Tirtouga, known as the Prototurtle Pokémon, was introduced in Generation V and is renowned for its ancient lineage, having lived approximately 100 million years ago. Its shell is incredibly sturdy, protecting it from the pressures of the deep sea. Tirtouga evolves into Carracosta, a powerful ancient marine predator. In the games, players often choose between Cover Fossil and Plume Fossil (Archen's fossil) to revive one of these prehistoric creatures. Tirtouga and Carracosta play a significant role in showcasing the concept of fossil revival in the Pokémon world and are often depicted as majestic remnants of a bygone era. Their dual typing gives them unique resistances and weaknesses, making them strategic choices in battles.
