====Passive effect====
If brought to the one of the following locations, the Armor Fossil can be regenerated into a {{p|Shieldon}}.


Unlike previous games, where only one fossil could be received, but would be chosen from a set of two, in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, they are [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|game-specific]]. However, there are unlimited amounts of them now found in the [[The Underground|Sinnoh Underground]], so players can trade revived Pokémon, or even the fossils themselves, to their friends without losing the chance to have them. Only players of Diamond can get Skull Fossils, and only players of Pearl can get Armor Fossils. In Platinum, only one or the other will be found based on the last digit of the player's [[Trainer ID number]]. An odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9) will only generate Skull Fossils, while an even number (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) will only generate Armor Fossils.

Unlike the other fossils, the Skull and Armor Fossils cannot be found by {{m|Rock Smash|smashing rocks}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. However, they can be imported via [[trading]], after which they can be revived at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] like the others.

==In the TCG==
[[File:ArmorFossilMysteriousTreasures116.jpg|200px|thumb|Armor Fossil in the TCG]]
{{main|Armor Fossil (Mysterious Treasures 116)}}
The '''Armor Fossil''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Secret of the Lakes}} expansion. Although it is a Trainer card, it is played as if it were a {{ct|Colorless}} [[Basic Pokémon]], meaning the player's opponent takes a Prize card when it is Knocked Out. However, Skull Fossil can't be affected by any {{TCG|Special Conditions}}, can't retreat, and the player may choose to discard it at any time during their turn. Additionally, if it is damaged by an opponent's Pokémon's attack, it allows the player to flip coins until they get tails and, for each heads, reduce the damage done by the Attacking Pokémon by ten. It can evolve into {{TCG|Shieldon}} that evolve from an Armor Fossil.
 
During the XY Series, the {{TCG|Steam Siege}} expansion included the {{TCG|Item card}} {{TCG ID|Steam Siege|Armor Fossil Shieldon|98}}. It allows players to look at the bottom seven cards of their deck, reveal a Shieldon they find there, and put it onto their Bench. The other six cards are then shuffled back into the deck.
 
Armor Fossils are also featured on {{TCG|Unidentified Fossil}} cards. These cards are played as if they were Basic Pokémon and can evolve into Shieldon.
