be given away by a person in [[Relic Castle]], similar to how the Helix and Dome Fossils are originally obtained in the Kanto-based games.

In the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|sequels]] to these games, the fossils are instead given away by former Gym Leader [[Lenora]].

In [[Chargestone Cave]], a couple of {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s battle with a {{p|Tirtouga}} and an {{p|Archen}}. In Black 2 and White 2, two {{tc|Backpacker}}s on {{rt|1|Unova}} also use teams entirely made out of Fossil Pokémon.

The two final evolutions of the Fossil Pokémon released in this generation ({{p|Carracosta}} and {{p|Archeops}}) are used by [[N]] in the final battle against him in [[N's Castle]].

After defeating [[Ghetsis]]{{sup/5|BW}} or [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, Fossils of previous generations will be given out by a {{tc|Worker}} in [[Twist Mountain]], with one being given out per day.

While it cannot be revived via fossil, {{p|Genesect}} is known to have been created by [[Team Plasma]] by reviving a prehistoric Pokémon and upgrading it by attaching a cannon to its back.

===[[Generation VI]]===
Two Fossil Pokémon were introduced for {{g|X and Y}}.

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kalos color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{kalos color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Jaw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|696|Tyrunt}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Sail Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|698|Amaura}}
|-
| style="background:#{{dragon color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{dragon color dark}}|Jaw Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{ice color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{ice color dark}}|Sail Fossil}}
|}

One of the two Fossils is given to the player in [[Glittering Cave]] and can be restored at the research facility in [[Ambrette Town]]. The resulting Pokémon are level 20. The [[Old Amber]] can also be collected after this by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the back of Glittering Cave.

Gym Leader [[Grant]] uses {{p|Tyrunt}} and {{p|Amaura}} and their evolved forms in subsequent rematches. Champion [[Diantha]] also uses {{p|Tyrantrum}} and {{p|Aurorus}}.

After defeating the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Kalos|Elite Four}}, the player can return to Glittering Cave and smash rocks to find the Skull, Armor, Plume, and Cover Fossils, regardless of version, as well as Root and Claw Fossils{{sup/6|X}} or Dome and Helix Fossils{{sup/6|Y}}.

In Hoenn's Generation VI games, the Root and Claw Fossil are collected and restored the same way as the original Ruby and Sapphire games. Restoring fossils can be done at the second floor of the [[Devon Corporation]]. During the post-game, a number of other fossils can be collected by smashing [[breakable rock]]s at the [[Mirage spot]]s. While the Old Amber can be found regardless of version, the Dome, Armor, and Plume Fossils are exclusive to Omega Ruby and the Helix, Skull, and Cover Fossils are exclusive to Alpha Sapphire. The Jaw and Sail Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon that are revived from them, must be transferred from X and Y.

===[[Generation VII]]===
Generation VII introduces no new Fossils, but the player may obtain most of the previous Fossils depending on the game. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], only the fossils from Sinnoh and Unova are available. Their location is at [[Olivia]]'s jewelry shop in [[Konikoni City]], where the player can buy a [[Skull Fossil]] and a [[Cover Fossil]] in Pokémon Sun or an [[Armor Fossil]] and a [[Plume Fossil]] in Pokémon Moon.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], this has been expanded to include more of the previous fossils which were absent from the original games. The [[Helix Fossil|Helix]], [[Claw Fossil|Claw]], and [[Jaw Fossil|Jaw]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Skull and Cover Fossils in Ultra Sun, and the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]], [[Root Fossil|Root]], and [[Sail Fossil|Sail]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Armor and Plume Fossils in Ultra Moon. Additionally, unlike the original games, any of these fossils can now also be obtained from Isle Aphun at [[Poké Pelago]] regardless of version. This is done from conducting a Rare Treasure-Hunting expedition (or an Interesting Item-Hunting expedition once the island has reached Development Level 3), where any of these fossils have a very rare chance of being obtained.

The Fossils can be revived at the Fossil Restoration Center on {{rt|8|Alola}}. The newly revived Pokémon come at level 15.

Unlike the other Fossils, the [[Old Amber]] is unobtainable in [[Alola]]. Instead, an {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be obtained at [[Seafolk Village]] as a [[gift Pokémon]].

Several minor Trainers use some of these Fossil Pokémon or their evolved forms as part of their teams. In addition for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon only, [[Olivia]] uses both {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Anorith}} during her grand trial. Later, when the player faces Olivia at the {{al|Pokémon League}}, they have evolved into {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}} respectively as part of her upgraded team.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], all the Kanto Fossils are obtainable in the same locations as they were in Generations I and III. In addition, more of them can be found on the second floor of [[Cerulean Cave]], where random rare items spawn occasionally.

The only notable Trainer who uses a Fossil Pokémon in these games is {{ga|Blue}}, who uses an Aerodactyl as a part of his team when rematched at the [[Viridian Gym]].

===[[Generation VIII]]===
Generation VIII introduced four new fossils, the most of any generation. Reviving fossils in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] is a much different process than it has been in the past generations, as the process requires two completely different fossils then combined together to form a chimeric Fossil Pokémon.

The Fossils can be combined by [[Cara Liss]] on {{rt|6|Galar}}. The resulting Pokémon are level 10.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Dome Fossil anime.png|thumb|250px|Dome Fossil in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Sunkern leaf fossil.png|thumb|250px|A fossilized {{p|Sunkern}} leaf in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, most Fossil Pokémon are in fact, not extinct, but have simply been hibernating underground for millions of years, as seen in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]'', and ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''. However, [[Professor Proctor]] and {{Gary}} have both used research to directly revive Fossil Pokémon, as seen in ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]'' and ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', respectively. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, where Fossils of ancient Pokémon are resurrected into the skeletons of the prehistoric using a machine that recreates the missing organs that had decomposed away from the genes extracted in the remains, this Aerodactyl was in fact completely revived from a Fossil that was fully preserved inside of an Old Amber for millions of years and thus still had the memories of its past life.

[[Butler]] tried to create a {{p|Groudon}} for [[Team Magma]] in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' from a fossilized remnant, but the experiment failed and Butler left Team Magma.

[[Roark]], as he does in the {{pkmn|games}}, has a Cranidos which evolves into a {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. This Pokémon, as well as several other Fossil Pokémon, appear in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]'', ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'', and ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''. [[Byron]], his father, also has quite a collection in [[Canalave Gym|his Gym]]. This includes the Fossil Pokémon {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, and {{p|Armaldo}}, as well as a giant Claw Fossil. He also kept a {{p|Sunkern}} leaf Fossil that Roark found when he was a child.

In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', a {{p|Kabuto}} Fossil was first seen chasing [[Hawes]], as he claimed it to be doing, but was later seen safely placed in a display case. Hawes later explained what it was to the trio. It was later revealed that the {{p|Yamask}} in the Nacrene City Museum was using its move {{m|Psychic}} to make the Dome Fossil float and chase after Hawes after he put its mask in a display case, thinking that it was a replica Yamask mask given to him as a gift from the company that made a {{p|Cofagrigus}} replica after purchasing it from them for the museum.

[[Lenora]] gave a Plume Fossil to [[Professor Juniper]] and [[Fennel]] prior to ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]''. They successfully resurrected a female {{p|Archen}} from the Fossil using {{p|Musharna}}'s dream energy. With the help of {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Tranquill}}, Archen learned how to fly and then evolved into {{p|Archeops}}.

{{an|Kiawe}} found two fossils in ''[[SM032|Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!]]'', during the [[Poké Ride|Stoutland Search]] treasure hunt set up for Ash and his classmates by [[Olivia]]. On the first round, he found a Skull Fossil, and on the second one, he found a Plume Fossil.
{{-}}

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Super Nerd PO.png|thumb|250px|Dome and Helix Fossils in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The Dome and Helix Fossils were seen briefly in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', being hogged by a {{tc|Super Nerd}} whom {{OBP|Red|Origins}} encountered on [[Mt. Moon]].

In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', Red was seen using a {{p|Kabutops}} in his battle against [[Giovanni]], presumably revived from a Dome Fossil. Since Red is mentioned to have caught all 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon (excluding {{p|Mew}}) by the time of ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', it means that he has also obtained the other Kanto Fossil Pokémon, presumably also revived from Fossils. As {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} was mentioned to have collected 148 Pokémon, it is likely that he had also collected all Kanto Fossil Pokémon.

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section|other manga}}
[[File:Old Amber revive.png|150px|right|thumb|{{p|Aerodactyl}} being revived from [[Old Amber]] in [[Blaine]]'s lab]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Lance and Brock both have Fossil Pokémon, just as in the games. Misty also temporarily has an {{p|Omanyte}}, but she gives this to {{adv|Yellow}}. In addition, {{adv|Red}} uses [[Blaine]]'s laboratory to revive an [[Aero]]dactyl. In [[Hoenn]], {{adv|Ruby}} fights a revived {{p|Lileep}} and an {{p|Anorith}} at [[Professor Cozmo]]'s laboratory in [[Fallarbor Town]]. In [[Sinnoh]], [[Roark]] has a {{p|Cranidos}} like in the games, and [[Byron|his father]] a [[Don|Shieldon]], which he later gives to {{adv|Diamond}}. In [[Unova]], [[N]] had an {{p|Archeops}}, which he released, and {{adv|Black}} has a [[Costa|Carracosta]], given to him by [[Marshal]] as a {{p|Tirtouga}}. {{adv|Blake}} also has a {{p|Kabutops}}. In [[Kalos]], [[Grant]] has an {{p|Aurorus}} and a {{p|Tyrantrum}}.

==In the TCG==
All Fossils have appeared in the TCG at one point or another, usually being released in the same expansion as the Pokémon which are revived from them, and being released as {{TCG|Trainer card}}s. Initially, only the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} card existed, which could be evolved into any of the three Generation I Fossil Pokémon; however, its use was eventually discontinued in favor of individual {{TCG|Dome Fossil}}, {{TCG|Helix Fossil}}, and {{TCG|Old Amber}} cards to match the {{TCG|Claw Fossil|Claw}}, {{TCG|Root Fossil|Root}}, {{TCG|Skull Fossil|Skull}}, {{TCG|Armor Fossil|Armor}}, {{TCG|Cover Fossil|Cover}}, {{TCG|Plume Fossil|Plume}}, {{TCG|Jaw Fossil|Jaw}}, and {{TCG|Sail Fossil|Sail}} Fossil cards. {{TCG|Ultra Prism}} brought the return of a shared Trainer card which could evolve into any Fossil Pokémon released during the Sun & Moon Series, this time known as {{TCG|Unidentified Fossil}}.

In addition, there are some other Fossil (related) cards, like {{TCG|Buried Fossil}} from {{TCG|Skyridge}} (the only non-Trainer Fossil cards, which is a {{TCG|Colorless}} {{e|Colorless}} type Pokémon instead); {{TCG|Fossil Egg}} from {{TCG|Neo Discovery}}; and {{TCG|Holon Fossil}} from {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}.

==Trivia==
* The [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon are the only {{type|Rock}} Pokémon of that generation that are not part {{type|Ground}}.
* {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Rampardos}} are the only Fossil Pokémon that are pure-Rock type.
* {{p|Tirtouga}} and {{p|Carracosta}} are the only Fossil Pokémon to have Rock as their secondary type.
* {{p|Archen}} and {{p|Archeops}} are the only Fossil Pokémon without Hidden Abilities.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only Fossil Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
** It is also the only Rock type one which doesn't evolve normally.
* [[Generation VIII]] is the first generation to have fossil Pokémon that aren't Rock types or capable of {{pkmn|breeding}}.

Fossil

Jsphmagana: /* Generation VIII */

{{samename|the TCG set|Fossil (TCG)}}
----
A '''Fossil''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|化石|カセキ}}''' ''Fossil'') is a trace or piece of an organism from the past, such as a skeleton, shell, or leaf, preserved in the earth.

In the [[Pokémon world]], Fossils of prehistoric Pokémon are [[item]]s which can be revived into living Pokémon using techniques developed by the [[Devon Corporation]] and a research laboratory on [[Cinnabar Island]]. The two institutions purportedly developed their techniques independently of each other at around the same time. There are also other scientists around the Pokémon world who can revive Fossils using these techniques.

Pokémon revived from Fossils are commonly called Fossil Pokémon.

==In the games==
Scientists who can revive Fossils can be found in every [[core series]] game except the [[Generation II]] games.
* [[Kanto]]: [[Cinnabar Lab]]{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}} or [[Pewter Museum of Science]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}
* [[Hoenn]]: [[Devon Corporation]]
* [[Sinnoh]]: [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]]
* [[Unova]]: {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}}
* [[Kalos]]: [[Ambrette Town#Fossil Lab|Ambrette Fossil Lab]]
* [[Alola]]: {{DL|Alola Route 8|Fossil Restoration Center}}

Prior to Generation IV, Fossils were Key Items. However, from Generation IV and on, they are normal items, meaning that they can be traded freely between games. The table below summarizes the natural availability of the Fossils in the core series games.

In the games, relatively few [[Pokémon Trainer]]s possess Pokémon revived from Fossils, since they are considered rare and difficult to obtain.

===[[Generation I]]===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the first three Fossils were introduced. They have also appeared in most of the later games. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{flying color dark}}|Old Amber|Old Amber}}
|}

The Helix and Dome Fossils are chosen at the end of [[Mt. Moon]], being guarded by a Super Nerd, but the player may only choose one to keep. The other one that the Super Nerd takes will be revived and put on display in the Safari Zone. The Old Amber is located in the secret part of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], which can only be accessed with [[HM01]] Cut.

A scientist in the Pokémon Lab on [[Cinnabar Island]] can revive the Fossils. The resulting Pokémon are level 30.

During this generation (and their [[Generation III]] {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remakes|s}}), all Fossils are Key Items, and cannot be traded to other games to be revived.

[[Lance]] is the first Trainer to be seen with a Fossil Pokémon, possessing an Aerodactyl due to its {{t|Dragon|draconic}} appearance.

===[[Generation II]]===
No new Fossils were introduced in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and these games have no means by which to revive or acquire Fossils. However, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}} are prominently featured in the puzzles located at [[Ruins of Alph]]. Of the three, only Aerodactyl is actually obtainable in the games via an in-game [[trade]] with an NPC in Kanto (for {{p|Chansey}}). Omanyte and Kabuto must be traded from Generation I.

[[Lance]], who is now the [[Pokémon Champion]], continues to have an Aerodactyl on his team. In addition, [[Brock]], being a Fossil enthusiast, has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} in this generation's games, as well as the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium games]] in [[Gym Leader Castle]]. His fondness of Fossils is referenced again in the next generation of games when a man in [[Mt. Moon]] mentions that Brock helps excavate Fossils at the location, which implies that he excavated Omastar and Kabutops's Fossils himself.

===[[Generation III]]===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, two new Fossils were introduced. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

In Ruby and Sapphire, the player can choose one of either the Root or Claw Fossils at {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, and upon choosing, the other will sink away into the sand. In Emerald, however, while the player can only choose one initially at the [[Mirage Tower]], they can retrieve the other later at the end of the [[Desert Underpass]]. In the Generation I remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the player can obtain the same Fossils as in the original games: either the Helix or the Dome Fossil, and the Old Amber.

Additionally, {{p|Relicanth}} is also an ancient Pokémon which is partially Rock-type, and it can be considered a {{wp|living fossil}}. However, since it survived extinction for approximately a hundred million years and can be caught in the wild instead of being revived from a Fossil, it is rarely included in the Fossil Pokémon group.

[[Steven Stone]], a rock collector whose father is head of the Devon Corporation, has two Fossil Pokémon, {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}}. In {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Roxanne]] will eventually gain a Kabutops, an Omastar, and an Aerodactyl for her team. Also, in FireRed and LeafGreen, Lance continues to have Aerodactyl on his team.

In {{g|Colosseum}}'s Story Mode, various characters use the [[Hoenn]] Fossils, as well as Relicanth. The most famous of these users are [[Miror B.]] and [[Gonzap]], each of whom at some point has an Armaldo on his team. In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], this relative ubiquity is cut considerably, with Lileep, Anorith, Cradily, and Armaldo only appearing once. With that said, Relicanth deserves special mention as a member of [[Zook]]'s team, while an Aerodactyl will appear on [[Greevil]]'s team once his [[Shadow Pokémon]] have been Snagged.

FireRed and LeafGreen Fossils are obtained the same way as in Generation I, while Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Fossils may be revived by a scientist in the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]]. Newly resurrected Pokémon are level 20 in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and level 5 in FireRed and LeafGreen.

===[[Generation IV]]===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, two new Fossils were again introduced:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{sinnoh color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{sinnoh color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Skull Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|408|Cranidos}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Armor Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|410|Shieldon}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{rock color dark}}|Skull Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{steel color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{steel color dark}}|Armor Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be turned into level 20 Pokémon at the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]].

In Diamond and Pearl, for the first time in the series, the Fossils the player is able to receive are dependent on the version played: Skull Fossils are available in Diamond only and Armor Fossils in Pearl only. In Platinum, whichever Fossil a player digs up will depend on whether the Trainer ID is even or odd. If the Trainer ID is even, the player will dig up Armor Fossils only, and if the Trainer ID is odd, the player will dig up Skull Fossils only.

In [[Sinnoh]], when players travel [[the Underground|underground]], they can find most of the Fossils by digging, along with several other rare items, potentially. After getting the [[National Pokédex]], they can also find the five Fossils from the previous three generations. However, the chances of finding most of the previous generation Fossils, much like with several other items, follows a similar formula to the Sinnoh Fossils. This makes it easier to find certain Fossils which are found uncommonly, while the others become more difficult in the opposite version which instead are found very rarely. For example, the Helix and Claw Fossils have an easier chance to be found if the Skull Fossil is available, or the Dome and Root Fossil if the Armor Fossil is available. The Old Amber is the only Fossil whose ratio remains unchanged regardless of version as it will always be found rarely.

In [[Johto]]'s [[Generation IV]] games, the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Helix Fossil|Helix]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils as well as the [[Old Amber]] can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s outside [[Ruins of Alph]]. [[Root Fossil|Root]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Claw Fossil|Claw]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the [[Cliff Cave]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Fossils found in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} can be revived as level 20 Pokémon at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. The Skull and Armor Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon revived from them, must be transferred from Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.

In this generation, Fossils are considered to be normal items. As such, they can be held by a Pokémon and traded to another game.

[[Roark]] has a Cranidos, while his father, [[Byron]], has a {{p|Bastiodon}}. {{p|Rampardos}} and Shieldon are also used by two minor Trainers. In the post-Elite Four stage of the games, {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be spotted with another Trainer.

As in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, [[Brock]] has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} on his team in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and also uses a Rampardos in rematches. [[Lance]] continues to have Aerodactyl on his initial team, but it is not used in rematches.

===[[Generation V]]===
{{game|Black and White|s}} once again brought a new set of Fossils to the Pokémon world:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{unova color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{unova color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{water color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Cover Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|564|Tirtouga}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Plume Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|566|Archen}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{rock color dark}}|Cover Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{flying color dark}}|Plume Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be revived into level 25 Pokémon using a machine in the [[Nacrene City]] Museum.

In Pokémon Black and White, one of these two Fossils will be given away by a person in [[Relic Castle]], similar to how the Helix and Dome Fossils are originally obtained in the Kanto-based games.

In the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|sequels]] to these games, the fossils are instead given away by former Gym Leader [[Lenora]].

In [[Chargestone Cave]], a couple of {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s battle with a {{p|Tirtouga}} and an {{p|Archen}}. In Black 2 and White 2, two {{tc|Backpacker}}s on {{rt|1|Unova}} also use teams entirely made out of Fossil Pokémon.

The two final evolutions of the Fossil Pokémon released in this generation ({{p|Carracosta}} and {{p|Archeops}}) are used by [[N]] in the final battle against him in [[N's Castle]].

After defeating [[Ghetsis]]{{sup/5|BW}} or [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, Fossils of previous generations will be given out by a {{tc|Worker}} in [[Twist Mountain]], with one being given out per day.

While it cannot be revived via fossil, {{p|Genesect}} is known to have been created by [[Team Plasma]] by reviving a prehistoric Pokémon and upgrading it by attaching a cannon to its back.

===[[Generation VI]]===
Two Fossil Pokémon were introduced for {{g|X and Y}}.

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kalos color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{kalos color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Jaw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|696|Tyrunt}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Sail Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|698|Amaura}}
|-
| style="background:#{{dragon color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{dragon color dark}}|Jaw Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{ice color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{ice color dark}}|Sail Fossil}}
|}

One of the two Fossils is given to the player in [[Glittering Cave]] and can be restored at the research facility in [[Ambrette Town]]. The resulting Pokémon are level 20. The [[Old Amber]] can also be collected after this by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the back of Glittering Cave.

Gym Leader [[Grant]] uses {{p|Tyrunt}} and {{p|Amaura}} and their evolved forms in subsequent rematches. Champion [[Diantha]] also uses {{p|Tyrantrum}} and {{p|Aurorus}}.

After defeating the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Kalos|Elite Four}}, the player can return to Glittering Cave and smash rocks to find the Skull, Armor, Plume, and Cover Fossils, regardless of version, as well as Root and Claw Fossils{{sup/6|X}} or Dome and Helix Fossils{{sup/6|Y}}.

In Hoenn's Generation VI games, the Root and Claw Fossil are collected and restored the same way as the original Ruby and Sapphire games. Restoring fossils can be done at the second floor of the [[Devon Corporation]]. During the post-game, a number of other fossils can be collected by smashing [[breakable rock]]s at the [[Mirage spot]]s. While the Old Amber can be found regardless of version, the Dome, Armor, and Plume Fossils are exclusive to Omega Ruby and the Helix, Skull, and Cover Fossils are exclusive to Alpha Sapphire. The Jaw and Sail Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon that are revived from them, must be transferred from X and Y.

===[[Generation VII]]===
Generation VII introduces no new Fossils, but the player may obtain most of the previous Fossils depending on the game. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], only the fossils from Sinnoh and Unova are available. Their location is at [[Olivia]]'s jewelry shop in [[Konikoni City]], where the player can buy a [[Skull Fossil]] and a [[Cover Fossil]] in Pokémon Sun or an [[Armor Fossil]] and a [[Plume Fossil]] in Pokémon Moon.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], this has been expanded to include more of the previous fossils which were absent from the original games. The [[Helix Fossil|Helix]], [[Claw Fossil|Claw]], and [[Jaw Fossil|Jaw]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Skull and Cover Fossils in Ultra Sun, and the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]], [[Root Fossil|Root]], and [[Sail Fossil|Sail]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Armor and Plume Fossils in Ultra Moon. Additionally, unlike the original games, any of these fossils can now also be obtained from Isle Aphun at [[Poké Pelago]] regardless of version. This is done from conducting a Rare Treasure-Hunting expedition (or an Interesting Item-Hunting expedition once the island has reached Development Level 3), where any of these fossils have a very rare chance of being obtained.

The Fossils can be revived at the Fossil Restoration Center on {{rt|8|Alola}}. The newly revived Pokémon come at level 15.

Unlike the other Fossils, the [[Old Amber]] is unobtainable in [[Alola]]. Instead, an {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be obtained at [[Seafolk Village]] as a [[gift Pokémon]].

Several minor Trainers use some of these Fossil Pokémon or their evolved forms as part of their teams. In addition for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon only, [[Olivia]] uses both {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Anorith}} during her grand trial. Later, when the player faces Olivia at the {{al|Pokémon League}}, they have evolved into {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}} respectively as part of her upgraded team.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], all the Kanto Fossils are obtainable in the same locations as they were in Generations I and III. In addition, more of them can be found on the second floor of [[Cerulean Cave]], where random rare items spawn occasionally.

The only notable Trainer who uses a Fossil Pokémon in these games is {{ga|Blue}}, who uses an Aerodactyl as a part of his team when rematched at the [[Viridian Gym]].

===[[Generation VIII]]===
Generation VIII introduced 4 new fossils, but the player cannot get any of the previously established fossils. Reviving fossils in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] is a much different process than it has been in the past generations, as the process have two completely different fossils combined together to form a horrific chimeric Fossil Pokémon.

The Fossils can be combined via unspeakable science at {{rt|6|Galar}} by one aptly named [[Cara Liss]] into the following Pokémon:

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Dome Fossil anime.png|thumb|250px|Dome Fossil in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Sunkern leaf fossil.png|thumb|250px|A fossilized {{p|Sunkern}} leaf in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, most Fossil Pokémon are in fact, not extinct, but have simply been hibernating underground for millions of years, as seen in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]'', and ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''. However, [[Professor Proctor]] and {{Gary}} have both used research to directly revive Fossil Pokémon, as seen in ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]'' and ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', respectively. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, where Fossils of ancient Pokémon are resurrected into the skeletons of the prehistoric using a machine that recreates the missing organs that had decomposed away from the genes extracted in the remains, this Aerodactyl was in fact completely revived from a Fossil that was fully preserved inside of an Old Amber for millions of years and thus still had the memories of its past life.

[[Butler]] tried to create a {{p|Groudon}} for [[Team Magma]] in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' from a fossilized remnant, but the experiment failed and Butler left Team Magma.

[[Roark]], as he does in the {{pkmn|games}}, has a Cranidos which evolves into a {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. This Pokémon, as well as several other Fossil Pokémon, appear in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]'', ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'', and ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''. [[Byron]], his father, also has quite a collection in [[Canalave Gym|his Gym]]. This includes the Fossil Pokémon {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, and {{p|Armaldo}}, as well as a giant Claw Fossil. He also kept a {{p|Sunkern}} leaf Fossil that Roark found when he was a child.

In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', a {{p|Kabuto}} Fossil was first seen chasing [[Hawes]], as he claimed it to be doing, but was later seen safely placed in a display case. Hawes later explained what it was to the trio. It was later revealed that the {{p|Yamask}} in the Nacrene City Museum was using its move {{m|Psychic}} to make the Dome Fossil float and chase after Hawes after he put its mask in a display case, thinking that it was a replica Yamask mask given to him as a gift from the company that made a {{p|Cofagrigus}} replica after purchasing it from them for the museum.

[[Lenora]] gave a Plume Fossil to [[Professor Juniper]] and [[Fennel]] prior to ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]''. They successfully resurrected a female {{p|Archen}} from the Fossil using {{p|Musharna}}'s dream energy. With the help of {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Tranquill}}, Archen learned how to fly and then evolved into {{p|Archeops}}.

{{an|Kiawe}} found two fossils in ''[[SM032|Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!]]'', during the [[Poké Ride|Stoutland Search]] treasure hunt set up for Ash and his classmates by [[Olivia]]. On the first round, he found a Skull Fossil, and on the second one, he found a Plume Fossil.
{{-}}

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Super Nerd PO.png|thumb|250px|Dome and Helix Fossils in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The Dome and Helix Fossils were seen briefly in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', being hogged by a {{tc|Super Nerd}} whom {{OBP|Red|Origins}} encountered on [[Mt. Moon]].

In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', Red was seen using a {{p|Kabutops}} in his battle against [[Giovanni]], presumably revived from a Dome Fossil. Since Red is mentioned to have caught all 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon (excluding {{p|Mew}}) by the time of ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', it means that he has also obtained the other Kanto Fossil Pokémon, presumably also revived from Fossils. As {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} was mentioned to have collected 148 Pokémon, it is likely that he had also collected all Kanto Fossil Pokémon.

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section|other manga}}
[[File:Old Amber revive.png|150px|right|thumb|{{p|Aerodactyl}} being revived from [[Old Amber]] in [[Blaine]]'s lab]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Lance and Brock both have Fossil Pokémon, just as in the games. Misty also temporarily has an {{p|Omanyte}}, but she gives this to {{adv|Yellow}}. In addition, {{adv|Red}} uses [[Blaine]]'s laboratory to revive an [[Aero]]dactyl. In [[Hoenn]], {{adv|Ruby}} fights a revived {{p|Lileep}} and an {{p|Anorith}} at [[Professor Cozmo]]'s laboratory in [[Fallarbor Town]]. In [[Sinnoh]], [[Roark]] has a {{p|Cranidos}} like in the games, and [[Byron|his father]] a [[Don|Shieldon]], which he later gives to {{adv|Diamond}}. In [[Unova]], [[N]] had an {{p|Archeops}}, which he released, and {{adv|Black}} has a [[Costa|Carracosta]], given to him by [[Marshal]] as a {{p|Tirtouga}}. {{adv|Blake}} also has a {{p|Kabutops}}. In [[Kalos]], [[Grant]] has an {{p|Aurorus}} and a {{p|Tyrantrum}}.

==In the TCG==
All Fossils have appeared in the TCG at one point or another, usually being released in the same expansion as the Pokémon which are revived from them, and being released as {{TCG|Trainer card}}s. Initially, only the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} card existed, which could be evolved into any of the three Generation I Fossil Pokémon; however, its use was eventually discontinued in favor of individual {{TCG|Dome Fossil}}, {{TCG|Helix Fossil}}, and {{TCG|Old Amber}} cards to match the {{TCG|Claw Fossil|Claw}}, {{TCG|Root Fossil|Root}}, {{TCG|Skull Fossil|Skull}}, {{TCG|Armor Fossil|Armor}}, {{TCG|Cover Fossil|Cover}}, {{TCG|Plume Fossil|Plume}}, {{TCG|Jaw Fossil|Jaw}}, and {{TCG|Sail Fossil|Sail}} Fossil cards. {{TCG|Ultra Prism}} brought the return of a shared Trainer card which could evolve into any Fossil Pokémon released during the Sun & Moon Series, this time known as {{TCG|Unidentified Fossil}}.

In addition, there are some other Fossil (related) cards, like {{TCG|Buried Fossil}} from {{TCG|Skyridge}} (the only non-Trainer Fossil cards, which is a {{TCG|Colorless}} {{e|Colorless}} type Pokémon instead); {{TCG|Fossil Egg}} from {{TCG|Neo Discovery}}; and {{TCG|Holon Fossil}} from {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}.

==Trivia==
* The [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon are the only {{type|Rock}} Pokémon of that generation that are not part {{type|Ground}}.
* {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Rampardos}} are the only Fossil Pokémon that are pure-Rock type.
* {{p|Tirtouga}} and {{p|Carracosta}} are the only Fossil Pokémon to have Rock as their secondary type.
* {{p|Archen}} and {{p|Archeops}} are the only Fossil Pokémon without Hidden Abilities.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only Fossil Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
** It is also the only one which doesn't evolve normally.

Jsphmagana: /* Generation VII */

{{samename|the TCG set|Fossil (TCG)}}
----
A '''Fossil''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|化石|カセキ}}''' ''Fossil'') is a trace or piece of an organism from the past, such as a skeleton, shell, or leaf, preserved in the earth.

In the [[Pokémon world]], Fossils of prehistoric Pokémon are [[item]]s which can be revived into living Pokémon using techniques developed by the [[Devon Corporation]] and a research laboratory on [[Cinnabar Island]]. The two institutions purportedly developed their techniques independently of each other at around the same time. There are also other scientists around the Pokémon world who can revive Fossils using these techniques.

Pokémon revived from Fossils are commonly called Fossil Pokémon.

==In the games==
Scientists who can revive Fossils can be found in every [[core series]] game except the [[Generation II]] games.
* [[Kanto]]: [[Cinnabar Lab]]{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}} or [[Pewter Museum of Science]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}
* [[Hoenn]]: [[Devon Corporation]]
* [[Sinnoh]]: [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]]
* [[Unova]]: {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}}
* [[Kalos]]: [[Ambrette Town#Fossil Lab|Ambrette Fossil Lab]]
* [[Alola]]: {{DL|Alola Route 8|Fossil Restoration Center}}

Prior to Generation IV, Fossils were Key Items. However, from Generation IV and on, they are normal items, meaning that they can be traded freely between games. The table below summarizes the natural availability of the Fossils in the core series games.

In the games, relatively few [[Pokémon Trainer]]s possess Pokémon revived from Fossils, since they are considered rare and difficult to obtain.

===[[Generation I]]===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the first three Fossils were introduced. They have also appeared in most of the later games. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kanto color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Helix Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|138|Omanyte}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Dome Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|140|Kabuto}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Old Amber Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|142|Aerodactyl}}
|-
| style="background:#{{water color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{water color dark}}|Helix Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{water color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{water color dark}}|Dome Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{flying color dark}}|Old Amber|Old Amber}}
|}

The Helix and Dome Fossils are chosen at the end of [[Mt. Moon]], being guarded by a Super Nerd, but the player may only choose one to keep. The other one that the Super Nerd takes will be revived and put on display in the Safari Zone. The Old Amber is located in the secret part of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], which can only be accessed with [[HM01]] Cut.

A scientist in the Pokémon Lab on [[Cinnabar Island]] can revive the Fossils. The resulting Pokémon are level 30.

During this generation (and their [[Generation III]] {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remakes|s}}), all Fossils are Key Items, and cannot be traded to other games to be revived.

[[Lance]] is the first Trainer to be seen with a Fossil Pokémon, possessing an Aerodactyl due to its {{t|Dragon|draconic}} appearance.

===[[Generation II]]===
No new Fossils were introduced in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and these games have no means by which to revive or acquire Fossils. However, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}} are prominently featured in the puzzles located at [[Ruins of Alph]]. Of the three, only Aerodactyl is actually obtainable in the games via an in-game [[trade]] with an NPC in Kanto (for {{p|Chansey}}). Omanyte and Kabuto must be traded from Generation I.

[[Lance]], who is now the [[Pokémon Champion]], continues to have an Aerodactyl on his team. In addition, [[Brock]], being a Fossil enthusiast, has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} in this generation's games, as well as the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium games]] in [[Gym Leader Castle]]. His fondness of Fossils is referenced again in the next generation of games when a man in [[Mt. Moon]] mentions that Brock helps excavate Fossils at the location, which implies that he excavated Omastar and Kabutops's Fossils himself.

===[[Generation III]]===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, two new Fossils were introduced. They can be resurrected into these respective Pokémon:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{hoenn color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{hoenn color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Root Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|345|Lileep}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Claw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|347|Anorith}}
|-
| style="background:#{{grass color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{grass color dark}}|Root Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{bug color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{bug color dark}}|Claw Fossil}}
|}

In Ruby and Sapphire, the player can choose one of either the Root or Claw Fossils at {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, and upon choosing, the other will sink away into the sand. In Emerald, however, while the player can only choose one initially at the [[Mirage Tower]], they can retrieve the other later at the end of the [[Desert Underpass]]. In the Generation I remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the player can obtain the same Fossils as in the original games: either the Helix or the Dome Fossil, and the Old Amber.

Additionally, {{p|Relicanth}} is also an ancient Pokémon which is partially Rock-type, and it can be considered a {{wp|living fossil}}. However, since it survived extinction for approximately a hundred million years and can be caught in the wild instead of being revived from a Fossil, it is rarely included in the Fossil Pokémon group.

[[Steven Stone]], a rock collector whose father is head of the Devon Corporation, has two Fossil Pokémon, {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}}. In {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Roxanne]] will eventually gain a Kabutops, an Omastar, and an Aerodactyl for her team. Also, in FireRed and LeafGreen, Lance continues to have Aerodactyl on his team.

In {{g|Colosseum}}'s Story Mode, various characters use the [[Hoenn]] Fossils, as well as Relicanth. The most famous of these users are [[Miror B.]] and [[Gonzap]], each of whom at some point has an Armaldo on his team. In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], this relative ubiquity is cut considerably, with Lileep, Anorith, Cradily, and Armaldo only appearing once. With that said, Relicanth deserves special mention as a member of [[Zook]]'s team, while an Aerodactyl will appear on [[Greevil]]'s team once his [[Shadow Pokémon]] have been Snagged.

FireRed and LeafGreen Fossils are obtained the same way as in Generation I, while Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Fossils may be revived by a scientist in the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]]. Newly resurrected Pokémon are level 20 in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and level 5 in FireRed and LeafGreen.

===[[Generation IV]]===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, two new Fossils were again introduced:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{sinnoh color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{sinnoh color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Skull Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|408|Cranidos}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Armor Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|410|Shieldon}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{rock color dark}}|Skull Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{steel color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{steel color dark}}|Armor Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be turned into level 20 Pokémon at the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]].

In Diamond and Pearl, for the first time in the series, the Fossils the player is able to receive are dependent on the version played: Skull Fossils are available in Diamond only and Armor Fossils in Pearl only. In Platinum, whichever Fossil a player digs up will depend on whether the Trainer ID is even or odd. If the Trainer ID is even, the player will dig up Armor Fossils only, and if the Trainer ID is odd, the player will dig up Skull Fossils only.

In [[Sinnoh]], when players travel [[the Underground|underground]], they can find most of the Fossils by digging, along with several other rare items, potentially. After getting the [[National Pokédex]], they can also find the five Fossils from the previous three generations. However, the chances of finding most of the previous generation Fossils, much like with several other items, follows a similar formula to the Sinnoh Fossils. This makes it easier to find certain Fossils which are found uncommonly, while the others become more difficult in the opposite version which instead are found very rarely. For example, the Helix and Claw Fossils have an easier chance to be found if the Skull Fossil is available, or the Dome and Root Fossil if the Armor Fossil is available. The Old Amber is the only Fossil whose ratio remains unchanged regardless of version as it will always be found rarely.

In [[Johto]]'s [[Generation IV]] games, the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Helix Fossil|Helix]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils as well as the [[Old Amber]] can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s outside [[Ruins of Alph]]. [[Root Fossil|Root]]{{sup/4|SS}} and [[Claw Fossil|Claw]]{{sup/4|HG}} Fossils can be found randomly by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the [[Cliff Cave]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Fossils found in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} can be revived as level 20 Pokémon at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. The Skull and Armor Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon revived from them, must be transferred from Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.

In this generation, Fossils are considered to be normal items. As such, they can be held by a Pokémon and traded to another game.

[[Roark]] has a Cranidos, while his father, [[Byron]], has a {{p|Bastiodon}}. {{p|Rampardos}} and Shieldon are also used by two minor Trainers. In the post-Elite Four stage of the games, {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be spotted with another Trainer.

As in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, [[Brock]] has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} on his team in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and also uses a Rampardos in rematches. [[Lance]] continues to have Aerodactyl on his initial team, but it is not used in rematches.

===[[Generation V]]===
{{game|Black and White|s}} once again brought a new set of Fossils to the Pokémon world:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{unova color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{unova color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{water color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Cover Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|564|Tirtouga}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Plume Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|566|Archen}}
|-
| style="background:#{{rock color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{rock color dark}}|Cover Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{flying color dark}}|Plume Fossil}}
|}

These Fossils can be revived into level 25 Pokémon using a machine in the [[Nacrene City]] Museum.

In Pokémon Black and White, one of these two Fossils will be given away by a person in [[Relic Castle]], similar to how the Helix and Dome Fossils are originally obtained in the Kanto-based games.

In the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|sequels]] to these games, the fossils are instead given away by former Gym Leader [[Lenora]].

In [[Chargestone Cave]], a couple of {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s battle with a {{p|Tirtouga}} and an {{p|Archen}}. In Black 2 and White 2, two {{tc|Backpacker}}s on {{rt|1|Unova}} also use teams entirely made out of Fossil Pokémon.

The two final evolutions of the Fossil Pokémon released in this generation ({{p|Carracosta}} and {{p|Archeops}}) are used by [[N]] in the final battle against him in [[N's Castle]].

After defeating [[Ghetsis]]{{sup/5|BW}} or [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, Fossils of previous generations will be given out by a {{tc|Worker}} in [[Twist Mountain]], with one being given out per day.

While it cannot be revived via fossil, {{p|Genesect}} is known to have been created by [[Team Plasma]] by reviving a prehistoric Pokémon and upgrading it by attaching a cannon to its back.

===[[Generation VI]]===
Two Fossil Pokémon were introduced for {{g|X and Y}}.

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kalos color dark}}; border:5px solid #{{kalos color}}"
|-
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Jaw Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|696|Tyrunt}}
| width="120px" style="background:#{{rock color}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Sail Fossil Sprite.png]] →{{MSP|698|Amaura}}
|-
| style="background:#{{dragon color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{dragon color dark}}|Jaw Fossil}}
| style="background:#{{ice color light}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{color2|{{ice color dark}}|Sail Fossil}}
|}

One of the two Fossils is given to the player in [[Glittering Cave]] and can be restored at the research facility in [[Ambrette Town]]. The resulting Pokémon are level 20. The [[Old Amber]] can also be collected after this by smashing [[breakable rock]]s in the back of Glittering Cave.

Gym Leader [[Grant]] uses {{p|Tyrunt}} and {{p|Amaura}} and their evolved forms in subsequent rematches. Champion [[Diantha]] also uses {{p|Tyrantrum}} and {{p|Aurorus}}.

After defeating the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Kalos|Elite Four}}, the player can return to Glittering Cave and smash rocks to find the Skull, Armor, Plume, and Cover Fossils, regardless of version, as well as Root and Claw Fossils{{sup/6|X}} or Dome and Helix Fossils{{sup/6|Y}}.

In Hoenn's Generation VI games, the Root and Claw Fossil are collected and restored the same way as the original Ruby and Sapphire games. Restoring fossils can be done at the second floor of the [[Devon Corporation]]. During the post-game, a number of other fossils can be collected by smashing [[breakable rock]]s at the [[Mirage spot]]s. While the Old Amber can be found regardless of version, the Dome, Armor, and Plume Fossils are exclusive to Omega Ruby and the Helix, Skull, and Cover Fossils are exclusive to Alpha Sapphire. The Jaw and Sail Fossils are absent from both games, so either they, or the Pokémon that are revived from them, must be transferred from X and Y.

===[[Generation VII]]===
Generation VII introduces no new Fossils, but the player may obtain most of the previous Fossils depending on the game. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], only the fossils from Sinnoh and Unova are available. Their location is at [[Olivia]]'s jewelry shop in [[Konikoni City]], where the player can buy a [[Skull Fossil]] and a [[Cover Fossil]] in Pokémon Sun or an [[Armor Fossil]] and a [[Plume Fossil]] in Pokémon Moon.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], this has been expanded to include more of the previous fossils which were absent from the original games. The [[Helix Fossil|Helix]], [[Claw Fossil|Claw]], and [[Jaw Fossil|Jaw]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Skull and Cover Fossils in Ultra Sun, and the [[Dome Fossil|Dome]], [[Root Fossil|Root]], and [[Sail Fossil|Sail]] Fossils may be purchased alongside the Armor and Plume Fossils in Ultra Moon. Additionally, unlike the original games, any of these fossils can now also be obtained from Isle Aphun at [[Poké Pelago]] regardless of version. This is done from conducting a Rare Treasure-Hunting expedition (or an Interesting Item-Hunting expedition once the island has reached Development Level 3), where any of these fossils have a very rare chance of being obtained.

The Fossils can be revived at the Fossil Restoration Center on {{rt|8|Alola}}. The newly revived Pokémon come at level 15.

Unlike the other Fossils, the [[Old Amber]] is unobtainable in [[Alola]]. Instead, an {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be obtained at [[Seafolk Village]] as a [[gift Pokémon]].

Several minor Trainers use some of these Fossil Pokémon or their evolved forms as part of their teams. In addition for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon only, [[Olivia]] uses both {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Anorith}} during her grand trial. Later, when the player faces Olivia at the {{al|Pokémon League}}, they have evolved into {{p|Cradily}} and {{p|Armaldo}} respectively as part of her upgraded team.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], all the Kanto Fossils are obtainable in the same locations as they were in Generations I and III. In addition, more of them can be found on the second floor of [[Cerulean Cave]], where random rare items spawn occasionally.

The only notable Trainer who uses a Fossil Pokémon in these games is {{ga|Blue}}, who uses an Aerodactyl as a part of his team when rematched at the [[Viridian Gym]].

===[[Generation VIII]]===
Generation VIII introduced 4 new fossils, but the player cannot get any of the previously established fossils. Reviving fossils in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] is a much different process than it has been in the past generations, as the process have two completely different fossils combined together to form a horrific chimeric Fossil Pokémon.

The Fossils can be combined via unspeakable science at {{rt|6|Galar}} by one aptly named [[Cara Liss]] into the following Pokémon:

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Dome Fossil anime.png|thumb|250px|Dome Fossil in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Sunkern leaf fossil.png|thumb|250px|A fossilized {{p|Sunkern}} leaf in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, most Fossil Pokémon are in fact, not extinct, but have simply been hibernating underground for millions of years, as seen in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]'', and ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''. However, [[Professor Proctor]] and {{Gary}} have both used research to directly revive Fossil Pokémon, as seen in ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]'' and ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', respectively. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, where Fossils of ancient Pokémon are resurrected into the skeletons of the prehistoric using a machine that recreates the missing organs that had decomposed away from the genes extracted in the remains, this Aerodactyl was in fact completely revived from a Fossil that was fully preserved inside of an Old Amber for millions of years and thus still had the memories of its past life.

[[Butler]] tried to create a {{p|Groudon}} for [[Team Magma]] in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' from a fossilized remnant, but the experiment failed and Butler left Team Magma.

[[Roark]], as he does in the {{pkmn|games}}, has a Cranidos which evolves into a {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. This Pokémon, as well as several other Fossil Pokémon, appear in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]'', ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'', and ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''. [[Byron]], his father, also has quite a collection in [[Canalave Gym|his Gym]]. This includes the Fossil Pokémon {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, and {{p|Armaldo}}, as well as a giant Claw Fossil. He also kept a {{p|Sunkern}} leaf Fossil that Roark found when he was a child.

In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', a {{p|Kabuto}} Fossil was first seen chasing [[Hawes]], as he claimed it to be doing, but was later seen safely placed in a display case. Hawes later explained what it was to the trio. It was later revealed that the {{p|Yamask}} in the Nacrene City Museum was using its move {{m|Psychic}} to make the Dome Fossil float and chase after Hawes after he put its mask in a display case, thinking that it was a replica Yamask mask given to him as a gift from the company that made a {{p|Cofagrigus}} replica after purchasing it from them for the museum.

[[Lenora]] gave a Plume Fossil to [[Professor Juniper]] and [[Fennel]] prior to ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]''. They successfully resurrected a female {{p|Archen}} from the Fossil using {{p|Musharna}}'s dream energy. With the help of {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Tranquill}}, Archen learned how to fly and then evolved into {{p|Archeops}}.

{{an|Kiawe}} found two fossils in ''[[SM032|Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!]]'', during the [[Poké Ride|Stoutland Search]] treasure hunt set up for Ash and his classmates by [[Olivia]]. On the first round, he found a Skull Fossil, and on the second one, he found a Plume Fossil.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Super Nerd PO.png|thumb|250px|Dome and Helix Fossils in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The Dome and Helix Fossils were seen briefly in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', being hogged by a {{tc|Super Nerd}} whom {{OBP|Red|Origins}} encountered on [[Mt. Moon]].

In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', Red was seen using a {{p|Kabutops}} in his battle against [[Giovanni]], presumably revived from a Dome Fossil. Since Red is mentioned to have caught all 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon (excluding {{p|Mew}}) by the time of ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', it means that he has also obtained the other Kanto Fossil Pokémon, presumably also revived from Fossils. As {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} was mentioned to have collected 148 Pokémon, it is likely that he had also collected all Kanto Fossil Pokémon.

[[File:Old Amber revive.png|150px|right|thumb|{{p|Aerodactyl}} being revived from [[Old Amber]] in [[Blaine]]'s lab]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Lance and Brock both have Fossil Pokémon, just as in the games. Misty also temporarily has an {{p|Omanyte}}, but she gives this to {{adv|Yellow}}. In addition, {{adv|Red}} uses [[Blaine]]'s laboratory to revive an [[Aero]]dactyl. In [[Hoenn]], {{adv|Ruby}} fights a revived {{p|Lileep}} and an {{p|Anorith}} at [[Professor Cozmo]]'s laboratory in [[Fallarbor Town]]. In [[Sinnoh]], [[Roark]] has a {{p|Cranidos}} like in the games, and [[Byron|his father]] a [[Don|Shieldon]], which he later gives to {{adv|Diamond}}. In [[Unova]], [[N]] had an {{p|Archeops}}, which he released, and {{adv|Black}} has a [[Costa|Carracosta]], given to him by [[Marshal]] as a {{p|Tirtouga}}. {{adv|Blake}} also has a {{p|Kabutops}}. In [[Kalos]], [[Grant]] has an {{p|Aurorus}} and a {{p|Tyrantrum}}.

==In the TCG==
All Fossils have appeared in the TCG at one point or another, usually being released in the same expansion as the Pokémon which are revived from them, and being released as {{TCG|Trainer card}}s. Initially, only the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} card existed, which could be evolved into any of the three Generation I Fossil Pokémon; however, its use was eventually discontinued in favor of individual {{TCG|Dome Fossil}}, {{TCG|Helix Fossil}}, and {{TCG|Old Amber}} cards to match the {{TCG|Claw Fossil|Claw}}, {{TCG|Root Fossil|Root}}, {{TCG|Skull Fossil|Skull}}, {{TCG|Armor Fossil|Armor}}, {{TCG|Cover Fossil|Cover}}, {{TCG|Plume Fossil|Plume}}, {{TCG|Jaw Fossil|Jaw}}, and {{TCG|Sail Fossil|Sail}} Fossil cards. {{TCG|Ultra Prism}} brought the return of a shared Trainer card which could evolve into any Fossil Pokémon released during the Sun & Moon Series, this time known as {{TCG|Unidentified Fossil}}.

In addition, there are some other Fossil (related) cards, like {{TCG|Buried Fossil}} from {{TCG|Skyridge}} (the only non-Trainer Fossil cards, which is a {{TCG|Colorless}} {{e|Colorless}} type Pokémon instead); {{TCG|Fossil Egg}} from {{TCG|Neo Discovery}}; and {{TCG|Holon Fossil}} from {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}.

==Trivia==
* The [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon are the only {{type|Rock}} Pokémon of that generation that are not part {{type|Ground}}.
* {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Rampardos}} are the only Fossil Pokémon that are pure-Rock type.
* {{p|Tirtouga}} and {{p|Carracosta}} are the only Fossil Pokémon to have Rock as their secondary type.
* {{p|Archen}} and {{p|Archeops}} are the only Fossil Pokémon without Hidden Abilities.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only Fossil Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
** It is also the only one which doesn't evolve normally.

{{incomplete|2=Updating History section with USUM information}}
[[File:Sun Moon Ultra Beasts artwork.png|thumb|370px|Artwork drawn by [[Hitoshi Ariga]] depicting the first Ultra Beasts to appear in the series]]
The '''Ultra Beasts''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラビースト''' ''Ultra Beast'') are a group of {{DL|Extraterrestrial Pokémon|extradimensional Pokémon}} originating from [[Ultra Space]]. They possess power that transcends humans' understanding of the world.

Ultra Beasts infrequently appear from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in [[Alola]]. These appearances are apparently as unexpected for the Ultra Beasts as for Alolans, which tends to make them combative. They are especially drawn to people who have passed through an [[Ultra Wormhole]], due to the residual wormhole energy on them, apparently expecting to find a wormhole they can use to return home.

There are currently eleven known Ultra Beasts:
* {{p|Nihilego}} (codenamed UB-01 Symbiont)
* {{p|Buzzwole}} (codenamed UB-02 Absorption){{sup/7|SUS}}
* {{p|Pheromosa}} (codenamed UB-02 Beauty){{sup/7|MUM}}
* {{p|Xurkitree}} (codenamed UB-03 Lighting)
* {{p|Celesteela}} (codenamed UB-04 Blaster){{sup/7|MUM}}
* {{p|Kartana}} (codenamed UB-04 Blade){{sup/7|SUS}}
* {{p|Guzzlord}} (codenamed UB-05 Glutton)
* {{p|Poipole}} (codenamed UB Adhesive){{sup/7|USUM}}
* {{p|Naganadel}} (codenamed UB Stinger){{sup/7|USUM}}
* {{p|Stakataka}} (codenamed UB Assembly){{sup/7|UM}}
* {{p|Blacephalon}} (codenamed UB Burst){{sup/7|US}}

All Ultra Beasts share the [[Ability]] {{a|Beast Boost}}.

When encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, the residual energy from Ultra Wormholes manifests as a red aura that boosts one of their [[Statistic|stats]] at the start of {{pkmn|battle}}, similar to a [[Totem Pokémon]]'s orange aura. [[Wicke]] theorizes that they store this energy in their bodies.

Most Poké Balls have difficulty recognizing Ultra Beasts as Pokémon due to their extradimensional origins, impairing their ability to effectively catch them. Only the [[Master Ball]] and {{ball|Beast}}s escape this impairment.

Although unconfirmed, [[Aether Foundation]] scientists hypothesized that {{p|Cosmog}} is also an Ultra Beast, due to its ability to create Ultra Wormholes. {{p|Necrozma}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry also states that it is "reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts", but when it was in the wild, the International Police reported that all Ultra Beasts it had detected had been caught, and Beast Balls are not effective at catching it. Additionally, [[Dulse]] refers to Necrozma as "a creature almost like an Ultra Beast" in Pokémon Ultra Sun. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Aether Foundation, mistaking {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} for an Ultra Beast, gives it the codename "UB Black".

==History==
Although an extremely rare event, legends in Alola tell of fearsome Pokémon appearing from Ultra Wormholes. The legends also tell that the [[guardian deities]] would fight fiercely against them.

Years prior to the events of {{g|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Mohn|Professor Mohn]] published a theory on Ultra Wormholes and papers describing {{p|Nihilego}}.

The Aether Foundation also conducted research on the Ultra Beasts. This included the development of the Beast Killer project to create a Pokémon—{{p|Type: Null|Type: Full}}—that could fight against Ultra Beasts. The Beast Killer project ended in failure, and the three known Type: Full were cryogenically frozen and their names changed to Type: Null. It also developed the {{ball|Beast}} to catch the Ultra Beasts.

The [[International Police]] have also tracked Ultra Beasts in the past and into the present under a secret division known as the UB Task Force. The UB Task Force is tasked with investigating the ecology of Ultra Beasts, protecting people from harm from them, and either safeguarding or destroying the Ultra Beasts. Ten years prior to the events of Sun and Moon, a three-person team composed of [[Looker]], [[Nanu]], and an unnamed {{DL|Ultra Wormhole|Fallers|Faller}} came to Alola to track down and destroy a Guzzlord; in the process, the Faller was killed. The International Police refer to each of the Ultra Beasts by code names.

The first reported sightings of Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Kartana, and Celesteela were after the incident at [[Aether Paradise]] where Lusamine forced Cosmog to create an Ultra Wormhole and used it to travel to Ultra Space.

The first reported sightings of Stakataka and Blacephalon were after the incident at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}} when {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}{{sup/7|UM}} opened many [[Ultra Wormhole]]s across Alola. The first reported sighting of Poipole was by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].

==In the games==
===Pokémon Sun and Moon===
During the main story, the player encounters {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]] during their first meeting with Aether President [[Lusamine]], when it emerges from a spontaneously appearing [[Ultra Wormhole]]. During the player's confrontation with Lusamine after she captures [[Nebby]], Lusamine uses Nebby's power to open Ultra Wormholes across the Alola region, bringing Ultra Beasts into the region; Nihilego is seen emerging from the portal near Lusamine, while {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|M}} is seen emerging from a portal over [[Melemele Island]] and battling {{p|Tapu Koko}}. The player also encounters several {{p|Nihilego}} in [[Ultra Space]] after arriving with {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} and [[Lillie]].

After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, some Ultra Beasts remain at large around Alola. The player receives [[Enigmatic Card|a card]] from a stranger directing them to visit the motel on [[Akala Island]]'s {{rt|8|Alola}}. When they enter the guest room, they will find [[Looker]] and [[Salon Maiden Anabel|Anabel]], who invite the player to join the International Police's UB Task Force and protect the Ultra Beasts currently loose in Alola. Upon accepting, the player begins a series of missions to capture the Ultra Beasts, spanning all four of Alola's islands, each time based out of the island's motel (or the restaurant on [[Poni Island]]). In some missions, there are multiple of the same species of Ultra Beast to be captured, and in some missions they may be found at either of two locations. If the player [[escape|flees]] from or defeats an Ultra Beast, it remains in the area and the player will still be able to find it again immediately (either at the same place or at the alternate location, if applicable). When the player is in an area where there are Ultra Beasts during a mission, the music changes from the area's normal score.

All [[Poké Ball]]s except [[Master Ball]]s and {{ball|Beast}}s have a [[catch rate]] multiplier of 0.1× against Ultra Beasts; the Beast Ball has a catch rate multiplier of 5× for Ultra Beasts. If a Beast Ball is used against any other type of Pokémon, its catch rate multiplier is 0.1×.

Unlike regular Pokémon, the [[Pokédex]] will not record Ultra Beasts as seen; it will only register them when they are caught. If an Ultra Beast is not in the Pokédex, its name will show as ??? in battle.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
During the story, the player encounters {{p|Poipole}} as the main Pokémon used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] member [[Dulse]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Soliera]]{{sup/7|UM}}. Like in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, {{p|Nihilego}} appears at [[Aether Paradise]] after meeting with [[Lusamine]]. During the player's confrontation with Dusk Mane{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings{{sup/7|UM}} {{p|Necrozma}}, it proceeds to open multiple [[Ultra Wormhole|Ultra Wormholes]] all across [[Alola]], unleashing Ultra Beasts into Alola. {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} appears on [[Mahalo Trail]], facing against [[Hala]], [[Hau]], and {{p|Tapu Koko}}. Additionally, [[Olivia]] encounters {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} at the [[Ruins of Life]], [[Nanu]] encounters {{p|Guzzlord}} at the [[Ruins of Abundance]], and [[Hapu]] encounters [[Xurkitree]] at the [[Ruins of Hope]].

The first seven Ultra Beasts can be reached in white [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in the [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. {{p|Nihilego}} can be found in [[Ultra Deep Sea]], {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Jungle]], {{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Desert]], {{p|Xurkitree}} in [[Ultra Plant]], {{p|Celesteela}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Crater]], {{p|Kartana}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Forest]], and {{p|Guzzlord}} in [[Ultra Ruin]]. They can be caught once per visit. After defeating {{p|Necrozma}} at [[Megalo Tower]], the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] offers {{p|Poipole}} to the player, and after the player becomes the Champion, the player can catch two {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} at [[Poni Grove]].

Unlike regular Pokémon, the [[Pokédex]] will not normally record Ultra Beasts as seen; it will only register them when they are caught. If a wild Ultra Beast is not in the Pokédex, its name will show as ??? in battle. However, Ultra Beasts used by other Trainers will display their names in battle and register in the Pokédex; specifically, this occurs for the Poipole used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] and the Kartana used by the {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}{{sup/7|US}}. Additionally, the wild Blacephalon{{sup/7|US}}/Stakataka{{sup/7|UM}} encountered in [[Poni Grove]] do display their names and are registered in the Pokédex as seen even before the player catches them.

==In the anime==
Nihilego debuted in a flashback in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', where {{an|Gladion}} revealed to {{Ash}} that {{an|Lillie}} was once attacked by one when she was younger, resulting in her present-day fear of touching Pokémon. It appeared again in another flashback in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''.

In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', Faba managed to summon {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego|another Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. [[Lusamine]], Gladion, and Ash briefly battled the Ultra Beast before it took Lusamine into the Ultra Wormhole and disappeared. They were given the proper name Nihilego in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

Multiple Nihilego appeared in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' in [[Ultra Deep Sea]].

Nihilego appeared again in a flashback, and {{AP|Poipole}} debuted in ''The Professors' New Adventure!''. It would eventually be caught by Ash in ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]''.

Buzzwole debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', where it wreaked havoc throughout [[Melemele Island]] until the [[Ultra Guardians]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a {{ball|Beast}} and released it back into [[Ultra Space]]. In this episode, it is also revealed that despite being Pokémon, {{MTR}} cannot understand what Ultra Beasts are saying.

Celesteela debuted in ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', where {{an|Sophocles}} found one while camping at [[Bamboo Hill]]. He and {{ashcl}} dug it out of the ground, and although the Ultra Guardians failed to catch it due to the fact that it was rooted down, it eventually flew off back into space. Unlike other Ultra Beasts, this Celesteela had been growing in [[Alola]] for more than 200 years.

''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'' saw the debut of both Blacephalon and Xurkitree. Ash and his classmates first encountered Blacephalon performing during a fireworks show, thinking that it was a part of the show. The next day, they learned that it was an Ultra Beast and set out as the Ultra Guardians to capture it. However, instead of Blacephalon, they encountered a different Ultra Beast, Xurkitree. After preventing Xurkitree from feeding on electricity from a power line, the Blacephalon from the night before appeared. The two Ultra Beasts ended up in a performance showdown, each trying to outperform the other with their moves. Thanks to a distraction from the Ultra Guardians, they were able to distract, weaken, and subsequently catch the two Ultra Beasts, allowing them to be returned home.

{{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Naganadel}} debuted in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', where it appeared inside the dream of [[Ash's Poipole]] located inside of an unknown [[Ultra Space]] nest location. It physically debuted in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', where it revealed that Ash's Poipole originally came to Alola to scout for a place for it and its hive to live.

Stakataka debuted in ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]'', where it arrived at the [[Pokémon School]] during midnight. After several unsuccessful attempts, it later moved to another location where it was mistaken for a pedestal for [[Viren]]'s statue. The statue being placed on top of it caused it to go berserk, necessitating intervention by the Ultra Guardians.

{{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Guzzlord}} debuted in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', where it was shown to have destroyed an alternate version of [[Hau'oli City]], leaving behind the [[Ultra Ruin]]. In the present day, it attacked {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} before they were saved by {{al|Dia}} and his {{p|Zeraora}}. In ''[[SM101|Parallel Friendships!]]'', Ash and Dia successfully sent it back to its home world through an [[Ultra Wormhole]], saving the Ultra Ruin.

Pheromosa debuted in [[SM114]], where it was stealing all of the [[Z-Crystal]]s from {{pkmn|Trainer}}s throughout the [[Alola]] region. After several unsuccessful attempts by the Ultra Guardians to stop it, it was eventually defeated by {{an|Bewear}}, giving the Ultra Guardians the opportunity to catch it and send it back home.

Kartana will debut in [[SM124]].

In the anime, [[Nebby]] was speculated to be an Ultra Beast by the [[Aether Foundation]] before its relationship to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}} was fully understood. Similarly, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}}, having not yet been identified as the "Blinding One" of Alolan myth, was given the codename UB Black (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black'').

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Ultra Beasts debuted in the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. They were first mentioned in [[PASM07]] by [[Gladion]], who, after losing to {{adv|Sun}} at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament, contemplated losing his chance to meet with the [[Guardian deities]] and instead decided to train elsewhere to prepare to confront the Ultra Beasts when they arrive.

In ''[[PASM09|True Identity and the Totem Pokémon of Brooklet Hill]]'', {{adv|Moon}} and [[Mallow]] found {{p|Tapu Lele}} battling a {{p|Xurkitree}} as it was emerging from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] above [[Lush Jungle]]. Moon attempted to capture the Xurkitree, but it managed to retreat back inside the Ultra Wormhole and escape. Later, the two chose to give it the codename "Lighting" to avoid having to describe its appearance every time when talking about it.

Later, [[Guzma]] was confronted by the [[Kiawe]], Mallow, Lana, [[Acerola]], [[Ilima]], and [[Hau]], who had traveled to [[Po Town]] to talk with the [[Team Skull]] boss. Guzma instead sent a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}} to attack the Captains' group. After the beasts proceeded to defeat the Captains' Pokémon, Guzma used a {{p|Cosmog}} to open more Ultra Wormholes, summoning a Xurkitree and a {{p|Nihilego}}. The Captains were rescued by [[Gladion]], who used his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} to battle the beasts, and managed to easily hold them back due to being created specifically to combat them.

Afterward, Nihilego captured Guzma and dragged him into an Ultra Wormhole with it. The other beasts escaped from Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of [[Ula'ula Island]]. {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} and [[Looker]] arrived shortly thereafter, and while Looker went off to investigate the Ultra Beasts that broke through the walls, Anabel assisted Sun and Moon in battling a {{p|Blacephalon}}. Anabel attempted to capture Blacephalon, only to discover that ordinary [[Poké Ball]]s do not work on Ultra Beasts. Before Blacephalon could retaliate with {{m|Mind Blown}}, {{p|Tapu Bulu}} blew it away. Afterward, while Sun, Moon, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, and [[Professor Burnet]] gave Tapu Bulu a [[Mirage Berry]], Anabel speculated that there was a certain person hiding in Alola, who was capable of creating Poké Balls that would be able to capture Ultra Beasts.

==In the TCG==
{{incomplete|section}}
Ultra Beasts were introduced to the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|Crimson Invasion}} expansion as a classification of {{TCG|Pokémon}} cards. Certain {{TCG|attack}}s, {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}}, {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, and {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s interact specifically with Ultra Beast cards. Unlike the [[core series]] of games, the TCG considers Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma to be Ultra Beasts. Every Ultra Beast card has an attack or Ability that affects or is affected by the player or opponent's {{TCG|Prize card}}s. In the case of an [[Pokémon-GX (TCG)|Ultra Beast GX card]], this is always its GX attack. Several of the Ultra Beast-related Trainer cards interact with Prize cards as well. This association with Prize cards may be a reference to the Ultra Beasts' [[Ability]] {{a|Beast Boost}} in the core series, as both Beast Boost and Prize cards center around knocking out the opponent's Pokémon.

Ultra Beast cards are distinguished by a red '''''Ultra Beast''''' label superimposed on the card art below the {{stat|HP}} and {{TCG|type}}. Ultra Beast GX cards have a red {{red GX}} graphic instead of the blue {{GX}} graphic depicted on other other Pokémon-GX cards. Additionally, the GX attack bar, effect text, Pokémon-GX rule box, and outlines for the {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} graphics are colored red rather than blue. This red motif may be a reference to the red aura surrounding wild Ultra Beasts in the core series of games.

==Trivia==
* The [[base stats]] of the Ultra Beasts, and the levels at which they learn moves (except level 1) are all {{wp|prime number}}s. They share this trait with {{p|Cosmog}} and its evolutions. The only exception is {{p|Naganadel}}, which has a {{stat|Speed}} stat of 121, which is a {{wp|prime power}}.
** All Ultra Beasts except Poipole and Naganadel have a base stat total of 570.
* Of all the Ultra Beasts, {{p|Buzzwole}} knows the most moves via level up with 20, and {{p|Blacephalon}} is the one with the least, with 11.
* The Ultra Beasts and the [[light trio]] (plus their pre-evolutions {{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}}) all share a unique sound frequency found within or after their [[Cry|cries]], approximately 1.250 seconds in duration. This may reflect their connection to and natural origin from Ultra Space.
* The only Ultra Beasts that are part of an evolutionary line are {{p|Poipole}} and Naganadel.
* Although the Ultra Beasts are not {{pkmn2|Legendary}},<ref>[https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/information/38d5a921-a2e3-4183-a1f1-42e0b5900972 Powerful Pokémon Clash in Rating Battle Season 13] ([http://pokemonglobalnews.tumblr.com/post/179836491622/powerful-pok%C3%A9mon-clash-in-rating-battle-season-13 mirror])</ref><ref>[https://imgur.com/a/Xl2DknQ Legendary Pokémon quiz] (The correct answer was "Pheromosa")</ref> they share some characteristics with numerous Legendary Pokémon: they all are {{cat|Genderless Pokémon|genderless}}, are in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} egg group, are scripted encounters, have special battle music, are guaranteed to have at least three {{IV}}s of 31, and have special [[Rotom Pokédex]] pages.
** If the player chooses to filter out people seeking {{pkmn2|Mythical}} or Legendary Pokémon on the [[Global Trade System]], then people seeking Ultra Beasts will not be displayed.
* {{p|Buzzwole}}, {{p|Xurkitree}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}}'s Ultra Sun Pokédex entries; and {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Kartana}}'s Ultra Moon Pokédex entries have exactly the same text. They are the only Pokémon with Pokédex entries identical to another Pokémon. The Pokédex entry reads as: "Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives."
* The Ultra Beasts are based on the idea of {{wp|invasive species}}, as stated by [[Shigeru Ohmori]] in an interview in ''[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]''.

[[File:Sun Moon Ultra Beasts artwork.png|thumb|370px|Artwork drawn by [[Hitoshi Ariga]] depicting the first Ultra Beasts to appear in the series]]
The '''Ultra Beasts''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラビースト''' ''Ultra Beast'') are a group of {{DL|Extraterrestrial Pokémon|extradimensional Pokémon}} originating from [[Ultra Space]]. They possess power that transcends humans' understanding of the world.

Ultra Beasts infrequently appear from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in [[Alola]]. These appearances are apparently as unexpected for the Ultra Beasts as for Alolans, which tends to make them combative. They are especially drawn to people who have passed through an [[Ultra Wormhole]], due to the residual wormhole energy on them, apparently expecting to find a wormhole they can use to return home.

There are currently eleven known Ultra Beasts:
* {{p|Nihilego}} (codenamed UB-01 Symbiont)
* {{p|Buzzwole}} (codenamed UB-02 Absorption){{sup/7|SUS}}
* {{p|Pheromosa}} (codenamed UB-02 Beauty){{sup/7|MUM}}
* {{p|Xurkitree}} (codenamed UB-03 Lighting)
* {{p|Celesteela}} (codenamed UB-04 Blaster){{sup/7|MUM}}
* {{p|Kartana}} (codenamed UB-04 Blade){{sup/7|SUS}}

All Ultra Beasts share the [[Ability]] {{a|Beast Boost}}.

When encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, the residual energy from Ultra Wormholes manifests as a red aura that boosts one of their [[Statistic|stats]] at the start of {{pkmn|battle}}, similar to a [[Totem Pokémon]]'s orange aura. [[Wicke]] theorizes that they store this energy in their bodies.

Most Poké Balls have difficulty recognizing Ultra Beasts as Pokémon due to their extradimensional origins, impairing their ability to effectively catch them. Only the [[Master Ball]] and {{ball|Beast}}s escape this impairment.

Although unconfirmed, [[Aether Foundation]] scientists hypothesized that {{p|Cosmog}} is also an Ultra Beast, due to its ability to create Ultra Wormholes. {{p|Necrozma}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry also states that it is "reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts", but when it was in the wild, the International Police reported that all Ultra Beasts it had detected had been caught, and Beast Balls are not effective at catching it. Additionally, [[Dulse]] refers to Necrozma as "a creature almost like an Ultra Beast" in Pokémon Ultra Sun. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Aether Foundation, mistaking {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} for an Ultra Beast, gives it the codename "UB Black".

==History==
Although an extremely rare event, legends in Alola tell of fearsome Pokémon appearing from Ultra Wormholes. The legends also tell that the [[guardian deities]] would fight fiercely against them.

Years prior to the events of {{g|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Mohn|Professor Mohn]] published a theory on Ultra Wormholes and papers describing {{p|Nihilego}}.

The Aether Foundation also conducted research on the Ultra Beasts. This included the development of the Beast Killer project to create a Pokémon—{{p|Type: Null|Type: Full}}—that could fight against Ultra Beasts. The Beast Killer project ended in failure, and the three known Type: Full were cryogenically frozen and their names changed to Type: Null. It also developed the {{ball|Beast}} to catch the Ultra Beasts.

The [[International Police]] have also tracked Ultra Beasts in the past and into the present under a secret division known as the UB Task Force. The UB Task Force is tasked with investigating the ecology of Ultra Beasts, protecting people from harm from them, and either safeguarding or destroying the Ultra Beasts. Ten years prior to the events of Sun and Moon, a three-person team composed of [[Looker]], [[Nanu]], and an unnamed {{DL|Ultra Wormhole|Fallers|Faller}} came to Alola to track down and destroy a Guzzlord; in the process, the Faller was killed. The International Police refer to each of the Ultra Beasts by code names.

The first reported sightings of Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Kartana, and Celesteela were after the incident at [[Aether Paradise]] where Lusamine forced Cosmog to create an Ultra Wormhole and used it to travel to Ultra Space.

The first reported sightings of Stakataka and Blacephalon were after the incident at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}} when {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}{{sup/7|UM}} opened many [[Ultra Wormhole]]s across Alola. The first reported sighting of Poipole was by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].

==In the games==
===Pokémon Sun and Moon===
During the main story, the player encounters {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]] during their first meeting with Aether President [[Lusamine]], when it emerges from a spontaneously appearing [[Ultra Wormhole]]. During the player's confrontation with Lusamine after she captures [[Nebby]], Lusamine uses Nebby's power to open Ultra Wormholes across the Alola region, bringing Ultra Beasts into the region; Nihilego is seen emerging from the portal near Lusamine, while {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|M}} is seen emerging from a portal over [[Melemele Island]] and battling {{p|Tapu Koko}}. The player also encounters several {{p|Nihilego}} in [[Ultra Space]] after arriving with {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} and [[Lillie]].

After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, some Ultra Beasts remain at large around Alola. The player receives [[Enigmatic Card|a card]] from a stranger directing them to visit the motel on [[Akala Island]]'s {{rt|8|Alola}}. When they enter the guest room, they will find [[Looker]] and [[Salon Maiden Anabel|Anabel]], who invite the player to join the International Police's UB Task Force and protect the Ultra Beasts currently loose in Alola. Upon accepting, the player begins a series of missions to capture the Ultra Beasts, spanning all four of Alola's islands, each time based out of the island's motel (or the restaurant on [[Poni Island]]). In some missions, there are multiple of the same species of Ultra Beast to be captured, and in some missions they may be found at either of two locations. If the player [[escape|flees]] from or defeats an Ultra Beast, it remains in the area and the player will still be able to find it again immediately (either at the same place or at the alternate location, if applicable). When the player is in an area where there are Ultra Beasts during a mission, the music changes from the area's normal score.

All [[Poké Ball]]s except [[Master Ball]]s and {{ball|Beast}}s have a [[catch rate]] multiplier of 0.1× against Ultra Beasts; the Beast Ball has a catch rate multiplier of 5× for Ultra Beasts. If a Beast Ball is used against any other type of Pokémon, its catch rate multiplier is 0.1×.

Unlike regular Pokémon, the [[Pokédex]] will not record Ultra Beasts as seen; it will only register them when they are caught. If an Ultra Beast is not in the Pokédex, its name will show as ??? in battle.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
During the story, the player encounters {{p|Poipole}} as the main Pokémon used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] member [[Dulse]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Soliera]]{{sup/7|UM}}. Like in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, {{p|Nihilego}} appears at [[Aether Paradise]] after meeting with [[Lusamine]]. During the player's confrontation with Dusk Mane{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings{{sup/7|UM}} {{p|Necrozma}}, it proceeds to open multiple [[Ultra Wormhole|Ultra Wormholes]] all across [[Alola]], unleashing Ultra Beasts into Alola. {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} appears on [[Mahalo Trail]], facing against [[Hala]], [[Hau]], and {{p|Tapu Koko}}. Additionally, [[Olivia]] encounters {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} at the [[Ruins of Life]], [[Nanu]] encounters {{p|Guzzlord}} at the [[Ruins of Abundance]], and [[Hapu]] encounters [[Xurkitree]] at the [[Ruins of Hope]].

The first seven Ultra Beasts can be reached in white [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in the [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. {{p|Nihilego}} can be found in [[Ultra Deep Sea]], {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Jungle]], {{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Desert]], {{p|Xurkitree}} in [[Ultra Plant]], {{p|Celesteela}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Crater]], {{p|Kartana}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Forest]], and {{p|Guzzlord}} in [[Ultra Ruin]]. They can be caught once per visit. After defeating {{p|Necrozma}} at [[Megalo Tower]], the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] offers {{p|Poipole}} to the player, and after the player becomes the Champion, the player can catch two {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} at [[Poni Grove]].

Unlike regular Pokémon, the [[Pokédex]] will not normally record Ultra Beasts as seen; it will only register them when they are caught. If a wild Ultra Beast is not in the Pokédex, its name will show as ??? in battle. However, Ultra Beasts used by other Trainers will display their names in battle and register in the Pokédex; specifically, this occurs for the Poipole used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] and the Kartana used by the {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}{{sup/7|US}}. Additionally, the wild Blacephalon{{sup/7|US}}/Stakataka{{sup/7|UM}} encountered in [[Poni Grove]] do display their names and are registered in the Pokédex as seen even before the player catches them.

==In the anime==
Nihilego debuted in a flashback in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', where {{an|Gladion}} revealed to {{Ash}} that {{an|Lillie}} was once attacked by one when she was younger, resulting in her present-day fear of touching Pokémon. It appeared again in another flashback in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''.

In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', Faba managed to summon {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego|another Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. [[Lusamine]], Gladion, and Ash briefly battled the Ultra Beast before it took Lusamine into the Ultra Wormhole and disappeared. They were given the proper name Nihilego in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

Multiple Nihilego appeared in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' in [[Ultra Deep Sea]].

Nihilego appeared again in a flashback, and {{AP|Poipole}} debuted in ''The Professors' New Adventure!''. It would eventually be caught by Ash in ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]''.

Buzzwole debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', where it wreaked havoc throughout [[Melemele Island]] until the [[Ultra Guardians]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a {{ball|Beast}} and released it back into [[Ultra Space]]. In this episode, it is also revealed that despite being Pokémon, {{MTR}} cannot understand what Ultra Beasts are saying.

Celesteela debuted in ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', where {{an|Sophocles}} found one while camping at [[Bamboo Hill]]. He and {{ashcl}} dug it out of the ground, and although the Ultra Guardians failed to catch it due to the fact that it was rooted down, it eventually flew off back into space. Unlike other Ultra Beasts, this Celesteela had been growing in [[Alola]] for more than 200 years.

''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'' saw the debut of both Blacephalon and Xurkitree. Ash and his classmates first encountered Blacephalon performing during a fireworks show, thinking that it was a part of the show. The next day, they learned that it was an Ultra Beast and set out as the Ultra Guardians to capture it. However, instead of Blacephalon, they encountered a different Ultra Beast, Xurkitree. After preventing Xurkitree from feeding on electricity from a power line, the Blacephalon from the night before appeared. The two Ultra Beasts ended up in a performance showdown, each trying to outperform the other with their moves. Thanks to a distraction from the Ultra Guardians, they were able to distract, weaken, and subsequently catch the two Ultra Beasts, allowing them to be returned home.

{{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Naganadel}} debuted in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', where it appeared inside the dream of [[Ash's Poipole]] located inside of an unknown [[Ultra Space]] nest location. It physically debuted in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', where it revealed that Ash's Poipole originally came to Alola to scout for a place for it and its hive to live.

Stakataka debuted in ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]'', where it arrived at the [[Pokémon School]] during midnight. After several unsuccessful attempts, it later moved to another location where it was mistaken for a pedestal for [[Viren]]'s statue. The statue being placed on top of it caused it to go berserk, necessitating intervention by the Ultra Guardians.

{{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Guzzlord}} debuted in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', where it was shown to have destroyed an alternate version of [[Hau'oli City]], leaving behind the [[Ultra Ruin]]. In the present day, it attacked {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} before they were saved by {{al|Dia}} and his {{p|Zeraora}}. In ''[[SM101|Parallel Friendships!]]'', Ash and Dia successfully sent it back to its home world through an [[Ultra Wormhole]], saving the Ultra Ruin.

Pheromosa debuted in [[SM114]], where it was stealing all of the [[Z-Crystal]]s from {{pkmn|Trainer}}s throughout the [[Alola]] region. After several unsuccessful attempts by the Ultra Guardians to stop it, it was eventually defeated by {{an|Bewear}}, giving the Ultra Guardians the opportunity to catch it and send it back home.

Kartana will debut in [[SM124]].

In the anime, [[Nebby]] was speculated to be an Ultra Beast by the [[Aether Foundation]] before its relationship to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}} was fully understood. Similarly, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}}, having not yet been identified as the "Blinding One" of Alolan myth, was given the codename UB Black (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black'').

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Ultra Beasts debuted in the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. They were first mentioned in [[PASM07]] by [[Gladion]], who, after losing to {{adv|Sun}} at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament, contemplated losing his chance to meet with the [[Guardian deities]] and instead decided to train elsewhere to prepare to confront the Ultra Beasts when they arrive.

In ''[[PASM09|True Identity and the Totem Pokémon of Brooklet Hill]]'', {{adv|Moon}} and [[Mallow]] found {{p|Tapu Lele}} battling a {{p|Xurkitree}} as it was emerging from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] above [[Lush Jungle]]. Moon attempted to capture the Xurkitree, but it managed to retreat back inside the Ultra Wormhole and escape. Later, the two chose to give it the codename "Lighting" to avoid having to describe its appearance every time when talking about it.

Later, [[Guzma]] was confronted by the [[Kiawe]], Mallow, Lana, [[Acerola]], [[Ilima]], and [[Hau]], who had traveled to [[Po Town]] to talk with the [[Team Skull]] boss. Guzma instead sent a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}} to attack the Captains' group. After the beasts proceeded to defeat the Captains' Pokémon, Guzma used a {{p|Cosmog}} to open more Ultra Wormholes, summoning a Xurkitree and a {{p|Nihilego}}. The Captains were rescued by [[Gladion]], who used his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} to battle the beasts, and managed to easily hold them back due to being created specifically to combat them.

Afterward, Nihilego captured Guzma and dragged him into an Ultra Wormhole with it. The other beasts escaped from Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of [[Ula'ula Island]]. {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} and [[Looker]] arrived shortly thereafter, and while Looker went off to investigate the Ultra Beasts that broke through the walls, Anabel assisted Sun and Moon in battling a {{p|Blacephalon}}. Anabel attempted to capture Blacephalon, only to discover that ordinary [[Poké Ball]]s do not work on Ultra Beasts. Before Blacephalon could retaliate with {{m|Mind Blown}}, {{p|Tapu Bulu}} blew it away. Afterward, while Sun, Moon, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, and [[Professor Burnet]] gave Tapu Bulu a [[Mirage Berry]], Anabel speculated that there was a certain person hiding in Alola, who was capable of creating Poké Balls that would be able to capture Ultra Beasts.

==In the TCG==
{{incomplete|section}}
Ultra Beasts were introduced to the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|Crimson Invasion}} expansion as a classification of {{TCG|Pokémon}} cards. Certain {{TCG|attack}}s, {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}}, {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, and {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s interact specifically with Ultra Beast cards. Unlike the [[core series]] of games, the TCG considers Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma to be Ultra Beasts. Every Ultra Beast card has an attack or Ability that affects or is affected by the player or opponent's {{TCG|Prize card}}s. In the case of an [[Pokémon-GX (TCG)|Ultra Beast GX card]], this is always its GX attack. Several of the Ultra Beast-related Trainer cards interact with Prize cards as well. This association with Prize cards may be a reference to the Ultra Beasts' [[Ability]] {{a|Beast Boost}} in the core series, as both Beast Boost and Prize cards center around knocking out the opponent's Pokémon.

Ultra Beast cards are distinguished by a red '''''Ultra Beast''''' label superimposed on the card art below the {{stat|HP}} and {{TCG|type}}. Ultra Beast GX cards have a red {{red GX}} graphic instead of the blue {{GX}} graphic depicted on other other Pokémon-GX cards. Additionally, the GX attack bar, effect text, Pokémon-GX rule box, and outlines for the {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} graphics are colored red rather than blue. This red motif may be a reference to the red aura surrounding wild Ultra Beasts in the core series of games.

==Trivia==
* The [[base stats]] of the Ultra Beasts, and the levels at which they learn moves (except level 1) are all {{wp|prime number}}s. They share this trait with {{p|Cosmog}} and its evolutions. The only exception is {{p|Naganadel}}, which has a {{stat|Speed}} stat of 121, which is a {{wp|prime power}}.
** All Ultra Beasts except Poipole and Naganadel have a base stat total of 570.
* Of all the Ultra Beasts, {{p|Buzzwole}} knows the most moves via level up with 20, and {{p|Blacephalon}} is the one with the least, with 11.
* The Ultra Beasts and the [[light trio]] (plus their pre-evolutions {{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}}) all share a unique sound frequency found within or after their [[Cry|cries]], approximately 1.250 seconds in duration. This may reflect their connection to and natural origin from Ultra Space.
* The only Ultra Beasts that are part of an evolutionary line are {{p|Poipole}} and Naganadel.
* Although the Ultra Beasts are not {{pkmn2|Legendary}},<ref>[https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/information/38d5a921-a2e3-4183-a1f1-42e0b5900972 Powerful Pokémon Clash in Rating Battle Season 13] ([http://pokemonglobalnews.tumblr.com/post/179836491622/powerful-pok%C3%A9mon-clash-in-rating-battle-season-13 mirror])</ref><ref>[https://imgur.com/a/Xl2DknQ Legendary Pokémon quiz] (The correct answer was "Pheromosa")</ref> they share some characteristics with numerous Legendary Pokémon: they all are {{cat|Genderless Pokémon|genderless}}, are in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} egg group, are scripted encounters, have special battle music, are guaranteed to have at least three {{IV}}s of 31, and have special [[Rotom Pokédex]] pages.
** If the player chooses to filter out people seeking {{pkmn2|Mythical}} or Legendary Pokémon on the [[Global Trade System]], then people seeking Ultra Beasts will not be displayed.
* {{p|Buzzwole}}, {{p|Xurkitree}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}}'s Ultra Sun Pokédex entries; and {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Kartana}}'s Ultra Moon Pokédex entries have exactly the same text. They are the only Pokémon with Pokédex entries identical to another Pokémon. The Pokédex entry reads as: "Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives."
* The Ultra Beasts are based on the idea of {{wp|invasive species}}, as stated by [[Shigeru Ohmori]] in an interview in ''[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]''.

Ultra Beast

Jsphmagana: /* Trivia */

{{incomplete|2=Updating History section with USUM information}}
[[File:Sun Moon Ultra Beasts artwork.png|thumb|370px|Artwork drawn by [[Hitoshi Ariga]] depicting the first Ultra Beasts to appear in the series]]
The '''Ultra Beasts''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラビースト''' ''Ultra Beast'') are a group of {{DL|Extraterrestrial Pokémon|extradimensional Pokémon}} originating from [[Ultra Space]]. They possess power that transcends humans' understanding of the world.

Ultra Beasts infrequently appear from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in [[Alola]]. These appearances are apparently as unexpected for the Ultra Beasts as for Alolans, which tends to make them combative. They are especially drawn to people who have passed through an [[Ultra Wormhole]], due to the residual wormhole energy on them, apparently expecting to find a wormhole they can use to return home.

There are currently eleven known Ultra Beasts:
* {{p|Nihilego}} (codenamed UB-01 Symbiont)
* {{p|Buzzwole}} (codenamed UB-02 Absorption){{sup/7|SUS}}
* {{p|Pheromosa}} (codenamed UB-02 Beauty){{sup/7|MUM}}
* {{p|Xurkitree}} (codenamed UB-03 Lighting)
* {{p|Celesteela}} (codenamed UB-04 Blaster){{sup/7|MUM}}
* {{p|Kartana}} (codenamed UB-04 Blade){{sup/7|SUS}}
* {{p|Guzzlord}} (codenamed UB-05 Glutton)
* {{p|Poipole}} (codenamed UB Adhesive){{sup/7|USUM}}
* {{p|Naganadel}} (codenamed UB Stinger){{sup/7|USUM}}
* {{p|Stakataka}} (codenamed UB Assembly){{sup/7|UM}}
* {{p|Blacephalon}} (codenamed UB Burst){{sup/7|US}}

All Ultra Beasts share the [[Ability]] {{a|Beast Boost}}.

When encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, the residual energy from Ultra Wormholes manifests as a red aura that boosts one of their [[Statistic|stats]] at the start of {{pkmn|battle}}, similar to a [[Totem Pokémon]]'s orange aura. [[Wicke]] theorizes that they store this energy in their bodies.

Most Poké Balls have difficulty recognizing Ultra Beasts as Pokémon due to their extradimensional origins, impairing their ability to effectively catch them. Only the [[Master Ball]] and {{ball|Beast}}s escape this impairment.

Although unconfirmed, [[Aether Foundation]] scientists hypothesized that {{p|Cosmog}} is also an Ultra Beast, due to its ability to create Ultra Wormholes. {{p|Necrozma}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry also states that it is "reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts", but when it was in the wild, the International Police reported that all Ultra Beasts it had detected had been caught, and Beast Balls are not effective at catching it. Additionally, [[Dulse]] refers to Necrozma as "a creature almost like an Ultra Beast" in Pokémon Ultra Sun. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Aether Foundation, mistaking {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} for an Ultra Beast, gives it the codename "UB Black".

==History==
Although an extremely rare event, legends in Alola tell of fearsome Pokémon appearing from Ultra Wormholes. The legends also tell that the [[guardian deities]] would fight fiercely against them.

Years prior to the events of {{g|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Mohn|Professor Mohn]] published a theory on Ultra Wormholes and papers describing {{p|Nihilego}}.

The Aether Foundation also conducted research on the Ultra Beasts. This included the development of the Beast Killer project to create a Pokémon—{{p|Type: Null|Type: Full}}—that could fight against Ultra Beasts. The Beast Killer project ended in failure, and the three known Type: Full were cryogenically frozen and their names changed to Type: Null. It also developed the {{ball|Beast}} to catch the Ultra Beasts.

The [[International Police]] have also tracked Ultra Beasts in the past and into the present under a secret division known as the UB Task Force. The UB Task Force is tasked with investigating the ecology of Ultra Beasts, protecting people from harm from them, and either safeguarding or destroying the Ultra Beasts. Ten years prior to the events of Sun and Moon, a three-person team composed of [[Looker]], [[Nanu]], and an unnamed {{DL|Ultra Wormhole|Fallers|Faller}} came to Alola to track down and destroy a Guzzlord; in the process, the Faller was killed. The International Police refer to each of the Ultra Beasts by code names.

The first reported sightings of Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Kartana, and Celesteela were after the incident at [[Aether Paradise]] where Lusamine forced Cosmog to create an Ultra Wormhole and used it to travel to Ultra Space.

The first reported sightings of Stakataka and Blacephalon were after the incident at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}} when {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}{{sup/7|UM}} opened many [[Ultra Wormhole]]s across Alola. The first reported sighting of Poipole was by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].

==In the games==
===Pokémon Sun and Moon===
During the main story, the player encounters {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]] during their first meeting with Aether President [[Lusamine]], when it emerges from a spontaneously appearing [[Ultra Wormhole]]. During the player's confrontation with Lusamine after she captures [[Nebby]], Lusamine uses Nebby's power to open Ultra Wormholes across the Alola region, bringing Ultra Beasts into the region; Nihilego is seen emerging from the portal near Lusamine, while {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|M}} is seen emerging from a portal over [[Melemele Island]] and battling {{p|Tapu Koko}}. The player also encounters several {{p|Nihilego}} in [[Ultra Space]] after arriving with {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} and [[Lillie]].

After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, some Ultra Beasts remain at large around Alola. The player receives [[Enigmatic Card|a card]] from a stranger directing them to visit the motel on [[Akala Island]]'s {{rt|8|Alola}}. When they enter the guest room, they will find [[Looker]] and [[Salon Maiden Anabel|Anabel]], who invite the player to join the International Police's UB Task Force and protect the Ultra Beasts currently loose in Alola. Upon accepting, the player begins a series of missions to capture the Ultra Beasts, spanning all four of Alola's islands, each time based out of the island's motel (or the restaurant on [[Poni Island]]). In some missions, there are multiple of the same species of Ultra Beast to be captured, and in some missions they may be found at either of two locations. If the player [[escape|flees]] from or defeats an Ultra Beast, it remains in the area and the player will still be able to find it again immediately (either at the same place or at the alternate location, if applicable). When the player is in an area where there are Ultra Beasts during a mission, the music changes from the area's normal score.

All [[Poké Ball]]s except [[Master Ball]]s and {{ball|Beast}}s have a [[catch rate]] multiplier of 0.1× against Ultra Beasts; the Beast Ball has a catch rate multiplier of 5× for Ultra Beasts. If a Beast Ball is used against any other type of Pokémon, its catch rate multiplier is 0.1×.

Unlike regular Pokémon, the [[Pokédex]] will not record Ultra Beasts as seen; it will only register them when they are caught. If an Ultra Beast is not in the Pokédex, its name will show as ??? in battle.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
During the story, the player encounters {{p|Poipole}} as the main Pokémon used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] member [[Dulse]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Soliera]]{{sup/7|UM}}. Like in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, {{p|Nihilego}} appears at [[Aether Paradise]] after meeting with [[Lusamine]]. During the player's confrontation with Dusk Mane{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings{{sup/7|UM}} {{p|Necrozma}}, it proceeds to open multiple [[Ultra Wormhole|Ultra Wormholes]] all across [[Alola]], unleashing Ultra Beasts into Alola. {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} appears on [[Mahalo Trail]], facing against [[Hala]], [[Hau]], and {{p|Tapu Koko}}. Additionally, [[Olivia]] encounters {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} at the [[Ruins of Life]], [[Nanu]] encounters {{p|Guzzlord}} at the [[Ruins of Abundance]], and [[Hapu]] encounters [[Xurkitree]] at the [[Ruins of Hope]].

The first seven Ultra Beasts can be reached in white [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in the [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. {{p|Nihilego}} can be found in [[Ultra Deep Sea]], {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Jungle]], {{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Desert]], {{p|Xurkitree}} in [[Ultra Plant]], {{p|Celesteela}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Crater]], {{p|Kartana}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Forest]], and {{p|Guzzlord}} in [[Ultra Ruin]]. They can be caught once per visit. After defeating {{p|Necrozma}} at [[Megalo Tower]], the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] offers {{p|Poipole}} to the player, and after the player becomes the Champion, the player can catch two {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} at [[Poni Grove]].

Unlike regular Pokémon, the [[Pokédex]] will not normally record Ultra Beasts as seen; it will only register them when they are caught. If a wild Ultra Beast is not in the Pokédex, its name will show as ??? in battle. However, Ultra Beasts used by other Trainers will display their names in battle and register in the Pokédex; specifically, this occurs for the Poipole used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] and the Kartana used by the {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}{{sup/7|US}}. Additionally, the wild Blacephalon{{sup/7|US}}/Stakataka{{sup/7|UM}} encountered in [[Poni Grove]] do display their names and are registered in the Pokédex as seen even before the player catches them.

==In the anime==
Nihilego debuted in a flashback in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', where {{an|Gladion}} revealed to {{Ash}} that {{an|Lillie}} was once attacked by one when she was younger, resulting in her present-day fear of touching Pokémon. It appeared again in another flashback in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''.

In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', Faba managed to summon {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego|another Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. [[Lusamine]], Gladion, and Ash briefly battled the Ultra Beast before it took Lusamine into the Ultra Wormhole and disappeared. They were given the proper name Nihilego in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

Multiple Nihilego appeared in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' in [[Ultra Deep Sea]].

Nihilego appeared again in a flashback, and {{AP|Poipole}} debuted in ''The Professors' New Adventure!''. It would eventually be caught by Ash in ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]''.

Buzzwole debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', where it wreaked havoc throughout [[Melemele Island]] until the [[Ultra Guardians]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a {{ball|Beast}} and released it back into [[Ultra Space]]. In this episode, it is also revealed that despite being Pokémon, {{MTR}} cannot understand what Ultra Beasts are saying.

Celesteela debuted in ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', where {{an|Sophocles}} found one while camping at [[Bamboo Hill]]. He and {{ashcl}} dug it out of the ground, and although the Ultra Guardians failed to catch it due to the fact that it was rooted down, it eventually flew off back into space. Unlike other Ultra Beasts, this Celesteela had been growing in [[Alola]] for more than 200 years.

''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'' saw the debut of both Blacephalon and Xurkitree. Ash and his classmates first encountered Blacephalon performing during a fireworks show, thinking that it was a part of the show. The next day, they learned that it was an Ultra Beast and set out as the Ultra Guardians to capture it. However, instead of Blacephalon, they encountered a different Ultra Beast, Xurkitree. After preventing Xurkitree from feeding on electricity from a power line, the Blacephalon from the night before appeared. The two Ultra Beasts ended up in a performance showdown, each trying to outperform the other with their moves. Thanks to a distraction from the Ultra Guardians, they were able to distract, weaken, and subsequently catch the two Ultra Beasts, allowing them to be returned home.

{{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Naganadel}} debuted in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', where it appeared inside the dream of [[Ash's Poipole]] located inside of an unknown [[Ultra Space]] nest location. It physically debuted in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', where it revealed that Ash's Poipole originally came to Alola to scout for a place for it and its hive to live.

Stakataka debuted in ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]'', where it arrived at the [[Pokémon School]] during midnight. After several unsuccessful attempts, it later moved to another location where it was mistaken for a pedestal for [[Viren]]'s statue. The statue being placed on top of it caused it to go berserk, necessitating intervention by the Ultra Guardians.

Guzzlord debuted in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', where it was shown to have destroyed an alternate version of [[Hau'oli City]], leaving behind the [[Ultra Ruin]].

Pheromosa debuted in [[SM114]], where it was stealing all the [[Z-Crystals]] from {{Pkmn|Trainers}} throughout the [[Alola]] region.

Kartana will debut in [[SM124]].

In the anime, [[Nebby]] was speculated to be an Ultra Beast by the [[Aether Foundation]] before its relationship to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}} was fully understood. Similarly, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}}, having not yet been identified as the "Blinding One" of Alolan myth, was given the codename UB Black (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black'').

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Ultra Beasts debuted in the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. They were first mentioned in [[PASM07]] by [[Gladion]], who, after losing to {{adv|Sun}} at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament, contemplated losing his chance to meet with the [[Guardian deities]] and instead decided to train elsewhere to prepare to confront the Ultra Beasts when they arrive.

In ''[[PASM09|True Identity and the Totem Pokémon of Brooklet Hill]]'', {{adv|Moon}} and [[Mallow]] found {{p|Tapu Lele}} battling a {{p|Xurkitree}} as it was emerging from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] above [[Lush Jungle]]. Moon attempted to capture the Xurkitree, but it managed to retreat back inside the Ultra Wormhole and escape. Later, the two chose to give it the codename "Lighting" to avoid having to describe its appearance every time when talking about it.

Later, [[Guzma]] was confronted by the [[Kiawe]], Mallow, Lana, [[Acerola]], [[Ilima]], and [[Hau]], who had traveled to [[Po Town]] to talk with the [[Team Skull]] boss. Guzma instead sent a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}} to attack the Captains' group. After the beasts proceeded to defeat the Captains' Pokémon, Guzma used a {{p|Cosmog}} to open more Ultra Wormholes, summoning a Xurkitree and a {{p|Nihilego}}. The Captains were rescued by [[Gladion]], who used his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} to battle the beasts, and managed to easily hold them back due to being created specifically to combat them.

Afterward, Nihilego captured Guzma and dragged him into an Ultra Wormhole with it. The other beasts escaped from Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of [[Ula'ula Island]]. {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} and [[Looker]] arrived shortly thereafter, and while Looker went off to investigate the Ultra Beasts that broke through the walls, Anabel assisted Sun and Moon in battling a {{p|Blacephalon}}. Anabel attempted to capture Blacephalon, only to discover that ordinary [[Poké Ball]]s do not work on Ultra Beasts. Before Blacephalon could retaliate with {{m|Mind Blown}}, {{p|Tapu Bulu}} blew it away. Afterward, while Sun, Moon, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, and [[Professor Burnet]] gave Tapu Bulu a [[Mirage Berry]], Anabel speculated that there was a certain person hiding in Alola, who was capable of creating Poké Balls that would be able to capture Ultra Beasts.

==In the TCG==
{{incomplete|section}}
Ultra Beasts were introduced to the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|Crimson Invasion}} expansion as a classification of {{TCG|Pokémon}} cards. Certain {{TCG|attack}}s, {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}}, {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, and {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s interact specifically with Ultra Beast cards. Unlike the [[core series]] of games, the TCG considers Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma to be Ultra Beasts. Every Ultra Beast card has an attack or Ability that affects or is affected by the player or opponent's {{TCG|Prize card}}s. In the case of an [[Pokémon-GX (TCG)|Ultra Beast GX card]], this is always its GX attack. Several of the Ultra Beast-related Trainer cards interact with Prize cards as well. This association with Prize cards may be a reference to the Ultra Beasts' [[Ability]] {{a|Beast Boost}} in the core series, as both Beast Boost and Prize cards center around knocking out the opponent's Pokémon.

Ultra Beast cards are distinguished by a red '''''Ultra Beast''''' label superimposed on the card art below the {{stat|HP}} and {{TCG|type}}. Ultra Beast GX cards have a red {{red GX}} graphic instead of the blue {{GX}} graphic depicted on other other Pokémon-GX cards. Additionally, the GX attack bar, effect text, Pokémon-GX rule box, and outlines for the {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} graphics are colored red rather than blue. This red motif may be a reference to the red aura surrounding wild Ultra Beasts in the core series of games.

==Trivia==
* The [[base stats]] of the Ultra Beasts, and the levels at which they learn moves (except level 1) are all {{wp|prime number}}s. They share this trait with {{p|Cosmog}} and its evolutions. The only exception is {{p|Naganadel}}, which has a {{stat|Speed}} stat of 121, which is a {{wp|prime power}}.
** All Ultra Beasts except Poipole and Naganadel have a base stat total of 570.
* Of all the Ultra Beasts, {{p|Buzzwole}} knows the most moves via level up with 20, and {{p|Blacephalon}} is the one with the least, with 11.
* The Ultra Beasts and the [[light trio]] (plus their pre-evolutions {{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}}) all share a unique sound frequency found within or after their [[Cry|cries]], approximately 1.250 seconds in duration. This may reflect their connection to and natural origin from Ultra Space.
* The only Ultra Beasts that are part of an evolutionary line are {{p|Poipole}} and Naganadel.
* Although the Ultra Beasts are not {{pkmn2|Legendary}},<ref>[https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/information/38d5a921-a2e3-4183-a1f1-42e0b5900972 Powerful Pokémon Clash in Rating Battle Season 13] ([http://pokemonglobalnews.tumblr.com/post/179836491622/powerful-pok%C3%A9mon-clash-in-rating-battle-season-13 mirror])</ref><ref>[https://imgur.com/a/Xl2DknQ Legendary Pokémon quiz] (The correct answer was "Pheromosa")</ref> they share some characteristics with numerous Legendary Pokémon: they all are {{cat|Genderless Pokémon|genderless}}, are in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} egg group, are scripted encounters, have special battle music, are guaranteed to have at least three {{IV}}s of 31, and have special [[Rotom Pokédex]] pages.
** If the player chooses to filter out people seeking {{pkmn2|Mythical}} or Legendary Pokémon on the [[Global Trade System]], then people seeking Ultra Beasts will not be displayed.
* {{p|Buzzwole}}, {{p|Xurkitree}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}}'s Ultra Sun Pokédex entries; and {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Kartana}}'s Ultra Moon Pokédex entries have exactly the same text. They are the only Pokémon with Pokédex entries identical to another Pokémon. The Pokédex entry reads as: "Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives."
* The Ultra Beasts are based on the idea of {{wp|invasive species}}, as stated by [[Shigeru Ohmori]] in an interview in ''[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]''.

{{incomplete|2=Updating History section with USUM information}}
[[File:Sun Moon Ultra Beasts artwork.png|thumb|370px|Artwork drawn by [[Hitoshi Ariga]] depicting the first Ultra Beasts to appear in the series]]
The '''Ultra Beasts''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラビースト''' ''Ultra Beast'') are a group of {{DL|Extraterrestrial Pokémon|extradimensional Pokémon}} originating from [[Ultra Space]]. They possess power that transcends humans' understanding of the world.

Ultra Beasts infrequently appear from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in [[Alola]]. These appearances are apparently as unexpected for the Ultra Beasts as for Alolans, which tends to make them combative. They are especially drawn to people who have passed through an [[Ultra Wormhole]], due to the residual wormhole energy on them, apparently expecting to find a wormhole they can use to return home.

There are currently eleven known Ultra Beasts:
* {{p|Nihilego}} (codenamed UB-01 Symbiont)
* {{p|Buzzwole}} (codenamed UB-02 Absorption){{sup/7|SUS}}
* {{p|Pheromosa}} (codenamed UB-02 Beauty){{sup/7|MUM}}
* {{p|Xurkitree}} (codenamed UB-03 Lighting)
* {{p|Celesteela}} (codenamed UB-04 Blaster){{sup/7|MUM}}
* {{p|Kartana}} (codenamed UB-04 Blade){{sup/7|SUS}}
* {{p|Guzzlord}} (codenamed UB-05 Glutton)
* {{p|Poipole}} (codenamed UB Adhesive){{sup/7|USUM}}
* {{p|Naganadel}} (codenamed UB Stinger){{sup/7|USUM}}
* {{p|Stakataka}} (codenamed UB Assembly){{sup/7|UM}}
* {{p|Blacephalon}} (codenamed UB Burst){{sup/7|US}}

All Ultra Beasts share the [[Ability]] {{a|Beast Boost}}.

When encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, the residual energy from Ultra Wormholes manifests as a red aura that boosts one of their [[Statistic|stats]] at the start of {{pkmn|battle}}, similar to a [[Totem Pokémon]]'s orange aura. [[Wicke]] theorizes that they store this energy in their bodies.

Most Poké Balls have difficulty recognizing Ultra Beasts as Pokémon due to their extradimensional origins, impairing their ability to effectively catch them. Only the [[Master Ball]] and {{ball|Beast}}s escape this impairment.

Although unconfirmed, [[Aether Foundation]] scientists hypothesized that {{p|Cosmog}} is also an Ultra Beast, due to its ability to create Ultra Wormholes. {{p|Necrozma}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry also states that it is "reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts", but when it was in the wild, the International Police reported that all Ultra Beasts it had detected had been caught, and Beast Balls are not effective at catching it. Additionally, [[Dulse]] refers to Necrozma as "a creature almost like an Ultra Beast" in Pokémon Ultra Sun. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Aether Foundation, mistaking {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} for an Ultra Beast, gives it the codename "UB Black".

==History==
Although an extremely rare event, legends in Alola tell of fearsome Pokémon appearing from Ultra Wormholes. The legends also tell that the [[guardian deities]] would fight fiercely against them.

Years prior to the events of {{g|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Mohn|Professor Mohn]] published a theory on Ultra Wormholes and papers describing {{p|Nihilego}}.

The Aether Foundation also conducted research on the Ultra Beasts. This included the development of the Beast Killer project to create a Pokémon—{{p|Type: Null|Type: Full}}—that could fight against Ultra Beasts. The Beast Killer project ended in failure, and the three known Type: Full were cryogenically frozen and their names changed to Type: Null. It also developed the {{ball|Beast}} to catch the Ultra Beasts.

The [[International Police]] have also tracked Ultra Beasts in the past and into the present under a secret division known as the UB Task Force. The UB Task Force is tasked with investigating the ecology of Ultra Beasts, protecting people from harm from them, and either safeguarding or destroying the Ultra Beasts. Ten years prior to the events of Sun and Moon, a three-person team composed of [[Looker]], [[Nanu]], and an unnamed {{DL|Ultra Wormhole|Fallers|Faller}} came to Alola to track down and destroy a Guzzlord; in the process, the Faller was killed. The International Police refer to each of the Ultra Beasts by code names.

The first reported sightings of Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Kartana, and Celesteela were after the incident at [[Aether Paradise]] where Lusamine forced Cosmog to create an Ultra Wormhole and used it to travel to Ultra Space.

The first reported sightings of Stakataka and Blacephalon were after the incident at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}} when {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}{{sup/7|UM}} opened many [[Ultra Wormhole]]s across Alola. The first reported sighting of Poipole was by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].

==In the games==
===Pokémon Sun and Moon===
During the main story, the player encounters {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]] during their first meeting with Aether President [[Lusamine]], when it emerges from a spontaneously appearing [[Ultra Wormhole]]. During the player's confrontation with Lusamine after she captures [[Nebby]], Lusamine uses Nebby's power to open Ultra Wormholes across the Alola region, bringing Ultra Beasts into the region; Nihilego is seen emerging from the portal near Lusamine, while {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|M}} is seen emerging from a portal over [[Melemele Island]] and battling {{p|Tapu Koko}}. The player also encounters several {{p|Nihilego}} in [[Ultra Space]] after arriving with {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} and [[Lillie]].

After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, some Ultra Beasts remain at large around Alola. The player receives [[Enigmatic Card|a card]] from a stranger directing them to visit the motel on [[Akala Island]]'s {{rt|8|Alola}}. When they enter the guest room, they will find [[Looker]] and [[Salon Maiden Anabel|Anabel]], who invite the player to join the International Police's UB Task Force and protect the Ultra Beasts currently loose in Alola. Upon accepting, the player begins a series of missions to capture the Ultra Beasts, spanning all four of Alola's islands, each time based out of the island's motel (or the restaurant on [[Poni Island]]). In some missions, there are multiple of the same species of Ultra Beast to be captured, and in some missions they may be found at either of two locations. If the player [[escape|flees]] from or defeats an Ultra Beast, it remains in the area and the player will still be able to find it again immediately (either at the same place or at the alternate location, if applicable). When the player is in an area where there are Ultra Beasts during a mission, the music changes from the area's normal score.

All [[Poké Ball]]s except [[Master Ball]]s and {{ball|Beast}}s have a [[catch rate]] multiplier of 0.1× against Ultra Beasts; the Beast Ball has a catch rate multiplier of 5× for Ultra Beasts. If a Beast Ball is used against any other type of Pokémon, its catch rate multiplier is 0.1×.

Unlike regular Pokémon, the [[Pokédex]] will not record Ultra Beasts as seen; it will only register them when they are caught. If an Ultra Beast is not in the Pokédex, its name will show as ??? in battle.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
During the story, the player encounters {{p|Poipole}} as the main Pokémon used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] member [[Dulse]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Soliera]]{{sup/7|UM}}. Like in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, {{p|Nihilego}} appears at [[Aether Paradise]] after meeting with [[Lusamine]]. During the player's confrontation with Dusk Mane{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings{{sup/7|UM}} {{p|Necrozma}}, it proceeds to open multiple [[Ultra Wormhole|Ultra Wormholes]] all across [[Alola]], unleashing Ultra Beasts into Alola. {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} appears on [[Mahalo Trail]], facing against [[Hala]], [[Hau]], and {{p|Tapu Koko}}. Additionally, [[Olivia]] encounters {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} at the [[Ruins of Life]], [[Nanu]] encounters {{p|Guzzlord}} at the [[Ruins of Abundance]], and [[Hapu]] encounters [[Xurkitree]] at the [[Ruins of Hope]].

The first seven Ultra Beasts can be reached in white [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in the [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. {{p|Nihilego}} can be found in [[Ultra Deep Sea]], {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Jungle]], {{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Desert]], {{p|Xurkitree}} in [[Ultra Plant]], {{p|Celesteela}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Crater]], {{p|Kartana}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Forest]], and {{p|Guzzlord}} in [[Ultra Ruin]]. They can be caught once per visit. After defeating {{p|Necrozma}} at [[Megalo Tower]], the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] offers {{p|Poipole}} to the player, and after the player becomes the Champion, the player can catch two {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} at [[Poni Grove]].

Unlike regular Pokémon, the [[Pokédex]] will not normally record Ultra Beasts as seen; it will only register them when they are caught. If a wild Ultra Beast is not in the Pokédex, its name will show as ??? in battle. However, Ultra Beasts used by other Trainers will display their names in battle and register in the Pokédex; specifically, this occurs for the Poipole used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] and the Kartana used by the {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}{{sup/7|US}}. Additionally, the wild Blacephalon{{sup/7|US}}/Stakataka{{sup/7|UM}} encountered in [[Poni Grove]] do display their names and are registered in the Pokédex as seen even before the player catches them.

==In the anime==
Nihilego debuted in a flashback in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', where {{an|Gladion}} revealed to {{Ash}} that {{an|Lillie}} was once attacked by one when she was younger, resulting in her present-day fear of touching Pokémon. It appeared again in another flashback in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''.

In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', Faba managed to summon {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego|another Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. [[Lusamine]], Gladion, and Ash briefly battled the Ultra Beast before it took Lusamine into the Ultra Wormhole and disappeared. They were given the proper name Nihilego in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

Multiple Nihilego appeared in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' in [[Ultra Deep Sea]].

Nihilego appeared again in a flashback, and {{AP|Poipole}} debuted in ''The Professors' New Adventure!''. It would eventually be caught by Ash in ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]''.

Buzzwole debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', where it wreaked havoc throughout [[Melemele Island]] until the [[Ultra Guardians]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a {{ball|Beast}} and released it back into [[Ultra Space]]. In this episode, it is also revealed that despite being Pokémon, {{MTR}} cannot understand what Ultra Beasts are saying.

Celesteela debuted in ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', where {{an|Sophocles}} found one while camping at [[Bamboo Hill]]. He and {{ashcl}} dug it out of the ground, and although the Ultra Guardians failed to catch it due to the fact that it was rooted down, it eventually flew off back into space. Unlike other Ultra Beasts, this Celesteela had been growing in [[Alola]] for more than 200 years.

''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'' saw the debut of both Blacephalon and Xurkitree. Ash and his classmates first encountered Blacephalon performing during a fireworks show, thinking that it was a part of the show. The next day, they learned that it was an Ultra Beast and set out as the Ultra Guardians to capture it. However, instead of Blacephalon, they encountered a different Ultra Beast, Xurkitree. After preventing Xurkitree from feeding on electricity from a power line, the Blacephalon from the night before appeared. The two Ultra Beasts ended up in a performance showdown, each trying to outperform the other with their moves. Thanks to a distraction from the Ultra Guardians, they were able to distract, weaken, and subsequently catch the two Ultra Beasts, allowing them to be returned home.

{{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Naganadel}} debuted in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', where it appeared inside the dream of [[Ash's Poipole]] located inside of an unknown [[Ultra Space]] nest location. It physically debuted in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', where it revealed that Ash's Poipole originally came to Alola to scout for a place for it and its hive to live.

Stakataka debuted in ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]'', where it arrived at the [[Pokémon School]] during midnight. After several unsuccessful attempts, it later moved to another location where it was mistaken for a pedestal for [[Viren]]'s statue. The statue being placed on top of it caused it to go berserk, necessitating intervention by the Ultra Guardians.

Guzzlord debuted in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', where it was shown to have destroyed an alternate version of [[Hau'oli City]], leaving behind the [[Ultra Ruin]].

Pheromosa debuted in [[SM114]], where it was stealing all the [[Z-Crystals]] from {{Pkmn|Trainers}} throughout the [[Alola]] region.

Kartana will debut in [[SM124]].

In the anime, [[Nebby]] was speculated to be an Ultra Beast by the [[Aether Foundation]] before its relationship to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}} was fully understood. Similarly, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}}, having not yet been identified as the "Blinding One" of Alolan myth, was given the codename UB Black (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black'').

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Ultra Beasts debuted in the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. They were first mentioned in [[PASM07]] by [[Gladion]], who, after losing to {{adv|Sun}} at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament, contemplated losing his chance to meet with the [[Guardian deities]] and instead decided to train elsewhere to prepare to confront the Ultra Beasts when they arrive.

In ''[[PASM09|True Identity and the Totem Pokémon of Brooklet Hill]]'', {{adv|Moon}} and [[Mallow]] found {{p|Tapu Lele}} battling a {{p|Xurkitree}} as it was emerging from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] above [[Lush Jungle]]. Moon attempted to capture the Xurkitree, but it managed to retreat back inside the Ultra Wormhole and escape. Later, the two chose to give it the codename "Lighting" to avoid having to describe its appearance every time when talking about it.

Later, [[Guzma]] was confronted by the [[Kiawe]], Mallow, Lana, [[Acerola]], [[Ilima]], and [[Hau]], who had traveled to [[Po Town]] to talk with the [[Team Skull]] boss. Guzma instead sent a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}} to attack the Captains' group. After the beasts proceeded to defeat the Captains' Pokémon, Guzma used a {{p|Cosmog}} to open more Ultra Wormholes, summoning a Xurkitree and a {{p|Nihilego}}. The Captains were rescued by [[Gladion]], who used his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} to battle the beasts, and managed to easily hold them back due to being created specifically to combat them.

Afterward, Nihilego captured Guzma and dragged him into an Ultra Wormhole with it. The other beasts escaped from Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of [[Ula'ula Island]]. {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} and [[Looker]] arrived shortly thereafter, and while Looker went off to investigate the Ultra Beasts that broke through the walls, Anabel assisted Sun and Moon in battling a {{p|Blacephalon}}. Anabel attempted to capture Blacephalon, only to discover that ordinary [[Poké Ball]]s do not work on Ultra Beasts. Before Blacephalon could retaliate with {{m|Mind Blown}}, {{p|Tapu Bulu}} blew it away. Afterward, while Sun, Moon, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, and [[Professor Burnet]] gave Tapu Bulu a [[Mirage Berry]], Anabel speculated that there was a certain person hiding in Alola, who was capable of creating Poké Balls that would be able to capture Ultra Beasts.

==In the TCG==
{{incomplete|section}}
Ultra Beasts were introduced to the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|Crimson Invasion}} expansion as a classification of {{TCG|Pokémon}} cards. Certain {{TCG|attack}}s, {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}}, {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, and {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s interact specifically with Ultra Beast cards. Unlike the [[core series]] of games, the TCG considers Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma to be Ultra Beasts. Every Ultra Beast card has an attack or Ability that affects or is affected by the player or opponent's {{TCG|Prize card}}s. In the case of an [[Pokémon-GX (TCG)|Ultra Beast GX card]], this is always its GX attack. Several of the Ultra Beast-related Trainer cards interact with Prize cards as well. This association with Prize cards may be a reference to the Ultra Beasts' [[Ability]] {{a|Beast Boost}} in the core series, as both Beast Boost and Prize cards center around knocking out the opponent's Pokémon.

Ultra Beast cards are distinguished by a red '''''Ultra Beast''''' label superimposed on the card art below the {{stat|HP}} and {{TCG|type}}. Ultra Beast GX cards have a red {{red GX}} graphic instead of the blue {{GX}} graphic depicted on other other Pokémon-GX cards. Additionally, the GX attack bar, effect text, Pokémon-GX rule box, and outlines for the {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} graphics are colored red rather than blue. This red motif may be a reference to the red aura surrounding wild Ultra Beasts in the core series of games.

==Trivia==
* The [[base stats]] of the Ultra Beasts, and the levels at which they learn moves (except level 1) are all {{wp|prime number}}s. They share this trait with {{p|Cosmog}} and its evolutions. The only exception is {{p|Naganadel}}, which has a {{stat|Speed}} stat of 121, which is a {{wp|prime power}}.
** All Ultra Beasts except Poipole and Naganadel have a base stat total of 570.
* The Ultra Beasts and the [[light trio]] (plus their pre-evolutions {{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}}) all share a unique sound frequency found within or after their [[Cry|cries]], approximately 1.250 seconds in duration. This may reflect their connection to and natural origin from Ultra Space.
* The only Ultra Beasts that are part of an evolutionary line are {{p|Poipole}} and Naganadel.
* Although the Ultra Beasts are not {{pkmn2|Legendary}},<ref>[https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/information/38d5a921-a2e3-4183-a1f1-42e0b5900972 Powerful Pokémon Clash in Rating Battle Season 13] ([http://pokemonglobalnews.tumblr.com/post/179836491622/powerful-pok%C3%A9mon-clash-in-rating-battle-season-13 mirror])</ref><ref>[https://imgur.com/a/Xl2DknQ Legendary Pokémon quiz] (The correct answer was "Pheromosa")</ref> they share some characteristics with numerous Legendary Pokémon: they all are {{cat|Genderless Pokémon|genderless}}, are in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} egg group, are scripted encounters, have special battle music, are guaranteed to have at least three {{IV}}s of 31, and have special [[Rotom Pokédex]] pages.
** If the player chooses to filter out people seeking {{pkmn2|Mythical}} or Legendary Pokémon on the [[Global Trade System]], then people seeking Ultra Beasts will not be displayed.
* {{p|Buzzwole}}, {{p|Xurkitree}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}}'s Ultra Sun Pokédex entries; and {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Kartana}}'s Ultra Moon Pokédex entries have exactly the same text. They are the only Pokémon with Pokédex entries identical to another Pokémon. The Pokédex entry reads as: "Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives."
* The Ultra Beasts are based on the idea of {{wp|invasive species}}, as stated by [[Shigeru Ohmori]] in an interview in ''[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]''.

Jsphmagana: /* Base stats comparison */

{{incomplete|2=Updating History section with USUM information, adding level-up movepool comparisons}}
[[File:Sun Moon Ultra Beasts artwork.png|thumb|370px|Artwork drawn by [[Hitoshi Ariga]] depicting the first Ultra Beasts to appear in the series]]
The '''Ultra Beasts''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラビースト''' ''Ultra Beast'') are a group of {{DL|Extraterrestrial Pokémon|extradimensional Pokémon}} originating from [[Ultra Space]]. They possess power that transcends humans' understanding of the world.

Ultra Beasts infrequently appear from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in [[Alola]]. These appearances are apparently as unexpected for the Ultra Beasts as for Alolans, which tends to make them combative. They are especially drawn to people who have passed through an [[Ultra Wormhole]], due to the residual wormhole energy on them, apparently expecting to find a wormhole they can use to return home.

There are currently eleven known Ultra Beasts:
* {{p|Nihilego}} (codenamed UB-01 Symbiont)
* {{p|Buzzwole}} (codenamed UB-02 Absorption){{sup/7|SUS}}
* {{p|Pheromosa}} (codenamed UB-02 Beauty){{sup/7|MUM}}
* {{p|Xurkitree}} (codenamed UB-03 Lighting)
* {{p|Celesteela}} (codenamed UB-04 Blaster){{sup/7|MUM}}
* {{p|Kartana}} (codenamed UB-04 Blade){{sup/7|SUS}}
* {{p|Guzzlord}} (codenamed UB-05 Glutton)
* {{p|Poipole}} (codenamed UB Adhesive){{sup/7|USUM}}
* {{p|Naganadel}} (codenamed UB Stinger){{sup/7|USUM}}
* {{p|Stakataka}} (codenamed UB Assembly){{sup/7|UM}}
* {{p|Blacephalon}} (codenamed UB Burst){{sup/7|US}}

All Ultra Beasts share the [[Ability]] {{a|Beast Boost}}.

When encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, the residual energy from Ultra Wormholes manifests as a red aura that boosts one of their [[Statistic|stats]] at the start of {{pkmn|battle}}, similar to a [[Totem Pokémon]]'s orange aura. [[Wicke]] theorizes that they store this energy in their bodies.

Most Poké Balls have difficulty recognizing Ultra Beasts as Pokémon due to their extradimensional origins, impairing their ability to effectively catch them. Only the [[Master Ball]] and {{ball|Beast}}s escape this impairment.

Although unconfirmed, [[Aether Foundation]] scientists hypothesized that {{p|Cosmog}} is also an Ultra Beast, due to its ability to create Ultra Wormholes. {{p|Necrozma}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry also states that it is "reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts", but when it was in the wild, the International Police reported that all Ultra Beasts it had detected had been caught, and Beast Balls are not effective at catching it. Additionally, [[Dulse]] refers to Necrozma as "a creature almost like an Ultra Beast" in Pokémon Ultra Sun. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Aether Foundation, mistaking {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} for an Ultra Beast, gives it the codename "UB Black".

Although an extremely rare event, legends in Alola tell of fearsome Pokémon appearing from Ultra Wormholes. The legends also tell that the [[guardian deities]] would fight fiercely against them.

Years prior to the events of {{g|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Mohn|Professor Mohn]] published a theory on Ultra Wormholes and papers describing {{p|Nihilego}}.

The Aether Foundation also conducted research on the Ultra Beasts. This included the development of the Beast Killer project to create a Pokémon—{{p|Type: Null|Type: Full}}—that could fight against Ultra Beasts. The Beast Killer project ended in failure, and the three known Type: Full were cryogenically frozen and their names changed to Type: Null. It also developed the {{ball|Beast}} to catch the Ultra Beasts.

The [[International Police]] have also tracked Ultra Beasts in the past and into the present under a secret division known as the UB Task Force. The UB Task Force is tasked with investigating the ecology of Ultra Beasts, protecting people from harm from them, and either safeguarding or destroying the Ultra Beasts. Ten years prior to the events of Sun and Moon, a three-person team composed of [[Looker]], [[Nanu]], and an unnamed {{DL|Ultra Wormhole|Fallers|Faller}} came to Alola to track down and destroy a Guzzlord; in the process, the Faller was killed. The International Police refer to each of the Ultra Beasts by code names.

The first reported sightings of Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Kartana, and Celesteela were after the incident at [[Aether Paradise]] where Lusamine forced Cosmog to create an Ultra Wormhole and used it to travel to Ultra Space.

The first reported sightings of Stakataka and Blacephalon were after the incident at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}} when {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}{{sup/7|UM}} opened many [[Ultra Wormhole]]s across Alola. The first reported sighting of Poipole was by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].

==In the games==
===Pokémon Sun and Moon===
During the main story, the player encounters {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]] during their first meeting with Aether President [[Lusamine]], when it emerges from a spontaneously appearing [[Ultra Wormhole]]. During the player's confrontation with Lusamine after she captures [[Nebby]], Lusamine uses Nebby's power to open Ultra Wormholes across the Alola region, bringing Ultra Beasts into the region; Nihilego is seen emerging from the portal near Lusamine, while {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|M}} is seen emerging from a portal over [[Melemele Island]] and battling {{p|Tapu Koko}}. The player also encounters several {{p|Nihilego}} in [[Ultra Space]] after arriving with {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} and [[Lillie]].

After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, some Ultra Beasts remain at large around Alola. The player receives [[Enigmatic Card|a card]] from a stranger directing them to visit the motel on [[Akala Island]]'s {{rt|8|Alola}}. When they enter the guest room, they will find [[Looker]] and [[Salon Maiden Anabel|Anabel]], who invite the player to join the International Police's UB Task Force and protect the Ultra Beasts currently loose in Alola. Upon accepting, the player begins a series of missions to capture the Ultra Beasts, spanning all four of Alola's islands, each time based out of the island's motel (or the restaurant on [[Poni Island]]). In some missions, there are multiple of the same species of Ultra Beast to be captured, and in some missions they may be found at either of two locations. If the player [[escape|flees]] from or defeats an Ultra Beast, it remains in the area and the player will still be able to find it again immediately (either at the same place or at the alternate location, if applicable). When the player is in an area where there are Ultra Beasts during a mission, the music changes from the area's normal score.

All [[Poké Ball]]s except [[Master Ball]]s and {{ball|Beast}}s have a [[catch rate]] multiplier of 0.1× against Ultra Beasts; the Beast Ball has a catch rate multiplier of 5× for Ultra Beasts. If a Beast Ball is used against any other type of Pokémon, its catch rate multiplier is 0.1×.

Unlike regular Pokémon, the [[Pokédex]] will not record Ultra Beasts as seen; it will only register them when they are caught. If an Ultra Beast is not in the Pokédex, its name will show as ??? in battle.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
During the story, the player encounters {{p|Poipole}} as the main Pokémon used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] member [[Dulse]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Soliera]]{{sup/7|UM}}. Like in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, {{p|Nihilego}} appears at [[Aether Paradise]] after meeting with [[Lusamine]]. During the player's confrontation with Dusk Mane{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings{{sup/7|UM}} {{p|Necrozma}}, it proceeds to open multiple [[Ultra Wormhole|Ultra Wormholes]] all across [[Alola]], unleashing Ultra Beasts into Alola. {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} appears on [[Mahalo Trail]], facing against [[Hala]], [[Hau]], and {{p|Tapu Koko}}. Additionally, [[Olivia]] encounters {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} at the [[Ruins of Life]], [[Nanu]] encounters {{p|Guzzlord}} at the [[Ruins of Abundance]], and [[Hapu]] encounters [[Xurkitree]] at the [[Ruins of Hope]].

The first seven Ultra Beasts can be reached in white [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in the [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. {{p|Nihilego}} can be found in [[Ultra Deep Sea]], {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Jungle]], {{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Desert]], {{p|Xurkitree}} in [[Ultra Plant]], {{p|Celesteela}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Crater]], {{p|Kartana}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Forest]], and {{p|Guzzlord}} in [[Ultra Ruin]]. They can be caught once per visit. After defeating {{p|Necrozma}} at [[Megalo Tower]], the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] offers {{p|Poipole}} to the player, and after the player becomes the Champion, the player can catch two {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} at [[Poni Grove]].

Unlike regular Pokémon, the [[Pokédex]] will not normally record Ultra Beasts as seen; it will only register them when they are caught. If a wild Ultra Beast is not in the Pokédex, its name will show as ??? in battle. However, Ultra Beasts used by other Trainers will display their names in battle and register in the Pokédex; specifically, this occurs for the Poipole used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] and the Kartana used by the {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}{{sup/7|US}}. Additionally, the wild Blacephalon{{sup/7|US}}/Stakataka{{sup/7|UM}} encountered in [[Poni Grove]] do display their names and are registered in the Pokédex as seen even before the player catches them.

==In the anime==
Nihilego debuted in a flashback in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', where {{an|Gladion}} revealed to {{Ash}} that {{an|Lillie}} was once attacked by one when she was younger, resulting in her present-day fear of touching Pokémon. It appeared again in another flashback in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''.

In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', Faba managed to summon {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego|another Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. [[Lusamine]], Gladion, and Ash briefly battled the Ultra Beast before it took Lusamine into the Ultra Wormhole and disappeared. They were given the proper name Nihilego in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

Multiple Nihilego appeared in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' in [[Ultra Deep Sea]].

Nihilego appeared again in a flashback, and {{AP|Poipole}} debuted in ''The Professors' New Adventure!''. It would eventually be caught by Ash in ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]''.

Buzzwole debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', where it wreaked havoc throughout [[Melemele Island]] until the [[Ultra Guardians]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a {{ball|Beast}} and released it back into [[Ultra Space]]. In this episode, it is also revealed that despite being Pokémon, {{MTR}} cannot understand what Ultra Beasts are saying.

Celesteela debuted in ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', where {{an|Sophocles}} found one while camping at [[Bamboo Hill]]. He and {{ashcl}} dug it out of the ground, and although the Ultra Guardians failed to catch it due to the fact that it was rooted down, it eventually flew off back into space. Unlike other Ultra Beasts, this Celesteela had been growing in [[Alola]] for more than 200 years.

''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'' saw the debut of both Blacephalon and Xurkitree. Ash and his classmates first encountered Blacephalon performing during a fireworks show, thinking that it was a part of the show. The next day, they learned that it was an Ultra Beast and set out as the Ultra Guardians to capture it. However, instead of Blacephalon, they encountered a different Ultra Beast, Xurkitree. After preventing Xurkitree from feeding on electricity from a power line, the Blacephalon from the night before appeared. The two Ultra Beasts ended up in a performance showdown, each trying to outperform the other with their moves. Thanks to a distraction from the Ultra Guardians, they were able to distract, weaken, and subsequently catch the two Ultra Beasts, allowing them to be returned home.

{{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Naganadel}} debuted in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', where it appeared inside the dream of [[Ash's Poipole]] located inside of an unknown [[Ultra Space]] nest location. It physically debuted in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', where it revealed that Ash's Poipole originally came to Alola to scout for a place for it and its hive to live.

Stakataka debuted in ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]'', where it arrived at the [[Pokémon School]] during midnight. After several unsuccessful attempts, it later moved to another location where it was mistaken for a pedestal for [[Viren]]'s statue. The statue being placed on top of it caused it to go berserk, necessitating intervention by the Ultra Guardians.

Guzzlord debuted in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', where it was shown to have destroyed an alternate version of [[Hau'oli City]], leaving behind the [[Ultra Ruin]].

Pheromosa debuted in [[SM114]], where it was stealing all the [[Z-Crystals]] from {{Pkmn|Trainers}} throughout the [[Alola]] region.

Kartana will debut in [[SM124]].

In the anime, [[Nebby]] was speculated to be an Ultra Beast by the [[Aether Foundation]] before its relationship to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}} was fully understood. Similarly, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}}, having not yet been identified as the "Blinding One" of Alolan myth, was given the codename UB Black (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black'').

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Ultra Beasts debuted in the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. They were first mentioned in [[PASM07]] by [[Gladion]], who, after losing to {{adv|Sun}} at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament, contemplated losing his chance to meet with the [[Guardian deities]] and instead decided to train elsewhere to prepare to confront the Ultra Beasts when they arrive.

In ''[[PASM09|True Identity and the Totem Pokémon of Brooklet Hill]]'', {{adv|Moon}} and [[Mallow]] found {{p|Tapu Lele}} battling a {{p|Xurkitree}} as it was emerging from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] above [[Lush Jungle]]. Moon attempted to capture the Xurkitree, but it managed to retreat back inside the Ultra Wormhole and escape. Later, the two chose to give it the codename "Lighting" to avoid having to describe its appearance every time when talking about it.

Later, [[Guzma]] was confronted by the [[Kiawe]], Mallow, Lana, [[Acerola]], [[Ilima]], and [[Hau]], who had traveled to [[Po Town]] to talk with the [[Team Skull]] boss. Guzma instead sent a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}} to attack the Captains' group. After the beasts proceeded to defeat the Captains' Pokémon, Guzma used a {{p|Cosmog}} to open more Ultra Wormholes, summoning a Xurkitree and a {{p|Nihilego}}. The Captains were rescued by [[Gladion]], who used his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} to battle the beasts, and managed to easily hold them back due to being created specifically to combat them.

Afterward, Nihilego captured Guzma and dragged him into an Ultra Wormhole with it. The other beasts escaped from Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of [[Ula'ula Island]]. {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} and [[Looker]] arrived shortly thereafter, and while Looker went off to investigate the Ultra Beasts that broke through the walls, Anabel assisted Sun and Moon in battling a {{p|Blacephalon}}. Anabel attempted to capture Blacephalon, only to discover that ordinary [[Poké Ball]]s do not work on Ultra Beasts. Before Blacephalon could retaliate with {{m|Mind Blown}}, {{p|Tapu Bulu}} blew it away. Afterward, while Sun, Moon, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, and [[Professor Burnet]] gave Tapu Bulu a [[Mirage Berry]], Anabel speculated that there was a certain person hiding in Alola, who was capable of creating Poké Balls that would be able to capture Ultra Beasts.

==In the TCG==
{{incomplete|section}}
Ultra Beasts were introduced to the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|Crimson Invasion}} expansion as a classification of {{TCG|Pokémon}} cards. Certain {{TCG|attack}}s, {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}}, {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, and {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s interact specifically with Ultra Beast cards. Unlike the [[core series]] of games, the TCG considers Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma to be Ultra Beasts. Every Ultra Beast card has an attack or Ability that affects or is affected by the player or opponent's {{TCG|Prize card}}s. In the case of an [[Pokémon-GX (TCG)|Ultra Beast GX card]], this is always its GX attack. Several of the Ultra Beast-related Trainer cards interact with Prize cards as well. This association with Prize cards may be a reference to the Ultra Beasts' [[Ability]] {{a|Beast Boost}} in the core series, as both Beast Boost and Prize cards center around knocking out the opponent's Pokémon.

Ultra Beast cards are distinguished by a red '''''Ultra Beast''''' label superimposed on the card art below the {{stat|HP}} and {{TCG|type}}. Ultra Beast GX cards have a red {{red GX}} graphic instead of the blue {{GX}} graphic depicted on other other Pokémon-GX cards. Additionally, the GX attack bar, effect text, Pokémon-GX rule box, and outlines for the {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} graphics are colored red rather than blue. This red motif may be a reference to the red aura surrounding wild Ultra Beasts in the core series of games.

==Trivia==
* The [[base stats]] of the Ultra Beasts, and the levels at which they learn moves (except level 1) are all {{wp|prime number}}s. They share this trait with {{p|Cosmog}} and its evolutions. The only exception is {{p|Naganadel}}, which has a {{stat|Speed}} stat of 121, which is a {{wp|prime power}}.
** All Ultra Beasts except Poipole and Naganadel have a base stat total of 570.
* The Ultra Beasts and the [[light trio]] (plus their pre-evolutions {{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}}) all share a unique sound frequency found within or after their [[Cry|cries]], approximately 1.250 seconds in duration. This may reflect their connection to and natural origin from Ultra Space.
* The only Ultra Beasts that are part of an evolutionary line are {{p|Poipole}} and Naganadel.
* Although the Ultra Beasts are not {{pkmn2|Legendary}},<ref>[https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/information/38d5a921-a2e3-4183-a1f1-42e0b5900972 Powerful Pokémon Clash in Rating Battle Season 13] ([http://pokemonglobalnews.tumblr.com/post/179836491622/powerful-pok%C3%A9mon-clash-in-rating-battle-season-13 mirror])</ref><ref>[https://imgur.com/a/Xl2DknQ Legendary Pokémon quiz] (The correct answer was "Pheromosa")</ref> they share some characteristics with numerous Legendary Pokémon: they all are {{cat|Genderless Pokémon|genderless}}, are in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} egg group, are scripted encounters, have special battle music, are guaranteed to have at least three {{IV}}s of 31, and have special [[Rotom Pokédex]] pages.
** If the player chooses to filter out people seeking {{pkmn2|Mythical}} or Legendary Pokémon on the [[Global Trade System]], then people seeking Ultra Beasts will not be displayed.

They are the only Pokémon with Pokédex entries identical to another Pokémon. The Pokédex entry reads as: "Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives."
* The Ultra Beasts are based on the idea of {{wp|invasive species}}, as stated by [[Shigeru Ohmori]] in an interview in ''[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]''.

[[File:Sun Moon Ultra Beasts artwork.png|thumb|370px|Artwork drawn by [[Hitoshi Ariga]] depicting the first Ultra Beasts to appear in the series]]
The '''Ultra Beasts''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラビースト''' ''Ultra Beast'') are a group of {{DL|Extraterrestrial Pokémon|extradimensional Pokémon}} originating from [[Ultra Space]]. They possess power that transcends humans' understanding of the world.

Ultra Beasts infrequently appear from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in [[Alola]]. These appearances are apparently as unexpected for the Ultra Beasts as for Alolans, which tends to make them combative. They are especially drawn to people who have passed through an [[Ultra Wormhole]], due to the residual wormhole energy on them, apparently expecting to find a wormhole they can use to return home.

There are currently eleven known Ultra Beasts:
* {{p|Nihilego}} (codenamed UB-01 Symbiont)
* {{p|Buzzwole}} (codenamed UB-02 Absorption){{sup/7|SUS}}
* {{p|Pheromosa}} (codenamed UB-02 Beauty){{sup/7|MUM}}
* {{p|Xurkitree}} (codenamed UB-03 Lighting)
* {{p|Celesteela}} (codenamed UB-04 Blaster){{sup/7|MUM}}
* {{p|Kartana}} (codenamed UB-04 Blade){{sup/7|SUS}}
* {{p|Guzzlord}} (codenamed UB-05 Glutton)
* {{p|Poipole}} (codenamed UB Adhesive){{sup/7|USUM}}
* {{p|Naganadel}} (codenamed UB Stinger){{sup/7|USUM}}
* {{p|Stakataka}} (codenamed UB Assembly){{sup/7|UM}}
* {{p|Blacephalon}} (codenamed UB Burst){{sup/7|US}}

All Ultra Beasts share the [[Ability]] {{a|Beast Boost}}.

When encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, the residual energy from Ultra Wormholes manifests as a red aura that boosts one of their [[Statistic|stats]] at the start of {{pkmn|battle}}, similar to a [[Totem Pokémon]]'s orange aura. [[Wicke]] theorizes that they store this energy in their bodies.

Most Poké Balls have difficulty recognizing Ultra Beasts as Pokémon due to their extradimensional origins, impairing their ability to effectively catch them. Only the [[Master Ball]] and {{ball|Beast}}s escape this impairment.

Although unconfirmed, [[Aether Foundation]] scientists hypothesized that {{p|Cosmog}} is also an Ultra Beast, due to its ability to create Ultra Wormholes. {{p|Necrozma}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry also states that it is "reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts", but when it was in the wild, the International Police reported that all Ultra Beasts it had detected had been caught, and Beast Balls are not effective at catching it. Additionally, [[Dulse]] refers to Necrozma as "a creature almost like an Ultra Beast" in Pokémon Ultra Sun. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Aether Foundation, mistaking {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} for an Ultra Beast, gives it the codename "UB Black".

==History==
Although an extremely rare event, legends in Alola tell of fearsome Pokémon appearing from Ultra Wormholes. The legends also tell that the [[guardian deities]] would fight fiercely against them.

Years prior to the events of {{g|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Mohn|Professor Mohn]] published a theory on Ultra Wormholes and papers describing {{p|Nihilego}}.

The Aether Foundation also conducted research on the Ultra Beasts. This included the development of the Beast Killer project to create a Pokémon—{{p|Type: Null|Type: Full}}—that could fight against Ultra Beasts. The Beast Killer project ended in failure, and the three known Type: Full were cryogenically frozen and their names changed to Type: Null. It also developed the {{ball|Beast}} to catch the Ultra Beasts.

The [[International Police]] have also tracked Ultra Beasts in the past and into the present under a secret division known as the UB Task Force. The UB Task Force is tasked with investigating the ecology of Ultra Beasts, protecting people from harm from them, and either safeguarding or destroying the Ultra Beasts. Ten years prior to the events of Sun and Moon, a three-person team composed of [[Looker]], [[Nanu]], and an unnamed {{DL|Ultra Wormhole|Fallers|Faller}} came to Alola to track down and destroy a Guzzlord; in the process, the Faller was killed. The International Police refer to each of the Ultra Beasts by code names.

The first reported sightings of Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Kartana, and Celesteela were after the incident at [[Aether Paradise]] where Lusamine forced Cosmog to create an Ultra Wormhole and used it to travel to Ultra Space.

The first reported sightings of Stakataka and Blacephalon were after the incident at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}} when {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}{{sup/7|UM}} opened many [[Ultra Wormhole]]s across Alola. The first reported sighting of Poipole was by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].

==In the games==
===Pokémon Sun and Moon===
During the main story, the player encounters {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]] during their first meeting with Aether President [[Lusamine]], when it emerges from a spontaneously appearing [[Ultra Wormhole]]. During the player's confrontation with Lusamine after she captures [[Nebby]], Lusamine uses Nebby's power to open Ultra Wormholes across the Alola region, bringing Ultra Beasts into the region; Nihilego is seen emerging from the portal near Lusamine, while {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|M}} is seen emerging from a portal over [[Melemele Island]] and battling {{p|Tapu Koko}}. The player also encounters several {{p|Nihilego}} in [[Ultra Space]] after arriving with {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} and [[Lillie]].

After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, some Ultra Beasts remain at large around Alola. The player receives [[Enigmatic Card|a card]] from a stranger directing them to visit the motel on [[Akala Island]]'s {{rt|8|Alola}}. When they enter the guest room, they will find [[Looker]] and [[Salon Maiden Anabel|Anabel]], who invite the player to join the International Police's UB Task Force and protect the Ultra Beasts currently loose in Alola. Upon accepting, the player begins a series of missions to capture the Ultra Beasts, spanning all four of Alola's islands, each time based out of the island's motel (or the restaurant on [[Poni Island]]). In some missions, there are multiple of the same species of Ultra Beast to be captured, and in some missions they may be found at either of two locations. If the player [[escape|flees]] from or defeats an Ultra Beast, it remains in the area and the player will still be able to find it again immediately (either at the same place or at the alternate location, if applicable). When the player is in an area where there are Ultra Beasts during a mission, the music changes from the area's normal score.

All [[Poké Ball]]s except [[Master Ball]]s and {{ball|Beast}}s have a [[catch rate]] multiplier of 0.1× against Ultra Beasts; the Beast Ball has a catch rate multiplier of 5× for Ultra Beasts. If a Beast Ball is used against any other type of Pokémon, its catch rate multiplier is 0.1×.

Unlike regular Pokémon, the [[Pokédex]] will not record Ultra Beasts as seen; it will only register them when they are caught. If an Ultra Beast is not in the Pokédex, its name will show as ??? in battle.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
During the story, the player encounters {{p|Poipole}} as the main Pokémon used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] member [[Dulse]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Soliera]]{{sup/7|UM}}. Like in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, {{p|Nihilego}} appears at [[Aether Paradise]] after meeting with [[Lusamine]]. During the player's confrontation with Dusk Mane{{sup/7|US}}/Dawn Wings{{sup/7|UM}} {{p|Necrozma}}, it proceeds to open multiple [[Ultra Wormhole|Ultra Wormholes]] all across [[Alola]], unleashing Ultra Beasts into Alola. {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} appears on [[Mahalo Trail]], facing against [[Hala]], [[Hau]], and {{p|Tapu Koko}}. Additionally, [[Olivia]] encounters {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} at the [[Ruins of Life]], [[Nanu]] encounters {{p|Guzzlord}} at the [[Ruins of Abundance]], and [[Hapu]] encounters [[Xurkitree]] at the [[Ruins of Hope]].

The first seven Ultra Beasts can be reached in white [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in the [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. {{p|Nihilego}} can be found in [[Ultra Deep Sea]], {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Jungle]], {{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Desert]], {{p|Xurkitree}} in [[Ultra Plant]], {{p|Celesteela}}{{sup/7|UM}} in [[Ultra Crater]], {{p|Kartana}}{{sup/7|US}} in [[Ultra Forest]], and {{p|Guzzlord}} in [[Ultra Ruin]]. They can be caught once per visit. After defeating {{p|Necrozma}} at [[Megalo Tower]], the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] offers {{p|Poipole}} to the player, and after the player becomes the Champion, the player can catch two {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} at [[Poni Grove]].

Unlike regular Pokémon, the [[Pokédex]] will not normally record Ultra Beasts as seen; it will only register them when they are caught. If a wild Ultra Beast is not in the Pokédex, its name will show as ??? in battle. However, Ultra Beasts used by other Trainers will display their names in battle and register in the Pokédex; specifically, this occurs for the Poipole used by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] and the Kartana used by the {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}{{sup/7|US}}. Additionally, the wild Blacephalon{{sup/7|US}}/Stakataka{{sup/7|UM}} encountered in [[Poni Grove]] do display their names and are registered in the Pokédex as seen even before the player catches them.

It appeared again in another flashback in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''.

In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', Faba managed to summon {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego|another Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. [[Lusamine]], Gladion, and Ash briefly battled the Ultra Beast before it took Lusamine into the Ultra Wormhole and disappeared. They were given the proper name Nihilego in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

Multiple Nihilego appeared in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' in [[Ultra Deep Sea]].

Nihilego appeared again in a flashback, and {{AP|Poipole}} debuted in ''The Professors' New Adventure!''. It would eventually be caught by Ash in ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]''.

Buzzwole debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', where it wreaked havoc throughout [[Melemele Island]] until the [[Ultra Guardians]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a {{ball|Beast}} and released it back into [[Ultra Space]]. In this episode, it is also revealed that despite being Pokémon, {{MTR}} cannot understand what Ultra Beasts are saying.

Celesteela debuted in ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', where {{an|Sophocles}} found one while camping at [[Bamboo Hill]]. He and {{ashcl}} dug it out of the ground, and although the Ultra Guardians failed to catch it due to the fact that it was rooted down, it eventually flew off back into space. Unlike other Ultra Beasts, this Celesteela had been growing in [[Alola]] for more than 200 years.

''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'' saw the debut of both Blacephalon and Xurkitree. Ash and his classmates first encountered Blacephalon performing during a fireworks show, thinking that it was a part of the show. The next day, they learned that it was an Ultra Beast and set out as the Ultra Guardians to capture it. However, instead of Blacephalon, they encountered a different Ultra Beast, Xurkitree. After preventing Xurkitree from feeding on electricity from a power line, the Blacephalon from the night before appeared. The two Ultra Beasts ended up in a performance showdown, each trying to outperform the other with their moves. Thanks to a distraction from the Ultra Guardians, they were able to distract, weaken, and subsequently catch the two Ultra Beasts, allowing them to be returned home.

{{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Naganadel}} debuted in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', where it appeared inside the dream of [[Ash's Poipole]] located inside of an unknown [[Ultra Space]] nest location. It physically debuted in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', where it revealed that Ash's Poipole originally came to Alola to scout for a place for it and its hive to live.

Stakataka debuted in ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]'', where it arrived at the [[Pokémon School]] during midnight. After several unsuccessful attempts, it later moved to another location where it was mistaken for a pedestal for [[Viren]]'s statue. The statue being placed on top of it caused it to go berserk, necessitating intervention by the Ultra Guardians.

Guzzlord debuted in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', where it was shown to have destroyed an alternate version of [[Hau'oli City]], leaving behind the [[Ultra Ruin]].

Pheromosa debuted in [[SM114]], where it was stealing all the [[Z-Crystals]] from {{Pkmn|Trainers}} throughout the [[Alola]] region.

Kartana will debut in [[SM124]].

In the anime, [[Nebby]] was speculated to be an Ultra Beast by the [[Aether Foundation]] before its relationship to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}} was fully understood. Similarly, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}}, having not yet been identified as the "Blinding One" of Alolan myth, was given the codename UB Black (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black'').

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Ultra Beasts debuted in the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. They were first mentioned in [[PASM07]] by [[Gladion]], who, after losing to {{adv|Sun}} at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament, contemplated losing his chance to meet with the [[Guardian deities]] and instead decided to train elsewhere to prepare to confront the Ultra Beasts when they arrive.

In ''[[PASM09|True Identity and the Totem Pokémon of Brooklet Hill]]'', {{adv|Moon}} and [[Mallow]] found {{p|Tapu Lele}} battling a {{p|Xurkitree}} as it was emerging from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] above [[Lush Jungle]]. Moon attempted to capture the Xurkitree, but it managed to retreat back inside the Ultra Wormhole and escape. Later, the two chose to give it the codename "Lighting" to avoid having to describe its appearance every time when talking about it.

Later, [[Guzma]] was confronted by the [[Kiawe]], Mallow, Lana, [[Acerola]], [[Ilima]], and [[Hau]], who had traveled to [[Po Town]] to talk with the [[Team Skull]] boss. Guzma instead sent a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}} to attack the Captains' group. After the beasts proceeded to defeat the Captains' Pokémon, Guzma used a {{p|Cosmog}} to open more Ultra Wormholes, summoning a Xurkitree and a {{p|Nihilego}}. The Captains were rescued by [[Gladion]], who used his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} to battle the beasts, and managed to easily hold them back due to being created specifically to combat them.

Afterward, Nihilego captured Guzma and dragged him into an Ultra Wormhole with it. The other beasts escaped from Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of [[Ula'ula Island]]. {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} and [[Looker]] arrived shortly thereafter, and while Looker went off to investigate the Ultra Beasts that broke through the walls, Anabel assisted Sun and Moon in battling a {{p|Blacephalon}}. Anabel attempted to capture Blacephalon, only to discover that ordinary [[Poké Ball]]s do not work on Ultra Beasts. Before Blacephalon could retaliate with {{m|Mind Blown}}, {{p|Tapu Bulu}} blew it away. Afterward, while Sun, Moon, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, and [[Professor Burnet]] gave Tapu Bulu a [[Mirage Berry]], Anabel speculated that there was a certain person hiding in Alola, who was capable of creating Poké Balls that would be able to capture Ultra Beasts.

==In the TCG==
{{incomplete|section}}
Ultra Beasts were introduced to the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|Crimson Invasion}} expansion as a classification of {{TCG|Pokémon}} cards. Certain {{TCG|attack}}s, {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}}, {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, and {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s interact specifically with Ultra Beast cards. Unlike the [[core series]] of games, the TCG considers Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma to be Ultra Beasts. Every Ultra Beast card has an attack or Ability that affects or is affected by the player or opponent's {{TCG|Prize card}}s. In the case of an [[Pokémon-GX (TCG)|Ultra Beast GX card]], this is always its GX attack. Several of the Ultra Beast-related Trainer cards interact with Prize cards as well. This association with Prize cards may be a reference to the Ultra Beasts' [[Ability]] {{a|Beast Boost}} in the core series, as both Beast Boost and Prize cards center around knocking out the opponent's Pokémon.

Ultra Beast cards are distinguished by a red '''''Ultra Beast''''' label superimposed on the card art below the {{stat|HP}} and {{TCG|type}}. Ultra Beast GX cards have a red {{red GX}} graphic instead of the blue {{GX}} graphic depicted on other other Pokémon-GX cards. Additionally, the GX attack bar, effect text, Pokémon-GX rule box, and outlines for the {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} graphics are colored red rather than blue. This red motif may be a reference to the red aura surrounding wild Ultra Beasts in the core series of games.

==Trivia==
* The [[base stats]] of the Ultra Beasts, and the levels at which they learn moves (except level 1) are all {{wp|prime number}}s. They share this trait with {{p|Cosmog}} and its evolutions. The only exception is {{p|Naganadel}}, which has a {{stat|Speed}} stat of 121, which is a {{wp|prime power}}.
** All Ultra Beasts except Poipole and Naganadel have a base stat total of 570.
* The Ultra Beasts and the [[light trio]] (plus their pre-evolutions {{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}}) all share a unique sound frequency found within or after their [[Cry|cries]], approximately 1.250 seconds in duration. This may reflect their connection to and natural origin from Ultra Space.
* The only Ultra Beasts that are part of an evolutionary line are {{p|Poipole}} and Naganadel.
* Although the Ultra Beasts are not {{pkmn2|Legendary}},<ref>[https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/information/38d5a921-a2e3-4183-a1f1-42e0b5900972 Powerful Pokémon Clash in Rating Battle Season 13] ([http://pokemonglobalnews.tumblr.com/post/179836491622/powerful-pok%C3%A9mon-clash-in-rating-battle-season-13 mirror])</ref><ref>[https://imgur.com/a/Xl2DknQ Legendary Pokémon quiz] (The correct answer was "Pheromosa")</ref> they share some characteristics with numerous Legendary Pokémon: they all are {{cat|Genderless Pokémon|genderless}}, are in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} egg group, are scripted encounters, have special battle music, are guaranteed to have at least three {{IV}}s of 31, and have special [[Rotom Pokédex]] pages.
** If the player chooses to filter out people seeking {{pkmn2|Mythical}} or Legendary Pokémon on the [[Global Trade System]], then people seeking Ultra Beasts will not be displayed.
* {{p|Buzzwole}}, {{p|Xurkitree}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}}'s Ultra Sun Pokédex entries; and {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Kartana}}'s Ultra Moon Pokédex entries have exactly the same text. They are the only Pokémon with Pokédex entries identical to another Pokémon. The Pokédex entry reads as: "Although it's alien to this world and a danger here, it's apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives."
* The Ultra Beasts are based on the idea of {{wp|invasive species}}, as stated by [[Shigeru Ohmori]] in an interview in ''[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]''.

An '''evolution-inducing held item''' is an item which makes the Pokémon holding it [[Evolution|evolve]] when a certain event happens, such as if the Pokémon is [[trade]]d or leveled up. The item disappears once the Pokémon has evolved. For evolution-inducing items that are not meant to be held, see the page on [[evolutionary stone]]s.

{{main|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items}}
The Mystery Dungeon series introduced some new evolutionary items as the series does not include elements such as day and night, and trading.

==In the anime==
Many evolution items have appeared in the anime. The first one to appear was the King's Rock in ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', which {{Ash}} won in the [[Sumo Conference]] and {{an|Misty}}'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} later used to evolve itself into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''. Another King's Rock appeared in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'', which was found on a rock after the water level in the local river dropped dramatically; [[Alice Telesu|Alice]]'s {{p|Slowpoke}} used it to evolve into a {{p|Slowking}}.

A Deep Sea Scale and Deep Sea Tooth appeared in ''[[AG095|The Evolutionary War]]'' where the people in the [[A-B-C Islands]] were having an argument over which Pokémon was best, {{p|Gorebyss}} or {{p|Huntail}}.

A King's Rock, two Deep Sea Teeth, and two Deep Sea Scales appeared in ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'' as some of the items {{DL|Kimmy Shoney|Tokin}} {{a|Pickup|picked up}}.

In ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'', {{an|Brock}} carved and made an Oval Stone for his newly born {{p|Happiny}}, which later helped her evolve into a {{TP|Brock|Chansey}} in ''[[DP190|The Brockster is In]]''.

In ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]'', Ash got a Razor Fang from [[Gary Oak]] that he used to evolve his {{p|Gligar}} into a {{AP|Gliscor}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS108|Quilava Quandary]]'', {{adv|Gold}} was given a King's Rock by the [[Day-Care Couple]] after training with them, which he gave to his {{p|Poliwag}} to hold. In ''[[PS109|Ampharos Amore]]'', Gold's newly evolved {{p|Poliwhirl}} and {{adv|Silver}}'s {{p|Seadra}} evolved into a [[Polibo|Politoed]] and a {{p|Kingdra}}, respectively, while holding their respective evolutionary items, King's Rock and Dragon Scale.

In ''[[PS394|Yikes, Yanmega! II]]'', {{adv|Diamond|Dia}}'s {{p|Lickilicky}}, Kit, used a Protector to protect itself from [[Mars]]'s {{p|Yanmega}} swarm's soundwaves. [[Roseanne]] later revealed that the Protector was one of the items she used in her research of Pokémon Evolution, the other seen items being a Reaper Cloth, Dragon Scale, Magmarizer, and King's Rock.

In ''[[PS445|Dealing With A Koffing Fit]]'', Silver's {{p|Sneasel}} evolved into a {{TP|Silver|Weavile}} due to having gained experience while holding a Razor Claw, which had been given to Silver by {{adv|Green}}.

In ''[[PS449|Raising the Stakes with Rhyperior]]'', it was revealed that Silver had given {{adv|Blue}} a Protector to be held by his {{p|Rhydon}}, allowing it to evolve into a {{TP|Blue|Rhyperior}} when it was traded between the two Trainers. Afterwards, Blue had let Silver keep Rhyperior as a replacement for his lost {{p|Ursaring}}.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Prism Scale was incorrectly categorized in the [[Bag]] as a general item and not as an evolution-inducing held item. This was later fixed in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, but starting from {{g|X and Y}} it is now again incorrectly categorised, this time as a valuable item.
* Along with being listed amongst the [[evolutionary stone]]s, the Oval Stone has the "Use" option when selected in the Bag, but if the {{player}} tries to use it, it won't say "Able" under any Pokémon.
** This makes it the only evolutionary item with "Stone" in its English name which is not an evolutionary stone.

Feather

Jsphmagana: /* Types of wings */

{{incomplete|2=Missing manga section}}
{{search|EV-raising items introduced in [[Generation V]]|Rainbow and Silver Wings|Silver and Rainbow Wings}} ''For the item related to {{p|Cresselia}}, see [[Lunar Wing]]. For the character in [[EP223|Throwing in the Noctowl]], see [[Wings Alexander]].''
-----
A '''wing''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ハネ|hane}}''' ''feather'') is a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. They are used to boost the [[stats]] of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pokémon. Although they are feathers, they are called wings in English-language games, due to character limitations.

==Effect==
The first six wings can be considered a less powerful version of [[vitamin]]s. Unlike vitamins, however, they are not subject to the 100 EV cap. Like vitamins, they are consumed after use. Each one gives a Pokémon one {{EV|effort value}} (EV) in a particular stat.

There is a seventh wing, the Pretty Wing, which is similar in appearance and can be found in the same locations as the others; however, it serves [[Valuable item|no purpose other than to be sold]].

==Acquisition==
Wings can only be found in {{DL|Phenomenon|Flying Pokémon's shadow}}s on the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] and [[Marvelous Bridge]], or as rewards for earning low ranks in the [[Battle Institute]].

They are also possible rewards received from clearing areas in [[Black Tower]]/[[White Treehollow]] as well as finishing {{DL|Super Training|Super Secret Training}} regimens in Super Training.

Some NPCs will give out Health or Swift Wings to players with a Pokémon with sufficiently high {{stat|Speed}} or {{stat|Attack}}, respectively.

Jsphmagana: /* Items that induce evolution upon trading */

{{Unknown name}}
[[File:Gligar Razor Fang.png|thumb|200px|Ash's {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} reaching for the Razor Fang Ash tossed]]
An '''evolution-inducing held item''' is an item which makes the Pokémon holding it [[Evolution|evolve]] when a certain event happens, such as if the Pokémon is [[trade]]d or leveled up. The item disappears once the Pokémon has evolved. For evolution-inducing items that are not meant to be held, see the page on [[evolutionary stone]]s.

{{main|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items}}
The Mystery Dungeon series introduced some new evolutionary items as the series does not include elements such as day and night, and trading.

==In the anime==
Many evolution items have appeared in the anime. The first one to appear was the King's Rock in ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', which {{Ash}} won in the [[Sumo Conference]] and {{an|Misty}}'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} later used to evolve itself into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''. Another King's Rock appeared in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'', which was found on a rock after the water level in the local river dropped dramatically; [[Alice Telesu|Alice]]'s {{p|Slowpoke}} used it to evolve into a {{p|Slowking}}.

A Deep Sea Scale and Deep Sea Tooth appeared in ''[[AG095|The Evolutionary War]]'' where the people in the [[A-B-C Islands]] were having an argument over which Pokémon was best, {{p|Gorebyss}} or {{p|Huntail}}.

A King's Rock, two Deep Sea Teeth, and two Deep Sea Scales appeared in ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'' as some of the items {{DL|Kimmy Shoney|Tokin}} {{a|Pickup|picked up}}.

In ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'', {{an|Brock}} carved and made an Oval Stone for his newly born {{p|Happiny}}, which later helped her evolve into a {{TP|Brock|Chansey}} in ''[[DP190|The Brockster is In]]''.

In ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]'', Ash got a Razor Fang from [[Gary Oak]] that he used to evolve his {{p|Gligar}} into a {{AP|Gliscor}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS108|Quilava Quandary]]'', {{adv|Gold}} was given a King's Rock by the [[Day-Care Couple]] after training with them, which he gave to his {{p|Poliwag}} to hold. In ''[[PS109|Ampharos Amore]]'', Gold's newly evolved {{p|Poliwhirl}} and {{adv|Silver}}'s {{p|Seadra}} evolved into a [[Polibo|Politoed]] and a {{p|Kingdra}}, respectively, while holding their respective evolutionary items, King's Rock and Dragon Scale.

In ''[[PS394|Yikes, Yanmega! II]]'', {{adv|Diamond|Dia}}'s {{p|Lickilicky}}, Kit, used a Protector to protect itself from [[Mars]]'s {{p|Yanmega}} swarm's soundwaves. [[Roseanne]] later revealed that the Protector was one of the items she used in her research of Pokémon Evolution, the other seen items being a Reaper Cloth, Dragon Scale, Magmarizer, and King's Rock.

In ''[[PS445|Dealing With A Koffing Fit]]'', Silver's {{p|Sneasel}} evolved into a {{TP|Silver|Weavile}} due to having gained experience while holding a Razor Claw, which had been given to Silver by {{adv|Green}}.

In ''[[PS449|Raising the Stakes with Rhyperior]]'', it was revealed that Silver had given {{adv|Blue}} a Protector to be held by his {{p|Rhydon}}, allowing it to evolve into a {{TP|Blue|Rhyperior}} when it was traded between the two Trainers. Afterwards, Blue had let Silver keep Rhyperior as a replacement for his lost {{p|Ursaring}}.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Prism Scale was incorrectly categorized in the [[Bag]] as a general item and not as an evolution-inducing held item. This was later fixed in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, but starting from {{g|X and Y}} it is now again incorrectly categorised, this time as a valuable item.
* Along with being listed amongst the [[evolutionary stone]]s, the Oval Stone has the "Use" option when selected in the Bag, but if the {{player}} tries to use it, it won't say "Able" under any Pokémon.
** This makes it the only evolutionary item with "Stone" in its English name which is not an evolutionary stone.

{{Unknown name}}

An '''evolution-inducing held item''' is an item which makes the Pokémon holding it [[Evolution|evolve]] when a certain event happens, such as if the Pokémon is [[trade]]d or leveled up. The item disappears once the Pokémon has evolved. For evolution-inducing items that are not meant to be held, see the page on [[evolutionary stone]]s.

===In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
{{main|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items}}
The Mystery Dungeon series introduced some new evolutionary items as the series does not include elements such as day and night, and trading.

==In the anime==
Many evolution items have appeared in the anime. The first one to appear was the King's Rock in ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', which {{Ash}} won in the [[Sumo Conference]] and {{an|Misty}}'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} later used to evolve itself into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''. Another King's Rock appeared in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'', which was found on a rock after the water level in the local river dropped dramatically; [[Alice Telesu|Alice]]'s {{p|Slowpoke}} used it to evolve into a {{p|Slowking}}.

A Deep Sea Scale and Deep Sea Tooth appeared in ''[[AG095|The Evolutionary War]]'' where the people in the [[A-B-C Islands]] were having an argument over which Pokémon was best, {{p|Gorebyss}} or {{p|Huntail}}.

A King's Rock, two Deep Sea Teeth, and two Deep Sea Scales appeared in ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'' as some of the items {{DL|Kimmy Shoney|Tokin}} {{a|Pickup|picked up}}.

In ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'', {{an|Brock}} carved and made an Oval Stone for his newly born {{p|Happiny}}, which later helped her evolve into a {{TP|Brock|Chansey}} in ''[[DP190|The Brockster is In]]''.

In ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]'', Ash got a Razor Fang from [[Gary Oak]] that he used to evolve his {{p|Gligar}} into a {{AP|Gliscor}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS108|Quilava Quandary]]'', {{adv|Gold}} was given a King's Rock by the [[Day-Care Couple]] after training with them, which he gave to his {{p|Poliwag}} to hold. In ''[[PS109|Ampharos Amore]]'', Gold's newly evolved {{p|Poliwhirl}} and {{adv|Silver}}'s {{p|Seadra}} evolved into a [[Polibo|Politoed]] and a {{p|Kingdra}}, respectively, while holding their respective evolutionary items, King's Rock and Dragon Scale.

In ''[[PS394|Yikes, Yanmega! II]]'', {{adv|Diamond|Dia}}'s {{p|Lickilicky}}, Kit, used a Protector to protect itself from [[Mars]]'s {{p|Yanmega}} swarm's soundwaves. [[Roseanne]] later revealed that the Protector was one of the items she used in her research of Pokémon Evolution, the other seen items being a Reaper Cloth, Dragon Scale, Magmarizer, and King's Rock.

In ''[[PS445|Dealing With A Koffing Fit]]'', Silver's {{p|Sneasel}} evolved into a {{TP|Silver|Weavile}} due to having gained experience while holding a Razor Claw, which had been given to Silver by {{adv|Green}}.

In ''[[PS449|Raising the Stakes with Rhyperior]]'', it was revealed that Silver had given {{adv|Blue}} a Protector to be held by his {{p|Rhydon}}, allowing it to evolve into a {{TP|Blue|Rhyperior}} when it was traded between the two Trainers. Afterwards, Blue had let Silver keep Rhyperior as a replacement for his lost {{p|Ursaring}}.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Prism Scale was incorrectly categorized in the [[Bag]] as a general item and not as an evolution-inducing held item. This was later fixed in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, but starting from {{g|X and Y}} it is now again incorrectly categorised, this time as a valuable item.
* Along with being listed amongst the [[evolutionary stone]]s, the Oval Stone has the "Use" option when selected in the Bag, but if the {{player}} tries to use it, it won't say "Able" under any Pokémon.
** This makes it the only evolutionary item with "Stone" in its English name which is not an evolutionary stone.
