Combine Fossilized Bird with Fossilized Dino to restore Arctozolt.

Choice Context

Dracovish is the strongest general-purpose choice. Dracozolt is the next most straightforward offensive option.

All four are revived at level 10 and need substantial training when first obtained.

Dracozolt

Physical Electric/Dragon attacker.

Dracozolt has good overall bulk and Attack. Bolt Beak becomes extremely strong when Dracozolt moves first, but the move arrives late, and a revived level-10 fossil needs significant training before it catches up with the team.

Train it until it catches up, favor accurate physical moves, and use speed support if building around Bolt Beak.

Powerful after investment, but less immediately convenient than its final stats suggest.

Arctozolt

Slow mixed Electric/Ice attacker.

Arctozolt has valuable Electric and Ice coverage, but its low Speed works against Bolt Beak's bonus and its typing leaves it vulnerable to several common attack types.

Use it for coverage rather than pure speed. Paralysis or hail support can make it much more effective.

Useful but more awkward than Dracozolt or Dracovish in an ordinary Sword/Shield playthrough.

Revival Locations

Sword/Shield: Revive at Cara Liss fossil machine in Route 6. Revives at level 10.

Flavor Text
