Pokemon Legends: Z-A – Aerodactyl, Tyrunt, and Amaura guide

You’ll need to advance in the game’s story until you unlock Side Mission 27, “Restored from a Fossil.” This mission is located at the Pokemon Research Lab, which is in the southern area of the map.

Restored from a Fossil quest steps

If you’re hoping to get Pokémon from fossils and amber in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, here’s a guide on how to do it.

  • Go to the second-floor laboratory of the Pokemon Research Lab and talk to an scientist named Reg to start the side quest.
  • Reg will give you 20,000 gold to purchase either a Jaw Fossil or Sail Fossil from the Stone Emporium. The establishment is due north of the Pokemon Research Center.
  • Buy either of the items and hand it over to Reg, who’ll then reward you with a new Pokemon.
  • Reg will also tell you that you can give him additional fossil and amber items if you want the machine to create other creatures.

What kinds of Pokemon come from fossil and amber items?

You can get the following Pokemon via the items and the use of Reg’s machine:

  • Jaw Fossil – Costs 20,000x gold; unlocks the Tyrunt (Rock/Dragon).
  • Sail Fossil – Costs 20,000x gold; unlocks the Amaura (Rock/Ice).
  • Old Amber – Costs 30,000x gold; unlocks the Aerodactyl (Rock/Flying).

When you begin, Reg provides 20,000 gold, allowing you to immediately buy either the Jaw Fossil or the Sail Fossil. This effectively gives you one of the corresponding Pokémon – Tyrunt or Amaura – for free. Simply save up enough gold to then purchase the fossils and Pokémon for the remaining two creatures.

Note 2: All Pokemon created from the machine will be at level 20.

Which Pokemon is the best choice: Aerodactyl, Tyrunt, or Amaura?

Okay, so in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, picking which Pokemon to revive from fossils and amber really just depends on what *you* like. But honestly, there are a few things I think about when I’m making that choice – it’s not totally random!

  • Aerodactyl has a better combination of types–i.e. Rock/Flying–making them strong against other classifications with hardly any overlaps.
  • Aerodactyl has no other evolutions. If you can purchase an Aerodactylite Stone, you can unlock and use their Mega Evolution immediately.
  • Conversely, Tyrunt and Aurorus still need to reach level 39 for their regular evolutions into the Tyrantrum and Aurorus, respectively. They need a lot of XP before they can use their Mega Evolutions.

That wraps up our guide on getting Pokémon from fossils and amber in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. As you’re building your team, be sure to check out our guide to the best Pokémon to use early in the game.
