Unearth ancient secrets and revive prehistoric power! Discover the ultimate guide to finding and unlocking every elusive fossil Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and add these rare creatures to your collection before they vanish again.
How to get fossil Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Z-A
In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, finding fossil Pokémon involves locating and reviving fossils scattered throughout various regions. Players must explore ancient sites, complete specific quests, or visit specialized NPCs to obtain fossils. Once collected, these fossils can be taken to a lab or researcher who will restore them into living Pokémon, adding rare and powerful creatures to your team.
Fairly early in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, you’ll receive Side Mission 27, “Restored from a Fossil.” You’ll talk to Reg on the second floor of the Pokémon Research Lab, and he’ll explain that he can take fossils and restore them into living Pokémon. He’ll give you $20,000 to buy your first fossil.
Head on over to the Stone Emporium to do some fossil shopping. The Stone Emporium is located on Vernal Avenue in the southern portion of Lumiose City. It’s a short walk up from the Pokémon Research Lab, and you can also fast travel to the Vernal Pokémon Center just above it.
The Stone Emporium sells stones to special evolve Pokémon and certain Mega Stones. It also sells the Jaw Fossil and Sail Fossil for $20,000 and Old Amber for $30,000. While doing Side Mission 27, you’ll need to purchase either the Jaw Fossil or Sail Fossil to bring back to Reg using the money he gave you. Afterward, you can use your own money topurchase however many fossils you’d like, or save up and come back to the store later.
All you have to do next is travel back to the Pokémon Research Lab and talk to Reg. He’ll turn your Jaw Fossil into a Tyrunt, Sail Fossil into an Amaura, and Old Amber into Aerodactyl. Every transformed fossil Pokémon will start out at level 20. Tyrunt and Amaura will evolve when leveled up to 39 during the day and night respectively. Meanwhile, Aerodactyl has a pretty cool Mega Evolution. You can obtain its Mega Stone at Quasartico Inc.
Where is the Stone Emporium in Lumiose City
The Stone Emporium in Lumiose City is located on Vernal Avenue in Vert Sector 9, which is in the southern part of Lumiose City. To find it, you can head south from the Prism Tower, go straight down the main road, and the store will be on the right side. It is near the Pokémon Research Lab to the south and Café Woof to the north. The Stone Emporium sells evolution stones, fossils, and Mega Stones, with some items unlocking as you progress through the game.
