This ancient creature is known for its unique appearance, resembling an ammonite with powerful, claw-like appendages. Anorith's natural habitat would have been deep in the ancient seas, where it is believed to have hunted for prey using its formidable claws. Its diet likely consisted of smaller marine organisms, which it would have deftly captured. Anorith evolves into Armaldo, a larger and even more fearsome ancient predator. In the games, Anorith is obtained by reviving the Claw Fossil, highlighting its prehistoric origins. Its unique typing gives it interesting matchups, being strong against Grass and Psychic types, but vulnerable to Rock, Steel, and Water. Anorith's presence in the Pokémon world emphasizes the theme of ancient life and scientific revival, playing a role in showcasing the diversity of extinct Pokémon.
