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]] 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]]. 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]].
