Three Pokémon are obtained in a very special way during the first generation: they are relics of a bygone age in Kanto.
Getting the fossils
Fossils are very special items, and count among the rare ones. They contain the DNA of a prehistoric Pokémon whose species is extinct, but which you can bring back to life during your adventure. Two of them can be obtained in a single playthrough, provided you have got the matching fossil and then take it to a scientist.
- The Old Amber can be obtained by talking to one of the scientists working at the back of the Pewter City Museum. It holds a piece of Aerodactyl’s DNA.
- The Dome Fossil is one of the fossils you can choose at Mt. Moon, and it gives you Kabuto.
- The Helix Fossil is the other fossil you can choose at Mt. Moon, and it gives you Omanyte.
WARNING! Whichever fossil you do not pick between the Dome and the Helix can no longer be obtained in the same playthrough. To get that Pokémon, you will have to trade for it.

Reviving the Pokémon
To unlock the potential of the fossils, head to the Cinnabar Lab on Cinnabar Island, the building at the bottom left of the picture beside this text. In one of the workrooms, hand your fossils over to the scientist who is marvelling at them, then come back a little later and he will give you a brand-new Pokémon!
