Armor-Fossil 
Armor Fossil is an in-game item prominently featured in the Pokémon series, particularly in games where fossil restoration is possible. This item serves as a key element in acquiring the Pokémon Shieldon, a Rock/Steel-type dinosaur-like creature known for its defensive abilities.
Effects
The primary function of the Armor Fossil is to be resurrected into a Shieldon using a special process available at specific locations such as:
- Oreburgh Mining Museum in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
- Nacrene City Museum in Pokémon Black and White.
To accomplish this, players must first find the Armor Fossil either by mining in the Underground (in the Sinnoh Region games) or through other in-game events and interactions.
Interesting Facts
- Exclusive Availability: In certain versions of the games, Armor Fossils are version-exclusive items, often paired with the Skull Fossil, which resurrects Cranidos. For example, in Pokémon Diamond, players can find Skull
