Shiny Fossil Pokemon - How To Get

Low Chance Of Shiny Fossil Pokemon When Fusing

When you combine fossils to get Fossil Pokemon, there's a small chance that you'll get the shiny version of that Pokemon, which has different appearance than the standard one. However, shiny Pokemon chance is pretty slim based on our testing.

Save & Reload Until You Get A Shiny Fossil Pokemon

To get a shiny Fossil Pokemon, you can try the Save/Load method as the game will not save when you combined your fossils. Save beforehand and load when fusion results were unsatisfactory.

4	Close the game if no shiny Fossil Pokemon appears.
5	Restart the game, load, and repeat step 3
6	Rinse & Repeat until success.

Fossil Professor - Where to Find & Use

Find Fossil Professor At Route 6

Once you have the required fossils, head to the Fossil Professor found on Route 6. Talking to her will make her ask you if you want to fuse the fossils.

Use Professor For Fusing Fossils

You will then be asked two questions by the Professor. Answer these questions using the two fossils you want to fuse. Once you have chosen your two fossils, the Pokemon will be resurrected.

Two Different Fossils are Required

Before heading to the Professor, make sure that you have two fossils with you- a top half, and a bottom half. Not having the required fossils will not trigger the Professor to ask you if you want to resurrect these fossils.

How to Get Fossils

Get Fossils Near Professor (One-Time)

You will encounter a Professor researching fossils while exploring Route 6. There will be fossils near her that you can pick up. The nearby Pokemon Center will also have an NPC that will give you fossils when you talk to them.

Digging Duo Guide - Items & Locations

Use Watts to Hire the Digging Duo

Keep in mind that asking the Digging Duo to dig up items for you costs 500 Watts. You should also note that getting a fossil is not guaranteed since the items that the Digging Duo get are random.

Watts - How To Farm Them And Their Uses

Use The Skilled Brother

Each of the two brothers has a particular specialty. One will be high in skill, the other high in stamina. We recommend the skilled brother, because the quality of the items he gives you will be higher!

Save Game Before Making Fossil Pokemon

It is recommended to save the game before talking to the professor. This way, you can reload the save if you get a Fossil Pokemon with stats that you do not like.
