How to restore Fossil Pokemon in Legends ZA

The process of obtaining Fossil Pokemon in Pokemon Legends ZA is similar to the previous generation games, where players need to bring the genetic materials from the fossils to the laboratory and resurrect the Pokemon using a machine. The place where this happens is the Pokémon Research Lab near Wild Area 1 in South Lumiose. Players will naturally unlock this location during the opening mission, so now the question becomes: How to unlock Fossil Restoration?

How to Unlock Fossil Recovery in Pokemon Legends ZA

To unlock Recovery of fossils trick in Pokemon Legends ZAplayers must first complete up to the main story mission 10 – Secrets of Mega Evolution, and once completed, become an F rank, they will be able to check the map and see that a Secondary mission icon appeared above Laboratory.

This corresponds to a secondary mission called “Restored from fossil“and for it to start, players must go to the 2nd floor of the lab and talk to the new NPC that appeared next to the machine in the middle of the room. The NPC will give the players 20,000 poke dollars go and buy one of the two fossils available at the Stone Emporium (it also sells Ancient Amber, but we'll get to that later).

Now head to the Stone Emporium, which is located on Vernal Avenue, which is north of the Laboratory. Travel there and buy either Sail Fossil (Amaura) or Jaw fossil (Tyrunt) as they cost 20,000 each. Once players have chosen the first fossil pokemon they want to resurrect, they should return to the lab and give the fossil to the researcher. After a short dialogue, he will proceed to the regeneration process and as a result Tyrunt or Amaura will be reborn.

All available fossils in Pokemon Legends ZA and can they be shiny?

Now that the fossil regeneration machine is unlocked, players can go ahead and resurrect as many fossils as they want. There are six fossil pokemon available in the game Aerodactyl, Mega Aerodactyl, Tyrunt, Tyrantum, Amauraand Aurora.

Amaura develops in Aurora at level 39, during Night.
Tyrunt develops in Tyrantum at level 39, during Day.
Aerodactyl develops in Mega Aerodactyl while holding Aerodactylitis.

All these Pokemon are available in their glossy versionsalthough obtaining it could be considered one of the most challenging feats in the game. Some may be thinking about farming money and buying a ton of Fossils to target that Shiny Tyrunt, Amaur or Aerodactyl, but before spending hundreds of Poke Dollars, the truth is that there is an easier method: save the game, restore Fossil and restart.

The Shiny magic the effect does not affect fossil Pokemon, so the chances remain unchanged even though you have this key item. Players will have to rely on RNG/Trial and Error as Fossils have a 1 in 4060 chance of being shiny.
