Fossilized Dino

Combination Notes

Combine Fossilized Dino with Fossilized Bird to restore Arctozolt.

Combine Fossilized Dino with Fossilized Fish to restore Arctovish.

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.

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.

Arctovish

Slow, bulky Water/Ice attacker.

Arctovish is sturdy and has useful Water and Ice coverage, but its low Speed makes Fishious Rend harder to maximize and its typing creates several common weaknesses.

Treat it as a bulky coverage attacker. It benefits from speed control but does not depend on it as heavily if used defensively.

Functional, but usually the least convenient Galar fossil for a straightforward playthrough.

Revival Locations

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