In the Pokémon universe, fossils are ancient remnants of Pokémon that can be brought back to life through scientific means. The Cover Fossil specifically revives Tirtouga, a Water/Rock type Pokémon introduced in Generation V (Black and White games). Tirtouga is known as the Prototurtle Pokémon, evolving into Carracosta.
