Kalos Fossils
http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados/tyrunt.gifhttp://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados/amaura.gif Every region has a tendency to introduce a new duo of fossil Pokemon, and Kalos is no exception, introducing the Rock/Dragon-type Tyrunt, revived from a Jaw Fossil, and the Rock/Ice-type Amaura who is revived from a Sail Fossil. You could obtain one of said fossils in the Glittering Cave after you defeat Team Flare for the first time. So, which one of the two did you choose in the game? |
Aurorus is my favorite fossil Pokemon so far, so in each of my X&Y playthroughs, that's the one that I chose. I love its design, and I'm a big fan of its type combination as well. I'm a fan of Tyrunt as well, and Tyrantrum is probably better from a competitive point of view, but for a playthrough I normally go for my personal favorites rather than competitive viability.
|
When I got to the part of the cave where you receive the fossils, I looked both of the fossil Pokémon up. I already knew about Tyrunt, and I thought its design was pretty cool (am I the only one who thinks Tyrunt and Tyrantrum are very reminiscent of Digimon...?), but I fell in love with Amaura when I saw its picture <3

I actually had no clue which Pokemon belonged to which fossil since it was first experience with the game. So i ended up choosing Jaw Fossil, curious to see what came from it, and i wasn't disappointed! I immediately fell in love with the adorable little Tyrunt and then was amazed by the sheer power that Tyrantrum exhibited. Safe to say that this line is now in my top 15 favorite Pokemon!
|
I went and got the Jaw Fossil/Tyrunt. Tyrunt and Tyrantrum were basically the only Pokemon I was absolutely certain I wanted to have in my party. Love the typing and like that it's modeled after after a Tyrannosaur.

But yeah, there's no real need to go for competitive viability with your in-game teams at all. |

And geeze, I'm way behind the times, I hadn't even realized Rock Head Tyrantrum was released already :o |
I'm on Team Amaura as well, mainly because I liked it better design-wise. While it may be a tank that has awful defensive typing, lack of recovery and Power Gem (which would have been a great STAB) it does at least have Refrigerate to make up for that allowing for some powerful attacks.
|
Tyrunt/Tyrantrum simply because I like bipedal dinosaurs better than quadrupedal ones haha.
That and he looks cooler, IMO. Not entirely a fan of Amaura's looks, but Aurorus looks great. Quote:
|
I chose the sail fossil as it is much cuter that Tyrunt.
|
I wasn't expecting so much love for the Sail fossil! Don't freeze dry me here, but I've never actually selected the sail fossil. XD I always go with Tyrunt and nickname it "Lil'Arms," which I find hilarious every time I see a TRex use "Dragon Claw." That itty bitty rawr is too cute.
|
I'm more of a Carnivorous and Jurassic Park Guy so Jaw Fossil for me because the design so regal and look like exactly like T-rex and it saves time on evolution because I play less on night.
|
I picked Amaura in Y, but I like both of them equally. I'm gonna pick Tyrunt in Z version and have it on my team.
|
I chose Tyrunt, but at the time I didn't know what Pokemon the Fossils made, so it was really just a shot in the dark; there was an equal chance that I could've chosen Amaura. On that note, I later traded my Tyrunt for Amaura.
|
I picked Sail Fossil/Amaura
It's really cute and it's not too horrible in game! |
The Kalos fossil Pokémon are by far my favorite fossil Pokémon of all time, honestly. They're both modeled after my favorite dinosaurs and have really great designs and such. I picked both - Amaura in my X version when I first played that, and then Tyrunt when I got Y version later, and while Tyrunt/Tyrantrum is so much better as far as typing and overall usefulness, I still really like Amaura/Aurorus just because they're the first "pretty" fossil Pokémon we've had so far, lol.
|
I picked the Jaw Fossil the first time around because I like Tyrunt's design more. It looks tough and ready to battle. While Amaura is pretty and its design has grown on me, Tyrunt was just cool and Tyrantrum even cooler. It also helps that Tyrunt/Tyrantrum is stronger in battle, and I like powerful Pokemon.
|
Amaura line is definitely the one I like most; they're super-adorable. Unfortunately, though, I've never gotten to use them as much in-battle, and I should try changing that.
|
I was sold on the Jaw Fossil from the moment I saw Tyrunt.
Not just because T-rex are cool, but it's a Rock-Dragon. And Tyrantrum is also incredibly beastly looking. ...I can't even accurately describe why I like the line so much, but Tyrantrum is one of my favorite Dragon-types. |
I looked them up and went with the Jaw Fossil for the same reason I chose Y over X. I liked the designs of Tyrunt/Tyrantrum (and Yveltal) over Amaura/Aurorus (and Xerneas). A Rock/Dragon? Hell yes. A T-Rex Pokemon? Hell yes squared.
I named it Gridlocke after the Dinobot (I misremembered Grimlock as Gridlock) and added the e for John Locke. |
Amaura is amazing, but I chose Tyrunt. I have always wanted a Pokemon based off of a t-rex. It's just awesome.
|
I choose Amaura because my brother chose Tyrunt.
|
huge fan of Aurorus' cry
|
Went with the sail fossil for a few reasons.
1) Amaura is adorable. 2) Decent 'Mon to take on the Kalos E4. 3) I knew people would be breeding Tyrantums for competitive play, so any that end up on the trading circuit are gonna have something good on them. Lo and behold, I get a Tyrunt with perfect HP, Attack, and Sp.Def IVs on Wonder Trade. |
I prefer Tyrunt and Tyrantrum! Unique typing and great design. (: My most favorite fossil Pokemon so far! (:
|
I preferred the design of Amaura so I chose the sail fossil.
I didn't end up using it on my team though, I didn't like it enough for that. |
Gonna have to give this one to Tyrunt. Not that Amaura isn't cool but something about an ancient dragon type was just too much for me not to scoop it up. When it comes to competitive they both have their spots on certain teams. Specs refrigerate hyper-voice is power but I'd still prefer a banded head smash ^^.
|
I also had to go with Tyrunt. Don't get me wrong, I think Amaura is cute AF, but I've got a soft spot for Dragon types and he also reminded me of Chomper from The Land Before Time.
HOWEVER... I do have one question regarding these fossils: Lets say I want a female Tyrunt. Can I just save before I revive it, then if it isn't a female, boot up my old save and repeat until I get a girl??? Or is the male/female chance tied to your specific game...? Because I want to breed dem little fellers. |
As someone who grew up in the 90s, Jurassic Park remains to this day one of my favourite movies of all time, so when we finally got a tyrannosaurus Pokémon I was ecstatic. I use it all the time. Except one playthrough as a female character where I felt Aurorus was a better fit for my team as it's a very feminine design as opposed to the more masculine looking Tyrantrum.

Alright! Thanks a lot for the info! Gonna make a bunch o' dino babies then. |
In my opinion, this is definitely the best Pokemon fossil pair so far. Whilst I adore both, I sided with Aurorus mostly because I think Amaura is very cute. A few years ago I designed dinosaur Pokemon when I was at uni and Amaura is very similar to one I drew ;) Although now I still have a little regret that I didn't choose Tyrunt, mostly because I would love to say "we have a T-Rex" :D
|
I love both. I usually love all Dino based fossils. But I had to go with Tyrunt. I love Ice type pokemon, my favorite type, but I also love dragons. Not to mention I liked the color of Tyrunt.
I used it until the 6th gym, and then I stopped using it. |
I picked tyrunt cause IT'S A T-REX!!!!!!!
|
I really love both fossils. But overall, I chose Tyrunt; I have a soft spot for Tyrantrum, even though I boxed mine before I even evolved it.
|
As for me, I picked Amaura mainly because my play through was an Ice-monotype and I needed Electric coverage. It became one of my better team members oddly.
|
I picked Amaura because Ice types are in my top five list and I also like its design, evolution line and think it's pretty cute. I haven't evolved mine yet and it's already past the level of when it evolves. I'll evolve it eventually lol.
|
I chose Amaura just because it was so cute and even though it doesn't do as well in the competitive scene I still managed to find a place for it in my team. No one is ever expecting a cute little Amaura in LC with Choice Specs Refrigerate Hyper Beam.
|
Battle wise:Tyrunt
Fossil Dragons was just too much for me plus I'm Jurrasic Park fan Design wise:Amaura SO CUTE!!It can also learn a lot of interesting/strong moves |
Tyrunt is beter ;d
