Start: Porington City – Museum
Avery talks about a project to reintegrate ancient Pokémon into Aoroa's ecosystem. But how is that supposed to work when some can only be revived from fossils?
This quest is required to complete the quest “Saving the Climate.”
Stage 1 – Show a Fossil
Talk to Avery in the museum’s back room and show her any fossil. She’ll grant you access to the Fossil Chamber, where Jack is working on a project and needs your help.
Stage 2 – Talk to Jack
In the back area, researchers are studying fossils from other regions with the goal of introducing them into Aoroa’s ecosystem. Jack wants to start by reviving every known fossil Pokémon.
Stages 3–13 – Revive Fossils
You can revive the fossils you’ve found into Pokémon with Jack’s help. The locations of the Ruin Maniacs scattered across Aoroa can be found under “Special NPCs.”
Stage 14 – Fossil Fragments
There are four fossil fragments that can be purchased from Hector after your initial conversation with him and Jack.
Stage 15 – Talk to Jack and Petra
Speak with Jack and Petra Fact, who has come from the Galar region to assist with the project. Afterward, you can combine the fossil fragments with Petra’s help to revive the remaining four Pokémon.
Stages 16–19 – Show Frank the Pokémon
Show the four combined fossil Pokémon to Frank to continue the quest.
Stage 20 – Talk to Jack
Report back to Jack. He’ll tell you that several potential habitats must now be surveyed to find suitable homes for the fossil Pokémon.
Stages 21–24 – Scout the Locations
There are four locations to explore in sequence. The current active location is always shown on the quest map. Each route contains three invisible “checkpoints” that must be passed. A message will appear once a route is fully explored, unlocking the next one.
The routes are as follows:
Route 3
, Mt. Ahi West
, Route 15, Route 18
Stage 25 – Talk to Jack
Report your findings to Jack. The fossil Pokémon will now appear in the wild according to their habitats, and the quest will end.
