Pokémon X And Pokémon Y Introduce Their Fossil Pokémon

The Pokémon Company have revealed the two fossil Pokémon in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y—Tyrunt and Amaura, obtained by using the Jaw Fossil and Sail Fossil respectively.

Tyrunt is said to be “over one hundred million years old” and will throw a fit when it doesn’t like something. It’s a Rock/Dragon type and evolves into Tyrantrum, a Pokémon with large, powerful jaws.

 

 

Meanwhile, Amaura has the Refrigerate ability, which turns Normal-type moves into Ice-type moves. Refrigerate is a new ability being introduced in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y.

Amaura evolves into Aurorus. Both Pokémon are Rock/Ice-types. Like Tyrunt, Amaura is believed to be one hundred million years old. After it evolves, it can blast air to form a wall of ice to shield itself from attacks. It can learn Aurora Beam at an early level and also has a move named Freeze-Dry, which is super-effective against Water-type Pokémon—something that isn’t typical of Ice-type moves.

 

 

Fossils can be restored at the Fossil Lab, seen below. Pokémon X and Pokémon Y will be available on October 12th worldwide.
