The Pokemon Fossil Lab is a facility that revives fossils back to their Original Pokémon Form.
Fossils are won through Sidequests in their respected region or unlocked through Mystery Boxes. Once a fossil is obtained, it is taken to the Fossil Lab where the item is revived into the Pokemon is was in its pre-fossil state. When restoring a fossil, there is a small chance that the fossil restoration is disturbed, this results into the fossil being restored to a new form of the pokemon, (Fossil) form.
In the regenerating process, a random type is assigned to the Pokémon with Normal being the most common by half of the total chances. In addition to this, each fossil also has a 1:10 chance to drop the corresponding avatar to the Pokémon being restored.
Unlike Pokémon redeemed anywhere else in the game through any means, fossil Pokémon are put into Pokéballs rather than a special type of ball.
Below is a list of each fossil and the Pokemon it revives into as well as the type rate at which they revive in percent.
Fossil
A Fossil is a trace or piece of an organism from the past, such as a skeleton, shell, or leaf, preserved in the earth.
In Pokémon Vortex, Fossils of Prehistoric Pokémon are items which can be revived into living Pokémon using techniques developed by the Fossil Lab.
Fossils of Prehistoric Pokemon have another form known as the (Fossil) Form, which can be obtained when the fossil restoration process is disturbed. Lileep and the Galarian fossil Pokemon do not have (Fossil) forms.
Fossil Revivals
Note: All Fossils have a 50% chance of being restored to a Normal Pokémon and a 10% chance to be restored to one of the 5 special variants.
There is a small chance that the fossil restoration process may get disturbed and restore the Pokemon into its (Fossil) Form.
