Fossil Pokémon in Black & White
Relic Castle makes you choose in Black & White: take the Cover Fossil for Tirtouga or the Plume Fossil for Archen. The seven older lines among the game’s 17 fossil Pokémon come from the post-game, when a Worker in Twist Mountain hands out Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh finds. Nacrene Museum revives each at Lv. 25.

All 17 fossil Pokémon in Black & White, across 9 fossil lines
Black and White share the same fossil lines with no version split, and Carracosta and Archeops make their debut as Unova’s own pair.
