Armor Fossil

The Helmet Fossil and Shield Fossil are fossils from the Generation IV games.

The Helmet Fossil can be regenerated into a Tatetops, and the Shield Fossil can be regenerated into an Zugaidos.

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

Players can also find the Root, Claw, Dome, and Helix Fossils and the Old Amber by digging in the underground area.
