How to get and restore all Fossil Pokémon in Legends Z-A

Legends Z-A has no shortage of pocket monsters you can capture, and you can add some ‘historic’ names in the form of Fossil Pokémon.

There are three Fossil Pokémon to add in Legends Z-A. They’re introduced to you automatically if you pay attention to the side quests. However, unlocking these Pokémon involves a specific amount of in-game resources, and this guide will help you prepare for them.

How to get Fossil Pokémon in Legends Z-A

The easiest way to obtain Fossil Pokémon is by completing the Restored from a Fossil quest. This is the 27th side mission, so it will take a fair amount of time for you to gain access. The mission requires you to meet Reg at the Pokémon Research Center.

Reg will give you enough Poke Dollars for buying a Fossil of your choice. You can then use the Fossil to have your first prehistoric Pokémon.

How to complete Restored from a Fossil quest in Legends Z-A

The Restored from a Fossil quest requires you to travel to the Pokémon Research Center. It’s located to the west of Wild Zone 1, so finding it isn’t hard. It’s the exact location from where you start your Pokémon journey.

Go to the second floor, and you’ll find Reg on it. He will reward you with 20,000 Poke Dollars. You’ll be tasked with obtaining either the Jaw Fossil or the Sail Fossil. To buy, go to the Stone Emporium, which is located in the southern part of Lumiose City.

Enter and exit Wild Zone 1, and then turn right. Head straight on the main path, and you’ll find the Stone Emporium. This place sells plenty of evolutionary items like Evolution Stones and certain Mega Stones. Take the stone back to Reg, and he will hand you a Pokémon. You can repeat this process to get all three Fossil Pokémon for your collection.

Here’s a list of what each Fossil/Amber stone produces and how much they cost.

Whenever you choose to buy a Fossil, take it to Reg, and you’ll get the corresponding Pokémon.
