No new fossils were introduced in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver]], or [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]].
No new fossils were introduced in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver]], or [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]]. However, {{p|Omanyte}},{{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}} are prominently featured in the puzzles located at [[Ruins of Alph]]. Of the three, only Aerodactyl is actually obtainable in the games via an in-game [[trade]] with an NPC in Kanto (for {{p|Chansey}}); Omanyte and Kabuto must be traded from Generation I.


[[Brock]], being a fossil enthusiast, has an {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}} in this generation's games, as well as the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium games]] in [[Gym Leader Castle]]. While he has yet to use them again since Generation II, his fondness of fossils is referenced again in the next generation of games when a man in [[Mt. Moon]] mentions Brock helps excavate fossils at the location.
[[Lance]], who is now the [[Champion]], continues to have Aerodactyl on his team. In addition, [[Brock]], being a fossil enthusiast, has an {{p|Omastar}} and a {{p|Kabutops}} in this generation's games, as well as the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium games]] in [[Gym Leader Castle]]. While he has yet to use them again since Generation II, his fondness of fossils is referenced again in the next generation of games when a man in [[Mt.

Additionally, {{p|Relicanth}} is also an ancient Pokémon which is partially Rock-type, and it can be considered a [[wp:Living fossil|living fossil]].  However, since it survived extinction for approximately a hundred million years and can be caught in the wild instead of being revived from a fossil, it is rarely included in the fossil Pokémon group.

[[Steven Stone]], a rock collector whose father is head of the Devon Corporation, has two fossil Pokémon, {{p|Armaldo}} and {{p|Cradily}}. In [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]], [[Roxanne]] will eventually gain an Aerodactyl, Omastar, and Kabutops for her team. [[Miror B.]] has an Armaldo on his team in [[Pokémon Colosseum]].

In [[Pokémon Colosseum]]'s Story Mode, various characters use the Hoenn fossils, including Relicanth. The most famous of these users are [[Miror B.]] and [[Gonzap]], of whom each has at some points an Armaldo on his team. In [[Pokémon XD]], this relative ubiquity is cut considerably, with Lileep and Anorith only being seen once and their evolutions - not at all. That said, Relicanth deserves special mention as a member of [[Zook]]'s team.


FireRed and LeafGreen fossil details are the same as those in Generation I, while Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald fossils may be revived in the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]].

In [[Sinnoh]], when players travel [[the Underground|underground]], they can find most of the fossils by digging, along with several other rare items, potentially. After getting the [[National Dex]], they can also find the five fossils from the previous three generations.

[[Roark]] has a {{p|Cranidos}}, while his father, [[Byron]], has a {{p|Bastiodon}}.
[[Roark]] has a Cranidos, while his father, [[Byron]], has a {{p|Bastiodon}}. Crandios, {{p|Rampardos}} and Shieldon can also be separately found when battling three lesser-known trainers; this is done to account for coverage of seen Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh Pokédex]]. In the post-Elite Four stage of the games, Aerodactyl can be spotted with another trainer.

In the anime, most fossil Pokémon are in fact, not extinct, but have simply been hibernating underground for millions of years, as seen in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]'' and ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''.  However, [[Professor Proctor]] and [[Gary]] have both used research to directly revive fossil Pokémon, as seen in ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]'' and ''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'' respectively.

[[Roark]], as he does in the games, has a {{p|Cranidos}} which evolves into a {{p|Rampardos}}.  This Pokémon, as well as several other fossil Pokémon, appear in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]'', ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', and ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]''.
