Anorith (アノプス Anopth) is a Rock/Bug-type Pokémon. It is a Fossil Pokémon capable of being revived from the Claw Fossil. Starting at level 40, it can evolve into an Armaldo.

Appearance

Anorith is based on an ancient ocean-dwelling creature from the pre-cambrian era called anomalocaris. It uses the fins on its sides to propel itself through the seas. It has one pair of large eyes, and a pair of claws that eventually would become a Claw Fossil found in the Hoenn region. And it's small eyes stick out of it's face.

Special Abilities

Anorith has the abilities Swift Swim and Battle Armor. Battle Armor prevents Anorith from gaining critical hits while Swift Swim increases Anorith's speed when in rain. They are known to live in the prehistoric times of the Pokémon era and they grab their prey on the sea floor with their sharp claws.
