→‎In the TCG: Buried Fossil is a Pokémon. Also, the Fossil Trainer card article can be used to substantially shorten this. Also, I feel like flipping this over since Mysterious Fossil did show up first. I''m relenting since one could say "Mysterious Fossil is a cameo appearance", and it would pull the main article link down but I might reconsider. Still needs more main links because Helix Fossil is no more Helix Fossilly than the others.

[[Image:Bag Dome Fossil Sprite.png|frame]]
The '''Helix Fossil''' (Japanese: '''かいのカセキ''' ''Shellfish Fossil'') is a [[Fossil]] introduced in [[Generation I]] that can be regenerated into {{p|Omanyte}}. It is the counterpart of the [[Dome Fossil]].
[[Image:Bag Helix Fossil Sprite.png|frame]]


These [[key item]]s are found in [[Mt. Moon]] after defeating a [[Super Nerd]]. While both are present, {{player}}s are allowed to choose only one, as the other one will be taken by the Super Nerd. If brought to the laboratory on [[Cinnabar Island]], the Dome Fossil can be regenerated into a {{p|Kabuto}}, and the Helix Fossil can be regenerated into an {{p|Omanyte}}. The Pokémon extracted from the Super Nerd's fossil is seen in the zoo just outside the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]].

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Dome Fossils are seen in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]''. They make up the structure of an island, and are revived into Kabuto in red moonlight, causing the whole island to collapse and sink.
===Effect===
If brought to the one of the following locations, the Helix Fossil can be regenerated into an {{p|Omanyte}}.


Both fossils appear on the artwork for the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} card. However, the artwork depicts the Dome Fossil as the fossil of a {{p|Kabutops}} rather than a Kabuto.

The fossils are also available, like the [[Claw and Root Fossils]], in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[The Underground|Underground]] after the [[National Pokédex]] is acquired. Helix Fossils are more common in Diamond while Dome Fossils are more common in Pearl.
====Generation I and III====
In the Generation I and III games, the Helix Fossil is a [[Key Item]].


In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} the Dome and Helix fossils can be found randomly by {{m|Rock Smash|smashing rocks}} at the Ruins of Alph, and can be revived at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. The Dome Fossil is exclusive to the SoulSilver version while the Helix Fossil is exclusive to the HeartGold version.
In {{game|Emerald}}, the Helix Fossil (as well as the [[Dome Fossil]] and [[Old Amber]]) is found in the game data, but it is [[List of unobtainable items|not legitimately obtainable]] and has no effect. The player is unable to regenerate this fossil in the [[Devon Corporation]].


==Appearance==
====Generation IV onward====
[[File:EP089.png|thumb|right|250px|Dome Fossils, as seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
From Generation IV onward, the Helix Fossil is no longer a Key Item, and is a normal item. Therefore, multiples of them can be obtained, they can be [[held item|held]], and sent to other players via [[trade|trading]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Super Nerd PO.png|250px||thumb|A Helix Fossil in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
===Pokémon Origins===
A Helix Fossil briefly appeared in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', where it was shown being hogged by a {{tc|Super Nerd}} at [[Mt. Moon]].
{{-}}
==In the TCG==
[[File:HelixFossilMajesticDawn91.jpg|200px|thumb|The first dedicated Helix Fossil card in the TCG]]
{{main|Helix Fossil (Majestic Dawn 91)}}
The '''Helix Fossil''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}} expansion, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Moonlit Pursuit}} expansion. As a {{TCG|Fossil Trainer card}}, after being played it is put onto the Bench as a {{ct|Colorless}} [[Basic Pokémon]]. When the player attaches a {{TCG|Water Energy}} from their hand to the Helix Fossil, its {{TCG|Poké-Body}} allows them to search their deck for an {{TCG|Omanyte}} that evolves from a Helix Fossil and evolve Helix Fossil into the Omantye. Afterwards, the player shuffles their deck.
{{main|Helix Fossil Omanyte (Fates Collide 102)}}
During the XY Series, the {{TCG|Fates Collide}} expansion included the {{TCG|Item card}} {{TCG ID|Fates Collide|Helix Fossil Omanyte|102}}. It allows players to look at the bottom seven cards of their deck, reveal an Omanyte they find there, and put it onto their Bench. The other six cards are then shuffled back into the deck.
{{main|Antique Helix Fossil (151 153)}}
The Scarlet & Violet Series saw the release of {{TCG ID|151|Antique Helix Fossil|153}} in the {{TCG|151}} expansion. This card is similar to the original Helix Fossil, being another Fossil Trainer card. It has an {{TCG|Ability}} that blocks the opponent from playing any {{TCG|Stadium card}}s from their hand, as long as Antique Helix Fossil is in the Active Spot.
Helix Fossils are also featured on the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} and {{TCG|Unidentified Fossil}} cards. They are also Fossil Trainer cards which can evolve into certain Omanyte. A Helix Fossil is also on {{TCG|Buried Fossil}}, which is a Pokémon which evolves in the same way Mysterious Fossil does.
{{-}}
==Trivia==
{{bulbanews|Gotta Meme 'em All: Spiraling Out of Control!}}
* In the first {{game|Red and Blue|s}} run of [[Twitch Plays Pokémon]], the chaotic control scheme resulted in the player constantly using the Helix Fossil. This lead to jokes that the game's protagonist was constantly consulting it for advice. This resulted in memes that the player worshiped the Helix Fossil and fans referred to {{p|Omanyte}} as "Lord Helix".
** In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], when the language is set to French, before battle [[Brawly]] says, "{{tt|J'ai découvert le secret de la vraie puissance en fixant un ''Nautile'' pendant des jours et des jours...|I discovered the secret of true power by staring at a Helix Fossil for days and days...}}", [[List of cross-canon references|referencing]] the aforementioned meme.
