Effect
If brought to the one of the following locations, the Root Fossil can be regenerated into a Lileep.
Generation III
In the Generation III games, the Root Fossil is a Key Item.
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the Root Fossil (as well as the Claw Fossil) is found in the game data, but it is not legitimately obtainable and has no effect. The player is unable to regenerate this fossil in the Cinnabar Lab.
Generation IV onward
From Generation IV onward, the Root Fossil is no longer a Key Item, and is a normal item. Therefore, multiples of them can be obtained, they can be held, and sent to other players via trading.

While the fossil itself has not yet physically appeared in the animated series, an image of a Root Fossil was seen in Where's Armaldo?, when Professor Proctor explained Ash and his friends how he had restored several Lileep and Anorith back to life from Root and Claw Fossils.
In the TCG
- Main article: Root Fossil (EX Sandstorm 92)
The Root Fossil was introduced as a Trainer card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game in the EX Sandstorm expansion, first released in the Japanese Miracle of the Desert expansion. Although it is a Trainer card, it is played as if it were a Colorless-type Basic Pokémon. However, Root Fossil can't be affected by any Special Conditions, can't retreat, and the player may choose to discard it at any time during their turn. Additionally, it allows the player to remove one damage counter from Root Fossil between turns. It can evolve into Lileep that evolve from a Root Fossil. During the EX Series, Knocking Out a Root Fossil was not rewarded with a Prize card (it still had to be discarded). This changed in the Diamond & Pearl Series with its reprint in the Legends Awakened expansion, to match the Fossil cards released in the previous expansion.
During the Black & White Series, the Plasma Blast expansion included the Item card Root Fossil Lileep. It allows players to look at the bottom seven cards of their deck, reveal a Lileep they find there, and put it onto their Bench. The other six cards are then shuffled back into the deck.
Root Fossils are also featured on Unidentified Fossil cards. These cards are played as if they were Basic Pokémon and can evolve into Lileep.
- Main article: Antique Root Fossil (Stellar Crown 130)
The Scarlet & Violet Series saw the release of Antique Root Fossil in the Stellar Crown expansion, first released in the Japanese Stellar Miracle expansion. This card is like the previously released Root Fossil card, but with a different Ability that makes it so that if this card is in the Active Spot, the opponent's Active Pokémon's attacks cost 
more.
Trivia
- The symbol for the EX Sandstorm expansion
resembles the Claw and Root Fossils.
