Description

Acquisition

In the anime

A Plume Fossil appeared in Archeops In The Modern World!, which had been given to Professor Juniper and Fennel by Lenora. They successfully resurrected a female Archen from the Fossil using Musharna's dream energy. With the help of Ash and his Tranquill, Archen learned how to fly and then evolved into Archeops.

Kiawe found a Plume Fossil in Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!, during the Stoutland Search treasure hunt set up for Ash and his classmates by Olivia. A Plume Fossil also appeared in on a holographic screen during Sophocles's first hunt for treasure.

In the TCG

The Plume Fossil was introduced as an Item card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game in the Noble Victories expansion, first released in the Japanese Red Collection. It allows players to look at the bottom seven cards of their deck, reveal an Archen they find there, and put it onto their Bench. The other six cards are then shuffled back into the deck.

Unidentified Fossil cards are Fossil Trainer cards which become Basic Pokémon. While they do not feature a Plume Fossil, certain Archen evolve from Unidentified Fossil.

Trivia

• While the item description for the Plume Fossil states the Fossil came from a "Pokémon that (once) flew/lived in the sky", the Backpacker who gives away the Fossils in Pokémon Black and White mentions that the Plume Fossil is from a Pokémon that lived in an ancient forest, but could not fly. Considering what is known about the Archaeopteryx genus, this may be intentional to some degree.
