The Skull Fossil can be regenerated into a {{p|Cranidos}}, and the Armor Fossil can be regenerated into an {{p|Shieldon}}.
The '''Armor Fossil''' (Japanese: '''たてのカセキ''' ''Shield Fossil'') is a [[Fossil]] introduced in [[Generation IV]] that can be regenerated into {{p|Shieldon}}. It is the counterpart of the [[Skull Fossil]].


The fossils can be revived by turning them in at a Scientist in the [[Oreburgh City]] museum.

Unlike previous games, where only one fossil would be available, but would be chosen from a set of two, in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, they are game-specific. Only players of Diamond can get the Skull Fossil, and only players of Pearl can get the Armor Fossil. 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.
===Effect===
====Passive effect====
If brought to the one of the following locations, the Armor Fossil can be regenerated into a {{p|Shieldon}}.


After unlocking the [[National Dex]], players can also find the [[Claw and Root Fossils|Root, Claw]], [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome, and Helix]] Fossils and the [[Old Amber]] by digging in the Underground.

==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.
