 ==Trivia==
-* The [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon are the only {{type|Rock}} Pokémon of that generation that are not part {{type|Ground}}.
+* The [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon are the only {{type|Rock}} Pokémon introduced in said generation to not also have the {{t|Ground}} [[type]].
-* {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Rampardos}} are the only Fossil Pokémon that are pure-Rock type.
+* Some Fossil Pokémon have unique attributes:
-* {{p|Tirtouga}} and {{p|Carracosta}} are the only Fossil Pokémon to have Rock as their secondary type.
+** {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Rampardos}} are the only ones to be single-type.
-* {{p|Archen}} and {{p|Archeops}} are the only Fossil Pokémon without Hidden Abilities.
+** {{p|Tirtouga}} and {{p|Carracosta}} are the only ones to have Rock as their secondary type.
-* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only Fossil Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
+** {{p|Archen}} and {{p|Archeops}} are the only ones without a [[Hidden Ability]].
-* All Fossil Pokémon are capable of learning {{m|Ancient Power}} by level-up.
+** {{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 up.
 * [[Generation VIII]] is the only generation to have Fossil Pokémon that are not Rock types, are gender unknown, and are incapable of {{pkmn|breeding}}.
 * The Fossilized Drake and Fossilized Fish appear to have an inventory sprite mix up, as the Fossilized Fish offers the "-vish" head for {{p|Arctovish}} and {{p|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 {{p|Dracozolt}}.
-* [[Generation III]] also introduces {{p|Relicanth}}, a ancient Pokémon which is partially Rock-type which 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 only ever able to be caught in the wild and never revived from a fossil, it is not included in the Fossil Pokémon group.

However, since Relicanth is only ever able to be caught in the wild and never revived from a fossil, it is not included in the Fossil Pokémon group.
-* In {{g|Colosseum}}'s Story Mode, various characters use {{p|Lileep}}, {{p|Anorith}}, {{p|Cradily}}, and {{p|Armaldo}}, in contrast to the scarcity of fossil Pokémon usage in the core series games. The most famous of these users are [[Miror B.]] and [[Gonzap]], each of whom at some point has an Armaldo on his team. However, in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Lileep, Anorith, Cradily, and Armaldo only appear once, although an {{p|Aerodactyl}} also appears on [[Greevil]]'s team once his [[Shadow Pokémon]] have been Snagged.
 * While it cannot be revived via 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, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}} had a fossilized eyebrow in [[M01|the anime's first movie]] from which its genetic material was used to create {{p|Mewtwo}}. 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. Mew's introduction to the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the Japanese version of the {{TCG|Fossil}} Expansion could be considered a reference to this part of the anime.

-* Fossil Pokémon are featured in a Japan-only nationwide traveling exhibition, Pokémon Fossil Museum (Japanese: ポケモン化石博物館). Visitors can learn about the real-life prehistoric animals that inspired the designs of Fossil Pokémon and compare between 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>
