Anorith is a revived Pokémon, meaning it can only be obtained in the games by restoring it from a Claw Fossil. It then evolves into Armaldo at level 40. Anorith and Armaldo are known for their ancient, prehistoric appearance, resembling creatures from the Cambrian period. Their natural habitat, when alive, would have been deep oceans. In the games, they are often found in museums or research facilities after being revived. Anorith is a relatively rare Pokémon due to its specific acquisition method, and its evolution, Armaldo, is a formidable physical attacker. In the anime, fossils and their revivals often play a significant role in episodes focusing on archaeological discoveries and the wonders of the ancient world. The concept of reviving ancient life forms from fossils is a recurring theme in the Pokémon universe, highlighting themes of preservation and scientific discovery.
