How to Revive Fossils
Revive Them at the Pokemon Research Laboratory
| Reg Location | |
|---|---|
 Vert District Map |
 2F Laboratory of the Pokemon Research Lab |
In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, players can revive fossils at the 2F of the Pokemon Research Laboratory during and after completing the Side Mission 27.
List of All Fossils
| Fossil | Pokemon Revived | Description |
|---|---|---|
 Jaw Fossil |
 Tyrunt
|
A fossil from a prehistoric Pokemon that once lived on the land. It looks as if it could be a piece of a large jaw. |
 Sail Fossil |
 Amaura
|
A fossil from a prehistoric Pokemon that once lived on the land. It looks like the impression from a skin sail. |
 Old Amber |
 Aerodactyl
|
A piece of amber that still contains the genetic material of a prehistoric Pokemon. It's clear with a tawny, reddish tint. |
Best Fossil to Prioritize
| Rank | Fossil | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Old Amber |
The game encourages trainers to use Mega Evolutions especially with the strength of Plus Moves, and battling both Rogue Mega Pokemon or other Mega Evolved Pokemon. Aerodactly is the only Fossil with a current Mega Evolution. |
| 2 | Jaw Fossil |
Tyrantrum, the second evolution, has a relatively good balance of Attack and Defense. Its dual typing gives it 4x resistance to Fire Types. Tyrantrum is also needed for Side Mission 115. |
| 3 | Sail Fossil |
The Rock and Ice dual typing is 4x weak to both Fighting and Steel. The second evolution, Aurorus, also has comparatively lower defensive stats. Players however will still need an Aurorus for Side Mission 116. |
How to Get Fossils
Purchase Them at the Stone Emporium
| Map View | Products Menu |
|---|---|

Players can purchase as many fossils as they want at the Stone Emporium. The following are the prices for each: ₽20,000 (Jaw or Sail Fossil), ₽30,000 (Old Amber).
