Read more ↓Claw Fossil represents the ancient remains of Anorith, a Rock/Bug-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region, introduced in Generation III. This prehistoric Pokémon, revived from a Claw Fossil, is known for its two large claws that it uses to catch prey in ancient seas. Anorith is the first stage in an evolutionary line, evolving into Armaldo at level 40. Its Pokedex entries often highlight its nature as a creature from a bygone era, having adapted to life in the primordial oceans. In the games, players typically choose between the Claw Fossil and the Root Fossil (leading to Lileep) to revive one of these ancient Pokémon. In the anime, Anorith and Armaldo have appeared, showcasing their unique aquatic and terrestrial adaptations. As a Rock/Bug type, Anorith has specific type matchups, being strong against Fire, Flying, and Ice types, but vulnerable to Water, Rock, and Steel attacks. The concept of reviving fossils is a recurring theme in the Pokémon world, emphasizing themes of discovery, history, and the power of science to bring the past to life. Claw Fossil, as a precursor to Anorith, symbolizes this journey of revival and the enduring mystery of ancient Pokémon.
