Like Generations I through III, the player can once again choose which fossil they want to get in each game. The fossils are found in the [[Ancient Castle]], where they will be offered by one of the {{tc|Backpacker}}s in the first floor of the ruins. One can be chosen, and the other will be kept by the Backpacker.
The '''Cover Fossil''' (Japanese: '''ふたのカセキ''' ''Cover Fossil'') is a [[Fossil]] introduced in [[Generation V]] that can be regenerated into {{p|Tirtouga}}. It is the counterpart of the [[Plume Fossil]].


The fossils can be revived by being given to one of the scientists that can be found in the [[Shippou City]] Museum. The Lid Fossil is able to be regenerated into {{p|Purotoga}} and the Wing Fossil is able to be regenerated into {{p|Aaken}}.
