Fossil Pokémon in Black 2 & White 2
Black 2 & White 2 hold 17 fossil Pokémon. After the credits, Lenora in Nacrene City gives a Cover Fossil for Tirtouga or a Plume Fossil for Archen. A Twist Mountain Worker covers the rest from then on, handing out one a day, Skull and Armor included. Revive them at Nacrene Museum.
All 17 fossil Pokémon in Black 2 & White 2, across 9 fossil lines
Nothing in Black 2 & White 2 is locked to one version, and both Lenora’s pick and the Twist Mountain gifts wait until the Elite Four is behind you.
Gen 1 fossil lines (Kanto)
3Aerodactyl has nothing to evolve into, so it is the quickest Kanto line to put to work, while Omanyte and Kabuto wait until Lv. 40 to evolve.

Fossil Pokémon by region in Black 2 & White 2
Twist Mountain covers the Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh sets alike, so Cranidos and Shieldon arrive through the same Worker’s gifts as Omanyte or Lileep. Unova’s set is the exception.
