Read more ↓Carracosta is a dual Water/Rock-type Pokémon, known as the Prototurtle Pokémon, and is the evolved form of Tirtouga. Introduced in Generation V, it is a fossil Pokémon, revived from the Cover Fossil. Carracosta's design is heavily inspired by ancient sea turtles, particularly Archelon, an extinct genus of giant sea turtles. In the Pokémon world, Carracosta is depicted as a powerful predator that lived in ancient seas, capable of crushing prey with its strong jaws. Its shell is incredibly tough, allowing it to withstand immense pressure and attacks. In the games, Carracosta often boasts high Defense and Attack stats, reflecting its robust nature. It played a role in the Pokémon Black and White anime, with one being owned by Lenora, the Nacrene City Gym Leader. This Pokémon's unique typing gives it interesting matchups, being strong against Fire, Ice, Flying, and Bug types, but vulnerable to Grass and Electric attacks. Its presence highlights the rich paleontological aspect of the Pokémon universe, offering a glimpse into prehistoric ecosystems.
