Anorith (Japanese: アノプス Anopth) is a Rock/Bug-type Pokémon.

Biology

Anorith is a fossil Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be resurrected from a Claw Fossil.

Physiology

Anorith is a swimming creature which uses flexible lobes on the sides of its body to propel itself through the water. Its large head had one pair of large, beady eyes. Two large claws protrude from its head, serving as either defense against predators or attack against prey. These claws eventually turn to the fossil that can be used to revive the Anorith.

Gender differences

none because it is genderless.
