    What Pokemon do you feel are endangered? In R/B/Y, it was stated that Lapras was.

    Farfetch'd, because it's known to be extremely rare and multiple pokedex entries in the anime state that it's often hunted for food and it's numbers are decreasing. Also, I'm pretty sure that Farfetch'd itself is based on a population Japanese dish.

    If a pokemon were endangered, wouldn't you be able to create more from it's bones like Fossil pokemon?
     
    Rare pokemon possibly like Dunsparce though theres no canon evidence. Maybe the starter pokemon too since they're only owned by professors.
     
    Corsola is definitely endangered in Alola. During your tour in Aether Paradise Wicke says that Corsola are overhunted by Toxapex who just leave trails of corsola remains on the ocean floor (such a kid friendly game XD).

    ....No, because that would mean it's extinct.

    Endangered =/= extinct.
     
    Most starter pokemon probably, as we rarely see more of these pokemon than the original trio in the main series games.

    Mudbray was hunted to near extinction in the pokemon world, and now wild variants are only found in Alola according to the Sun and Moon website. While we don't know if this means Mudbray (and by extension, Mudsdale) are still endangered, they certainly were once.

    Even if yes, that's not really a great means of increasing population of a species. If you just wanted one, then yeah, but if your goal was to rehabilitate the species of Farfetch'd or Lapras or something else, you're not going to get far by producing them one at a time in a machine that takes ages to churn them out and that each region only has one of.

    Also, I'm not sure if this was ever covered in the anime/movies because I really only play the games, but we don't really know what the capabilities of the fossil revival machine are, do we? All it's been able to revive are a few particular species of Rock-types. To quote Bulbapedia: "It is unknown if this is because that is the way they were in the past and their Rock-type allowed them to leave behind more complete remains, or if their Rock-type status is a side effect of the revival process." so in either situation, it seems far fetched (hah) that it could be at all useful in sparking a species-wide revitalization of Farfetch'd or Lapras or anything else for that matter.

    mmmh, Maybe Legendary Pokemon who cant protect theirself?
    LIke Cosmog or Cosmoem?
    other then that also Corsola in Alola, maybe also Feebas /Milotic? because they are difficult to get?

    Doesn't really take that long to restore a pokemon from a fossil does it? You just have to leave the room and come back {XD}
