a prehistoric encounter!

Fossil YAMASK (Ghost/Rock) & Fossil DWEBBLE (Dragon/Rock)

This two pokemon has made their home in a vast ravine rich in fossils, the constant interaction with the fossilized remains eventually caused some changes in their physical appearence as well as behaviour.

Fossil YAMASK carries the fossilized claw of an ancient raptor like predator.By doing so this pokemon has been able to channel this predators spirit from the afterlife. Thanks to his the pokemon has started to look more like such creature, featuing feather like spikes and claw like fingers. It brandishes the Claw as a weapon and uses it to fight.

Fossil DWEBBLE has made its rocky shell using a piece of bedrock that contains the skull of an ancient ceratopsid. Somehow having such remains constantly on them has affected them on a genetic level, making them tougher and more aggresive, choosing to fight head on instead of hiding inside their shells.

This pokemon evolve by leveling up inside of the ravine into DEINORYGUS (Ghost/Rock) & STYRACRUST (Dragon/Rock)

DEINORYGUS (from Deinonychus) now posseses the fossilized remains of the original predator from wich the original claw came, still embeded in stone. Despite its looks it can move with incredible speed, and having freed the fossil's sickle like claws from the rock, it uses them to slice its opponets with ferocity.

STYRACRUST (from Styracosaurus) now carries a fully developed ceratopsian skull on top of its rocky shell. Its body now has changed to become as tough as the skull with sets of armored horns that can be used for both defense and attack. It uses the large horns of the skull to fend of predators as well as compete with other members of its species for territory.

With the miracle of science we have managed to bring fossil pokemon back to life, it seems that these ancient monsters possess a wild elemental power that awakens when using movements of their types

Fossil TINKATINK, Fossil TINKATUFF & PTENKATON (Fairy/Rock)

And here are the next fossil forms, this time is the TINKATON line, who now uses the many fossils from the ravine to create digging tools.

Their hands and feet are covered in dirt from digging so much in search of more bones, and with time this dirt has become a protective layer, like boots and gloves.

TINKATINK uses the skull of an Austriadactylus and a fossilized egg as a shovel and pail, the sand around its feet resembles flip-flops

TINKATUFF uses the skull and bones of a Pteranodon Sternbergi as a pickaxe and the dome of a Pachysephalosaurus as a helmet

PTENKATON has made a Jackhammer out of several bones, with the skull resembling that of a Tropeognatus, and the dome of a Stygimoloch as a helmet

They have an ability called "Earth Mover" that boost the power of ground type moves, so, despite being rock types they have acces to all the "bone" and "drill" moves

Have you ever taken care of fossil pokemon? If so, do you know how they got there?

It's my understanding that Paldea doesn't actually have many fossils to restore, if at all.

yes, i adopted a senior archeops named iris and took care of him for a few months until he passed away. i also help train an archen at the aviary i volunteer at, and i'm currently talking back and forth with some of the folks at the fossil revival center in nacrene about an archen that they cloned from iris. he was actually hatched from an ex ovo culture system so that his development could be studied!

both iris and frijoles, the archen that i work with, were cloned from dna samples found inside fossils. most fossil mons in labs are revived from these samples as opposed to being bred, because it allows for the opportunity to practice the cloning process and also to study these pokemon with the exact same genetic sequences that their dna donor had when it was alive. revival is a really expensive and time-consuming process, so most privately-owned fossil mons are bred!

and yes, we don't have any fossil deposits that i know of. it'd be interesting if someone does eventually discover fossils here! but it's actually been theorized that, because of terastal energy flowing from the great crater into our soil, any fossils we did have may have eventually broken down.
