Fossil Pokémon in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire carry 17 fossil Pokémon. The Route 111 desert offers the Root Fossil for Lileep or the Claw Fossil for Anorith. Rock Smash at Mirage spots, reached by soaring, gives Old Amber in both versions, plus Helix, Skull and Cover in Alpha Sapphire and Dome, Armor and Plume in Omega Ruby.

The list

All 17 fossil Pokémon in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, across 9 fossil lines

Kalos is the one region with no fossil to find here, though a Jaw or Sail Fossil brought over from X or Y still revives at Devon Corporation as Tyrunt or Amaura.

How to find and revive every fossil in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

The desert pick needs only the Go-Goggles. Everything else hides at Mirage spots, so keep a Rock Smash user with you once you can soar.
