Discover where to find Pokémon fossils in Glittering Cave and how to revive them into living Pokémon at the Fossil Lab in Ambrette Town. Learn about all fossil types!

Alright, so you've been smashing rocks in Glittering Cave and found some weird old fossils? Awesome! Don't just toss them aside – these are actually the keys to bringing some seriously ancient Pokémon back to life. Think of it like a prehistoric Pokémon resurrection service!

Here's the deal: you'll find these fossils by using the move Rock Smash on those cracked rocks scattered around Glittering Cave. At first, you might only find Old Amber, but trust me, keep at it, especially after you've beaten the Elite Four. That's when the real treasure trove of different fossils opens up.

Once you've collected a few, you'll want to head over to Ambrette Town. Look for the Fossil Lab there. The folks inside are the experts who can take your dusty old fossils and, with a bit of scientific magic, turn them into living, breathing Pokémon. Pretty neat, huh?
