Diamond, Pearl and Platinum Pokémon: Fossil Pokémon | Information about the fossilised Pokémon
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, two new Pokémon and their evolutions were introduced, with the only proper way of getting them in-game was by using the familiar old method of fossil reviving.

This is my guide, so get your Explorer Kit out, and follow my instructions!

Pokémon Diamond

In Pokémon Diamond, you only can get the Skull Fossil in-game, and it is found by digging in the Underground.

Go digging, and chip into the walls until you find one of these fossils, and then take it to the Oreburgh Mining Museum.

Note, finding these fossils are down to pot luck, and there are no designtaed areas to find them.

Well, now it is revived, you will have a new Level 20 Cranidos in your party. Here is a lovely table explaining it and its evolution, Rampardos.

Cranidos Rock
Rampardos Rock

Well, that was Cranidos and Rampardos explained. Now onto the Pokémon Pearl in-game fossils.

Pokémon Pearl

In Pokémon Pearl, you can only receive the Armour Fossil in-game, and like Diamond, it can only be found underground.

Once revived, you will have a Level 20 Shieldon in your party. Here's a table to describe Shieldon and it's evolution, Bastiodon.

Name
Sprite
Type
Shieldon Rock/Steel
Bastiodon Rock/Steel

Well, that concludes my guide to the Diamond and Pearl fossils, and where you can find them in your game. Hopefully I will be writing some more guides, so stay tuned to PKMN.NET! Lorem Ipsum, signing out!

I found a ton of Armour Fossils, and now I have, like seven Shieldons.

not possible to find underground all the time

Odd that they make no mention that after you get the national dex, you can find all fossils except for Skull in Pearl, and Armor in Diamond. What's even more weird is that in my Diamond version, I have dug up all previous gen fossils multiple times except for Lileep. I just can't find the Root fossil, but have 7 Anoriths =/

Ive found loads of fossils underground, so much so, that if I wanted to, I could have about 12 Shieldons on Pearl.
