As many of you know, Pokemon Sword And Shield features a unique take on the series’ “Fossil Pokemon” in that they are mix-and-match critters created by reviving two different fossils as one Pokemon.

Naturally, many fans have wondered what these fossil Pokemon might have looked like if revived individually, with many of them drawing their own take on the concept.

Below you will find a some of the more interesting designs we have found, although most of them generally follow similar themes and inspirations:
