Why can't I revive fossils in Pokémon Platinum?

Sep. 17, 2020

I already got a Armor Fossil underground and beaten the third gym, but the man in the Oreburgh Mining Museum still says, “From Fossils I can extract Pokémon, but not yet, not yet. Any help? I really want a Bastiodon.

Here’s a suggestion that I hope will help. Your overworld bag and your underworld bag are separate, so you can’t access both at the same time. When you want to move a fossil to the overworld bag, you have to select it and press “MOVE TO BAG” while you’re underground.

Another possible solution is to complete every mission from the Underground Man in Eterna City. You could also walk out of the museum, save your game, restart, and walk back in. I’ve never encountered this problem before, so I’m not certain on any one right way.

I love Bastiodon too, good luck on your adventure.
